The BetterBrains Trial highlights a personalized, multi-domain approach to lowering dementia risk. Targeting blood pressure, sleep, exercise, diet, and mood, this RCT demonstrates how precision lifestyle strategies can protect cognitive health. Click: tinyurl.com/f4t4c8mv

At CTAD 2025, lifestyle trials took center stage. The Look AHEAD Program’s 10‑year results show how long‑term changes in diet, physical activity, and vascular risk factors can slow cognitive decline. Click: tinyurl.com/3bjyt7bp

CTAD 2025 in San Diego reaffirmed how quickly Alzheimer’s research is evolving. 🧬 Biomarkers are becoming the foundation of trial precision and efficiency.  🧠 Digital tools + AI provide real-world cognitive insight.  💊 Combination therapies are replacing single-target models.

THM from the AMA Interim Meeting: AI + digital health must support—not replace—physicians. Evidence shows: • AI improves accuracy *with* physician oversight • Digital tools can reduce burnout • Bias + transparency remain urgent priorities

At the 2025 AMA Interim Meeting, we are focusing on how physicians can ethically and effectively use their voices to promote patient welfare, address inequities and support responsible policy change. Click: tinyurl.com/5bnzxr99

FAST saves lives. Learn the signs of stroke (Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call 911) at Walk with a Doc – CEERIAS. Your health is worth the walk.

💜 ~12M unpaid dementia caregivers. 18–19B+ hours. $413B in value. Caregiving is health care—support matters. #CaregiverSupport #BrainHealth #USPOINTER

🧬 Was happy to pay a visit to @RosalindFranklinU for the 4th Annual Biomedical Innovation Day on #BrainHealth! Was very proud to join experts discussing Alzheimer’s, neurodegeneration & precision diagnostics. Innovation starts with collaboration. #RFU #Neuroscience #AlzheimersResearch#WomenInBio

At every walk, we talk about stroke risk factors—high blood pressure, diabetes, and smoking—and DIET. Yes, DIET Learn how lifestyle changes can reduce risk heart disease and stroke risk factors. Education + exercise and DIET = prevention.

In adults 65–84, >10% weight loss via mild calorie restriction improved LDL (−8%), TG (−28%), HDL (+12%) and cut inflammation: hs-CRP (−59%), IL-6 (−33%), GlycA (−7.5%). Click: tinyurl.com/45pbdw4n

Post: 80% of strokes are preventable. Walking lowers blood pressure, reduces stress, and keeps your weight in check—all major stroke risk factors.

NOURISH includes structural MRI scans to track how diet may affect brain structure—monitoring total brain & hippocampal volume, & white matter changes over time, in addition to brain infarcts. Nutrition science can inform how these neuroimaging markers change over time. Click: tinyurl.com/4nfpp6s6

The Rationale: Nutrition and Post-Stroke Recovery Medications for post-stroke cognitive decline remain limited—and many dementia drug trials exclude stroke survivors. Click: tinyurl.com/esww7fyz

Did you know physical activity increases blood flow to the brain? That’s why walking helps protect against dementia and stroke. Learn more at our sessions on the 2nd Friday of the month @KROC Center.

Walking and movement doesn’t just move your legs—it sharpens your mind. Each Kroc Center walk includes the latest research, trial results on how movement  supports memory and thinking skills, especially after a stroke.

Retinal biomarkers are powerful, but standardization, diversity in validation, and AI-driven analysis are needed for clinical translation. We are getting closer to achieving our goal- and deep learning models are positioning to get us there sooner than we thought. Click: tinyurl.com/3dd79fyf

In Medical School and Residency training in Neurology we heard that the eye offers a clear view into brain health. Retinal thickness changes seen on OCT can mirror brain atrophy in Alzheimer’s disease. Click: tinyurl.com/2j527sep

Small steps, and music for dance all add up! Walking and exercise reduces stroke risk by tackling weight, levels of cholesterol, and diabetes—the big three risk factors for stroke and heart disease. Join us on the 2nd Friday of the month at the KROC Center.
