Hi. It was an excellent video you presented. I wanted to ask if you have a link to the study she mentioned re heart researcher.... 50 year olds doing the maximum exercises for 2 yrs. Can you please provide me with a link to that. thanks
Thanks doc. I’ve started questioning everything, especially government health advice! After reading "Health and Beauty Mastery", I completely changed my approach. This book reveals so many shocking truths about the health industry!
3 Factors Inactivity Lack of sleep Lack of nutrition First sign of dementia: Loss of episodic memory (Not remembering what you did that day) Things that help. Sleep Wind down and have regular bedtime. Exercise (Grow neurons in cortex and strengthens neuro connections) Aerobic Resistance Neurocognitive brain training aerobic exercise. 9:30
I'm definitely screwed then. I can't sleep, can't exercise due to my heart issues, can't eat well due to my stomach issues and plus I've been on a benzo since age 22 and am now 64. 😢
I took care of my mom who had dementia. I felt like I was dying right along with her. Truly heartbreaking….I will never be the same. Thank you for this podcast!
Same. I feel your pain and your fear. A very heartbreaking and life changing journey. I have gained from that is more awareness, to set myself up the best I can to prevent and to be financially able to withstand what ever I may get as I age. I gained more empathy, patience, determination, compassion, creativity and the capacity to endure and withstand loss. I have to focus on the gifts it gave or I will keep dying even though she is gone. I miss her everyday and it was the hardest thing to watch and experience. May the Lord bless you and carry you as you carry on. ❤
I took care of my gramma many years ago and while at the time it was challenging much of the time, my memories now-25 years after her passing are how grateful I am that I got to be there for her, and spending that time with her.
But purslane is the highest source of Omega 3 & can make a great salad. Even my grandchildren love it! But creatine is horrible!!!! I made my son stop that shit because I could not afford to keep having all the holes he put in my doors & walls fixed while on that crap! It clearly was dropping his blood sugar!
I kinda know what you mean. I took care of my dad, and I believe I'd I knew now what I know now I think I could have helped him prevent or prolonged his determination with all that is available. However we won't know if these findings are really because they can't exhume bodies to see how many had the disease . Do a autopsy to see what disease is metabolic disease or anything else they had to remember these researchers are not sure and it's going to take another 30 yrs ... ⁰
One thing I do know is that Stress plays a Huge role in getting various diseases, especially GI illnesses, kidney and liver and diabetes and osteoarthritis, over the years as we age. I am almost 78 and and had a very physically active childhood. I was a good swimmer, I ice skated, and danced (folk dancing), played piano and was always singing in choral groups since I was 4 or 5. I still sing in my church choir and play my piano virtually everyday. When I was in my 20s, I would ride my bike and ride miles, and I also learned to downhill ski and did so. At least 1 or more times per week in winter, I would rent a house with others, go skiing, and take hikes. I also bowled and regularly took long walks, at least 5 to 10 miles or more. I also read lots of books on my own and in school where I always had papers to write. I wasn‘t that good at math, but learned what I had to do to graduate. All throughout school, and college, I had to take physical education at least 2 to 3 days every week. As for walking, I only do so now when shopping, church, and a lot, daily, at my apartment building, for hours with a couple of breaks. I have a pet cat and play with her quite a bit. I have a difficult time walking because of moderate osteoarthritis and use a walker, but still enjoy walking as I can. I also am a lifetime learner and love to read and study such as physics, chemistry, biology, archeology, sociology, psychology, etc. I feel that learning, watching movies and podcasts, and helping others as I can, also helps keeping your brain quality with more neural activity growing. My dad had Alzheimer‘s and lived to age 85. My mother, severely narcissistic and abusive to me, made it to 94. I never had kids when I was married or siblings. I have pets which help give me the unconditional love that I need.
Thank you so much for this video! I took care of my mother who had early onset Alzheimer’s. I always believed it was preventable. She had a hysterectomy which triggered so many things which cascaded and compounded turning into Alzheimer’s. It cost $10,000 a month out of pocket to care for her initially. Later we moved her and the cost went down to $6,000 a month out of pocket. It took the resources of my entire family to care for her. I searched and searched for information like this for two decades. There were no podcasts, no UA-cam back then, no readily available information on the subject. The more I learn the more I know my mother’s Alzheimer’s was preventable if only I had this type of information back then, 30 years ago. This video can and will save lives. Thank you 🙏 ❤
I grew up in 60s/70s. We had active recesses in school (elementary) and junior high/high school we had very hard Physical Education classes! THEN I had to walk home from school - 12 blocks! So where I grew up, I got exercise. I’m 70, I do all our yardwork. I see older woman cleaning flowerbeds. That’s good but I’m mowing (not riding mower) Weedeating, edging, watering. Yes, I rest every 20 minutes. But I have been doing yardwork for 50 years. My husband is appreciative in my skills and he will help me if he’s not busy with his job. I get a lot of stares and feel everyone is thinking “poor old lady”! No need to worry, yardwork is good for me IF it’s not too hot! My Mom had slow onset Alzheimer’s. Lived to 90. It was a nightmare. I pray I don’t get it.
I am 71 this year and I look 20 years younger than my age Into Keto , IF , weight training & HIIT… and the 4 pillars of optimum metabolic health I subscribe to the things discussed in this podcast Keep up the good work 👏 Best regards from S’pore
Excellent information! I am 70 this year and this has helped me get back to the resistance training like I did in my 40s 50s and early 60s! Thanks so very much!❤
I’m 84, road and raced bicycles from age 44 thru 81 and won 5 national championships. Now just social riding with friends for about 120 miles a week. I don’t eat 1:23:11 mammal meat and eat plenty plant based food. Had a one stent operation at age seventy raced in three races 10 days after operation. Now have my lipid under control. So far I’ve out lived the oldest in my family by 8 years. Feel and look , in my opinion and others 20 years younger. Now with her advice hopefully making it to 100.
3215burns1: all that exercise and you still needed a heart procedure! Perhaps more proof that your stated plant based habits are a significant contributor to heart disease. I suggest you start eating those mammals you have avoided, get off the plant based diet lie that has been well documented as a lie by doctors on YT and have an even healthier life with no heart procedures. I assume your statement about lipids being under control means low cholesterol which is another lie I along with most everyone else believed for 40 years.
Just finished watching on tv UA-cam. Excellent guest and so helpful. 80 years age, swim minimum 4 hours a week and just ordered some resistance bands and will work at senior level. Great program. Thanks so much from Canada.
I really admire you Louisa. You are a young woman of tremendous integrity. Your awareness about how big pharma operates to make us unwell for profit is outstanding as well as your incredible knowledge on the factors causing Alzheimer’s and how we can prevent it
I am very impressed with her clarity. She is SO CLEAR and easy to understand. I recently saw another doctor in an interviewed elsewhere on YT that was dense and confusing with many tangents. She had a book to sell. This doctor was different. She wanted us to understand. She also had no book or product line to sell that I saw. That is important because when there is something to sell, the pushers tend to want you confused and scared.
Yep most docs on yt unfortunately want to sell you something. And the “info” they share is in service to that primary objective. So the facts they share are not necessarily wrong, but they are often incomplete, tangential, and they don’t give a care if you get value out of the video or not. Only that you take the bait of clicking the video itself and sticking around long enough to hear their pitch.
I'm age 73 years. I have of recent experience brain pain and sleepless night. This video has afforded lots of opportunities to learn new things. I want to continue having added guardianship from your future video. Norris G David
Very interesting, but of course it's all diet and exercise. I am about to turn 80 and never been sick a day in my life. Have not had a macdonalds hamburger, coke or any rubbish in 60yrs. Worked in construction my whole life and still love designing and building my houses, i'll never retire, and of course the forbidden subjects here in US, I am still very sexually active and laughing a lot.I feel its just as important about what you DON'T put in your body that helps.
Amen! Loved your testimony of good health. I feel the same. Diet and exercise #1. Even with my back troubles, and feet neuropathy, I move a lot and hike 30 miles a week minimum. My wife and I backpack and of course, it’s advised for me not to with my back and feet but I ignore it. The best thing for me is to keep moving -not sitting too much. I am always creating something whether it’s music, building a structure, playing guitar, or writing for three hours a day and reading, too-the key to good health for me is little tv watching and if so, it’s mostly educational stuff. Maybe an occasional movie but I am very picky. My wife and I love to be active with our lab and being in the outdoors is our favorite thing to do. Our vacations are planned around hiking. The sex in the bedroom is still 👍👍. Thanks for sharing your story. Cheers to living and maybe to 120 years, God willing
What type of job did you do in construction? how about all those chemicals? Asbestos fibers? silica? because construction is a dangerous job, when it comes dealing with different types of dusts and chemicals.
