Richard Isaacson: 本人致力于阿尔茨海默病的预防和治疗，认为其与全身代谢健康密切相关，而非仅仅是脑部疾病。通过对患者进行全面的血液检测，包括胆固醇、炎症指标、激素水平等，可以制定个性化的预防和治疗方案。同时，强调生活方式的改变，如规律运动、健康饮食和充足睡眠，对预防阿尔茨海默病至关重要。此外，本人还对基因在阿尔茨海默病中的作用进行了研究，发现基因并非决定性因素，可以通过改变生活方式来降低风险。 本人认为，淀粉样蛋白和tau蛋白是阿尔茨海默病的生物标志物，而非疾病的根本原因。降低它们的水平可以改善认知功能，但这并不意味着它们是疾病的直接原因。 本人还研究了ω-3脂肪酸和GLP-1类药物对阿尔茨海默病的影响，发现它们可以降低患病风险，并改善认知功能。 本人认为，美国的医疗体系侧重于疾病治疗而非预防，这导致许多疾病在晚期才被发现和治疗。预防医学是一个新兴的医学领域，需要一个多学科团队的合作。 Dax Shepard: 对阿尔茨海默病的预防和治疗充满兴趣，并积极参与相关研究。 对理查德·艾萨克森博士的研究成果表示赞赏，并认为其研究具有重要的意义。 对精准医疗和个性化治疗方案表示支持。 对阿尔茨海默病的预防和治疗充满希望，并期待未来能够有更多突破。
