The Science of Preventing (and Reversing) Dementia

- For so long, we’ve been told that memory loss and dementia are just a normal part of aging. Though we now know it doesn’t have to be that way, and that there are many measures we can proactively take to avoid cognitive decline with aging, there are still 6 million people in the US who have Alzheimer’s or pre-Alzheimer’s and that number is expected to rise to 15 million by 2060. But emerging research is helping us look at new ways to treat and even prevent devastating diseases like this, giving people a newfound sense of hope. Today’s guest on The Doctor’s Farmacy, Dr. Marwan Sabbagh, has spent the majority of his life pioneering this field. From the age of 8, he knew he wanted to be a doctor, and just ten years later at 18, he began researching Alzheimer’s.
Dr. Sabbagh is a board-certified neurologist and considered one of the leading experts in Alzheimer’s and dementia. He is on the editorial board for the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease and BMC Neurology and is now editor in chief of Neurology and Therapy and is the author of The Alzheimer’s Answer: Reduce Your Risk and Keep Your Brain Healthy, and The Alzheimer’s Prevention Cookbook: 100 Recipes to Boost Brain Health. Dr. Sabbagh’s latest book, Fighting for My Life: How to Thrive in the Shadow of Alzheimer’s, was just released.

I was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and Vascular Dementia in 2018, but it didn't bother me until this year 2023, so I'm about to listen to this podcast and hopefully there is a new window opening for us that have been diagnosed with this terrible disease!
I really feel for you. My father had a stroke and it caused his vascular dementia. He's loosing the battle and only has days to live from the time of this post. I hope you feel better and are able to reverse your condition. May you have many years healthy and free from this🧡

Could you descibe your early symptoms?

It’s wonderful to see more physicians are interested in finding out the cause of a disease, after years of neglect regarding problems above the neck.

Thanks for insight - simple to follow with easy recommendations and reassurance that it is possible to be proactive with taking action for people like me who are very concerned about aging. Loved the analogy using Nelson Mandela my hero
Excellent podcast and gives me great hope as an aging baby boomer rapidly approaching my "golden years". I loved the threefold approach of body, mind, and spirit or diet, exercise, sleep and stress reduction.
We are the cusp of a paradigm change in our attitude(s) and treatment(s) of cognitive decline and dementia. We are living this journey our self and having amazing results. I believe in Functional Medicine, I believe in food as medicine and I believe in the bodies ability to heal itself.

I am hopeful, I will not suffer on this disease, if there is a cure or can reverse it now. I am 65 years old now and suffering forgetfulness. My mother died of Alzheimer’s.
Is time for a preventative clinic of the most dreadful deceases of old age, heart problems, dementia, wasting, diabetes
Thank you, my four sisters died of dementia and the fifth one is also having this disease and so is my brother, they are all order than me. Anything we can do. It is a very devastating desease.
This is probably the most important video I’ve watched in past year,Thank you! This was excellent I will share it.
What an amazing convention! Thank you both so much for all you are doing to get to the root cause of all disease 🤗
My inflammation from rheumatoid arthritis was horrible and huge everywhere within a couple hours after taking CBD oil my inflammation left and cured my horrible pain I think this might help the brain!
I love your show
What is CBD oil?
Book name please?
Show?
What brand of CBD oil did you use? What was the specific name of what you used please thank you?
Dr. Hyman, thanks 🙏 for your amazing
Podcasts.
My mind is growing new cells with all
these scientific knowledge.
Great discussion. I used to farm: calves, sheep, horses - the veterinary surgeon’s first action was to question/examine the CAUSE. I could never understand why doctors didn’t do the same. The furthest they would go would be ask who might have spread such and such an infection. Rosemary aged 75
Naturepathics and Homeopathics are trained to look for the "cause", Not the "Treatment".