I have eaten Maccy D’s just once in my 76 years ! I have always eaten nutritious low carb food ( before low carb became a thing) ! Gave up sugar 20 years ago ( always preferred savoury to sweet ) ! gave up alcohol 5 years ago . Spent 12 years clean keto ,then past 30 months on ketovore/carnivore !! I Keep an allotment and therefore do a vast amount of digging ! I keep a dog and therefore do a vast amount of walking ! Recently purchased a dumb bell stack 1.5k,3k, 5k . Work my weights every morning (mainly 3k’s but small amount with 5’s )What with housework/gardening etc, I think i get plenty exercise !! I Do not eat for energy per se , I do not eat for fun/entertainment/boredom…….. I EAT REAL FOOD,I EAT FOR NUTRITION !!!
Yes, my mom is 97, always healthy eater and active until heart problems and a few falls. Healthy life leads to a slooowwww decline, maybe long suffering for the person and family. Now I, alone, am dealing with my parents alzheimers. No other family members are living. This is a horrible fate, since this healthy person is falling apart slowly, and will be over 100 until this life ends. I am a slave to her Ling healthy life. People, just live your best life, and die early.
@@lah1743 So sorry you are facing this and alone too. I look into my dad's eyes. He is no longer there and I won't insult the real him or offend my true memories of him by pretending what remains is. I am indirectly (now) protecting and supporting a sliver of what was once my dad. Worse, there are pieces they are NOT and NEVER were my beloved dad there now. The elders like my mom were raised differently and at 93 is still going strong. They I can understand, going for extreme old age makes sense because they remain functioning and mobile. My generation not so much. We has been poisoned by our environment. Think about all the radioactive particles and micro plastics. Chemicals and toxins. Cancer has spread and increased in the population. People my age may not be dropping dead but instead are manifesting ailments at an earlier age ensuring a miserable existence and horrible pain and nausea filled end.
Fifty years ago, as a supremely fit athlete in collegiate heavyweight wrestling, I had a resting BPM of 43, sometimes 39 when I measure just after I woke. I wrestled at 235 pounds at less than 5.0% bodyfat (Water tank test) I bench pressed 450 pounds, leg pressed over 1,100 and sometimes finished the 10 mile off-season run in under an hour. (That is 10 consecutive sub-six minute miles.) I was very fit until I ripped a hip at 43 years old slipping on the ice and doing the splits. I have put on sixty pounds and at 70 years old still have a great heart, lungs, kidney and liver. The doctor tells me that I am just a healthy fat child. He also states that everyone should have my bloodwork. The VA did a heart workup, because I weigh close to 300 pounds. The cardiologist came in laughing as told me that I am as healthy as a horse, pump a ton of blood with each beat, and that I am good for another 100,000 miles. I still bench press over 300 pounds. I am afraid to push more than that amount for fear of ripping a muscle at my age. I believe that the foundation of superb conditioning has a lasting effect on me. - The retired redneck accountant
It´s hard to get a natural rythm in Iceland - going to sleep when the sun goes down, and waking up when it rises, where there is light 24/7 in June ... and it´s dark almost 24/7 in December
I walk twice a day, everyday with my 2 dogs. In my 70’s I still work as a musician, still work every week. I am having short term memory problems. Driving and navigation in a huge city is fine, (never close to lost) and I learn new things constantly. My arthritis in my hips is so bad jogging is out of the question. Critical thinking is fine and I still teach which I enjoy enormously. When I talk to my older friends everybody says the same thing….”Oh, you too?” So, is the short term problem just part of the aging process? How “normal” is this? Just subbed. Thanks
My mom is in the end stage of Alzheimer’s. She was very active, ate a healthy diet, and was always very slim. Her sister also has some form of dementia. This disease is terrible.
Sorry for your loss. I know plenty of adults that exercised & ate healthy for years and still got Alzheimer’s. There is a Doctor / scientist that mapped the global evolution of this disease alongside the growth of industrialized cities (increase in pollution, introduction of toxic pesticides in food, chemicals in our water), & there is an alarming correlation. He studies how all these toxins are contributing to the onset & advancement of this disease worldwide. It is catastrophic.
My mother was the same way--walked everyday, never had an oz. of fat on her, never liked sweets, etc. She developed Alzheimer's and died of it at age 86, anyway.
I have stage 3 kidney disease, 2 Apoe4 genes and chronic pain from spinal stenosis. My older sister has Alzheimer’s. I really don’t want Alzheimer’s. Some days my pain is so severe I don’t want to live to my 80’s as I have been in pain since 2010! I’m 73 years old! And yet, I keep trying to find a way to avoid Alzheimer’s!
Try to eat a meat only diet. It really helps pain. Just give it a try. Listen to the doctors on UA-cam about it. It's called the carnivore diet. Dr. Berry is a great resource. I wish you the best!
Many people all over the world all the way through history never ate fish as they lived far from the sea. Only today fish can be refrigerated and transported everywhere. I come from Iran. Until I was 20 years old very little fish was ever consumed in our diet, as we lived far from the sea. None of older people I knew developed any form of cognitive decline. My grandmother lived to the age of 96 with very sharp cognitive functions including memory. Also Omega 3 has many vegetarian sources and in my opinion telling people that they should all eat fish for their brain functioning is incorrect. The industrial fishing is the most horrific and the most cruel industry in the world and besides I live in the tropics in southern India now and often fish can be contaminated here because of the polution on the ocean and the harsh hot climate here, so there are many reasons why even if taking Omega 3 is so important, one could consider vegetarian sources. Here are the list of vegetarian sources of Omega 3 copied from the web: "Are omega-3s found in plant foods? Omega-3 fatty acids are readily available in a wide variety of plant foods. Sources include walnuts, flaxseed, chia seeds, hemp seeds, edamame, seaweed, and algae. Other green leafy vegetables and beans also contain small amounts."
I think the big concern is the ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6. The American diet of junk food and toxic seed oils contain more Omega-6 than our ancestors could imagine so the ratio is off. Another concern about plant sources is that our agricultural soils are so depleted of nutrients that plant sources may be lacking. Iodine is another important element we need for thyroid health but it's present mostly in seafood, which eat the iodine-rich algae. Our soil is depleted of Iodine so those who live inland should consider a supplement like Lugol's Iodine.
I agree about much of what you wrote but plant omegas can't be converted to the active form that we use. We don't need much omegas though. Dr Paul Saladino only eat ruminant meat (grass fed) for example and his numbers were still great when he checked his blood. Plant omegas are useless. Some of us MIGHT convert a few percent but most of us can't.
@@standforhumanitariancauses4756 Iran is big. The older people had no cars back in the days and lived rural in the same place often. In hot weather it was not simple to transport fish either in more far away places. They did not have much money either. They lived often from their own sheep, chickens... I was there between 1973-1979 with my parents as truckdrivers.
Grateful for coming across this very insightful podcast. Louisa Nocola sure makes it so easy for one to take care of one's health. Yes, and especially, here mental health, as well as the physical. Cases of Alzheimers disease has increased over the years. But it is so good to hear that Alzheimers disease is not part of the natural aging. 🙏
I haven’t even completely finished listening to this discussion and all I can say is thank you! This is so informative, so full of great advice and gives people hope! What a terrific guest and thank you for your great questions! Now back to this fantastic pod cast! ❤
OMG! I signed up to get tested for a study. I qualified for the study because I have the biomarker for Alzheimer's. I'm 75, and I wanted to know because 65% of my mom's family died with Alzheimer's, including my mom. I requested the protocol for the study and shared it with my doctor and my brother, who is also a physician. As I read the information, it prominently stated possible brain bleeds. It was a double-blind study; however, I didn't want the risk. I rejected participation, and both my consults did as well. Now, I seek the kind of information that you provide. Thank you so much!
I've heard another neurologist confirming the genetic cause is very small, but he said the largest cause are external factor, pollutants and other chemicals like pesticides. He said the air in the cities is already highly compromised.
