WARNING: I will never ask for your contact info in the comments section, that is someone impersonating me!

Alzheimers battles are turning in our favor with igrotum. Witnessing positive changes in my loved ones mental acuity.

People who love sugar around me, have cancer, Alzheimer’s, fatigue, overweight, anxiety etc. I think sugar is most terrible poison ever.

I was told i had early alzheimer maybe 2 years ago. I stopped drinking immediately. I threw out all my beer and wine. Also chips, candy, cakes, etc, junk food. I walk, garden everyday, thru out the day. Almost no tv, read alot, do puzzles, talk to people,

My wife is in a nursing home with dementia I told our family doctor 5 years before that she had something wrong with her mind but he kept saying no she is fine. It is a shame that we can detect changes but can not convince the doctor that you need help.

My mother rarely ate anything sweet, never smoked, never drank. 😊She cooked her meals every day from scratch, did not even use frozen food, everything was fresh. She was very sociable and had various guests coming most days to her house. She was very thin, very fit and exercised regularly. She started acting differently after my dad's death from cancer. I now assume it was the stress which brought on dementia.

My sister died last June 2022 at the age of 72 from Alzheimer’s. She was diagnosed in2018 and I went to live with her to care for her until I had to put her into care. After 12 months I was mentally and physically exhausted and an emotional basket case. I’m 80 now and dread getting Alzheimer’s. It’s the most cruel disease .

I'm 71 and cut sugar out in my 20s after reading Dr. Atkin's Diet Revolution. My mom developed diabetes and then a few years later diagnosed with Alzheimers. She died at 84. I will give up what I need to remain healthy and active. Thanks for all your info.😊

BEST episode ever!!! Getting these two doctors together raises the bar for this critical subject. Thanks to all three of you!!!

Soda should have a warning label on the side the way tobacco products do.

My sister died July '22 . She had type2 and about 6yrs before she had sepsis which nearly killed her. She was all about cleanliness and took every jab going, the flu jab every year. In the end she had kidney and heart failure. She was 3months less 77 when she died. Seeing what was happening to her I did all I could not to get diabetes. Started to eat better,a lot of walking etc. I lost over 50pounds. I feel and look so much better. I never take any medication but my poor sister reached for the pain killers soon as she got a little headache. I will be 69 in a couple weeks and my doctor is amazed how healthy I am and it's all thanks to my late sister.

The best account of Alzheimer's and its causes I have ever heard. This information should be part of all medical training, but I guess the establishment would rather focus on drugs that slow the progression than the aspect of how Alzheimer's forms and how to avoid it.

Mum battling it since last couple of years and dad been diagnosed last month. Truly heartbreaking 💔😞

I used to work as a research assistant on a locked Alzheimer's unit of a very expensive private nursing home. Although at times, there were sweet and even funny moments, the majority of the time it was like a living hell.

As a nurse in an ALZ ward I might add that women who have had a large amount of children are more likely to get ALZ (5 or more) perhaps it is bc of the stress. These patients are always worried about the children . If we give them a doll to hold they calm down.

Thank you to all three of you I deal with Alzheimer’s everyday in care and this although I can not help the people I look after I can look after myself because this is a very horrible thing that people need to take it seriously 🙏

My mom and her mom and aunts all passed away with Alzheimer's. All the kids in my family are keto or carnivore. Not getting Alzheimer's is my personal WHY I stay away from carbs, exercise and work on my sleep.

Thank u for a thorough look into Alzheimer. And thank u for speaking one at a time. It is very rare !!

I just went on vacation with a friend who kept asking me the same thing over and over again. Things like “what time are we supposed to be at the airport“ I kept telling her she just asked me that 10 minutes ago. Her mother is suffering from dementia. This is a person who drinks lots of alcohol regularly, and refuses to get tested. Plus, of course, she’s angry at me because I told her I am not taking care of her if she gets Alzheimer’s or dementia.

That was amazing to hear him. Talk about chronic body inflammation. Holistic healers in lesser degree medical people have known about it for years and so many doctors have just dismissed it up until now.

