Welcome to another episode of Revolution Health Radio. This week I’m happy to welcome Dr. Dale Bredesen. Dr. Bredesen is an internationally recognized expert in the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. He graduated from Caltech, then earned his MD from Duke University Medical Center. He served as Chief Resident in Neurology at the University of California, San Francisco before joining Nobel laureate Stanley Prusiner’s laboratory at UCSF as an NIH Postdoc. He held faculty positions at UCSF, UCLA, and the University of California, San Diego. Dr. Bredesen directed the Program on Aging at the Burnham Institute before coming to the Buck Institute in 1998 as its founding President and CEO. I met Dr. Bredesen at a Functional Forum event where I gave the keynote back in April, and we had a fascinating chat before my talk on a functional and ancestral or evolutionary approach to diagnosing and treating Alzheimer’s disease. I was really excited by our conversation, and I asked Dr. Bredesen if he’d be willing to join me on my podcast to talk about it, which he was, so without further ado, let’s jump in. Chris Kresser: Dr. Bredesen, thank you so much for joining me. I’ve really been looking forward to this. Dale Bredesen, MD: And I as well. Thanks, Chris. Chris Kresser: We met at the Functional Forum event, and I was happy to have a chance to chat with you beforehand about your work with Alzheimer’s disease and was really excited to learn that you are beginning to approach it—or have been for sometime now—from a functional and evolutionary perspective, so I want to spend our time together today talking about that, but before we do that, can you maybe just give us a 30-second idea of your background, where you’re coming from, and how you got to this place where you’re now...