Louisa Nicola (Mark 13:20) generalized statement that gardening is not physical exercise doesn't apply to everybody that does gardening. I have to reach high branches holding a heavy chain saw to prune them, carry the branches across a hilly backyard, i I have to dig with a shovel and a pick a hard clay soil to uproot plants, transplant them, move heavy pots, rake leaves, pick up fruit that is high on the trees, etc. Believe me, I have developed more strength and muscles that I did swimmig, and going to the gym. I grew up in a small town and could observe the people that were not physically active and the ones that were not: The ladies that were, overweight, sedentary,(sat in front of their porch every day for hours) with a very calm demeanor, quiet, not saying much, lived to 100 or more. The very active ones, including the sisters of these women that were go getters and talked a lot, physically active died 15 years or more younger than them. I think the attitude and personality of the person seems to have a protective action, even more than physical activity.
I suspect that she is referring to the brain benefits of aerobic (cardiovascular) exercise bringing oxygen to the brain. While strength based and stretching exercise which gardening of this style you mentioned will entail, it is unlikely that it will entail sufficient aerobic exercise. Research shows that a minimum of 15 mins of uninterrupted exercise, 3 days a week that raised the heart rate sufficiently will result in the brain and body benefit. Actually, that is an old statistic (20 years old). I think later research shows that it needs to be 20 minutes 5 days a week.
@ruger6049I'm "only" 73 and ruined my hip with too much aerobic exercise when I was about 45-50. I loved it and it made me feel great...until it didn't and I had to stop. My exercise now is pushing a lawnmower and hauling shrubbery limbs to the curb and other gardening.
So sorry for your loss. I know plenty of adults who have exercised for years and still got Alzheimer’s…. I’m sure exercise & diet help, but something else is also happening….. Another expert believes it is environmental toxins & pollution - he mapped the global evolution of this disease alongside the industrialization of cities, increased use of pesticide in food, chemicals in water, etc. and there is a strong correlation. Another professional points to side effects from medications…..
@pw323 My wife has alzheimers. I think her mom might have had it also, but her father covered it as much as possible. I have been married for 45 years. We walk alot and eat the same. I don't have any signs. And no one on my side had any. My mother died at 93 and was sharp as a tack.
Thank You to you both, Dhru and Louisa Nicola. Excellent information that you generously shared with us in this interview. Lots to reflect on for our health and wellbeing.
Great helpful information. I feel motivated to implement all these activities to improve my life. I just turned 70 and don’t want to slide downhill, partly to avoid burdening my loved ones. Thanks!
Phenomenal interview from start to finish! Thank you again Dhru for asking the important questions and reiterating critical points throughout. Louisa is a lovely person with so much knowledge ... offering very practical actions everyone can do to keep their brain healthy.
As you mentioned Betty, I had a father who was so smart and intelectual person, but got Parkinsons and dementia, I can recomend everone to take gooood care of their brains. You do not want your children to look and you and answer that question : you do not want them to hear from you : who are you? I had that from my father, his extraordinary brain didn t know himself anymore. And worse: one day he said happilly: I know who you are!!! You are a director and you are making a movie here!!! My heart went up in hope and fell all the way down till the end of the sentence! It was 20 years ago and we were so uninormed!!! Now there is so much information. Do not let it happen to you for the sake of the ones
Ive been watching as many podcasts as i can on alzheimers as my mom died last year of it. Horrible disease. Thank you for all this knowledge. I will be implementing these in my life.
I agree with the 3 factors: Inactivity- more important for the body to still be able to move, and if you are dependent on people to help you move around you are usually less social with human contact. This has a huge impact on our brain more so than just exercise on the brain in itself. What you are doing when you are moving is dealing with all the stimuli around you especially in nature. Sleep-Extremely important as she said to be consistent on a set time to bed away from blue light or wear amber glasses if you can’t and you will feel yourself getting sleepy and that should be the time you go to bed. When you wake up get out of bed and get moving. Hopefully you get 6-8 hours. Nutrition- Yes DHA/EPA, but I would say people need to stop eating process food and start cooking at home with organic food. No microwaves. If it comes in a package with a label generally not good unless it’s packaged that way in the produce section. Methylene Blue is probably something you want to look at for increasing your mitochondria. EMF- You want to shut down your Wi-Fi in the house and your phone off or at least hit all Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and cellular connection off and hit Air Plane mode. Not just Air Plane mode, that doesn’t shut it off. EMF has been shown to disrupt sleep and some people are more EMF sensitive with headaches and pains. Hopefully you don’t live next to high power lines over your house or a cell tower near by. If you have full bars on your phone you are definitely too close. Final- What you put in your body affects your brain, from air(mold, to VOC from paint, furniture, cleaning products and etc), medications (chemicals that are harmful and most people don’t realize that Fentanyl is in small doses in a lot of medication), cookware(no PFAS your non stick pans and no aluminum cookware) and injectable like vaccines(have a lot of harmful ingredients with heavy metals and usually the adjuvant is Aluminum, which has been shown in all Alzheimer’s) You should next time ask for an insert sheet for a vaccine and decide if you want that in your body and ask what might be worst later. Way the pros and the cons objectively, not by what a doctor tells you. They really don’t know. Test them next time. What’s in this that I am getting. If they don’t know and you don’t know, it’s time hold and do some research. Nowadays doctors prescribe you medication after sending you to all their specialist doctor friends with no one finding the cause, but still give you something that could make it worse. That’s not how it was done when I was growing up. That’s bad practice.
So informative. Thank you. I take care of my mom, who has dementia. She had horrible sleep issues for years, not the greatest diet, and didn't exercise much. She's your poster child, for sure.
In my opinion, most runners consume a lot of carbohydrates with no apparent harm. But there is harm. Your mitochondria are fueled by carbohydrates or fatty acids. Carbohydrates come with consequences; elevated blood sugar; elevated insulin; glycation of cells; production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals that damage cells and DNA. Fatty acids fuel your body with much less damaging consequences. If you are not Keto / Carnivore, you should learn about it. I feel the same as you about running.
Doing gardening IS the BEST exercise for any homeowner. It is so hard, too often we pay recent immigrants to do that hard work. So this speaker hasn't done much gardening, If she promotes walking, but puts shade on gardening. Obviously it is vigorous exercise when you do gardening, along with how it includes many squats and stretches, lifting weight and holding up your weght as you reach to pick up leaves or weeds with one hand. Raking is a part of gardening, it fixed my shoulder impingement problem. Ill bet she couldn't do 30 mins of raking. Bags of manure and soil are heavy too! Digging a hole with a shovel or leveling soil with a hoe. Dont even get me started on how tough doing hardscape is, for a workout. I find it silly now to hear people talk about gym memberships, when their landscape is far more rewarding for the time spent. Also it gets you back to nature, grounded to the earth where we sprouted from.
@@sunshinedayz2172 and the sun's vitamin D lasts for days slowly releasing it to your body's needs where as supplemental D3 only gets absorbed at 60% and is gone in a day (per Huberman's research).

Just came across this podcast this afternoon in a few things to comment on regarding the gym. First No one woke up today.Hoping you were going to walk through the front door of the gym. 2nd: The only competition you have at the gym is your own reflection in the mirror. 3rd: The gym is much more accepting of newcomers than you might think. 4th: Up to this point, you may have spent all your time. Investing into your financial bank. Now is the time to invest in to your body bank. Good luck and God speed! YOU CAN DO THIS!!!
@SE-kh2tq Wow. Soooo you'd rather come to the comments FIRST before doing the work on your own and looking at the video yourself? Can we say the word LAZY???
I had to say goodbye to my younger 63 yr sister..I am 68..she was very different than I...never excericised, where 8 always played sports growing up....didn't like school, I got my Masters degree...I didn't know what happened to her to get this so young, so I live in fear now that tomorrow it will be me..Thank you for the great tips to help me avoid this terrible disease..
If you get it young it is purely down to genes; age itself is a factor for dementia so one can do all the stuff they tell us but you will always have some form of dementia.
Jesus bless you! thank you for leading with the answers and then supporting them, most of us do not have it in our time budget to listen more than a few moments to get what will help or might help, because that is all the time we have
Thank you so much for doing this podcast. I know exercise is good for your body but it was never a priority for me but after watching this, especially the way the doctor explained. I’ll make it a priority because watching my father in law had dementia is heartbroken.
Wow.. this lady knows her stuff! This has really impacted my understanding of how the heart and brain function. Most easily understood explanation for the lay person. Thank you so much. I always walked, from now on, I will go for my walks with a different mindset. Can't thank you enough. Mags x ❤
I'm 40. Been through a severe Traumatic experience September 1st 2023. Work stress, 7yr old son periodic behavioral stress as a single parent with everything else our world have to offer daily. I've been through too much too soon within the past 6yrs. My Short Term memory is depleting and it's scary.🙏🏽🙏🏽
Parent had dementia: 60-86 yr old who walked 3 miles every single day, diet very healthy, no smoking and drinking, kept brain active. Still had dementia. Psychically healthy and active all life, slept well, taking NO medication (Drs were always surprised) until dementia meds at 80 yr old.
