Why I Will Never Get Alzheimer’s — And Why You Don’t Have To Either

I'm an MD-PhD at high risk for Alzheimer’s disease. In this letter, I share my Alzheimer's prevention protocol—plus the scientific rationale behind each choice.

As an MD PhD who literally wrote his thesis on neurodegenerative disease—and as someone who carries not one but two copies of the major risk gene variant for Alzheimer’s (ApoE4/4)—you can imagine I’m highly motivated to build a routine that protects my brain until the day I die.

Now, forgive the authoritative opening tone, but I want to get you laser focused on what this letter is going to be about: This is a high-yield synthesis of my supplement and medication protocol for Alzheimer’s prevention.

My Aim is Simple:

  • Summarize what I do to protect my brain and why in a manner that is as concise as possibly while maintaining nuance.

  • Throughout, I’ll back every statement with links out to deep dives from our archives for those who want to scrutinize the mechanisms and evidence behind each decision.

No fluff. No hedging. Let’s get straight to it.
