About Me
I have spent my life helping people understand how their brain impacts the quality of their lives. As a board-certified Neurologist and a practicing clinician for over 40 years, I specialize in Dementia and Alzheimers, but I have also conducted years of research dedicated to how our brain health impacts every system of the body.
I have published six New York Times-bestselling books about these topics, and the most recent is Brain Defenders, which is the first book dedicated to the brain’s immune cells. These books create a strong foundation for learning, but there is new research being conducted all the time, and a very loud corner of the internet spouting misinformation.
