An adventure of a life time. I walked 2,790 miles, from San Diego, CA to St. Augustine, FL, with the message of hope that cognitive decline can be prevented and reversed.

Hi! I'm Judy
Judy Benjamin was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at the age of 67, following her mother’s passing after a 20-year struggle with the same disease. After receiving her diagnosis, Judy made major adjustments to her diet and lifestyle. This journey led her to a fortuitous meeting with Dr. Dale Bredesen, ultimately becoming his “patient zero” as she adopted his groundbreaking, clinically validated protocol for treating and preventing cognitive decline.
My Route
In a wide-ranging interview with Dr. Heather Sandison on the Think Well Age Well podcast, Judy Benjamin reflected on her journey from an Alzheimer's diagnosis at age 67 to becoming a leading voice for hope, resilience, and action in brain health.
In an interview with Dr. Manna Semby, Alzheimer's survivor Judy Benjamin described her experience after being diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer's disease in 2011 at age 67.