Louisa is amazing! Brilliant lady 👏👏This discussion has helped me connect the dots with exercise/diet/brain health/sleep. Exercise/sleep as daily "hygiene" makes it relatable. She really made it simple without recommending a ton of supplements. We all just have to do it! Walking is so effective and Louisa is right start slow and you'll stick with it. 🚶♀️🚶♀️
What she recommended resistant training 4 times per week and cardio exercises 3 times per week… that’s a lot especially for people over 70, definitely listen to ur own body and prevent injury by doing what you can !
I’m 70 and exercise to exhaustion 5x a week: weight training, athletic training, barre, cardio dance, mowing the grass. Lots of 70+ folks at my Y doing the same thing.
I'm not sure if she mentioned inflammation in the body for example, diabetes dementia is often called type 3 diabetes, advanced gum disease, HPV, cold sore virus and other viruses, mould exposure, there's a lot of contributing factors, Including lack of good nutrition, omega-3 B12 vitamin C, d3, exercise and movement, stimulation, connection,
LDL -" low density lipoprotein" is not synonym of cholesterol. That is where most people have mistaken. Lipoprotein is the transporter vehicle of cholesterol, not cholesterol itself.
This was a mesmerising interview that has really opened my eyes, so thank you! Everyone take note of what Louisa says at 56:00 to 57:36. This is golden. How much Omega 3 fish oil should one take on average daily to supplement? I love salmon and eat other Omega 3 rich foods but obviously don't eat enough every day without supplementation. I also note that 5mg of Creatine Monohydrate is an average daily amount, but can be started on less to test it out first and a larger person can tolerate more of it. I long suspected (15 years ago) that poor sleep compromised brain health that could lead to Alzheimer's disease. The exercise part makes sense, but I wouldn't have put them together.

My gardening is mostly very physical- its not pottering around in the garden snipping off buds or pulling a few weeds out. Its stretching a 17:58 nd lifting 1-5kgs worth of clippers or saws or climbing a tree or digging or splitting wood. Its a large uneven block and i walk up and down, push wheelbarrows and pull buns around. No need for gym for sure. I can squat and rise easily and bend and stretch easily. I dont run but i can hurry. I cook fresh from scratch- no tins or packets. Seldom have sugar or related.
With me it was work. Getting up at 6 30 and being a night owl. I was so nervous about oversleeping I often couldn't. Sometimes I was having microsleeps in mid conversation. What price the work ethic.
Correction Rona Patrick 19-20 minutes , temp 78,8 Celsius equal 174 Fahrenheit (4-7) times a week . Why do I know this by heart? This is because did video about Sauna in my you tube channel dr samiera Sadoon al Hassani . Also the gym . I go to in London they put temp at 92-100 Celsius. Dry heat. Research was done in Finland using 78,8 Celsius with 1-2 percent humidity. Thanks to help those interested. God blessings. Keep learning keep healthy .
The actress Jennifer Garner was on the Drew Barrymore show recently. Jennifer said she works out every day. Said she needs it for her body and her brain. She really emphasized the brain part. Obviously she knows what she’s talking about.
Well done Mr Purohit on the psycho-social support and development of your mens group. Great initiative. And for a great interview with a great interviewee.
I would be concerned taking creatine because it also increases TMAO. Also, you do not have to eat fish for omega 3. Fish don’t make omega 3. They get it from the algae. Also the fish are filled with persistent organic pollutants (pops). We can eat algae along with hemp, chia and flax seeds along with walnuts for omega 3 and also take a supplement.
All she says is great for a human well-being. My grandmother and great grandfather they both had Alzheimer’s dementia. These people ate well and walked crazy till their end. We are from Kerala and mildew is a normal thing in many house holds. Fungus and high sense of fear I saw with my grandmother. I don’t know if we have much on this disease. Mold especially black they should investigate.
Per Dr.Dale Bredesen exposure to mycotoxins can contribute to Alzheimer's in susceptible people. He has had patients whose cognition improved after treatment for mold exposure and removal of mold from their environment.
My mother is 77 and has Alzheimer’s, stage six. I would love to believe that if we do all of these things we won’t get it and that might be true. But in my support group, I’ve seen all kinds of people that ate healthy and exercised and watch their sugar intake and yet they still got it. I’m not totally convinced. It’s an optional disease, but I certainly, I’m doing all the things to try and prevent it. It’s devastating to see the decline for YEARS! I’m so tired!
I'm 76, yes, we did grow up being encouraged to exercise. I've always exercised but I know that most people did not and do not do so. Except for a few Marines running, I rarely see anyone walking.

Hi. It was an excellent video you presented. I wanted to ask if you have a link to the study she mentioned re heart researcher.... 50 year olds doing the maximum exercises for 2 yrs. Can you please provide me with a link to that. thanks
what to understand ? women live longer of course there will be more women with alzheimer?
Thanks doc. I’ve started questioning everything, especially government health advice! After reading "Health and Beauty Mastery", I completely changed my approach. This book reveals so many shocking truths about the health industry!
I got it, one of the best books ive read
Exactly!
Who is Author of Health and Beauty Mastery?
3 Factors
Inactivity
Lack of sleep
Lack of nutrition
First sign of dementia:
Loss of episodic memory (Not remembering what you did that day)
Things that help.
Sleep
Wind down and have regular bedtime.
Exercise (Grow neurons in cortex and strengthens neuro connections)
Aerobic
Resistance
Neurocognitive brain training aerobic exercise. 9:30
Thank you for the summary!!
And don't smoke!
I'm definitely screwed then. I can't sleep, can't exercise due to my heart issues, can't eat well due to my stomach issues and plus I've been on a benzo since age 22 and am now 64. 😢
Thank you 🙏❤️
Thank you!
I took care of my mom who had dementia. I felt like I was dying right along with her. Truly heartbreaking….I will never be the same. Thank you for this podcast!
Same. I feel your pain and your fear. A very heartbreaking and life changing journey. I have gained from that is more awareness, to set myself up the best I can to prevent and to be financially able to withstand what ever I may get as I age. I gained more empathy, patience, determination, compassion, creativity and the capacity to endure and withstand loss. I have to focus on the gifts it gave or I will keep dying even though she is gone. I miss her everyday and it was the hardest thing to watch and experience. May the Lord bless you and carry you as you carry on. ❤
I took care of my gramma many years ago and while at the time it was challenging much of the time, my memories now-25 years after her passing are how grateful I am that I got to be there for her, and spending that time with her.
But purslane is the highest source of Omega 3 & can make a great salad. Even my grandchildren love it!
But creatine is horrible!!!! I made my son stop that shit because I could not afford to keep having all the holes he put in my doors & walls fixed while on that crap! It clearly was dropping his blood sugar!
You lost your mother a long time before you lost your mother. Honor her by living your best life.
I kinda know what you mean. I took care of my dad, and I believe I'd I knew now what I know now I think I could have helped him prevent or prolonged his determination with all that is available. However we won't know if these findings are really because they can't exhume bodies to see how many had the disease .
Do a autopsy to see what disease is metabolic disease or anything else they had to remember these researchers are not sure and it's going to take another 30 yrs ... ⁰
One thing I do know is that Stress plays a Huge role in getting various diseases, especially GI illnesses, kidney and liver and diabetes and osteoarthritis, over the years as we age. I am almost 78 and and had a very physically active childhood. I was a good swimmer, I ice skated, and danced (folk dancing), played piano and was always singing in choral groups since I was 4 or 5. I still sing in my church choir and play my piano virtually everyday. When I was in my 20s, I would ride my bike and ride miles, and I also learned to downhill ski and did so. At least 1 or more times per week in winter, I would rent a house with others, go skiing, and take hikes. I also bowled and regularly took long walks, at least 5 to 10 miles or more. I also read lots of books on my own and in school where I always had papers to write. I wasn‘t that good at math, but learned what I had to do to graduate. All throughout school, and college, I had to take physical education at least 2 to 3 days every week. As for walking, I only do so now when shopping, church, and a lot, daily, at my apartment building, for hours with a couple of breaks. I have a pet cat and play with her quite a bit. I have a difficult time walking because of moderate osteoarthritis and use a walker, but still enjoy walking as I can. I also am a lifetime learner and love to read and study such as physics, chemistry, biology, archeology, sociology, psychology, etc. I feel that learning, watching movies and podcasts, and helping others as I can, also helps keeping your brain quality with more neural activity growing. My dad had Alzheimer‘s and lived to age 85. My mother, severely narcissistic and abusive to me, made it to 94. I never had kids when I was married or siblings. I have pets which help give me the unconditional love that I need.
