While we may not yet know how to prevent Alzheimer's disease, there are steps you can take to improve the health of your brain.

Sleep, the natural cleaners of your brain - microglia - go to work when we're asleep, removing waste to maintain brain health.

Jim Taylor: What my wifeโ€™s experience with Alzheimerโ€™s has taught me Catching Alzheimerโ€™s early helps. Changes in the brain begin years before memory problems become noticeable.

Early detection gave Jim Taylor and his wife, Geri, precious timeโ€”time to plan, to advocate, and to live fully despite an Alzheimerโ€™s diagnosis. Weโ€™re grateful to Jim for sharing their story and showing how knowledge and support can make a difference.
