Dementia Resilience with Jill Lorentz

October 4, 2022

My guest today is Dr. Peter Pressman, Neurologist and Researcher at the University of Colorado Hospital Anschutz in Denver, Colorado. Dr Pressman and Dr. Huntington Potter are looking for people to join the newest phase of the Sargramostim clinical trial. Otherwise known as the Leukine study. This clinical research is showing promise in fighting Alzheimer’s disease. Dr Pressman talks about what the research trial will entail, as well as answering some burning questions about the validity of some research that has drawn attention for not so good reasons. Dr. Pressman gets very candid and answers the tough questions in this segment.
