Executive summary

Dr. Sanjay Gupta’s recent, well-documented reporting on Alzheimer’s centers on a multi-part CNN documentary “Dr. Sanjay Gupta Reports: The Last Alzheimer’s Patient” (released/aired in 2024 and available on streaming platforms) and related CNN pieces and podcasts that expand on that reporting [1] [2] [3]. Available sources do not list specific standalone episodes or articles by Gupta in 2013, 2015, or 2020 — they focus on his 2024–2025 reporting and related coverage (available sources do not mention 2013/2015/2020 items).

1. What the supplied reporting actually documents — a recent documentary project

The clearest, repeatedly cited item in the provided results is Gupta’s multi-part investigation “Dr. Sanjay Gupta Reports: The Last Alzheimer’s Patient,” which follows Alzheimer’s patients and treatments over five years and argues we are in a more hopeful era for prevention, slowing and possible reversal of symptoms; CNN promoted the documentary as airing July 7, with streaming availability on platforms such as Max, Hulu and Prime Video [1] [2] [4] [5]. CNN press materials and coverage emphasize lifestyle interventions and clinical research featured in the film [2] [1].

2. Related formats: podcast and video explainers tied to that investigation

Gupta expanded on the documentary’s themes in other CNN formats: a CNN podcast episode (“Why There’s More Hope for Alzheimer’s — Chasing Life”) frames the reporting and personal stories he collected about lifestyle changes and outcomes [3]. Shorter CNN video segments and health Q&A pieces with Gupta about Alzheimer’s prevention and new studies also appear in the supplied results [6].

3. What the supplied sources do not show about 2013, 2015, 2020

The search results provided contain no explicit listings, titles, dates, or links for Dr. Gupta’s specific episodes, articles or segments from the years 2013, 2015 or 2020. Therefore, I cannot confirm any specific Gupta pieces from those years based on these sources — “available sources do not mention” Gupta’s 2013, 2015, or 2020 Alzheimer’s pieces (available sources do not mention 2013/2015/2020 items).

4. Why that matters for your query — gaps and next steps

Because the supplied material centers on Gupta’s 2024 documentary and related coverage, any effort to enumerate his earlier individual episodes or articles requires additional searching in archives (CNN archives, print/online byline searches, TV transcript databases) that are not present in these results. If you want, I can search for 2013/2015/2020 items specifically (CNN program archives, LexisNexis, Wayback, or TV transcript services) to identify exact titles and air/publication dates.

5. Themes and framing across the available pieces

Across the documentary, podcast and related CNN material cited here, Gupta’s framing stresses that some risk factors for Alzheimer’s are modifiable and that lifestyle interventions (diet, exercise, cardiovascular health) are a prominent part of the story he tells — a message reinforced by outside groups referencing the program and by Gupta’s own public work on brain-health books and toolkits [2] [3] [7] [8]. The reporting emphasizes hope rooted in recent research and patient follow-up [1] [4].

6. Alternative viewpoints and limitation of the record

The supplied sources present Gupta’s reporting and advocacy for lifestyle approaches, but they do not include critical scientific reviews or counter-analyses of the documentary’s claims within this set of search results; independent expert critiques are not included in the provided material (available sources do not mention critiques within these results). The Lancet Commission and other scientific literature (not fully provided here) are referenced in contextual pieces Gupta cites about preventable risk factors but detailed scientific debate is not present in these snippets [8].

If you want, I will: (A) search specifically for Dr. Sanjay Gupta CNN bylines and TV transcripts for 2013, 2015 and 2020 to find exact episode/article titles and dates; or (B) compile a timeline of his Alzheimer’s-related reporting from 2019–2024 based solely on CNN archives.