Thank you, thank you!! This was excellent! I will share it!
That was so interesting and a wonderful podcast. I do share it with others and hope they will listen to it. Can’t wait to read your book. Keep up the amazing research we all need it desperately!!
😊
This was so much information. I enjoyed the whole video and will watch it again. Nice work.
I loved this podcast. Such good information so important to our lives.
I LOVE THAT WE ARE HAVING THESE CONVERSATIONS ON THIS TOPIC..ENOUGH OF THE FATALISTIC - PROFIT DRIVEN PHARMACEUTICAL, MEDICAL and GOVERNMENT ( TAXES ON THE PROFITS ) COMPLICIT STAND ON DEMENTIA !
The medical student must be trained in this scenario where prevention is better than cure . The power of the principle of " your food must be your medicine and your medicine must be your food . You are absolutely what a Dr sould be . Tell people to go the alternative way , not the pharmaceutical way . Namibia in Africa.
Dr. Hyman: Thank you for watching out for us regular folks with Term Definitions!
I dont know what's going on, alzheimers and dementia are the worse diseases, I'm sad to say mostly all of my friends' grandparents and some of parents all have some sort of dementia. My college friends, colleagues at work ,pple from the community all have stories that someone in thier families have dementia as much as today. They are very hard to take care of and you never want to give up on them because they are a family member and you have deep love for them. However when I was a kid you would never hear of family friends who have dementia, what going on , what is new in our environment that so many pple have this disease .
Heavy metals & pesticides from gmo food, chem trails, pharmaceuticals, contrast dyes (MRI & CT scans), V..a..x..s, water (flouride), etc. The sad part is that it's all intentional.
What is new are those huge phone towers
My Mom has it and I can adjust her mood with food. More sugar and high frutcose corn syrup, the more agitated she is, more memory issues. Isolation during Covid also hurt her. Phone calls to your parents and grandparents is not enough. They need you near.
A positive discussion, and helpful. I like the science when it's presented in a way I can
follow. This talk made sense. Thank you. I'll watch it again so I don't miss anything.
We cured our kid of severe nonverbal autism with these methods. It’s real.
I was absolutely blown away with this podcast. Thank you, I am now going to watch Eat This To End Inflammation, thanks for your input on this subject!
Thank you for letting me into this life changing conversation. ( Thailand )
Thank you....
Best Advice. ever thanks both of you I learn so much we are in our 80 and whams to live to 100 love from far north Australia by the way he is Italian and I am Greek mediterranean. That sounds a lot on. UA-cam must good
Thank you for such a thorough discussion. My dad just past away from complication caused by dementia on May 7th. I wish this info was available 10 years ago. He know that he was developing this disease 9 years ago but we don't know what to do. Eventually he lost control of muscle and finally swallowing before he past away.
Condolences to you and your family
Sorry for you loss😢
An eye opener
Prevention is the best cure
Well done Dr Hyman.. Dr Sabbagh.. A great choice
I have been reading and changing my husband's diet as much as I can that he will go along with he has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and vascular dimension.
Dr. sabbath, I am extremely interested in this....where do you select people to be a part of this study? I am 75 and like you do not want to get old...
A great insight in to the disease.
Thanks so much for the information, we just have to follow all the wonderful advise ….
Thank you for being the doctor that you are.
This was so helpful I love this interview so much between two very intelligent doctors please have some more of this type
I do a lot of exercise, doing low carb and diet a lot, if can make a lot of difference
This is so exciting.
Dr. Mark Hyman, Thank you 🙏 so much for sharing your knowledge. I have learned so much on your Podcast.
And I love 💗 all of them.
Thank you both Dr. Mark Hyman AND Dr. Sabbagh!
Thank you it is wonderful to know there is some hope for this awful condition
You need to be a fat burner to become and remain healthy. That simple. Being a 100% glucose burner for decades leads to all chronic modern disease including AD. Fructose just greatly accelerates the process.
Great interview! Thank you Dr. Sabbagh and Dr. Hyman!
Wonderful interview
Thank you
Mark, please let me know when you might write that case study of that last patient mentioned. Great talk! I will share a lot of this with my patients to instill hope and motivation. THANK YOU!!
off the subject Dr. Hyman. Your laugh is so wonderful it makes my day every time I hear you! Thanks
I find interesting is that if you take these expensive tests to find out you have Alzheimer's or even just a cognitive test and they say yes you are having Alzheimer's symptoms, then what? Then you go on a Mediterranean diet and start playing lots of puzzles, reading more, but couldn't you've just done all that instead of getting all the tests? Because you pretty much know when you're coming into Alzheimer's with your family members letting you know of your memory loss so just take the only measures medicine has so far is the Mediterranean diet. I've heard any medicines they might give you they don't really help that much anyway
Thank you!!❤❤
Great video ! Thank you
Excellent!
Mediterranean diet is delicious. There in lies the problem....
Since going keto (including fasting), I still have to watch calories, but it is a whole lot easier. Less carbs, less cravings.
And as a totally wonderful perk, less inflammation.
Don’t pick on gene kits. A person has to sign additional permission slips in order to get their gene status not only on the APOE gene but the BRCA gene (risk of breast cancer) too. This allows the person time to ask themselves if they really want to know. It’s an electro i signature for each gene.
when you talk about the meditiranian diet you should include its lifestyle!!
YES very true
Absolutely wonderful and informative video. Is there any chance this neurologist and Dr. Daniel Amen could somehow collaborate to help people heal from their brain health issues?
Finger study published in lancets did multimodal approach found that people did not cognitively deteriorate and some got better than the people who were in the control group.
Thank you so much
Just had my 80th birthday! Hopefully ny diet helps even not being the keto! I exercise, never drank soda, or eat meat, etc.
Follow the Mediterranean diet pretty much and drink wine. Very active and in good shape. When i forget where my keys are i worry! No green tea 4 me.
Anything i can do to prevent this disease?
To much sugar in affordable food that poor Americans can only afford to eat,,who is going to help their health? The government???the government school lunches?
Merci Merci Merci 🙏
so I now add more vegetables to my diet and this is better.
Superb
Dr. Mary Newport has been investigating ketones since 2008 She used coconut oil /MCT Oil and ketones to improve the quality of life for her husband, Steve. Is this intervention valid as a low-cost protocol?
He got sick again.Its more complicated it seems than a single solution.Look into Dr Dale Bredeson's book The End of Alzheimers' who has looked into it for 30 years.Its very educational and he reiterates alot of whats said by Dr Sabbagh
@@faebalina7786 I will look into Dr Bredeson's book. I am very interested in the increasing body of evidence linking the long term consumption of refined carbohydrates and processed foods with the exponential rise in degenerative brain conditions
Where can i test myself and my family?
It is very interesting. Do you have any suggestions for preventing as supplements. Thank you.
Good day l have alzheimer what can l do to help me overcome it

