Ahead of Alzheimer’s stands at the forefront of a new era, one where brain health and wellness become a national priority, early detection becomes standard, and Alzheimer’s is no longer a passive diagnosis, but an active, manageable condition. Our show brings together patients, families, caregivers, clinicians, researchers, policymakers, and thought leaders to explore the science, stories, breakthroughs, and policy conversations that can help people understand risk, recognize possibility, and act sooner. In this episode, Emily Kaplan speaks with Dr. Brent Beasley, a former internal medicine physician who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease at 57. Dr. Beasley shares what changed before his diagnosis, how specialized testing helped identify Alzheimer’s earlier, and why his wife’s advocacy made such a difference in getting care. He also talks about his treatment journey, finding purpose in sharing it, and appreciating life’s simple moments. Watch the episode to hear Dr. Beasley’s story and see why early detection is opening a new window of hope in Alzheimer’s care.
