Episode 660: Can You Prevent Alzheimer's? Brain Health, Sleep, Hormones & Lifestyle with Marianne Wh
Elizabeth "Bizzy" Chance

Can Alzheimer's really be prevented? While there are no guarantees, research shows that many of the lifestyle choices we make today may significantly impact our brain health decades from now.

In Episode 660, Elizabeth sits down with registered nurse, Alzheimer's advocate, and founder of Alzheimer's Prevention Project, Marianne Whitaker, to discuss the latest research on preventing cognitive decline and protecting your brain for the future. Marianne shares her deeply personal journey after both her father's Alzheimer's diagnosis and discovering she carries one of the highest genetic risks for developing the disease herself.

Together they discuss:

  • The surprising connection between loss of smell and brain health

  • Why sleep is one of the most powerful tools for protecting your brain

  • The role of estrogen and menopause in women's cognitive health

  • How stress affects memory and learning

  • The truth about genetics vs. lifestyle

  • Microplastics, nutrition, inflammation, and brain wellness

  • Small daily habits that can make a lasting difference

  • Why mindset may be your greatest preventative tool

Whether you're caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's, worried about your family history, or simply want to age with a healthier brain, this conversation is filled with hope, practical strategies, and empowering information.
