Alzheimer’s Is Not a Brain Disease
What if Alzheimer’s doesn’t start in the brain at all? For decades, we’ve been told it’s a brain-first disease driven by sticky clumps of beta-amyloid. That story has shaped billions in research and entire drug pipelines — yet real-world outcomes remain disappointing....
Yes, Adults Can Grow New Brain Cells – Here’s What That Means for Brain Health and Ageing
For decades, one of neuroscience’s great debates has been whether adults can grow new brain cells. We’ve long accepted that babies and young children generate new neurons to build their developing brains – but what about adults? A new study published in Science in...
The Brain’s Sugar Secret: A Functional Medicine Take on Alzheimer’s and Glycogen
What if the very fuel our brain relies on is also contributing to its decline in later years? A new study published in Nature Metabolism (2025) has uncovered a powerful link between sugar storage in the brain and the progression of Alzheimer’s disease—offering a...