Thank you Gentlemen
When is it coming? Don’t hold your breath folks
Conversation....🤗
Thombs down because the information about Mediterranean diet is an excuse to drink and it depends where in the Mediterranean you live
Let the man talk
I'm favoured, $230K every 4weeks! I can now afford anything and also support God's work and the church.
Quite impressive but HOW!!? know it's possible, my colleague at work got her first investment return of 40K after two weeks and she quit the job, I would appreciate if you show me how to go about it..
YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!!

Big Thanks to Mrs Paula Mary Allen I own a House and also did paid off my loaned mortgages that owed the bank weeks ago and now I'm steadily cashing out HUGELY every week.
Amazing how Mrs Paula Mary Allen trading services is influencing lives positively
Interesting 👍😊
It's well said, treat for achieving health, not to clear diseases. And first thing can be brought into today's system is use common sense of health care providers, communicating with the patient/customer for relevant info they can provide which can give an insight. But we are so eagerly awaiting the battery of tests n reports, artificial intelligence only is used more. This type of an approach not only costs an astronomical expense in tests n treatment but simple important n obvious signs n symptoms are overlooked for want of that B 12, B6, Iron, Calcium etc in thr serum. Initial years of medical education is concentrated on signs n symptoms of those deficiencies
Thanks so much I appreciate it. So much..