20 minutes in conclusion eat homecooked meals with plenty of veg low amounts overall of processed carbs, intermittent fast, exercise, avoid alcohol and processed sugars, get plenty of sleep, manage stress, drink plenty of water to promote cleansing of toxins , and maintain good mouth hygiene because of the impact on gut and brain health.

‘Let food by thy medicine and medicine by thy food” comes to mind.I thank all 3 of you for an excellent and informative discussion. I’m running in the family tradition of a stroke in early 70’s but hoping to avoid the following path of Alzheimer’s/dementia. I would note - all of us have/had a very sweet tooth and drink alcohol although only one of my brothers is obese. None of us smoke. My diet changes from today.

How are we not talking about the huge difference in the occurrence of Alzheimer in women compared to men. Its mind blowing. Women are so much more succeptable to this awful disease and it has a lot to do with menopause etc I'm no fancy doc but I've seen it on both sides of my own family and extended family

I have had 6 friends die from colonoscopies over the years - it is way too easy to puncture the colon during the process and happens all too frequently

Tom is the greatest interviewer of all time. Not even close. He can analyze information and ask such well thought out questions so quickly. Another well done interview. Thanks Tom! You’re the 🐐

that said...this tom bilyeu is great at summarising what is actually going on in a complex lecture

In nursing school, most of us were more afraid of any type of dementia and not cancer or any other affliction or even death!

Remember - Alzheimer's is commonly now called Type 3 Diabetes.

I dislike using or saying "HATE" but having my mama being the first person in our family with Ahlziemiers. Beginning stages, I forgot...I forgot...😔She has always been healthy, ate veggies, fruits. All sudden she has tried switching to eating lots of sweets. He sweet tooth has kicked up, unbelievable. I have heard that it should be called Diabetes 3. I as caregiver am trying my best to stick her to old ways but very hard. 🙏Prayers for all going thru or with a family member. Much Patience...MUCH PATIENCE 🙏😔

I have been doing Keto for 2 years and started carnivore on March 17th 2023. I am feeling absolutely amazing. Joint pains are gone, and I no longer need to go to the chiropractor. Indigestion is gone as well. I started doing press-ups, and in the first week, I did 35 per day, which was 5 more than I usually do. I have steadily increased the number every day and did 70 a few days ago! I can't believe it! What I added was boron, which was suggested by one of the many doctors I follow on KZfaq. That took it to another level. I am 67 years young and will never eat vegetables again. No carbs, absolutely no carbs. I have not put sugar in my coffee or tea for at least 40 years. Another effect of this diet is that the plaque on my teeth has completely gone. After about a week, I could feel it coming off, a very strange sensation. Additionally, I no longer have bleeding gums. I only take thyroxine for my underactive thyroid. I hope to get off of it over the next year on this diet.

My dad died from alzheimer's and so did my his sister😢. It was devastating to go through!

My dad as a pharmacist in 1951 told me sugar is carcinogen thus don't eat. No more than 25 grams of sugar per day !

Exceptional intellects! I studied longevity in the early/mid 90's and the research & wider field at that time was chronically inept & embryonic. The level of knowledge these gents now have access to is exceptional and regrettably the need for that has risen exponentially also. Kudos for sharing such an intriguing, engaging & informative conversation.

my goodness! one of the best health interviews out here or in any platform so far tackling several important main topics. Dementia, Glucose, lifestyle and diet. thank you so much for interviewing this two doctors together. I'll make sure to let my family and friends watch this video.

Just moved my dad in after a fast progression of symtoms in the last 3 weeks. I'm familiar with heart disease but this disease is very low on factual information and what to do thats in the best interest of the patient. I've literally felt like walking through a pitch dark room trying to find the light swith. Just doing our best to stay positive and not make him feel like he is going insane. This has been helpful. Thank you! Sounds like we pretty much invite this disease in by our horrible food consumtion our entire lives. Soda after soda. I'm the soda addict. I dont know how many i drink but I'm always holding one. I'm guessing America is the leading country in dementia disease cases. What are we doing? wow.

