Judy Benjamin Talks Alzheimer’s Recovery on The MindHealth360 Show

August 11, 2026

Dr. Judy Benjamin joins Kirkland Newman on The MindHealth360 Show for an in-depth conversation about the journey that ultimately led her to walk across two countries for Alzheimer’s awareness.

Judy recounts the fear she experienced after developing cognitive symptoms similar to those she had witnessed in her mother and other family members. She discusses becoming Dr. Dale Bredesen’s first human patient to follow the approach that later became the ReCODE Protocol and the long-term commitment she has made to supporting her cognitive and overall health.

The conversation also explores why Judy decided to walk across America at 81 and what she learned from the people she met along the way. Again and again, strangers shared their own experiences with Alzheimer’s and dementia, encounters that reinforced her determination to keep the conversation going.

Now 82, Judy is carrying that message across the UK as she walks from Land’s End to London, continuing her effort to raise awareness, encourage earlier action, and offer hope to people confronting cognitive decline.
