With the NFL playoffs happening this Sunday on Jan 26/2025, notice that many of the players are wearing new helmets that are extra padded to avoid concussions and injuries.
In Episode 12 of The Doctor Snow Brain Health Show entitled “Taylor Swift’s CTE Bombshell”, World-renowned PhD Neuropathologist, Inventor and Entrepreneur, Dr Alan Snow discuss recent world-wide conversations involving Jason Kelce (the brother of Travis Kelce who is dating Taylor Swift) who states he is confident he has CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy). CTE is caused mainly by repetitive blows to the head in various sports leading to brain neurofibrillary tangle formation and potential emotional disturbances in those athletes.

Dr Snow and Scott Alford (host) discuss the latest research pertaining to CTE and brain tangle formation, especially how it relates to NFL football players. Dr Snow discussed new findings from the laboratory of Dr Ann McKee of Boston University and how for the first time in history there is now a direct link between an increase in an athlete’s behavioral problems and an increase in tangles in their brain (pertaining to their diagnosis of CTE following autopsy). Dr Snow also discusses the new helmets that the NFL is introducing to the world to help reduce blows to the head, concussions and CTE to improve the overall safety of football players.
Dr Snow is a world-renowned PhD Neuropathologist, Inventor (on 350+ issued patents), Entrepreneur and world-expert on brain aging, memory loss, neurodegenerative disorders (Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease) and misfolded protein disorders. He is also one of the world’s leading authorities on brain “tangle formation” as found in Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), and has been researching this area for over 30 years.
Dr. Snow first worked 14 years at the University of Washington (UW) Department of Pathology and was a Project Leader and Part of the Autopsy Team at the UW Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center in Seattle. He then went on to start two different biotechnology companies developing new drugs and nutraceuticals for misfolded protein disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, brain aging and memory loss. He held a major $3.5M LEAPS (Linked Efforts to Accelerate Parkinson’s Solutions) award from the Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Disease research developing small molecule drugs targeting alpha-synuclein accumulation in Lewy bodies.
Dr Snow was the first to discover heparan sulfate proteoglycans in brain amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s Disease, Down’s Syndrome and Prion diseases (publishing major papers with Dr. Prusiner who went on to win the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1997). Dr Snow is an inventor on 350+ issued patents across the world pertaining to new drugs, nutraceuticals and screening technologies and has been at the forefront in deciphering the mechanisms of brain plaque and tangle formation, particularly as it pertains to your brain health.
Dr Snow discusses how he met and is now collaborating on a major research project with Dr Anne McKee of Boston University, who is the neuropathologist whose team implemented many of the autopsies of NFL football players (who caused their own end of life). She discovered that late stage CTE had occurred in most of the cases of athletes who came to autopsy. Dr. Snow discusses his attendance at the CTE conference at Boston University and how he ended up collaborating with Dr McKee and her group to examine how heparan sulfate proteoglycans may contribute as an initiating event to cause tangle formation in CTE following blows to the head.
Dr Snow’s brain health channel is premiered by a new brain health talk show called “The Doctor Snow Brain Health Show” hosted by Scott Alford that weekly covers different topics about brain health, brain aging and brain disease that Dr Snow spent most of his life exploring. Dr Snow brain research was secret for over 30 years and now in his mid 50’s decided to start a YouTube channel studying the brain since he was 20 years old. DrSnowBrainHealth is one of the fastest growing brain health channels on YouTube and on the internet. DrSnowBrainHealth currently has over 590,000 Subscribers!
