My Mother got Dementia and I believe it's because her doctor insisted that she NOT eat ANY fat due to her cholesterol. She spent 60 years without fat and was the first in our family who got Dementia in her 80s. I took care of her until she died and it was so sad and lonely.
That makes sense because my MIL didn't have to take cholesterol medicine but she hardly touched fat all and got Kidney disease where she had to have dialysis every week and then developed dementia not long afterwards! Then my husband developed T2D and then got cancer he also avoided fat trimedvit all off his meat and took off the chicken skins got cancer. But I avoided as much as I possibly could too but I ate my chicken skin mostly but fortunately haven't got any of those things they did but I do have a weight problem a BMI problem and a slightly underative elevated thyroid and slightly elevated cholesterol and some inflammation issues, hypothalamus stress, etc but working on trying to fix it all now. Unfortunately for my MIL in 2007 and husband in 2019 they are no longer here. My mom too with T2D and many others issues gone in February this year.
About 8 years ago I participated in a low carb ketogenic diet group. There were 30 of us and every single person was healed of their ailments. We all lost about 30 to 70 pounds each. One woman was even cured of multiple sclerosis. I have ankylosing spondylitis and I was cured of that. What I noticed first was the brain fog I always had just disappear after about 15 days on the diet. I had ketosis sticks to check the ketones in my urine and when I was in deep ketosis my brain and body felt great. I was quite hungry though. We ate any type of meat, some vegetables, and a bit of fruit. No bread…..no cookies…..no pasta…..no rice….. Everyone’s high blood pressure went down to quite low and any one who was diabetic came off their meds.
@@vickyburton2434 I realize that. Lots of fats in with the meat. Low carbs. No junk food. No pasta,no rice,no cookies. Just meat ,fat, nuts,some vegetables,some fruit. I was cured.
In my work I tend to help lot of clients who have Dementia. One thing that sticks out to me is the amount of medication they are always on. I believe that animal fats are good, meats, fish and vegetables. Remove all over processed food and sugars. Meat isnt the enemy, processed food and sugars are!
My grandfather lived until a couple of months before his 100th birthday and was mentally sharp and active until just before he passed away when his heart finally gave out. He never followed a special diet but he did not smoke or drink, he practiced moderation with what he ate although he did eat carbs and processed food. He loved his Little Debbie’s snacks and Snickers bars. What I believe kept him alive so long was staying active mentally and physically. He played shuffleboard and had a part time job until he was well into his eighties, he maintained social contacts, he followed the news. He took some meds later in life but much later than most people start gobbling up pharmaceuticals because they see it as a normal part of aging. Brain fog and physical deterioration are also caused by lack of activity. Often people with poor diets also don’t look after their bodies or minds in other ways and some of their problems may not be the food alone but their lifestyle in general. Keto eliminates a lot of healthy foods as well as processed ones. and there are now a lot of processed keto-friendly foods that are probably not any healthier than any other processed snacks. For me, moderation in my diet and an awareness that staying healthy involves more than restricting what I eat is what I hope will give me a long life!
I think you are correct overall. I also make sure I get proper sleep. Sleep depravation in later years is very prevalent. Many women are up all night then sleep very late into the day. I have a friend who actually has reversed her sleeping. She’s up all night and sleeps all day. Women should inquire about bio identical progesterone. Will improve your sleep 100%.
He stayed alive because he laid off the VICES. Alcohol is absolutely the worst drug you can possibly consume MUCH worse than tobacco! However worldwide its a HUGE $$ maker... both on the consumption side and the management side. It killed my daughter at 52... in total denial right up until her demise and I was never close to her post puberty.
@@leecowell8165 I’m sorry to hear your daughter passed away-yes alcohol is very destructive-I talk to a lot of elderly people in my job and the ones who live the longest are always people who say they never drank!
Both parents were diagnosed with Dementia. Died in their 80s. Trying the best I possibly can not to go the same path. Age67, Carnivore for 96 days, almost goal weight, no alcohol, no carbs or snacking the whole time. Always seeking other ideas.
@@ukelillyI’ve actually decided to eat no carbs. So not veggies. Only eat meat, fish, eggs, bacon, butter, salt. Making sure I get enough fat. Take LMNT magnesium and potassium supplements. Also Vit D and K2. This is not for everyone, I understand, but I know I’m eating better than my parents did. Thx for your interest.
Look at the heavy metals. Aluminum, mercury, lead, arsenic, exposure are off the charts in our modern environment. This is having a huge impact on mental wellness.
I’m a retired pedi nurse and we had Down’s syndrome children and kids with severe seizures on this diet. I always wanted to learn more about it. Now my brain needs to heal. I have had head injuries, T2D, sleep apnea and early dementia. I have your audio books and I’m listening to them. Very interesting and inspiring. I wish that I could take the course but I use the other resources first. I have lost 20# so far. 😊
Dr. Boz is one of my favorite UA-camrs. She practices medicine in her clinic and educates neticens online - and she does what she teaches with her patients and other medical professionals. The quality of her materials is very high. There is no doubt in my mind that she has spent a lot of time in preparing these materials. The prices of her courses are well deserved.