As a nurse of 40+ years, I have to say please keep doing research there's an element being missed. I'm not sure what it is but there is definitely not an association between Alzheimer's and diabetes. I'm on a keto diet myself and I think everyone should be and these are great recommendations but we nurses have an ongoing joke that people's mind or body breaks down in the end, not both. Alzheimer patients seem to have perfect bodies, they remain ambulatory and of proper weight and the diabetics bodies have broken down with obesity even though they are mentally astute.

This is sad when people forget where they left their keys and go into panic thinking they might have some form of mental disease. Everyone forgets where they left their keys or their shoes, it's normal.

I wish I would have had this info 5 some years ago. May have been able to help my mom. She made it 2 92, but the last 2 years were brutal.

Don’t interrupt when someone has not finished his explanation

Thank you from the three of you you hv really helped me. My family is dealing with management of Alzhemers

I'm on Day 7 of my carnivore diet. I'm NOT getting dementia. And btw, salt is GOOD for you. I'm no longer afraid of using as much salt as I want. You must educate yourself.

Your topics are empowering! And I'm glad I'm part of the millions viewing this & sharing this video & many others to come!

There's a book written by a certain guy which list the type of food that an individual with an O-Negative blood type, can eat red meat but they need to stay away from other meats like pork, turkey, and other types of meat. Does this notion that people with different blood types can eat certain types of food prove to be true?

WOW so fantastically informative. For someone like me at 65 who is starting to show early cognitive decline especially with short term memory there are many answers here for me. I have been Keto and intermittent fasting for some 12 months now and lost a lot of weight over 100Lb. What i have noticed is stopping statins has realy improved my short term memory. The lies around the benefits of Statins V thew side effects should be highlighted. The effects of autophagy are realy beneficial in the fight back against Cognitive decline. My Uric acid is 9.5 but i show no signs of gout so explains that keto diet and high Ketones are the answer

This is the most reasonable and understandable information given for metabolic diseases. But, what I really want to say here, is thank you so much for this information and diving into the bacterias that are also affiliated to Alzheimer's the p gingavlis. Thank you so much.

Excellent interview & info.! Best motivation to remove sugar & high carbs from one’s diet! 1) Re: Reason why women get Alzheimer’s more than men: Besides estrogen reduction upon menapause, could other factors re: Environmental & toxin factors be: If women are more Emotional beings, might the “stresses in the world” have a greater effect on their brains? Also: how often have some women felt more physically at risk & more vulnerable than men in their lives? 2) Could Botox; chemicals in facial treatments & makeup; hair color, nail polish, etc. be a hazard to the brain? 3) It would also be interesting to know statistics of: men who fought in combat in a war zone, or were involved in the Penal system. vs. other men. Also: Comparison of women in stable, good & safe marriages vs. single women or those who suffered from domestic violence etc. etc. Bottom line: Besides needing to live using less chemicals/ products, do women & children definitely need to “feel Safe & Protected” by Men for very good reasons. Might we all NEED to do some form of Meditation to reduce stress caused by our environment. Note: Wasn’t a study once done on nuns who lived in a convent finding that although their brains looked like they should have symptoms of dementia, Alzheimer’s they showed no symptoms of it. Could prayer ( which can be a form of meditation)Faith, Hope & Community spirit, a Safe Environment or having an established routine also be important? Ex. Getting Back to Living a More Basic, Simple, chemical free life in Peace.

51:00 mins in Tom is like myself with having a passion for keto and nutrition. I’m 6 years in the study. For those of you listening, it may be like a foreign language with diff terms, just keep going and eventually you’ll get it better. We could have a live question and answer with this subject and these experts. Thanks Tom and guests for sharing. I’ve learned more. ❤

One guy wearing a G monitor noticed that blueberries REDUCED sugar in the blood. Frozen bread and pasta doesn’t spike your glucose. It’s really about natural unprocessed foods…

I wish I could sit and talk to these guys I would never leave.❤ so interesting.

Great job! I just found out I have one APOe4 variant. This discussion has encouraged me to eat better! I'm 70 and hope to avoid Alzheimer's.

