Blood Pressure, Sleep, Exercise, Diet, and Other Lifestyle Risk Factors for Alzheimer's and Dementia
Much of the risk for Alzheimer's and dementia is shaped by factors you can change. Join Dr. Jeremy Pruzin and Dr. Pierre Tariot for a practical, evidence-based look at what the science shows — and what you can actually do about it.
A decade of research, distilled into one seminar.
The Lancet commission
The landmark paper identifying 14 modifiable dementia risk factors.
Sleep & the glymphatic system
How overnight brain cleansing removes amyloid and tau proteins.
MIND diet in practice
Which food patterns carry the strongest evidence for brain protection.
Seven risk factors. All evidence-based. All modifiable.
Dr. Pruzin and Dr. Tariot walk through each category with clear explanations of the research, real-world guidance, and time for your questions.
Blood Pressure
Hypertension midlife dramatically raises risk. What targets matter.
Sleep Quality
Sleep apnea, duration, and the brain's overnight cleaning system.
Physical Activity
Aerobic vs. resistance vs. balance training — what the data supports.
Diet
MIND and Mediterranean patterns: what helps and by how much.
Cognitive Engagement
Social connection, learning, and the concept of cognitive reserve.
Stress & Mood
Chronic stress, depression, and their links to dementia risk.
Live Q&A
