Episode 382 - The Podcast That Could Save Your Life with Chad Pollard

Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, ALS, Parkinson's, and most other horrible neurodegenerative diseases share a root cause: neurons dying. Chad Pollard, our guest for today's show, discovered a way to identify the early death of those neurons and trace them back to the specific part of the brain they belong. With only a blood sample, it is possible to identify neurodegenerative diseases in their early stages, even before symptoms start showing up.  In this episode, Chad Pollard, Co-Founder and CEO at Wasatch Biolabs, shares details of the discovery that will revolutionize how we diagnose diseases. Chad Majored in Genetics, Genomics, and Biotech and is a Ph.D. candidate in Cell Biology and Physiology at BYU (Brigham Young University). On his path to becoming a Neurologist, Chad needed to get involved in research, so he signed up at his mentor's lab. Little did he know that decision would change his life and redirect his career.Throughout our conversation, Chad talks about his discovery and how it revolutionizes the scenario of neurodegenerative diseases' diagnosis and early treatment. We also talk about therapeutics, how Chad's discovery can dramatically expand people with neurodegenerative diseases' lifetime, how it can even change the concussion protocol in sports, and much more.Tune in to Episode 382 and learn more about Chad's revolutionary discovery that'll change how we diagnose diseases.Some Questions I Ask: Please, walk us through the progression of what you discovered, what you're doing, and why this matters.