My friend Alzheimer's with onset age 49. She is 60 now in hospice. None of the risks he outlined. No one in her family had dementia. All four grandparents lived into their nineties. Perfect bloodwork and health. She doesn't even have a gray hair. She lost her teenaged son and within weeks could not add two numbers. My relative had dementia onset mid 70s. Also no history of dementia in family. Most members lived to between 70 and 90. Has none of the risk factors he outlined. Slim. Perfect bloodwork and the crp and insulin etc were all done yearly for the past 15 years. No diabetes and not even high cholesterol. I'm glad he has some sort sucess stories but to say it's mostly avoidable I believe is a giant stretch.

Amazingly helpful information!!! Thank you so much for having Dale and Richard on to explain all their current info!

This is such crucial and actionable presentation… esp for me, with my health issues. Thank you!

Dear Docs and Tom, thank you so much for all the value you delivered with this episode and with your everyday efforts. It was both interesting and educational 🙏🏻

I herd a mushroom lecture that herpes virus were found in almost every single Alzheimer’s patients. It was talking about ingesting certain mushrooms to take away these toxins, really fascinating.

Thank you so much for this conversation! This helped me understand gout for the first time. This explained many personal health experiences that previously I completely didn't understand. Thank you Dale, Richard, and Tom!

Brilliant conversation - been following these two great men for a while. Thank you for this truly valuable dialogue.

An amazing interview Tom; my beloved Uncle just died of this debilitating disease.

I have been diagnosed with Infarct Dementia. I am eighty-five years old and have accepted I will develop a terminal disease as I grow older. Why is it, then, when people reach the age of over eighty, they are not given the choice of euthanasia? Indeed, people must know that those with this disease, within any decent law, have the right as they grow older to have the option of euthanasia instead of making their family carer suffer the prolonged loss of their loved one, usually their husband or wife. Or are there mercenary doctors and politicians cashing in on this terminal disease. John Eric Hoare. Australian, British, and Norwegian deep seaman retired. 1 Reply

My Moms blood work came back ok with everything except, white blood cells are low and uric acid is high. She has Demrntia. No diabetes. No signs of stroke, Blood Pressure perfect. We reduced sugar and gluten and i see improvement. Also first meal is around 11Am and she does not eat after 7pm. She is 78.

At 1:02:45 the state of flow is being described. Also, this interview is like a revelation of all the secrets of the universe. I can't contain my excitement. It's 12 am. I'm learning so much it's bonkers. Additionally, I finally understand why I have such a monster appetite - I have leptin resistance. My whole life, I've been on a carb heavy diet.

Truly informative and interesting episode! Wonderful guests! Thank you.

This video deserves way more views. The content is top-notch, and I appreciate the effort put into making it engaging. Sharing this with my friends!

Wow, was this good!! Excellent guests! Thank you, everyone❤

Amazing episode , helpful and hopeful, thank you 🙏🏻🌷✨🙏🏻

Just watched today, as a 61 year old female with higher uric acid levels (and yes would take any gene therapy/liver thing if ever developed if it stopped dementia down the line!). And high fat levels which does not shift, managed by eliminating fructose/glucose (mostly!) rather (my choice) than taking the meds, as Perlmutter suggests, in Acid Drop. Another piece of the jig saw, especially on the post menopausal female angle. This illness frightens the living daylights, as someone who still works with this client group on a daily basis. Thank you, for me, this is important information.

Very recently, Dr Lustig pinpointed Fructose as the key ingredient associated with Alzheimers in conjunction with metabolic syndrome etc

Extremely informative postcast. One of the best 2023 Thank you

Warning signs- mental decline, difficulty thinking confusion, understanding,inability to create new memories

Simply amazing the video and the conversation with Dr Dale and Dr Richard. Thanks for the incredible content.

It is scary that some of these symptoms seriously also sound like my son with severe autism. The foraging especially. It has given me things to think about.