A LOT of people get Lyme disease that goes undiagnosed. The bacteria can hide in different parts of the body, lay dormant for years & then create havoc. Alzheimer's & Dementia are some of the side effects. I think this could easily be a pandemic. Most drs label it as different types of Arthritis or Dementia or Alzheimer's, and prescribe medication forever.
In my 40's I was diagnosed with White Matter Disease, which in my case amounts to scarring or lesions in the brain. I think it's from blood vessels "dying." It affects my memory and I get easily confused and have a hard time following conversation or instructions. My IQ was in the upper 130's but now I daily, all day, forget how to spell, use or even pronounce simple one syllable words, even if I used them correctly just a moment earlier. They told me it can't be stopped or cured and will have to be in a nursing home in a few years. They don't know which of the potential causes pertain to me, mainly because I experience most of the possibilities: Head trauma (I've had a few concussions, beginning when I was a kid), bad cholesterol (runs in the family), sleep apnea, and a couple more that also apply to me that I don't recall right now. But you pointed out Lyme disease which is something the neurologist didn't consider. About twenty years ago I was diagnosed with it, my primary doctor believing I had been infected as a kid so by my 30's a lot of damage had been done. I did two courses of antibiotics and two rounds of Cat's Claw. It wasn't for at least another fifteen years that I was sent to a neurologist due to memory and confusion. We don't have a neurologist in town anymore and the clinics in Tulsa can't keep them on staff, but your comment on about Lyme Disease has me wondering. I don't remember being retested so maybe I still have it, or something. I will try to look into it more. Thank you.
My mom developed dementia after chemotherapy at 90 years old. She chose chemo which surprised all of us. Prior to the chemo she was quick thinking and showed no signs of dementia.
Chemo is essentially using toxic/poison substances in an effort to kill cancer cells. Of course a certain amount of healthy cells can be damaged/killed as well. It's a risk analysis situation. Extremely unlikely she wasn't advised of the dangers, as this is a common and widely used treatment. Having some form of negative outcome doesn't mean that anybody did anything wrong, or, even that pursuing said treatment was a bad choice.
I’m sending this video to my son’s mother-in-law who has youngest daughter with DS on low carb diet but whose behavior is getting worse. I’m hoping mom will take the plunge into keto after watching this. Love how you make all this so understandable, Dr Boz.
Thank you so much for this video. I lost my mom to this. I have tried keto myself off n on. I will be rethinking this diet. Happy birthday and happy holidays. Amen. Smitty in Vegas.
In the UK, the NHS dismisses almost every ailment that affects older people as "just age. Get used to it". The first time it was used on me I was still in my twenties. It's a huge scandal - so much disease and disability is preventable.
NHS are atrocious idiots, it's all in the diet mostly , you are what you eat , I believe sugar is source of dementia / alzheimer , my mom she is 89 with severe dementia / Alzheimer in hospital and it's a living horror show . I don't eat sugar since 20 years and feel so young at 50 and alert .
This is such hopeful and promising information for helping so many! Thanks for teaching us every week. Happy Birthday! It was lovely meeting and hearing from Walker. He is a natural at teaching/connecting like you. I know you are so proud. Enjoy your family time and Happy Thanksgiving!
My MIL ate nothing but sweets for most of her life. Her dementia started in her 70s. Somehow she lived to 85 but was bedridden her last two years. She caused a lot of financial damage and left behind two hoarded houses and a lot of debt including a mortgage on property that had been in her family 150 years. All this to say….she taught me what not to do with my health. I just ate a tin of delicious sardines. 😊
Sadly, I can feel myself starting to forget people's names and search for words that used to just pop into my head. Kind of scary. I hate fish, and now I'm starting to eat canned sardines. I hate coffee, and now I am adding coconut oil to a cuppa. I hope this stops what is happening.
Well if its any consolation you probably don't have it because people that develop it do NOT recognize it. My spouse developed it and she thought she was perfectly "normal" it was ME that was wacked! I have the same problem... For example I could NOT come up with the guy that played in Waterworld so guess what I did. I went to Waterworld and looked up the cast.. ah! Kevin Costner! See I had NO problems remembering Raiders of the Lost Ark or Waterworld but I could NOT come up with this guy's name! I don't think you have anything to be concerned about. btw how's your lipid panel?
I haven't the foggiest about my lipid panel. I am only concerned because my soon to be ex would always say, “why don't you remember, you know your family has history…” then I thought “Great, the last thing I'll remember is how much it would be bad to only have long term memory and think of you forever!!!”@@leecowell8165
Totally concur. My mother was on a diet for years and got dementia. When she got dementia doctors doubled down on diet in order for dad to manoeuvre her around. When she got so bad she couldn't move around doctors said she could eat what she liked. I thought she got a lot better in that period. She came back for a while before passing.
