Barbara Bendlin, PhD, joined "Being Patient," an online news source for Alzheimer's disease and brain health research, for a video interview with host Deborah Kan. In the interview, Bendlin discussed how gut microbes can play a critical role in our overall health and the links between microbiome and neurodegeneration. As an Alzheimer’s disease researcher, Bendlin’s focus is on analyzing brain health trajectories through exercise, diet and gut microbiome and other modifiable risk factors.
Bendlin offered information to help listeners understand microbes, gut microbiome and the possible connections between gut bacteria and beta amyloid. Bendlin also describes a recent pilot study that investigated the effects of the gut microbiome on the brain.
“Gut Microbes and Alzheimer’s: A Conversation With Barbara Bendlin” was released on October 26, 2020.
