Drs. Sherzai have developed an Alzheimer's Prevention Program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Unique to the Cedars-Sinai program, according to Sherzai, are interventions that will focus on a variety of disease pathways. Most other treatment programs have focused exclusively on the amyloid pathway, but the Cedars-Sinai program is targeting other pathways as well, such as inflammation and metabolic processes. According to Sherzai, studies on inflammation and metabolic processes have so far failed when applied to AD patients, but there has been significant response to both of these pathways in animal models, including in studies conducted in Cedars-Sinai's own labs. The failures in human studies, he believes, are largely a result of interventions applied too late, a problem he hopes to address by focusing on patients who are in the predisease or MCI stage.

The Sherzais also have a book available on Amazon. A link to their website. They are a handsome couple and seem to be media darlings. That almost makes me want to ignore them, but at least they are getting some traction with lifestyle treatment of AD.
The way their lifestyle differs from Bredesen is the carbs.
