Alzheimer's Disease

The most common form of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease affects more than seven million Americans over 65. It’s a fatal disease that starves the brain of vital energy and prevents the formation of new memories as the mind, body, and spirit fade away.

Rebuild Medicine is working with leaders in science and medicine to understand the root causes of Alzheimer’s disease, create a better system of care for patients and families, and preserve America’s cognitive strength for future generations.

In a new paper for Rebuild Medicine, Preserving America’s Cognitive Strength, Dr. Suzanne Gazda, MD, neurologist and founder of the Neurology Institute of San Antonio discusses the importance of lifestyle changes to improve brain health, new insights into the genetic, environmental and behavioral causes of Alzheimer's disease, the role of repurposed generic treatments and other therapies, and actionable recommendations to improve care for patients and families.

“I believe we have reached a watershed moment in recognizing the factors that lead to the decline of brain health. As a practicing neurologist and clinician, I’m following research developments to give my patients the best care possible while guiding them to prevent Alzheimer’s disease, and I’ve never been more optimistic.”
