52: Alzheimer's Update--Expensive New Med vs Fasting & Keto (KetoFlex 12-3)
Listen now
Description
Lecanemab (aka Leqembi) recently got full approval form the FDA for Alzheimer’s treatment, and will now be covered by Medicare. But this medication is not only expensive, it has some major health risks. In this episode, I'll break down the risks and benefits of this new medication. Then I’ll compare lecanemab to an Alzheimer's program centered around fasting and ketosis (along with a few other medical tests and treatments), developed by Dr. Dale Bredesen, author of “The End of Alzheimer’s”.