Absolutely, I agree, stress causes this and other diseases
Thank you so much for this video! I took care of my mother who had early onset Alzheimer’s. I always believed it was preventable. She had a hysterectomy which triggered so many things which cascaded and compounded turning into Alzheimer’s. It cost $10,000 a month out of pocket to care for her initially. Later we moved her and the cost went down to $6,000 a month out of pocket. It took the resources of my entire family to care for her. I searched and searched for information like this for two decades. There were no podcasts, no UA-cam back then, no readily available information on the subject. The more I learn the more I know my mother’s Alzheimer’s was preventable if only I had this type of information back then, 30 years ago. This video can and will save lives. Thank you 🙏 ❤
I grew up in 60s/70s. We had active recesses in school (elementary) and junior high/high school we had very hard Physical Education classes! THEN I had to walk home from school - 12 blocks! So where I grew up, I got exercise. I’m 70, I do all our yardwork. I see older woman cleaning flowerbeds. That’s good but I’m
mowing (not riding mower)
Weedeating, edging, watering.
Yes, I rest every 20 minutes. But I have been doing yardwork for 50 years.
My husband is appreciative in my skills and he will help me if he’s not busy with his job.
I get a lot of stares and feel everyone is thinking “poor old lady”! No need to worry, yardwork is good for me IF it’s not too hot!
My Mom had slow onset Alzheimer’s. Lived to 90. It was a nightmare. I pray I don’t get it.
Love this Neuro Doc❤
50yr old, 3 months post craniotomy,.
20,000 steps to the hospital daily to receive antibiotics, I recovered like a superhuman ❤
I am 71 this year and I look 20 years younger than my age
Into Keto , IF , weight training & HIIT… and the 4 pillars of optimum metabolic health
I subscribe to the things discussed in this podcast
Keep up the good work 👏
Best regards from S’pore
Excellent information! I am 70 this year and this has helped me get back to the resistance training like I did in my 40s 50s and early 60s!
Thanks so very much!❤
I’m 84, road and raced bicycles from age 44 thru 81 and won 5 national championships. Now just social riding with friends for about 120 miles a week. I don’t eat 1:23:11 mammal meat and eat plenty plant based food. Had a one stent operation at age seventy raced in three races 10 days after operation. Now have my lipid under control. So far I’ve out lived the oldest in my family by 8 years. Feel and look , in my opinion and others 20 years younger. Now with her advice hopefully making it to 100.
Good for you👍
Nothing like cycling!
3215burns1: all that exercise and you still needed a heart procedure! Perhaps more proof that your stated plant based habits are a significant contributor to heart disease. I suggest you start eating those mammals you have avoided, get off the plant based diet lie that has been well documented as a lie by doctors on YT and have an even healthier life with no heart procedures. I assume your statement about lipids being under control means low cholesterol which is another lie I along with most everyone else believed for 40 years.
Can you please tell me some recipes that you eat
What a great lady!
Can not find words how to appreciate her dedication and sincerity to convince the audience on the subject.
Just finished watching on tv UA-cam. Excellent guest and so helpful. 80 years age, swim minimum 4 hours a week and just ordered some resistance bands and will work at senior level. Great program. Thanks so much from Canada.
I really admire you Louisa. You are a young woman of tremendous integrity. Your awareness about how big pharma operates to make us unwell for profit is outstanding as well as your incredible knowledge on the factors causing Alzheimer’s and how we can prevent it
I am very impressed with her clarity. She is SO CLEAR and easy to understand. I recently saw another doctor in an interviewed elsewhere on YT that was dense and confusing with many tangents. She had a book to sell. This doctor was different. She wanted us to understand. She also had no book or product line to sell that I saw. That is important because when there is something to sell, the pushers tend to want you confused and scared.
Yep most docs on yt unfortunately want to sell you something. And the “info” they share is in service to that primary objective. So the facts they share are not necessarily wrong, but they are often incomplete, tangential, and they don’t give a care if you get value out of the video or not. Only that you take the bait of clicking the video itself and sticking around long enough to hear their pitch.
That just happens in the US mostly
Like a certain protein promoting personality…
I'm age 73 years. I have of recent experience brain pain and sleepless night. This video has afforded lots of opportunities to learn new things. I want to continue having added guardianship from your future video.

I m 80+ I ve really enjoyed listening to this podcast The most informative & easy to follow for prevention is Alzheimer’s
This is one of the best videos I’ve watched in a long time. Thank you !
Very interesting, but of course it's all diet and exercise. I am about to turn 80 and never been sick a day in my life. Have not had a macdonalds hamburger, coke or any rubbish in 60yrs. Worked in construction my whole life and still love designing and building my houses, i'll never retire, and of course the forbidden subjects here in US, I am still very sexually active and laughing a lot.I feel its just as important about what you DON'T put in your body that helps.
Amen! Loved your testimony of good health. I feel the same. Diet and exercise #1. Even with my back troubles, and feet neuropathy, I move a lot and hike 30 miles a week minimum. My wife and I backpack and of course, it’s advised for me not to with my back and feet but I ignore it. The best thing for me is to keep moving -not sitting too much. I am always creating something whether it’s music, building a structure, playing guitar, or writing for three hours a day and reading, too-the key to good health for me is little tv watching and if so, it’s mostly educational stuff. Maybe an occasional movie but I am very picky. My wife and I love to be active with our lab and being in the outdoors is our favorite thing to do. Our vacations are planned around hiking. The sex in the bedroom is still 👍👍. Thanks for sharing your story. Cheers to living and maybe to 120 years, God willing
@daryl5379 that is great to hear for you. Awesome. Can you share with us what you mostly eat on a daily basis?
What type of job did you do in construction? how about all those chemicals? Asbestos fibers? silica? because construction is a dangerous job, when it comes dealing with different types of dusts and chemicals.
I have eaten Maccy D’s just once in my 76 years ! I have always eaten nutritious low carb food ( before low carb became a thing) ! Gave up sugar 20 years ago ( always preferred savoury to sweet ) ! gave up alcohol 5 years ago . Spent 12 years clean keto ,then past 30 months on ketovore/carnivore !! I Keep an allotment and therefore do a vast amount of digging ! I keep a dog and therefore do a vast amount of walking ! Recently purchased a dumb bell stack 1.5k,3k, 5k . Work my weights every morning (mainly 3k’s but small amount with 5’s )What with housework/gardening etc, I think i get plenty exercise !! I Do not eat for energy per se , I do not eat for fun/entertainment/boredom…….. I EAT REAL FOOD,I EAT FOR NUTRITION !!!
Please what's your diet. I would like to be as positive at that age. I'm now at 57.
My dad is 94 with alzheimers and he exercised every day until last year when he lost his mobility
Can't escape destiny
Yes, my mom is 97, always healthy eater and active until heart problems and a few falls. Healthy life leads to a slooowwww decline, maybe long suffering for the person and family. Now I, alone, am dealing with my parents alzheimers. No other family members are living. This is a horrible fate, since this healthy person is falling apart slowly, and will be over 100 until this life ends. I am a slave to her Ling healthy life. People, just live your best life, and die early.
@@lah1743
So sorry you are facing this and alone too. I look into my dad's eyes. He is no longer there and I won't insult the real him or offend my true memories of him by pretending what remains is. I am indirectly (now) protecting and supporting a sliver of what was once my dad. Worse, there are pieces they are NOT and NEVER were my beloved dad there now.
The elders like my mom were raised differently and at 93 is still going strong. They I can understand, going for extreme old age makes sense because they remain functioning and mobile.
My generation not so much. We has been poisoned by our environment. Think about all the radioactive particles and micro plastics. Chemicals and toxins. Cancer has spread and increased in the population.
People my age may not be dropping dead but instead are manifesting ailments at an earlier age ensuring a miserable existence and horrible pain and nausea filled end.
If this was true, it would be way bigger news.
@@00ARYA00if you think it's not true look up long covid.
Thanks. Youre doing Gods work. For everyone else reading this that wants to go even further, go find the hidden herbs by Anette Ray.
