Scientists Find Possible New Defense Against Alzheimer’s Damage
Commenting on new research into the brain’s own protective proteins, Dr. Goodenowe — founder and CEO of Prodrome Sciences — offered perspective on why the brain’s natural defense systems deserve as much attention as the damage Alzheimer’s causes.
“This study is encouraging because it reminds us that the brain has its own protective biology.”

Dementia Risk Could Be Reduced by Daytime Light Exposure
On an 8-year study of nearly 90,000 adults linking daytime light exposure to lower dementia risk, Dr. Goodenowe — neuroscientist and author of Breaking Alzheimer’s — placed the finding in the wider context of brain health.
“Maintaining healthy daytime light exposure represents another potentially important component of overall brain health…and the body, overall.”

Trial Drug Could Clear Toxic Alzheimer’s Proteins and Restore Memory
On a copper-based compound targeting the brain’s waste-clearance system, Dr. Goodenowe underscored that Alzheimer’s is a whole-environment disease — and that promising lab results still have to prove themselves in people.
“The key question is not simply whether amyloid changes, but whether the intervention improves cognition, function and outcomes in humans.”

Neuroscientist Reveals His Favorite Exercise To Help Grow New Brain Cells
On the role of exercise in reducing Alzheimer’s risk, Dr. Goodenowe — neuroscientist and author of Breaking Alzheimer’s — explained why resistance training builds not just muscle but brain resilience.
“Resistance training isn’t just about building muscle—it’s about building brain resilience. By engaging in strength-based exercises, we enhance brain function, slow cognitive decline and reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.”
Dr. Goodenowe was not involved in the studies above; he is quoted as an independent expert.