I will watch this over and over again. So much useful information.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🧠 *Alzheimer's Disease Overview* - Alzheimer's is a significant health concern, with more deaths expected than COVID-19. - A recent trial showed an 84% improvement in cognitive decline through a specific protocol. - The protocol not only improves cognitive testing but also shows positive MRI results. 02:24 🚨 *Early Signs of Alzheimer's* - The older generation is most at risk, but Alzheimer's is becoming preventable. - A "cognoscopy" at age 40-45 is recommended to assess Alzheimer's risk. - The cognoscopy includes blood tests, cognitive assessments, and MRI with volumetrics. 10:02 🩸 *Metabolic, Inflammatory, and Energy Factors* - Alzheimer's is linked to three main factors: metabolic changes, inflammation, and energy issues. - Metabolic factors include insulin resistance, high glucose, and high-carb diets. - Inflammation markers like high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) are crucial in assessment. - Energy deficits, both ATP production and utilization, play a role in Alzheimer's. 20:13 🍔 *Diet and Metabolic Flexibility* - A high-fat, moderate-protein, low-carb diet can improve metabolic flexibility. - Ketone production and utilization are vital for brain health. - Transitioning to a ketogenic diet helped alleviate wrist pain and improved overall health. 21:45 🧪 *Uric Acid and Ketogenic Diet* - Uric acid levels can rise on a ketogenic diet due to high protein and ketones blocking uric acid excretion. - High uric acid can lead to inflammation and gout, but ketones on a low-carb diet can suppress gout symptoms. - Ketogenic diets can still raise uric acid levels, which may pose a risk, but ketones' anti-inflammatory properties may offset this effect. 25:41 🥩 *Plant-Rich Ketogenic Diet vs. Pure Meat Diet* - A plant-rich ketogenic diet with appropriate fasting periods is recommended for brain health, compared to a pure meat diet. - While a carnivorous diet may work for some with high inflammation, it can increase heart disease and stroke risk, especially for those with certain genetic factors like apoe4. - The importance of phytonutrients, polyphenols, and fiber in a balanced diet, even on a low-carb plan, for overall health. 38:09 🧬 *Apoe4 Gene and Evolutionary Changes* - The apoe4 gene has evolved over time, and its role has changed in modern humans due to various factors like diet, lifestyle, and exposure to toxins. - Apoe4 increases inflammation and heart disease risk, and the impact varies based on an individual's metabolic and vascular health. - Understanding one's apoe status and conducting health assessments, such as vascular scans, can provide valuable insights for personalized health choices. 41:08 ⚖️ *The Switch and Metabolic Changes* - The "switch" refers to a biological shift where animals suddenly gain weight, become insulin resistant, and exhibit metabolic syndrome features. - Normally, animals regulate their weight, but this change can occur, notably before hibernation or migration. - Identifying triggers for this switch is crucial to understand the factors contributing to metabolic changes and potential health consequences. 42:58 🍏 *Fructose and its role in weight regulation* - Fat is a natural energy store in animals. - Fructose triggers a switch from regulating weight to gaining weight. - Major trigger for this switch is fructose, a sugar found in fruit, honey, table sugar, and high fructose corn syrup. 46:12 🥩 *Is red meat okay for you on a low-carb diet?* - Red meat is associated with Alzheimer's in some studies. - On a carnivore diet, it may not be the red meat but rather the fructose causing the problem. - Red meat can raise uric acid, which may not convert glucose to fructose effectively in a low-carb diet. 51:11 🍇 *The yearly cycle of fructose and foraging* - Consuming excessive fruit with fructose can activate a survival mechanism in bears. - Fructose stimulates hunger, foraging, food intake, and blocks satiety. - Foraging requires specific behaviors, including exploratory behavior, impulsivity, and short attention spans. 