Fifty years ago, as a supremely fit athlete in collegiate heavyweight wrestling, I had a resting BPM of 43, sometimes 39 when I measure just after I woke. I wrestled at 235 pounds at less than 5.0% bodyfat (Water tank test)
I bench pressed 450 pounds, leg pressed over 1,100 and sometimes finished the 10 mile off-season run in under an hour. (That is 10 consecutive sub-six minute miles.)
I was very fit until I ripped a hip at 43 years old slipping on the ice and doing the splits. I have put on sixty pounds and at 70 years old still have a great heart, lungs, kidney and liver. The doctor tells me that I am just a healthy fat child. He also states that everyone should have my bloodwork. The VA did a heart workup, because I weigh close to 300 pounds. The cardiologist came in laughing as told me that I am as healthy as a horse, pump a ton of blood with each beat, and that I am good for another 100,000 miles.
I still bench press over 300 pounds. I am afraid to push more than that amount for fear of ripping a muscle at my age.
I believe that the foundation of superb conditioning has a lasting effect on me.

What a GREAT host and GREAT guest. Best podcast ever. SO INFORMATIVE.
Thank you very much.
It´s hard to get a natural rythm in Iceland - going to sleep when the sun goes down, and waking up when it rises, where there is light 24/7 in June ... and it´s dark almost 24/7 in December
I walk twice a day, everyday with my 2 dogs. In my 70’s I still work as a musician, still work every week. I am having short term memory problems. Driving and navigation in a huge city is fine, (never close to lost) and I learn new things constantly. My arthritis in my hips is so bad jogging is out of the question. Critical thinking is fine and I still teach which I enjoy enormously. When I talk to my older friends everybody says the same thing….”Oh, you too?” So, is the short term problem just part of the aging process? How “normal” is this? Just subbed. Thanks
My mom is in the end stage of Alzheimer’s. She was very active, ate a healthy diet, and was always very slim. Her sister also has some form of dementia. This disease is terrible.
So your mother did everything these people recommend, and still got Alzheimer’s??
@@ProdigalSon684 yup
Sorry for your loss. I know plenty of adults that exercised & ate healthy for years and still got Alzheimer’s. There is a Doctor / scientist that mapped the global evolution of this disease alongside the growth of industrialized cities (increase in pollution, introduction of toxic pesticides in food, chemicals in our water), & there is an alarming correlation. He studies how all these toxins are contributing to the onset & advancement of this disease worldwide. It is catastrophic.
My mother was the same way--walked everyday, never had an oz. of fat on her, never liked sweets, etc. She developed Alzheimer's and died of it at age 86, anyway.
@@pw323 It's likely caused by bacteria too
I have stage 3 kidney disease, 2 Apoe4 genes and chronic pain from spinal stenosis. My older sister has Alzheimer’s. I really don’t want Alzheimer’s. Some days my pain is so severe I don’t want to live to my 80’s as I have been in pain since 2010! I’m 73 years old! And yet, I keep trying to find a way to avoid Alzheimer’s!
Try to eat a meat only diet. It really helps pain. Just give it a try. Listen to the doctors on UA-cam about it. It's called the carnivore diet. Dr. Berry is a great resource. I wish you the best!
Many people all over the world all the way through history never ate fish as they lived far from the sea. Only today fish can be refrigerated and transported everywhere. I come from Iran. Until I was 20 years old very little fish was ever consumed in our diet, as we lived far from the sea. None of older people I knew developed any form of cognitive decline. My grandmother lived to the age of 96 with very sharp cognitive functions including memory.
Also Omega 3 has many vegetarian sources and in my opinion telling people that they should all eat fish for their brain functioning is incorrect.
The industrial fishing is the most horrific and the most cruel industry in the world and besides I live in the tropics in southern India now and often fish can be contaminated here because of the polution on the ocean and the harsh hot climate here, so there are many reasons why even if taking Omega 3 is so important, one could consider vegetarian sources.
Here are the list of vegetarian sources of Omega 3 copied from the web:
"Are omega-3s found in plant foods? Omega-3 fatty acids are readily available in a wide variety of plant foods. Sources include walnuts, flaxseed, chia seeds, hemp seeds, edamame, seaweed, and algae. Other green leafy vegetables and beans also contain small amounts."
I think the big concern is the ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6. The American diet of junk food and toxic seed oils contain more Omega-6 than our ancestors could imagine so the ratio is off. Another concern about plant sources is that our agricultural soils are so depleted of nutrients that plant sources may be lacking. Iodine is another important element we need for thyroid health but it's present mostly in seafood, which eat the iodine-rich algae. Our soil is depleted of Iodine so those who live inland should consider a supplement like Lugol's Iodine.
True..f the veg eat good meat. We evolved and are optimal from meat not plants..facts@@nenadesigns
There are seas and oceans in Iran. In the north by the Russia's border , there's caspian sea. In the south there's Persian Gulf, and sea of Oman.
I agree about much of what you wrote but plant omegas can't be converted to the active form that we use. We don't need much omegas though. Dr Paul Saladino only eat ruminant meat (grass fed) for example and his numbers were still great when he checked his blood. Plant omegas are useless. Some of us MIGHT convert a few percent but most of us can't.
@@standforhumanitariancauses4756
Iran is big.
The older people had no cars back in the days and lived rural in the same place often. In hot weather it was not simple to transport fish either in more far away places. They did not have much money either. They lived often from their own sheep, chickens...
I was there between 1973-1979 with my parents as truckdrivers.
Grateful for coming across this very insightful podcast.
Louisa Nocola sure makes it so easy for one to take care of one's health. Yes, and especially, here mental health, as well as the physical. Cases of Alzheimers disease has increased over the years. But it is so good to hear that Alzheimers disease is not part of the natural aging. 🙏
I haven’t even completely finished listening to this discussion and all I can say is thank you! This is so informative, so full of great advice and gives people hope! What a terrific guest and thank you for your great questions! Now back to this fantastic pod cast! ❤
This interview is very informative . Please invite this doctor back in the future
OMG! I signed up to get tested for a study. I qualified for the study because I have the biomarker for Alzheimer's. I'm 75, and I wanted to know because 65% of my mom's family died with Alzheimer's, including my mom. I requested the protocol for the study and shared it with my doctor and my brother, who is also a physician. As I read the information, it prominently stated possible brain bleeds. It was a double-blind study; however, I didn't want the risk. I rejected participation, and both my consults did as well. Now, I seek the kind of information that you provide. Thank you so much!
Thanks
I've heard another neurologist confirming the genetic cause is very small, but he said the largest cause are external factor, pollutants and other chemicals like pesticides. He said the air in the cities is already highly compromised.
Louisa Nicola (Mark 13:20) generalized statement that gardening is not physical exercise doesn't apply to everybody that does gardening. I have to reach high branches holding a heavy chain saw to prune them, carry the branches across a hilly backyard, i I have to dig with a shovel and a pick a hard clay soil to uproot plants, transplant them, move heavy pots, rake leaves, pick up fruit that is high on the trees, etc. Believe me, I have developed more strength and muscles that I did swimmig, and going to the gym. I grew up in a small town and could observe the people that were not physically active and the ones that were not: The ladies that were, overweight, sedentary,(sat in front of their porch every day for hours) with a very calm demeanor, quiet, not saying much, lived to 100 or more. The very active ones, including the sisters of these women that were go getters and talked a lot, physically active died 15 years or more younger than them. I think the attitude and personality of the person seems to have a protective action, even more than physical activity.
Sounds like you are giving your lungs and muscles and body plenty of oxygen!x❤
Interesting!
I suspect that she is referring to the brain benefits of aerobic (cardiovascular) exercise bringing oxygen to the brain. While strength based and stretching exercise which gardening of this style you mentioned will entail, it is unlikely that it will entail sufficient aerobic exercise. Research shows that a minimum of 15 mins of uninterrupted exercise, 3 days a week that raised the heart rate sufficiently will result in the brain and body benefit. Actually, that is an old statistic (20 years old). I think later research shows that it needs to be 20 minutes 5 days a week.
@ruger6049 Your mum sounds fantastic!
@ruger6049I'm "only" 73 and ruined my hip with too much aerobic exercise when I was about 45-50. I loved it and it made me feel great...until it didn't and I had to stop. My exercise now is pushing a lawnmower and hauling shrubbery limbs to the curb and other gardening.
I love you Louisa. You are a young woman of tremendous integrity. Your awareness about how society operates to make us unwell is outstanding
My wonderful younger brother died from Alzheimer's which runs on my Fathers side of the family. So young at age 72. 🌿 He was a champion surfer.🧡
🙏😒
❤
Condolences...have always loved surfing...am older now...recovering from injuries, but plan on getting back out there soon.
