ABOUT DR. BREWER
Dr. Brewer started as an Emergency Doctor. After seeing too many preventable heart attacks, he went to Johns Hopkins to learn Preventive Medicine. While there, he went on the run the post-graduate training program (residency) in Preventive Medicine. From there, he made a career of practicing and managing preventive medicine and primary care clinics. His later role in this area was Chief Medical Officer for Premise, which has close to 1,000 primary care/prevention clinics. He was also the Chief Medical Officer for MDLIVE, the second largest telemedicine company. More recently, he founded PrevMed, a heart attack, and stroke prevention clinic.
At PrevMed, we focus on heart attack, stroke, and cognitive decline. We serve patients who have already experienced an event as well as those who have not developed a diagnosis or event. Dr. Brewer provides services via telemedicine or in person if you're in the Lexington, KY area. We find a lot of undiagnosed Pre-Diabetes or Insulin Resistance. Treating unrecognized risk factors like Pre-Diabetes allows reduction of risk and prevention of disease.

Scientific American recently covered the association of Metformin and dementia. The essence of the story was to show that Metformin is protective of dementia. The article then covers the ADA New Orleans presentation by Dr. Qian Shi of Tulane.
In studying over 6,000 US Vets with diabetes. Her research team demonstrated a significantly decreased risk for dementia for those on metformin. In fact, adjustment for age, level of disease, and other diabetes drugs - such as insulin - held true for metformin being protective.
This article covered lab animal research by Jing Wang and Freda Miller of the Toronto Hospital for Sick Children. They demonstrated increased spatial cognition by lab mice. Steven Arnold, a neurologist at Mass General (Harvard) demonstrated improved cognitive performance - and imaging evidence - in the brains of human mild cognitive impairment - when taking metformin.
Why isn't Dr. Arnold doing a larger, more definitive study of this issue? Metformin is very inexpensive. Because there is extremely little Pharma money to be made on Metformin, there is little funding available.
This is reminiscent of the TAME study (TArgetting Aging with Metformin) study. There is significant evidence that Metformin slows the general aging process. Yet funding for a study of this concept has suffered.
