For many people, Alzheimer’s disease casts an increasingly large shadow as mental fog, forgotten names, or slower thinking appear with age. However, our brains are not helpless. They have their own built-in cleaning and repair system—one that can dramatically reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s if properly supported.

In a Vital Signs interview with Brendon Fallon, Dr. Gerald Lemole, a pioneering heart transplant surgeon, explains how this natural detox system works and shares science-backed ways to keep the brain functioning well for years to come.

Your Brain’s Hidden Cleaning Crew
