Max Lugavere: The 16 Year Alzheimer's Research Scandal Exposed | Ultimate Human | Ep. 101

Did you know that 99.6% of Alzheimer's drug trials fail? In this eye-opening episode of the Ultimate Human Podcast, host Gary Brecka sits down with health and science journalist Max Lugavere, to uncover the truth about Alzheimer's research and its implications for brain health. They discuss the shocking revelation of how a fraudulent 2006 paper misled Alzheimer’s research for 16 years! Max explains why medications that reduce brain plaques don't necessarily improve cognition, and some may even accelerate brain atrophy. The key takeaway? Focus on whole foods and simple lifestyle changes. You don't need fancy gadgets or the latest "miracle" drug to protect your brain. Remember: Your brain's health is largely in your control. Small, consistent changes in diet and lifestyle can make a big difference.