I wholeheartedly believe that meds disguise problems. Whilst working, thanks to a variety of stresses, I ended up with autoimmune problems, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, and rheumatoid arthritis. Upon retirement I decided to heal myself holistically so stopped all my meds and am doing my best to have a calm stress-free life. At almost 70, I no longer have symptoms for those illnesses, although my blood pressure is still a bit high. I'm hoping time will also fix that.
@@salvadordali-m8h I tend to cook everything from scratch so rarely eat processed foods. My problem is I like salt as a seasoning and, of course, we need a certain daily amount. Thanks for your good wishes.
very interesting case report. The fact that there was so much weight loss on what most people would consider a very healthy whole food diet (paleo) and yet didn't see improvement untill ketones were present is very telling.
Cholesterol is a necessity for proper brain function. Cholesterol is also necessary for proper testosterone levels. So watching people fail in both regards after years of taking statens is no surprise. Healthy diet non processed foods and a great exercise regiment are what's necessary, not pharmaceuticals.
I am 77 and have been Carnivore for 6 years. I really enjoyed this video about Susie. I am a single Dad living in Thailand with two wonderful children. My son is 14 and my daughter is 16. I am very interested in your course about the brain and I would like to show the video to my children. They have not experimented with alcohol, vape or marijuana and I would like to keep it that way. I am worried that when they go off to college and are no longer living with me the peer pressure to experiment will be too great. I can see that the brain video has influenced your son in a very good way. My problem is I can barely make through the month on my Social Security payment and there is no money left to pay for your brain video.
My mother developed Alzheimer’s Dementia in her late seventies. She lived to be 91 but after age 85 the disease took over her mind. I really believe it was the Meds and lack of sleep that gave her the disease. She was on blood pressure meds and heart medication.
Sadly the problem with helping people with dementia is trying to get them and their family to NOT listen to their doctors who only want to give them useless medication and tell the family they can eat whatever they want because it doesn't matter. My brother died from dementia at 67 and only wanted to eat sodas, cookies, candy, ice cream. I took two weeks off work drove 30 minutes one way twice a day to feed him real home made cooked food with butter and coconut oil. I gave him a lot of B vitamins and other supplements like D3, magnesium, zinc multivitamin and minerals. I took him off his medication. During week two his walking was improved and he was able to tell me he didn't want to take all those vitamins. I asked him why not and he said he just didn't. Because I wasn't his POA I wasn't the person in charge of his health care. His son had the home nurse return and give him the useless medicine and soon after stopping the supplements he fell and hit his head and his son put him in a nursing home. When covid hit he died from neglect because we weren't able to make sure he was getting proper care.
My dad recently died from dementia and he was eating plenty of sugar....we only do what we can. This means to take care of yourself to prevent illness...sorry to hear about your brother. Take good care.
@@sabinekoch3448 thank you. After watching countless videos since his passing, I'm not sure he had true dementia. I seriously wonder if what he had was a severe case of B vitamins deficiency since he was a seven day Adventist, topped with the fact that his doctor had him on prescription folic acid which is terrible for people with the MTHFR gene mutation. I'm pretty sure he had the mutation since many in my family do including myself. I formed that belief based on the fact that before I gave him the vitamins you couldn't understand what he was saying, and after a week he was able to speak in clear sentences 😞
So sad but you can rest in the knowledge that you did all you could for your brother. Try not to judge your family too harshly - they probably thought they were right. May your brother rest in peace ❤
Doing this diet will be new to me. I am 57 years old. In my early 50's a CT scan showed I have 4 lesions/scars in the brain. It's in the area that affect memory, confusion/understanding and anxiety, and is diagnosed as White Matter Disease. The neurologist predicted that, because it's progressive, by 70 I will have to live in a nursing home; I don't accept it, even though both of my parents passed away within this past year, each with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's. I'm disabled and all but totally alone, now. I want to learn about this diet, yet it is difficult for me to understand and follow directions, especially if it's new. Everyone keeps this diet in a context too complicated for me. I don't know where to turn to be able to learn more. if only there were a simplified context. Going further back, I have other diagnosis's too. CFS, IBS, food allergies to almost everything ( nearly all fruits, vegetables, grains, seeds, etc), other allergies and asthma, ADHD, Fibromyalgia, Myofascial Pain Syndrome, etc. I wonder if this diet might offer some relief from these things.
my mom is 73 she was diagnosed with it in 2020. Ive been staying with her since then she is okay so dat just complaining about memory she is not taking any meds for it Some days she cleans so cute🥰
Are there studies to support this hypothesis? Telling my doctor about one woman in Florida isn’t really enough to convince them that ketogenic diet is the solution to dementia. Most doctors trust the medications with studies behind them.
Research other doctors. They say the same thing. Dr. Berg and many doctors like her who are passionate about this subject. They see and say the same thing.
