Dr. Robert Redfield on changing the standard of Alzheimer's care
In the fourth episode of Ahead of Alzheimer's, Emily Kaplan speaks with former CDC Director Robert Redfield about why Alzheimer's should be managed like other major diseases that have benefited from routine screening and earlier intervention. Drawing on his experience during the HIV/AIDS epidemic, Dr. Redfield explains how making HIV testing a standard part of medical care transformed research, accelerated drug development, and dramatically improved patient outcomes. He believes Alzheimer's care is approaching a similar turning point.

Dr. Martin Picard on The Diary of a CEO
How mitochondria shape health, aging, stress, and disease
In this episode of The Diary of a CEO podcast, Dr. Martin Picard explains why mitochondria are far more than the cell's "powerhouses." He describes them as a dynamic communication network that determines how efficiently energy flows throughout the body, influencing everything from physical performance and resilience to aging and chronic disease. Throughout the conversation, he presents a framework he calls energy resistance, suggesting that many seemingly unrelated conditions—including diabetes, cancer, neurodegenerative disease, and chronic fatigue—can be understood as problems of disrupted energy flow rather than isolated organ dysfunction.

Drawing on more than two decades of work in policy and advocacy, Branham explains that advances in blood-based diagnostics, emerging treatments, and lifestyle interventions are transforming Alzheimer's from a disease with few options into one where earlier action can meaningfully improve quality of life.

Ketone Bodies Preserve Muscle During Acute Inflammation
β-hydroxybutyrate reduced muscle protein breakdown during acute inflammatory stress.
This randomized crossover study examined whether the ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) could reduce the muscle wasting that commonly accompanies acute inflammation. Healthy volunteers were given bacterial endotoxin (LPS) to induce a temporary inflammatory response, then received either BHB, free fatty acids, or saline while researchers measured muscle protein metabolism. BHB reduced muscle protein
