Description

Description:
In the third and final episode of the healthspan series, Dr. Erin Faules and Dr. Jeff Graham explore the intersection between neurodegenerative disease and metabolic dysfunction—two often-connected drivers of decline. They discuss early detection strategies, the role of genetics, and insulin resistance, and emerging clinical tools to assess and reduce long-term risk.
Key Topics Covered:
  • Distinguishing normal aging from neurodegenerative disease
  • Early signs of cognitive decline and how to detect them
  • The role of APOE-4 and other genes in Alzheimer's risk
  • Metabolic dysfunction as a driver of brain aging ("Type 3 diabetes")
  • Blood-based biomarkers: phospho-tau, NFL, CRP, fasting insulin, and more
  • Lifestyle interventions: sleep, strength training, CGMs, circadian-aligned eating
  • Tools like CNS Vital Signs, PET scans, and neuroquant MRIs
  • Supplements and prescriptions: Omega-3s, creatine, berberine, GLP-1s, inositol
  • Connecting muscle mass to glucose control and long-term healthspan