There is a Dutch study that suggests cholesterol is linked to longevity. They studied centenarians. My Grandmother who is 100years old next spring, has always had high cholesterol. She refused statins and lives alone mentally she is all there. Incredible.
@@theresapenner38Dr Berg is a hack whose UA-cam channel is for the sole purpose of earning money for the church of Scientology. Also his Doctoral degree isn’t in medicine. His degree is in chiropractics.
I love all of this and support Dr. Boz's work however, that clip of the student saying the hippocampus is a gonner once it has shrunk just isn't true. The hippocampus can regenerate in the right conditions.
Another problem is High frutose corn syrup and hydrogenated oils or partially hydrogenated oils, its even in such things as lard, Crisco shortening, read labels and stay away from them
Rock Chalk Jayhawk!! My son is a pre-law freshman!! Love you, Dr Boz. I listen to you all of the time when I am at the gym. Thank you for your ministry.
Most of the drugs given to older people also have same impact. Especially if you have bladder problems Patients using anticholinergic medications for the management of overactive bladder (OAB) are at increased risk of new-onset dementia
I haven’t had my blood tested lately but it’s usually borderline high sugar which seems to be genetic and stress. I’m 67 and still working in finance. I earned 2 graduate degrees in my 50s while working 50-60 hours a week and working out at least an hour a day. My bmi is currently 22 but like it on the low end of normal. After covid I’ve had a lot of health issues and never was sick or had any issues prior. I tend to drink more alcohol unfortunately and want to stop completely. I have concerns about brain issues due to long covid brain fog almost 3 years later.
My mother and her sister died from dementia. Wish I had found you years ago. I am a rebel and would love to take your course so I can share with my grandchildren. They are being raised vegan (not healthy version) unfortunately). I live on soc sec and cannot pay that price. 😢
This is wonderful!!! Noticed that often elderly people with Dementia are fed a high sugar milkshake diet to keep them from losing weight, but it seems to eat their brains away. So glad a ketogenic diet helped with dementia! I wonder if it would help with the delusions that come with Parkinsons?
I’ve lost 20lbs on keto and now weigh 121lbs. I’m 68. I eat LOTS of fat - olive oil, advocados, full fat butter, eggs, full fat cheese full fat yoghurt but no milk ( black tea and coffee only) LOTS of oily fish lots of broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, cucumber. No meat and absolutely NO sugar or processed foods. No meat but that’s just because I’m a vegetarian. I feel fantastic. Size 10, my energy has doubled. Had a full medical check. Cholesterol right down, blood sugar right down, heart beat strong, blood pressure right down. This WORKS!
Dr Boz: This is your best story ever. My brother-in-law had an older brother named Monfred who had a bad case of flu at 4 years old and all the language he had learned up until then he had lost. We owned a farm at that time and I was very young at the time and Monfred came to live with us. He could sit at the dinner table and eat with us. Herman, my brother-in-law told me stories about when Monfred was little he could speak and act normal till the flu burned out his brain. So I understand Susie maybe too well. Her recovery is nothing short of miraculous. However, do not expect this recovery to extend for too long a period of time. I would expect her recovery to transform into another fall from stability very soon. Maybe with mct oil and ketogenic esters it could extend for a while but it is just the nature of the illness to fall into helplessness very soon. Sorry to say this Dr but reprieve is short. I just wish we could have done this for Monfred.
Don’t forget that much of the genetic data we have is about correlation and not causation. In other words, we’re treating it like a bit of a black box in which we don’t look inside. We just poke it and see what happens. A black box, by definition, cannot be understood. It can only be observed and the outcomes logged.
I rather die eating eggs, Butter, steak and bacons than being starving me and my brain! I m 67, 5feet 2 inches , 120 lbs. No medication. Eat fat and stay healthy!
@Pani2000 same here for me….63 and 5 ft 4 and 19 BMI and during 2019 through pandemic I ate all these salads and veggies and LOST WEIGHT to be 93 lbs and soooo skinny and then I got IBS and then I decided in August of this year….no more skinny me….Ate eggs, butter, meat, salmon, no carbs and gained 4 pounds and feel great! I’d rather die eating proper human diet than get dementia….my mother had it bad and she never ate meat or eggs…..she had high LDL like me and they put her on statins, blood pressure Meds and it was all downhill. I can’t go that road, diet is extremely important for the BRAIN.
Some of that improvement might be a discontinuation of medications that come with side effects. Sleeping pills and benzodiazepines might increase the risk of dementia, especially when taken long term. Lamictal most certainly can increase the risk. Doubt that she has any say in what food to eat or drugs to take. She's at the mercy of the clinicians who prescribe her pills and the people who care for her.
That a thing worked and why it worked are different questions. The thing about ketosis is that it is not really very risky to try (all things considered) compared to other options For elderly people it is chiefly expensive and inconvenient.