56:24 🧠 *The role of insulin resistance in the brain* - Fructose causes insulin resistance in the brain. - Insulin resistance in the brain is associated with inflammation, mitochondrial suppression, and low ATP levels. - Insulin resistance in the muscle leads to lower energy expenditure and glucose levels rise, saving energy for foraging. 01:04:44 🔄 *The switch analogy: Evolutionary advantage vs. chronic activation* - Evolutionarily, insulin resistance and fructose-driven behaviors were advantageous for surviving seasonal cycles of food availability. - When this switch is chronically activated, it can lead to Alzheimer's-like symptoms, such as wandering behavior, analogous to chronic stress's negative effects. 01:05:39 🧠 *Alzheimer's Disease and Innate Immune System* - Alzheimer's is the result of the innate immune system responding to insults. - The innate immune system is active in endothelial cells, tissue macrophages, and bone marrow. - Various factors like diet and stress can hyperactivate the innate immune system. 01:07:03 🦠 *Role of Amyloid in Response to Insults* - Amyloid, often associated with Alzheimer's, is produced by the body in response to insults. - Amyloid has antibacterial, antiparasitic, and antiviral properties. - The surprise is that the innate immune system and amyloid production come with downsizing the brain's network. 01:08:23 🧬 *Factors Leading to Alzheimer's and Fructose's Role* - Alzheimer's may result from various factors, including infections, toxins, and genetics. - Fructose plays a crucial role and may be a dominant factor. - Fructose can activate a survival pathway under stressful conditions. 01:16:13 🩸 *Biomarkers and Personalized Alzheimer's Protocols* - Identifying Alzheimer's drivers through biomarkers like phosphotal-181 and neurofilament light. - Alzheimer's has different subtypes related to inflammation, atrophy, glycotoxicity, toxins, and concussions. - Personalized protocols involve addressing inflammation, pathogens, gut health, and achieving metabolic flexibility. 01:26:32 🩸 *Blood Clotting and Reprogramming Cells* - Reprogramming cells to be more thrombotic. - Treating and preventing microthrombi. - Using supplements like nattokinase and pycnogenol for blood vessel health. 01:28:34 💧 *Water, Salt, and Fructose* - The impact of fructose on metabolic flexibility. - Recommendations for reducing fructose intake. - The relationship between water, salt, and serum sodium levels. 01:36:13 👩‍⚕️ *Hormones and Alzheimer's* - The role of hormones, especially estrogen, in Alzheimer's. - Effects of menopause on Alzheimer's risk. - The significance of uric acid levels, especially in women post-menopause. 01:47:56 🧬 *Evolutionary Origins of Uric Acid Mutation* - European apes faced food scarcity due to global cooling. - Enamel hypoplasia in ape teeth indicates periods of food scarcity. - Mutation causing increased uric acid production may have helped survival. 01:50:24 🐁 *Lab Experiment on Uricase Inhibition* - Inhibiting uricase in lab rats made them more sensitive to sugar. - Uricase inhibition led to higher blood pressure and fatty liver. - Resurrected gene showed reduced fat production in human liver cells. 01:52:51 🧪 *Potential Side Effects of Uricase Inhibition* - Some people naturally lack uricase without significant health issues. - Inhibiting uricase may lead to longevity in a modern context. - Potential side effects in a famine scenario need further study. 01:55:24 🧠 *Implications for Alzheimer's Research* - Early detection of Alzheimer's is crucial for effective interventions. - Understanding the role of fructose and uric acid in Alzheimer's. - Consideration of fructose metabolism as a target for treatments.

