"What’s good for the heart is good for the brain." Can better cholesterol management in midlife actually lower your patient’s risk of Alzheimer’s disease?

In this episode, I’m joined by returning guest Josh Wageman, PhD, PA-C, a clinical lipid specialist who studied cholesterol disturbances in Alzheimer’s disease. Together, we unpack how cholesterol, APOB, APOE4, insulin resistance, and statins intersect with Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive decline, and what clinicians can do now to protect brain health long before symptoms appear.

Plus, a peek at emerging therapies (including GLP-1 receptor agonists and lipid-centric approaches) and how a metabolic lens is reshaping future Alzheimer’s treatment.

117 | What’s the Best Diet to Lower Cholesterol?

111 | HDL = Good, LDL = Bad? It’s Not That Simple.

80 | The MIND Diet: What To Eat For Brain Health
