  • We know that the seeds of Alzheimer’s disease are planted at least twenty years before a diagnosis. It’s never too early to think about the lifestyle changes that can influence brain health and reduce the risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases. With all the health and wellness advice out there, it can be challenging to know what to prioritize and what truly matters when it comes to protecting our brain health. Today’s guest breaks it down for us and gives us actionable steps we can implement immediately, regardless of age.
    Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with neurophysiologist Louisa Nicola. Louisa shares the top three lifestyle factors that can influence our risk for Alzheimer’s disease. She helps us sort through the most current research and uncovers the biggest myths. She also shares the top two supplements that are critical for protecting brain health and the optimal prescription for exercise and resistance training. Looking to protect your brain health? Louisa shows us how.
    Louisa Nicola, an Australian-born neurophysiologist and sports scientist, has made significant strides in the field of brain performance and human potential. In 2016, she founded Neuro Athletics, a consulting firm dedicated to optimizing brain health and performance for athletes, executives, and high performers. Louisa's innovative methods improve reaction times, decision-making, and mental acuity. Her vision is to expand Neuro Athletics' reach, empowering more individuals to achieve their full potential through enhanced brain function and mental resilience.
    In this episode, Dhru and Louisa dive into:
    -The alarming increase in Alzheimer's disease despite genetics
    -Why sleep is a critical factor in preventing disease
    -The impact of a sedentary lifestyle on increasing your risk for Alzheimer’s disease and tips for -beginners

    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
    Neuro brain training.

      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. ❤

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

    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

    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."

Lots of people take fish-oil and have zero improvement in any of their issues anyway. It's acidic, probably high in metals like mercury and the fish industry isa disaster for the planet :((

      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.

    One last thing I would like to state. “ What is good for the heart is good for the brain.” But the medical establishment has gotten coronary heart disease wrong for over 40 years. Statins do cause atherosclerosis & heart failure. Do the medicine that is advocated to prevent heart attacks does not, rather promotes heart attacks. What is good for the heart & brain is a low carb high animal fat diet. The opposite of what established medicine is pushing. Remember the cholesterol paradox, that one with low cholesterol has a higher all cause mortality than a patient with high cholesterol. LDL is not bad and poorly correlates with the degree of coronary heart disease. The tryglycerides/HDL ratio does correlate with the risk of coronary heart disease. This ratio is increased or decreased based on the amount of sugars one consumes. If truth be told we know less than we profess. But our great grandparents were infinitely healthier than we are now. And they did not eat the standard American diet.

    All these things they are talking about are not direct causes of AD. I am convinced of this: our huge brains require ketones along with glucose from birth to develop and be fueled properly. Your liver makes all the glucose you need. Your liver will also make all the ketones you need if you let it. Problem is we dont let it. Consuming unneeded carbs shuts down fat burning and ketone production until the glucose is burned or stored. If you constantly consume glucose (carbs) you constantly block keytones. After decades of this the brain is starving. Any wonder serious disease results?

    I stopped about half way in. I appreciate her sounding an alarm on an apparent ineffective and costly drug.
    But the hype about creatinine seems silly and may be detrimental. Why would nature (God or whatever) want you to have a supplement that you can't achieve through a normal diet?
    I think the Omega-3 thing may also be hype, as pointed out already in the comments. A lot of people in history I'm convinced didn't have access to fish or other sources of Omega-3 that are hyped, and that includes today. They seem to be doing quite well compared to other parts of the world that make it an issue. Also, evidence is out there concerning a higher incidence of prostate cancer through Omega-3 supplementation.
    I think what she says about sleep and exercise makes sense. Regarding Omega-3: I'm on the fence but I doubt you need any supplements (just eat the fish or vegan source if that worried). The creatinine things sounds bogus. You can build up your legs without supplements, and it is important to do so.
    Everyone is always trying to promote a new fad for profit or because they are misled. At best it will have a minimal benefit on overall health and cost a pretty penny. At worse it will be detrimental.
