p-Tau 217: The Breakthrough Biomarker Revolutionizing Early Alzheimer’s Detection

p-Tau 217: The Breakthrough Biomarker Revolutionizing Early Alzheimer’s Detection

Author: Dr. Kara Fitzgerald March 19, 2025 Duration: 1:07:49
Join me for a fascinating conversation around an exciting breakthrough in dementia detection that’s offering real hope for early intervention. Dr. Hans Frykman, Chief Scientific Officer at Neurocode Laboratories, is here to share groundbreaking insights into cutting-edge biomarkers that can identify pathology associated with Alzheimer's disease before symptoms even appear. What’s even more fascinating is how these same tools are revealing neuroinflammation caused by infections, including COVID, Lyme disease, and mold exposure—issues that are incredibly relevant in functional medicine today. The assays Dr. Frykman and his team have developed, and continue to research, are transforming the way we think about diagnosing and addressing neurodegeneration. We’re talking about a potential game-changer that allows us to intervene earlier, reverse damage, and ultimately improve the trajectory of these conditions. This is an extraordinary time in science and medicine, and the work we’re discussing today is at the forefront of it all. Don’t miss out on how this could reshape your practice. ~DrKF
