Fox News Senior Health editor Melissa Rudy spoke with Judy Benjamin, a wellness coach and Dr. Dale Bredesen’s “patient zero,” about her 3k-mile walk across the U.S. from San Diego to St. Augustine, Florida. You can follow Judy’s walk here.

Diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease at age 67, Benjamin told Rudy that she is determined to raise awareness about brain health and demonstrate that a diagnosis doesn’t mean the end of a vibrant life through this walk. She also discussed how she overcame her diagnosis, overhauling her lifestyle based on advice given to her by Dr. Dale Bredesen, and much more.