Wow this discussion is awesome, thanks ❤

Fabulous content. I'm an RN teaching family caregivers about the dementia experience. Really value the in depth conversation

You are saying rice,bread,all are in your list as bad as they raise blood sugar. Then what you eat ? I guess grass.

Excellent! Simply excellent! So much good information. Thank you.

I did a search for symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease because I really think she has it now. She deffinitely has the early signs of short-term memory loss and very confrontational; right now she hides the silverware and then ask me if I sold or gave them away. If I try to say something she blows up. Before she get too fired up I just leave the house and go take a walk or go to my dad's house for awhile. She doesn't have a regular physician and it's hard to talk her into getting one as well....little frustrated 😟😩

Very educational and empowering. Thank you!

Being sedentary and lack adequate sleep is the worst thing for your health (aside drug and alcohol abuse)

Thank you for this eye-opening information. Hence, staying in South Africa, we are not able to get this kind of help. I can use and do my part with what is available to me.

My doctor has just recently told me that Doctors are now beginning to take Inflammation seriously plus I have an Immune system issue> off> and on. But I make sure I take a lot of Lemons antioxidants. Use lots lemons in my daily consumption of water and lemons 6 a day. Cleans our blood, Kidneys. I never get colds, flue, sore throats for years!!! Fingers crossed. 😅 I've kept this video to show my doctor as I am taking care now of my friend who has Alzheimer's and dementia. He took alot of sugar, drinks, alcohol. Loneliness doesn't help. 😢 But I'm here now for him as his carer giver. Thank you so so much im very happy I came across you all.

Very informative..thanx to all of u❤️

I get acid reflux and bloating/gas when I eat vegetables which plagued me for 15 years til I tried eating more meat. I only eat less vegetables because doing so made me rid joint pain, stomach problems as well. The plus is my junk food craving dropped dramatically! Perhaps there's several ways to prevent alzheimer and eating veg mostly or eating meat mostly can do it. Process carbs and sugar is what I try to stay away from. My mom eats vegetables and very little meat..very little..and mostly fish if she does and has vascular dementia by early 80s ( and she walks alot )

breathtaking release after a long time. thanks dude!

Interesting video, but for me it doesn’t rise any alarms to my current situation. I’m a rather healthy 76 yo male (180 cm, 68 kg), no diabetes or dementia on my father’s or mother’s sides. Of course I sometimes forget where my glasses are, but I can still solve differential equations. I also play the violin, which I think is excellent brain training. Because of my slightly high blood pressure (sys 150) I did some changes in my diet ( less sugar and salt and more vegetables, I love broccoli). Keto diet just seems weird to me, I think I need more carbs. I also increased my physical activities (brisk walking 5 - 8 km 3 times weekly). Sys is now mostly below 135. Unfortunately a have a few friends at my age that are rapidly cognitively declining. One close male friend (80 yo) can no longer pay his bills via internet and has problems with his iPhone. I know his diet is completely wrong, for lunch he only has coffee and cakes, never eats vegetables, to much alcohol and he also smokes.

Everyone needs to hear this episode.

My dad passed at 77 of Vascular dementia, he had high blood pressure only, in good shape, diet very varied real food. My mom ate the same together 49 yrs, she is sharp as a tac at 82 no issues. Dads sisters 3 had Alzheimer’s later in life late 80s. The gene has got to increase ur chances. I have 50% chance now of it. 😂 Dad& Mom no drinking no smoking ever. Ate only dinner mostly. Mom had 7 kids, period till 56yrs old too.

This was an incredibly informative video. Thank you for helping to get this information out to the general public. As someone who is EXTREMELY insulin resistant and trying to reverse this through dietary changes, I am greatly incentivized to work even more diligently towards my goals. I am working to reverse my type2 diabetes. Thank you so much.

Amazing Discussion! Thank you!

Excellent info, thanks 4 sharing!!!!

Keto is the way! 5 yrs and counting.

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects the brain, leading to memory loss, cognitive decline, and changes in behavior. It is the most common cause of dementia, a general term for a decline in cognitive ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. The exact cause of Alzheimer's disease is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. In Alzheimer's, abnormal protein deposits called plaques (made of beta-amyloid) and tangles (made of tau protein) accumulate in the brain, leading to the death of nerve cells and the disruption of brain communication.

I tried to cut a short clip to share and am unable. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks its the sugar industry, but upon contemplation, this information should be consumed as a whole. (Pun intended) to understand the balancing process of our bodies. I've been doing intermittent fasting, lower carb and low salt and sugar.(53 yr old female post menopausal) I've lost 80 lbs without effort and feel and look better than in my 30's. I've had to occasionally feast to keep my body prepared for changes and keep my cellular structure on its toes. It took a mental shift to go into a physical body shift.

Eye opening. Thank you.

My favorite guests ever!

In a nursing home they took people off gabapentin and or antidepressants and they got back their brain back. They did not have dementia after all. Be careful withdrawal symptoms from gabapentin and antidepressants can be severe.

Thankyou for your awareness on the topic

Thankful for the detailed informative analysis. I’ve been riding this chaotic rollercoaster of triglycerides, and glycation overload.

Thank you for this info