So sorry for your loss. I know plenty of adults who have exercised for years and still got Alzheimer’s…. I’m sure exercise & diet help, but something else is also happening….. Another expert believes it is environmental toxins & pollution - he mapped the global evolution of this disease alongside the industrialization of cities, increased use of pesticide in food, chemicals in water, etc. and there is a strong correlation. Another professional points to side effects from medications…..
@pw323 My wife has alzheimers. I think her mom might have had it also, but her father covered it as much as possible. I have been married for 45 years. We walk alot and eat the same. I don't have any signs. And no one on my side had any. My mother died at 93 and was sharp as a tack.
Thank You to you both, Dhru and Louisa Nicola. Excellent information that you generously shared with us in this interview. Lots to reflect on for our health and wellbeing.
Great helpful information. I feel motivated to implement all these activities to improve my life. I just turned 70 and don’t want to slide downhill, partly to avoid burdening my loved ones. Thanks!
I get it. Im 70 but have no family and I want to take care of myself so that I dont become a "victim" of other people !
Phenomenal interview from start to finish! Thank you again Dhru for asking the important questions and reiterating critical points throughout. Louisa is a lovely person with so much knowledge ... offering very practical actions everyone can do to keep their brain healthy.
I really like this woman, I've seen her a few times now and follow her, she is so informed and articulate. So glad you had her on!
As you mentioned Betty, I had a father who was so smart and intelectual person, but got Parkinsons and dementia, I can recomend everone to take gooood care of their brains. You do not want your children to look and you and answer that question : you do not want them to hear from you : who are you? I had that from my father, his extraordinary brain didn t know himself anymore. And worse: one day he said happilly: I know who you are!!! You are a director and you are making a movie here!!! My heart went up in hope and fell all the way down till the end of the sentence! It was 20 years ago and we were so uninormed!!! Now there is so much information. Do not let it happen to you for the sake of the ones
Ive been watching as many podcasts as i can on alzheimers as my mom died last year of it. Horrible disease. Thank you for all this knowledge. I will be implementing these in my life.
I love the clarity, and I am actually taking notes.
I agree with the 3 factors: Inactivity- more important for the body to still be able to move, and if you are dependent on people to help you move around you are usually less social with human contact. This has a huge impact on our brain more so than just exercise on the brain in itself. What you are doing when you are moving is dealing with all the stimuli around you especially in nature.
Sleep-Extremely important as she said to be consistent on a set time to bed away from blue light or wear amber glasses if you can’t and you will feel yourself getting sleepy and that should be the time you go to bed. When you wake up get out of bed and get moving. Hopefully you get 6-8 hours.
Nutrition- Yes DHA/EPA, but I would say people need to stop eating process food and start cooking at home with organic food. No microwaves. If it comes in a package with a label generally not good unless it’s packaged that way in the produce section. Methylene Blue is probably something you want to look at for increasing your mitochondria.
EMF- You want to shut down your Wi-Fi in the house and your phone off or at least hit all Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and cellular connection off and hit Air Plane mode. Not just Air Plane mode, that doesn’t shut it off. EMF has been shown to disrupt sleep and some people are more EMF sensitive with headaches and pains. Hopefully you don’t live next to high power lines over your house or a cell tower near by. If you have full bars on your phone you are definitely too close.
Final- What you put in your body affects your brain, from air(mold, to VOC from paint, furniture, cleaning products and etc), medications (chemicals that are harmful and most people don’t realize that Fentanyl is in small doses in a lot of medication), cookware(no PFAS your non stick pans and no aluminum cookware) and injectable like vaccines(have a lot of harmful ingredients with heavy metals and usually the adjuvant is Aluminum, which has been shown in all Alzheimer’s) You should next time ask for an insert sheet for a vaccine and decide if you want that in your body and ask what might be worst later. Way the pros and the cons objectively, not by what a doctor tells you. They really don’t know. Test them next time. What’s in this that I am getting. If they don’t know and you don’t know, it’s time hold and do some research. Nowadays doctors prescribe you medication after sending you to all their specialist doctor friends with no one finding the cause, but still give you something that could make it worse. That’s not how it was done when I was growing up. That’s bad practice.
So informative. Thank you. I take care of my mom, who has dementia. She had horrible sleep issues for years, not the greatest diet, and didn't exercise much. She's your poster child, for sure.
I wonder if this video could focus on points that matter most. Concise is nice. I have belief in brief. God bless you though, Mr. Purohit sir!
Running helps my brain. I love the way I feel after a run. It’s imperative to my overall health and I am happy to be able to run.
In my opinion, most runners consume a lot of carbohydrates with no apparent harm. But there is harm. Your mitochondria are fueled by carbohydrates or fatty acids. Carbohydrates come with consequences; elevated blood sugar; elevated insulin; glycation of cells; production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals that damage cells and DNA. Fatty acids fuel your body with much less damaging consequences. If you are not Keto / Carnivore, you should learn about it. I feel the same as you about running.
I am inspired to look after myself! Awesome video. Thank you so much. ❤❤❤❤❤
Doing gardening IS the BEST exercise for any homeowner. It is so hard, too often we pay recent immigrants to do that hard work. So this speaker hasn't done much gardening, If she promotes walking, but puts shade on gardening. Obviously it is vigorous exercise when you do gardening, along with how it includes many squats and stretches, lifting weight and holding up your weght as you reach to pick up leaves or weeds with one hand. Raking is a part of gardening, it fixed my shoulder impingement problem. Ill bet she couldn't do 30 mins of raking. Bags of manure and soil are heavy too! Digging a hole with a shovel or leveling soil with a hoe. Dont even get me started on how tough doing hardscape is, for a workout. I find it silly now to hear people talk about gym memberships, when their landscape is far more rewarding for the time spent. Also it gets you back to nature, grounded to the earth where we sprouted from.
Hear, hear! The mental health benefits of gardening are notable as well.
Absolutely.. It also helps your body acclimate to the heat while keeping you limber, and giving you vitamin D and fresh air..
I agree with the benefits of gardening... stretching, squats, lunges, weight lifting and steps. Really works you and you get Vitamin D! 🧑🌾👨🌾☀️
@@sunshinedayz2172 and the sun's vitamin D lasts for days slowly releasing it to your body's needs where as supplemental D3 only gets absorbed at 60% and is gone in a day (per Huberman's research). Sun in the eyes in the morning also sets up your Circadian Rhythm for a good night's sleep. So glad you brought this up, sunshinedayz , who better to raise that topic...
Please stop paying someone to cut your grass. Walking behind a lawn mower, pushing and pulling, is an excellent form of exercise!!!!
Just came across this podcast this afternoon in a few things to comment on regarding the gym. First No one woke up today.Hoping you were going to walk through the front door of the gym.
2nd: The only competition you have at the gym is your own reflection in the mirror.
3rd: The gym is much more accepting of newcomers than you might think.
4th: Up to this point, you may have spent all your time. Investing into your financial bank. Now is the time to invest in to your body bank.
Good luck and God speed!
YOU CAN DO THIS!!!
I was looking for a summary in the comments to see if this video is worth it 😂 no summary but your comments says it all!
@SE-kh2tq Wow. Soooo you'd rather come to the comments FIRST before doing the work on your own and looking at the video yourself? Can we say the word LAZY???
@@girlygirl1890Sorry we want knowledge but are protecting our time. The most important commodity we have.
@@gregroth4696 Lazy? And would rather someone else do the "work" for you? oh! ok! 🤣🤣😂😂
I had to say goodbye to my younger 63 yr sister..I am 68..she was very different than I...never excericised, where 8 always played sports growing up....didn't like school, I got my Masters degree...I didn't know what happened to her to get this so young, so I live in fear now that tomorrow it will be me..Thank you for the great tips to help me avoid this terrible disease..
If you get it young it is purely down to genes; age itself is a factor for dementia so one can do all the stuff they tell us but you will always have some form of dementia.
Jesus bless you! thank you for leading with the answers and then supporting them, most of us do not have it in our time budget to listen more than a few moments to get what will help or might help, because that is all the time we have
Thank you so much for doing this podcast. I know exercise is good for your body but it was never a priority for me but after watching this, especially the way the doctor explained. I’ll make it a priority because watching my father in law had dementia is heartbroken.
Walking I still say is the best .
Too many people that were so healthy and athletically inclined .
Runners seem to go early
Runners often overexercise and many of them eat a lot of carbs.Carbs cause inflammation in your arteries.
