So what are your thoughts with all of that?

So the first thing you want to think about is that at this point in time, the latest studies say that Alzheimer's is probably about 50% genetically determined, but 50% environmentally determined.

So that means there are potential interventions that we can do to prevent the onset of the disease if we can diagnose it early enough.

And indeed, it looks like the markers for Alzheimer's are present somewhere between 10 to 15 years prior to the onset of early cognitive decline and ultimately Alzheimer's.

So we have a lot of reason, I think, for looking.

Now, the challenge is, if you're going to look, I have one patient who is P-tau positive in her 50s who does not have any cognitive decline whatsoever.

She wanted to get this testing done.

Just even going in for the infusions and stuff, I would think it would be really time-consuming.

When it comes to longevity, what are the top hidden stressors that are silently aging people?

So longevity, okay, basically it's inflammation.

It's a chronic inflammatory process that's wearing you down.

So one of the big things is sleep, right? So if you're not getting enough sleep and you're finding that you're waking up, now, let's talk about sleep for a second.

This is very important, sleep apnea.

Sleep apnea is when you stop breathing at night.

That happens to about 5% of the population.

My next question is what treatments or therapies at Kaplan Clinic have surprised you the most in terms of reversing stress-related aging?

Is that all kind of right?

Yes, and so we have to stop thinking in terms of the symptom, all right, and instead back up and think in terms of the person and look at a much bigger factor.

So, you know, genetics.

We are finally getting to the point in genetics of understanding increased risk factors.

Alzheimer's.

We can identify people who are on their path to Alzheimer's 10 to 20 years prior to the development of the symptoms of the disease.

All right? That's a 10 to 20-year window where I can intervene and probably slow down, if not stop, the development of the disease.

Tell us about the latest science and how it connects to longevity because everybody wants to live longer, but we also want to live well.