By the time you are pre-symptomatic the damage is already done. It's like pre-diabetes. You are already insulin resistant with beta cell fatigue.
Who’s the 80 year old lady he is talking about at the end? Enquiring minds want to know!
I'm guessing Olivia Newton-John. The timing is correct because this was made four years ago and she was 79 or 80 and she just died this year at 83. He said she wrote a book and made an album. I figured it might be her.
Can someone request that test from their physician
I feel so desperately sorry for a country that CHARGES people for medical care.
😂
America is money centered for everything
You're probably from one of the countries that do pay for medical care, but if you actually think about it, realistically, the world and your country doesn't owe you anything. You're lucky if they pay, but you shouldn't expect it. We all live on this earth and we're all doing the best we can but it doesn't mean that anybody owes us anything.
Timestamps would help your nice videos ❤❤❤❤
Keto is easy as saying 1.2.3!
Wow...so it seems like we have no clue about how to remain healthy. High fat, low fat, high carb, low carb, gluten free, etc. etc.
What if you can't run? What can I do instead?
This was a wonderful hope for mankind and it is exciting to be alive to hear this.
I always believed all dementia was not the same. I’m going to forward this program
To friends and family. Thank you so much for your information we (average person) can understand.
It is not necessary to give the biodata of the doc.
Reversing?
What about type 1 diabetes, autism
I am diabetic and tried the ketogenic diet which caused severe constipation.
Keto in my opinion is not a health diet it is modified Atkins- try and nutritarian diet with more fiber vitamins and minerals 😊
See Dr Eric Berg on UA-cam to know how to do healthy ketosis correctly...
You probably weren't eating enough starch free, high fiber vegetables.
@@RandomJane104 Exactly, that is key plus a good pre/probiotic.
How about sildefenil or viagra use for dementia. After all is a big vasodiletor, it is like running only with a pill. Can anybody elaborate on this?
Annoying interviewer, should let his guest talk!
So why have you not read Dr Dale Bredesen's book before the interview? Published in 2017, it describes all the interventions mentioned. Title, The End of Alzheimer's.
He has interviewed Dr. Bredesen three or four times in the last 2 years, I doubt Dr. Hyman has not read his book...
@@stassydnc3987 Thanks for info. I was not aware of those interviews.
I have Dr Bredesens book. It’s so good.
It's good that there have been parallel studies over the decades that have all confirmed the effect of lifestyle on degenerative disease, including dementia, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, etc. Dr. Dean Ornish is yet another doctor who used the same lifestyle interventions for reversal of cardiovascular disease for 40 years, and noticed that patients' other degenerative diseases were also affected. He's now doing a study of impact on Alz. Disease. A good Ornish video on lifestyle healing: ua-cam.com/video/e6op2laLH8U/v-deo.html
Dr Bredesen has broken the wall down to treat and prevent dementia!
Ketones are preferentially used by the brain even in the presents of glucose. Stephen Cunnane demonstrated this on multiple occasions.
depends on if you are talking about cell function or cell production. your comments here sound like you are reading from the paleo hymn sheet.
Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge about health tips and preventions which are very practical God bless you
46:08, ok, we are exactly two years now from when this was filmed so, is there a blood or saliva test available now?? Cost??
I thought they threw the plauque hypothisis into the trash.
So this doc says Mediterranean diet pre MCI and then switch to Keto. Dr. Bredesen’s book says keto. Which is it? I’m totally confused now.
Keto first until insulin resistance is restored then switch to Mediterranean
Dear Dr Hyman I bought your book eat fat get thin wondering is it okay to drink whole milk or is that too high in fat?
You can drink organic grass fed full fat since the healthy fat is good for you, but most adults don't really need milk. Lifeway kefir from whole milk with psyllium is what we find works best for establishing a healthy gut.
ROMANS 5:12 WHEREFORE, AS BY ONE MAN SIN ENTERED INTO THE WORLD, AND DEATH BY SIN; AND SO DEATH PASSED UPON ALL MEN, FOR THAT ALL HAVE SINNED:"
Thank you Dr. Hyman for the great work... it is very inspiring and since I went the functional medicine route because of you, my health has improved significantly.
I was wondering if functional medicine has any path for people with kidney chronic conditions. My dad has poly-cystic kidney stage 4 and I’m hoping to find help through functional medicine.
Consider Doctor Jason Fung Canadian Nephrologist who has written many book that would make you think he is a functional doctor!
