While there are costs associated with following the full protocol, any of us can learn to practice the basic fundamentals. We can transition toward a mildly ketogenic, plant-based diet. We can exercise daily. We can stimulate our brains with crossword puzzles or sudoku. We can seek connection by going for walks for friends. Insight Timer is a great app for simple meditations that will dial back our sympathetic nervous system and calm us down. We can avoid television two hours before bedtime, and reserve eight hours for sleep every night. We can develop the habit of no eating three hours before bedtime. Dementia is not a destiny! There are so many thing you can do to stop it.
Annsandberg7697, you hit the nail straight on the head. These are the things each of us can do NOW, before any signs or symptoms show up. And, if a bit of brain fog is slipping in, these strategies might just stop any further progression. 💜
Although its a terrible problem can't help think of the link with statins if like me who suffered brain fog &cognitive decline which cleared when i stopped them
The medical community is more than slow to accept new ideas. Dr. Dean Ornish had to get private funding to do a trial showing that diet, meditation and exercise could at least partially reverse heart disease. That was OVER 30 years ago and IRB boards as re still turning down proposals manipulating more than one variable. Plus, doctors are basically taught to treat illness with drugs or surgeryand persists in assuming the infectious disease model ( one drug to fix every illness) should work in every situation.Lots of people are going to die of complex illnessess due to outdated medical school curriculum probanly controlled by the pharmaceutical companies.
Astounding and demoralizing that a doctor would say that diet has nothing to do with brain health. The brain is living tissue and needs oxygen , blood flow and nutrients . Mess with any of these and you have a problem.
Not just a doctor, but a medical research getting millions to never finding anything useful to help. And ignoring the major factor in health, our food supply. I am still appalled how that researcher just ignored our food and what's in it in her overall research.
I don't understand why you would say this. Some disorders have successfully treated an illness as in "infections". Alzheimer's is a more complicated situation where 1 mode of treatment has not worked. But that is not true of most "infections" (disease by organisms).
I think it has caused brain bleeds, which are seen as what is commonly called "stroke". There is a lot of risk with it, especially in that gives only a few yrs of relief.
The low fat message of the past thirty years has been a disaster. The brain is mostly fat & needs it! Medium chain triglycerides is a good form to take - they are present in abundance in coconut oil.
Dr Bredesen's approach doesn't contain lots of drugs. It's brilliant!

Unfortunately, diagnosis and treatment through Bredesen's team are too expensive for many people. It seems to be extremely useful.
He brings hopes.

Excellent video..

Promoting statin drugs is not only reckless; it's destructive
Start logging food intake, brands, etc.
Hydration?

Really surprised by the endorsement of pharmaceuticals at 3:18

What about the ground breaker drug Leqembi?
