Charles James Ogletree, Jr. is the Jesse Climenko Professor at Harvard Law School and the founder of the school’s Charles Hamilton Houston Institute. With prolific former students such as Michelle Obama and trials under his belt for Tupac Shakur and Anita Hill, Professor Ogletree has fought for decades for justice and civil rights. He is also living with Alzheimer’s disease, having disclosed his diagnosis in July 2016. We spoke to him about his experiences and his Alzheimer’s story.
“I’ve learned that every person’s Alzheimer’s journey is different – not one is the same,” the professor reflects. “It’s interesting, because in my case, I didn’t have any sense about what was happening to me as the disease came to light. I didn’t notice the symptoms of Alzheimer’s in myself.

If you’ve reached this article, you’ve likely done so for one of two reasons.
You have shoulder pain and want to do something about it. The discomfort could be acute (“Ouch! I did something and now my shoulder hurts.”) and only occur when you perform certain moves, or it could be chronic like an achy soreness. Or…
Your shoulders don’t hurt, and you want to keep it that way.
Either way, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve spent my life working with a mix of rehab patients and strength athletes, which means my job requires me to become an expert in pain management and prevention. Because let’s be honest: no one likes shoulder pain, and — even worse — no one likes doing a bunch of exercises that don’t seem to solve the problem.
Many people who perform a bunch of rotator cuff exercises to protect their shoulders are misusing their time.
You see, there are many shoulder movements that go unnoticed by many, bu…

Every shopping trip to your local farmers’ market can feel like a food adventure, trying new flavors or picking up favorites that you’ve waited three long seasons to eat. A smorgasbord of bright, colorful, wild and wonderful produce of all shapes and sizes await your selection. While your wide eyes search for robust new flavors, colors, and textures to add to your next meals, don’t forget to grab these five seasonal staples, too, that are packed with health-promoting nutrients, according to the latest science.
1. Basil
Pass the pesto, please. Several recent studies show that basil may help suppress the rise in blood glucose after a meal. Scientists say these findings could eventually lead to an effective treatment for people living with diabetes in the near future. This yummy herb is also really low in calories and high in nutrients including beta carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin, which are all good for the eyes. It also contains vitamin K for bone health, and antioxidants orientin and vicenin. In one small study published in DARU Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, a cream containing basil extract was found to moisturize skin and reduce wrinkles. Maybe that’s why Madonna</a…

A few weeks before the end of 2016, which was also a few weeks before the end of a congressional session and the end of President Barack Obama’s time in office, the 21st Century Cures Act became law. It had been passed with overwhelming support in the House of Representatives and the Senate and it was signed in to law by President Obama in December. The law makes sweeping, if not controversial, changes to many of the most important issues facing health care today, but we must wait to see how – and if – the law will be funded under a new President and future Congresses.
Originally introduced in 2015, the Act was proposed with the goal of promoting development and speeding approval of new drugs and medical devices, and, in its final form, it offers broad incentives and funding opportunities for many areas of health care research, development, a…

Researchers out of France and Monaco recently finished one of the longest and largest studies on Alzheimer’s disease. The study focused on using multidomain lifestyle intervention with Omega 3 supplementation for Alzheimer’s patients. Researchers tested the effect of omega 3 supplementation and a multidomain intervention (43 group sessions integrating cognitive training, physical activity, and nutrition,