@@honkytonk4465 jointproblems!erosion
I like the questions you ask.You get right to the point and ask pointed questions. Thanks
Wow.. this lady knows her stuff!
This has really impacted my understanding of how the heart and brain function.
Most easily understood explanation for the lay person. Thank you so much. I always walked, from now on, I will go for my walks with a different mindset. Can't thank you enough. Mags x ❤
I'm 40. Been through a severe Traumatic experience September 1st 2023. Work stress, 7yr old son periodic behavioral stress as a single parent with everything else our world have to offer daily. I've been through too much too soon within the past 6yrs. My Short Term memory is depleting and it's scary.🙏🏽🙏🏽
Excellent programme - Have to go and find my sleep, so couldn't finish it - hope I can find it again tomorrow!
Parent had dementia: 60-86 yr old who walked 3 miles every single day, diet very healthy, no smoking and drinking, kept brain active. Still had dementia. Psychically healthy and active all life, slept well, taking NO medication (Drs were always surprised) until dementia meds at 80 yr old.
There must be something else to it other this standard advice.
@@Catty_1133 I often think it’s all the chemicals in our environment. They are only getting worse too.
Louisa is amazing! Brilliant lady 👏👏This discussion has helped me connect the dots with exercise/diet/brain health/sleep. Exercise/sleep as daily "hygiene" makes it relatable. She really made it simple without recommending a ton of supplements. We all just have to do it! Walking is so effective and Louisa is right start slow and you'll stick with it. 🚶♀️🚶♀️
What she recommended resistant training 4 times per week and cardio exercises 3 times per week… that’s a lot especially for people over 70, definitely listen to ur own body and prevent injury by doing what you can !
Great advice.
I agree 100%.
I’m 70 and exercise to exhaustion 5x a week: weight training, athletic training, barre, cardio dance, mowing the grass. Lots of 70+ folks at my Y doing the same thing.
I’m 66 and walk every day. I lift weights about twice a week only because I don’t recover nearly as fast as I used to.
Algae is where fish get their Omega 3. It is a good idea to add Chlorella (cracked cell), and healthy algae to the diet.
What an amazing Lady thank god for people like her..
I'm not sure if she mentioned inflammation in the body for example, diabetes dementia is often called type 3 diabetes, advanced gum disease, HPV, cold sore virus and other viruses, mould exposure, there's a lot of contributing factors, Including lack of good nutrition, omega-3 B12 vitamin C, d3, exercise and movement, stimulation, connection,
1:02:25 recap
Aerobic and resistance exercise
Sleep - quantity and quality and consistency
Foods- antioxidant, hydration
Additionally, sauna and ice bath
I wish you had covered *which* muscles are most important to work on in resistance training for brain benefit.
Legs, and not just the big dumb bullies- the quads
We understand exercise for the exterior of your body that we see. We don’t usually think about exercising our heart which is a specialized muscle.
Great interviewee
Great interview
Very interesting
Appreciated the discussion on big pharma and their role in wanting people to get sick, to keep them funded.
Very good information and advice thank you both from my bottom of my heart. May Almighty Bless you'll Amen.
Very very..smart.
Brain dr..explains in detail..thank u ❤❤
LDL -" low density lipoprotein" is not synonym of cholesterol. That is where most people have mistaken. Lipoprotein is the transporter vehicle of cholesterol, not cholesterol itself.
Thank you for this. An excellent interview. Such important and valuable information. An informed wake up call!
That was a great conversation and gave me some real evidence to back the talk. Thank you.
This was so encouraging! I’m more motivated to exercise and eat better and supplement!
This was a mesmerising interview that has really opened my eyes, so thank you! Everyone take note of what Louisa says at 56:00 to 57:36. This is golden.
How much Omega 3 fish oil should one take on average daily to supplement? I love salmon and eat other Omega 3 rich foods but obviously don't eat enough every day without supplementation. I also note that 5mg of Creatine Monohydrate is an average daily amount, but can be started on less to test it out first and a larger person can tolerate more of it. I long suspected (15 years ago) that poor sleep compromised brain health that could lead to Alzheimer's disease. The exercise part makes sense, but I wouldn't have put them together. Invaluable information in this video! Subscribed!
The scientist, Rhonda Patrick is great about this. Her podcast which is shown on You Tube is called Find My Fitness
Thank you for discussing vividly this health concern.Love knowing such valuable info from an authority❤
My gardening is mostly very physical- its not pottering around in the garden snipping off buds or pulling a few weeds out. Its stretching a 17:58 nd lifting 1-5kgs worth of clippers or saws or climbing a tree or digging or splitting wood. Its a large uneven block and i walk up and down, push wheelbarrows and pull buns around. No need for gym for sure. I can squat and rise easily and bend and stretch easily. I dont run but i can hurry. I cook fresh from scratch- no tins or packets. Seldom have sugar or related.
Amazing podcast. Thank you.
Rubbish! my husband was very active, loved the outdoors all his life, ate Mediterranean Diet and no problems sleeping and developed Alzheimer's at 60
Yes, must be something more to it
What about genetics in his case?
I am so sorry for you both.
Mothers are screwed out of sleep for at least a two decades. Then, menopause inaomnia.
Facts
That's why we have womens liberation. Dump a guy that won't let you get a full night's sleep. It's so abusive.
Perhaps that is the reason for more women get alzheimers
With me it was work. Getting up at 6 30 and being a night owl. I was so nervous about oversleeping I often couldn't. Sometimes I was having microsleeps in mid conversation. What price the work ethic.
I'm type 1 diabetic since 18 I haven't slept a full night in almost 30 years. Constantly dealing with medical maintenance is exhausting.
We had regular PE classes in elementary school in the 60's, and President Kennedy had competitions and goals for physical exercise.
Thank you for an amazing stream tonight.😊
Wonderful information! You both are briliant! !!!v Thanks so much!
Correction Rona Patrick 19-20 minutes , temp 78,8 Celsius equal 174 Fahrenheit (4-7) times a week . Why do I know this by heart? This is because did video about Sauna in my you tube channel dr samiera Sadoon al Hassani . Also the gym . I go to in London they put temp at 92-100 Celsius. Dry heat. Research was done in Finland using 78,8 Celsius with 1-2 percent humidity. Thanks to help those interested. God blessings. Keep learning keep healthy .
Zone2 we burn fatty acids HIIT we burn glucose.Dementia is evident on many people and they don’t know .
The actress Jennifer Garner was on the Drew Barrymore show recently. Jennifer said she works out every day. Said she needs it for her body and her brain. She really emphasized the brain part. Obviously she knows what she’s talking about.
.?
Well done Mr Purohit on the psycho-social support and development of your mens group. Great initiative. And for a great interview with a great interviewee.
THANK YOU 🙏 ❤❤
Bless you both.
I would be concerned taking creatine because it also increases TMAO. Also, you do not have to eat fish for omega 3. Fish don’t make omega 3. They get it from the algae. Also the fish are filled with persistent organic pollutants (pops). We can eat algae along with hemp, chia and flax seeds along with walnuts for omega 3 and also take a supplement.
both of you! thank you, werry informative
All she says is great for a human well-being. My grandmother and great grandfather they both had Alzheimer’s dementia. These people ate well and walked crazy till their end. We are from Kerala and mildew is a normal thing in many house holds. Fungus and high sense of fear I saw with my grandmother. I don’t know if we have much on this disease. Mold especially black they should investigate.
That's a fascinating point, seems possible. Perhaps they weren't sleeping well and didn't know it
Per Dr.Dale Bredesen exposure to mycotoxins can contribute to Alzheimer's in susceptible people. He has had patients whose cognition improved after treatment for mold exposure and removal of mold from their environment.
All I can say is 🤦🏻♀️
Ventillation during sleep very importend
Best among all, I listened to so far....❤
Pure gold this advice.
Give me suggestions on food intake. what specific fish. etc. Thanks.
My mother is 77 and has Alzheimer’s, stage six. I would love to believe that if we do all of these things we won’t get it and that might be true. But in my support group, I’ve seen all kinds of people that ate healthy and exercised and watch their sugar intake and yet they still got it. I’m not totally convinced. It’s an optional disease, but I certainly, I’m doing all the things to try and prevent it. It’s devastating to see the decline for YEARS! I’m so tired!
I'm 76, yes, we did grow up being encouraged to exercise. I've always exercised but I know that most people did not and do not do so. Except for a few Marines running, I rarely see anyone walking.
Out of South Africa...thank you Lady!