I used to work at a clinic and people who did the keto diet lost weight and said they felt great BUT their cholesterol was really high. What should your cholesterol levels be? HDL and LDL and Triglycerides when you do the Keto diet? I have a lot of cognitive decline, can’t remember names, words, can’t back up straight. I took sleeping pills for along time until I read that they can cause dementia. My father, his mother and her mother all had dementia
Keto is great, don't get me wrong, but don't rule out poor methylation of the folic acid that is added to all grains, which she basically eliminated by going keto. Some people have genetic variations that make them poor methylators.
I took the gene test for from 10X and i had the double( both parents) methylation and was told to take Methyltetrahydrofolate calcium salt along with B12 in the form of methylcobalamin be taking both since June but it is not the only thing I am doing. I am taking Amino Acids for brain and body. I am small boned only 108# 5’5” tall. With very high blood pressure not able to control with medication. Many Head injuries, years migraines that have recently stopped. Since stared this protocol. But have and in the last few weeks witched to a high protein diet. Not grain diet and will eliminate all sugar in the form of fruit, etc.
Well now I'm concerned: I'm not diabetic but my Endocrinologist put me on Ozempic which has reduced my high Insulin levels from PCOS/Carb overload. My A1C is 5.5 and Insulin levels was 177 and now 114. So if my cells are already full and I have this extra Ozempic floating around how is this affecting my brain ??
@@grahamatsea3575 That's a very good question. It's scary to see all the shit happening with people around the world after the jabs. And the rising death tolls.
I currently work as an RD in a Geriatric setting for over 12 years. All of my residents in the dementia wing have dementia and many on other parts of the nursing home also have dementia. The classic Alzheimer's patients are aplenty as well as those with vascular dementia and some have the disease secondary to other diseases such as Parkinson's. Only some of them have diabetes and the rest don't have an issue with glucose metabolism. I'd bet if ALL with Alzheimer's went ketogenic that they all wouldn't reverse their condition. I also wouldn't recommend it because weight loss, illness and falls become an issue in the elderly. They are frail and don't have an appetite and for many, sweets tend to be their comfort foods. However I agree that for Susie, a relatively young woman with Down's syndrome and early dementia, a ketogenic diet saved her life, But I don't think it's safe to copy and paste the ketogenic diet for all geriatric patients with Alzheimer's disease. More studies need to be done in the future, but I am hopeful that Alzheimer's will see an end to its reign.
Check out the assistive living facilities with residents going home. Keto has turned around dementia and Alzheimer’s. Dr Chaffee interviewed the owner who is working this. Location in Phoenix.
I don't see it being cured as they don't really know what causes it other than they think it starts decades before seeing the beginning symptoms. I have no medical expertise, but I have to think these types of diseases are from exposure to our environment be it chemicals, pollution, and a lot to our food-like products. Also we are sedentary and our food "pyramid" changed drastically around 1980. .
I've got the Huntington's DNA diagnosis so you saying that isn't the way it's conveyed after watching my father and grandma decline is a bit hard to comprehend

About 8 years ago I participated in a low carb ketogenic diet group. There were 30 of us and every single person was healed of their ailments. We all lost about 30 to 70 pounds each. One woman was even cured of multiple sclerosis. I have ankylosing spondylitis and I was cured of that.

Everyone’s high blood pressure went down to quite low and any one who was diabetic came off their meds.
what vegetaes? please and thanks .
I lost my Diabetes and 225 lbs doing the same thing
I suspect adding more fat would help with the feeling hungry.
So essential for health.
You can not technically do keto on a low fat diet. You can do a low carb diet, but not keto.
@@vickyburton2434 I realize that. Lots of fats in with the meat. Low carbs. No junk food. No pasta,no rice,no cookies. Just meat ,fat, nuts,some vegetables,some fruit. I was cured.
Empathetic doctors who have extreme patience and respect for life are in short supply. God bless this doctor!
Thanks for being such a good role model for mothers, Dr. BOz.
In my work I tend to help lot of clients who have Dementia.
One thing that sticks out to me is the amount of medication they are always on.
I believe that animal fats are good, meats, fish and vegetables.
Remove all over processed food and sugars.
Meat isnt the enemy, processed food and sugars are!
Meat is dead bodies. Going into our bodies. Expecting health to magically be derived from the tortured animals corpse and secretions. Not possible.

@@AnneMB955 Best wishes to you …. Add whole sardines in a tin weekly, very important in dementia prevention ❤
@@AnneMB955 gross, poor animals.
@@Thecuriousmind2 animals are delicious not gross.
Look at the heavy metals. Aluminum, mercury, lead, arsenic, exposure are off the charts in our modern environment. This is having a huge impact on mental wellness.
Vaccines !! Full of heavy metals
So nice to meet Walker!
Enjoy your family movie and Thanksgiving holiday weekend together- so much to be thankful for🙏🏻👼
I’m a retired pedi nurse and we had Down’s syndrome children and kids with severe seizures on this diet. I always wanted to learn more about it. Now my brain needs to heal. I have had head injuries, T2D, sleep apnea and early dementia. I have your audio books and I’m listening to them. Very interesting and inspiring. I wish that I could take the course but I use the other resources first. I have lost 20# so far. 😊
This made me cry. What a miracle for Susie! God sent her to you.
Dr. Boz is one of my favorite UA-camrs. She practices medicine in her clinic and educates neticens online - and she does what she teaches with her patients and other medical professionals. The quality of her materials is very high. There is no doubt in my mind that she has spent a lot of time in preparing these materials. The prices of her courses are well deserved.
A LOT of people get Lyme disease that goes undiagnosed. The bacteria can hide in different parts of the body, lay dormant for years & then create havoc. Alzheimer's & Dementia are some of the side effects. I think this could easily be a pandemic. Most drs label it as different types of Arthritis or Dementia or Alzheimer's, and prescribe medication forever.
Don’t tell them that! We’ll be under another vaxx mandate.🤯
In my 40's I was diagnosed with White Matter Disease, which in my case amounts to scarring or lesions in the brain. I think it's from blood vessels "dying." It affects my memory and I get easily confused and have a hard time following conversation or instructions. My IQ was in the upper 130's but now I daily, all day, forget how to spell, use or even pronounce simple one syllable words, even if I used them correctly just a moment earlier. They told me it can't be stopped or cured and will have to be in a nursing home in a few years. They don't know which of the potential causes pertain to me, mainly because I experience most of the possibilities: Head trauma (I've had a few concussions, beginning when I was a kid), bad cholesterol (runs in the family), sleep apnea, and a couple more that also apply to me that I don't recall right now. But you pointed out Lyme disease which is something the neurologist didn't consider. About twenty years ago I was diagnosed with it, my primary doctor believing I had been infected as a kid so by my 30's a lot of damage had been done. I did two courses of antibiotics and two rounds of Cat's Claw. It wasn't for at least another fifteen years that I was sent to a neurologist due to memory and confusion. We don't have a neurologist in town anymore and the clinics in Tulsa can't keep them on staff, but your comment on about Lyme Disease has me wondering. I don't remember being retested so maybe I still have it, or something. I will try to look into it more. Thank you.
Lymes has been healed via Ivermectin. Yes, it’s a parasite we can destroy
All the best
o thought lines desize from strictly from a deer tic... that what my doctor told me...??? wtf
@@cjam3660 The bacteria itself does comes from deer tick. Then once in the body the bacteria has it's own "game plan" to cause damage.
My mom developed dementia after chemotherapy at 90 years old. She chose chemo which surprised all of us. Prior to the chemo she was quick thinking and showed no signs of dementia.
Interestng thank you
Docs don't tell you about chemo brain.
My mind was destroyed from chemo
my chemo was horrible, brain fog and slow, its total poison, i can only imagine how bad it must have been for someone 90 yrs old.
Chemo is essentially using toxic/poison substances in an effort to kill cancer cells. Of course a certain amount of healthy cells can be damaged/killed as well. It's a risk analysis situation. Extremely unlikely she wasn't advised of the dangers, as this is a common and widely used treatment. Having some form of negative outcome doesn't mean that anybody did anything wrong, or, even that pursuing said treatment was a bad choice.
I’m sending this video to my son’s mother-in-law who has youngest daughter with DS on low carb diet but whose behavior is getting worse. I’m hoping mom will take the plunge into keto after watching this. Love how you make all this so understandable, Dr Boz.
Thank you so much for this video. I lost my mom to this. I have tried keto myself off n on. I will be rethinking this diet. Happy birthday and happy holidays. Amen. Smitty in Vegas.
In the UK, the NHS dismisses almost every ailment that affects older people as "just age. Get used to it". The first time it was used on me I was still in my twenties. It's a huge scandal - so much disease and disability is preventable.
Here in the Netherlands it is the same. And yes, it is a shame!!
NHS are atrocious idiots, it's all in the diet mostly , you are what you eat , I believe sugar is source of dementia / alzheimer , my mom she is 89 with severe dementia / Alzheimer in hospital and it's a living horror show . I don't eat sugar since 20 years and feel so young at 50 and alert .
Same in US
Never had that happen. Any illness I’ve had has been taken seriously and compassionately.

@@poohbear1085 You're either very lucky or very gullible.
This is such hopeful and promising information for helping so many! Thanks for teaching us every week. Happy Birthday! It was lovely meeting and hearing from Walker. He is a natural at teaching/connecting like you. I know you are so proud. Enjoy your family time and Happy Thanksgiving!
My MIL ate nothing but sweets for most of her life. Her dementia started in her 70s. Somehow she lived to 85 but was bedridden her last two years. She caused a lot of financial damage and left behind two hoarded houses and a lot of debt including a mortgage on property that had been in her family 150 years. All this to say….she taught me what not to do with my health. I just ate a tin of delicious sardines. 😊
Sadly, I can feel myself starting to forget people's names and search for words that used to just pop into my head. Kind of scary. I hate fish, and now I'm starting to eat canned sardines. I hate coffee, and now I am adding coconut oil to a cuppa. I hope this stops what is happening.
Well if its any consolation you probably don't have it because people that develop it do NOT recognize it. My spouse developed it and she thought she was perfectly "normal" it was ME that was wacked! I have the same problem... For example I could NOT come up with the guy that played in Waterworld so guess what I did. I went to Waterworld and looked up the cast.. ah! Kevin Costner! See I had NO problems remembering Raiders of the Lost Ark or Waterworld but I could NOT come up with this guy's name! I don't think you have anything to be concerned about. btw how's your lipid panel?
I haven't the foggiest about my lipid panel. I am only concerned because my soon to be ex would always say, “why don't you remember, you know your family has history…” then I thought “Great, the last thing I'll remember is how much it would be bad to only have long term memory and think of you forever!!!”@@leecowell8165
Totally concur. My mother was on a diet for years and got dementia. When she got dementia doctors doubled down on diet in order for dad to manoeuvre her around. When she got so bad she couldn't move around doctors said she could eat what she liked. I thought she got a lot better in that period. She came back for a while before passing.
I wholeheartedly believe that meds disguise problems. Whilst working, thanks to a variety of stresses, I ended up with autoimmune problems, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, and rheumatoid arthritis. Upon retirement I decided to heal myself holistically so stopped all my meds and am doing my best to have a calm stress-free life. At almost 70, I no longer have symptoms for those illnesses, although my blood pressure is still a bit high. I'm hoping time will also fix that.
@@salvadordali-m8h I tend to cook everything from scratch so rarely eat processed foods. My problem is I like salt as a seasoning and, of course, we need a certain daily amount.
Thanks for your good wishes.
very interesting case report. The fact that there was so much weight loss on what most people would consider a very healthy whole food diet (paleo) and yet didn't see improvement untill ketones were present is very telling.
Cholesterol is a necessity for proper brain function. Cholesterol is also necessary for proper testosterone levels. So watching people fail in both regards after years of taking statens is no surprise. Healthy diet non processed foods and a great exercise regiment are what's necessary, not pharmaceuticals.
I am 77 and have been Carnivore for 6 years. I really enjoyed this video about Susie. I am a single Dad living in Thailand with two wonderful children. My son is 14 and my daughter is 16. I am very interested in your course about the brain and I would like to show the video to my children. They have not experimented with alcohol, vape or marijuana and I would like to keep it that way. I am worried that when they go off to college and are no longer living with me the peer pressure to experiment will be too great. I can see that the brain video has influenced your son in a very good way. My problem is I can barely make through the month on my Social Security payment and there is no money left to pay for your brain video.
If your young children were born inside the US or Canada, you could apply social security benefit for them(b4 they are 18 yo)
That's amazing that you dared to have children so late and kudos to you. Good luck!
Down syndrome is a trisomy, meaning that there is an extra chromosome, not a missing chromosome.
Thank you
It’s why they are extra special.. it’s the extra empathy chromosome 🌹
Great episode. Your son is delightful. Great job, doc!👍
My mother developed Alzheimer’s Dementia in her late seventies. She lived to be 91 but after age 85 the disease took over her mind. I really believe it was the Meds and lack of sleep that gave her the disease. She was on blood pressure meds and heart medication.
My father died of Alzheimer’s. It was a sad and heartbreaking ride. We loved him and as a family helped mom keep him at home.
It’s a good course. I like it. I need to get back to it. Day after Thanksgiving, you have my word 😊
Thanks Dr. Boz
Sadly the problem with helping people with dementia is trying to get them and their family to NOT listen to their doctors who only want to give them useless medication and tell the family they can eat whatever they want because it doesn't matter. My brother died from dementia at 67 and only wanted to eat sodas, cookies, candy, ice cream. I took two weeks off work drove 30 minutes one way twice a day to feed him real home made cooked food with butter and coconut oil. I gave him a lot of B vitamins and other supplements like D3, magnesium, zinc multivitamin and minerals. I took him off his medication. During week two his walking was improved and he was able to tell me he didn't want to take all those vitamins. I asked him why not and he said he just didn't. Because I wasn't his POA I wasn't the person in charge of his health care. His son had the home nurse return and give him the useless medicine and soon after stopping the supplements he fell and hit his head and his son put him in a nursing home. When covid hit he died from neglect because we weren't able to make sure he was getting proper care.
Such a sad story. I’m so sorry this happened….
Incredible sad
My dad recently died from dementia and he was eating plenty of sugar....we only do what we can. This means to take care of yourself to prevent illness...sorry to hear about your brother. Take good care.
@@sabinekoch3448 thank you. After watching countless videos since his passing, I'm not sure he had true dementia. I seriously wonder if what he had was a severe case of B vitamins deficiency since he was a seven day Adventist, topped with the fact that his doctor had him on prescription folic acid which is terrible for people with the MTHFR gene mutation. I'm pretty sure he had the mutation since many in my family do including myself. I formed that belief based on the fact that before I gave him the vitamins you couldn't understand what he was saying, and after a week he was able to speak in clear sentences 😞
So sad but you can rest in the knowledge that you did all you could for your brother. Try not to judge your family too harshly - they probably thought they were right. May your brother rest in peace ❤
You and you son look beautiful and healthy. I have been doing keto diet on and off many years but you have encouraged me to stick with it. Thank you
Everyone should read Dr Mary Newports book about the benefits of coconut oil and ketones. This is not new it has been done for decades.
Methylene Blue , ACZ nano , MCT C8 , ME-3 , brain training exercises , no veg oils , fried food , no sugar , grains or alcohol.
Great video Dr. Boz.
I wonder if they had her on statins because I have seen many people having symptoms of dementia taking that garbage pill.
i said no to statins a few months ago..rather take my chances on improving my diet & being more active
Doing this diet will be new to me. I am 57 years old. In my early 50's a CT scan showed I have 4 lesions/scars in the brain. It's in the area that affect memory, confusion/understanding and anxiety, and is diagnosed as White Matter Disease. The neurologist predicted that, because it's progressive, by 70 I will have to live in a nursing home; I don't accept it, even though both of my parents passed away within this past year, each with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's.
I'm disabled and all but totally alone, now. I want to learn about this diet, yet it is difficult for me to understand and follow directions, especially if it's new. Everyone keeps this diet in a context too complicated for me. I don't know where to turn to be able to learn more. if only there were a simplified context.
Going further back, I have other diagnosis's too. CFS, IBS, food allergies to almost everything ( nearly all fruits, vegetables, grains, seeds, etc), other allergies and asthma, ADHD, Fibromyalgia, Myofascial Pain Syndrome, etc. I wonder if this diet might offer some relief from these things.
my mom is 73 she was diagnosed with it in 2020.
Ive been staying with her since then she is okay so dat just complaining about memory she is not taking any meds for it
Some days she cleans so cute🥰
fat, give her butter and coconut oil.
Would love more curated videos or at least chapter marks, I don't have the bandwidth to slog through entire livestreams.... cheers tho
It was nice to see your son on the video. Happy Thanksgiving.❤
I tell everyone I know. This is preventable!
Are there studies to support this hypothesis? Telling my doctor about one woman in Florida isn’t really enough to convince them that ketogenic diet is the solution to dementia. Most doctors trust the medications with studies behind them.
Research other doctors. They say the same thing. Dr. Berg and many doctors like her who are passionate about this subject. They see and say the same thing.
There is a Dutch study that suggests cholesterol is linked to longevity. They studied centenarians. My Grandmother who is 100years old next spring, has always had high cholesterol. She refused statins and lives alone mentally she is all there. Incredible.
@@theresapenner38Dr Berg is a hack whose UA-cam channel is for the sole purpose of earning money for the church of Scientology. Also his Doctoral degree isn’t in medicine. His degree is in chiropractics.
Studies are driven by pharmaceutical companies and they can make the data say what they want it to say. It's about $$$ not health.
I love all of this and support Dr. Boz's work however, that clip of the student saying the hippocampus is a gonner once it has shrunk just isn't true. The hippocampus can regenerate in the right conditions.
Another problem is High frutose corn syrup and hydrogenated oils or partially hydrogenated oils, its even in such things as lard, Crisco shortening, read labels and stay away from them
This is so powerful and important information. Also, Those Autistic people in ketosis seem to do better and improve verbally.
What a great listen!! ❤❤
Rock Chalk Jayhawk!! My son is a pre-law freshman!! Love you, Dr Boz. I listen to you all of the time when I am at the gym. Thank you for your ministry.
Thank you. Great commentary and information
Most of the drugs given to older people also have same impact. Especially if you have bladder problems Patients using anticholinergic medications for the management of overactive bladder (OAB) are at increased risk of new-onset dementia
High Doctor Boz. Mary is so excited!
I heard where a couple with Alzeimers started giving the afflicted one coconut oil, 2 tbsp a day (at least). They started to recover.
MCT oil
@@pionus3651 They said it was coconut oil
Me too
I haven’t had my blood tested lately but it’s usually borderline high sugar which seems to be genetic and stress. I’m 67 and still working in finance. I earned 2 graduate degrees in my 50s while working 50-60 hours a week and working out at least an hour a day. My bmi is currently 22 but like it on the low end of normal. After covid I’ve had a lot of health issues and never was sick or had any issues prior. I tend to drink more alcohol unfortunately and want to stop completely. I have concerns about brain issues due to long covid brain fog almost 3 years later.
Bravo Dr Boz!
Seating across the kitchen table from my mother and had to hear her say, "Who are you?"
Words they speak become so unbelievably powerful...
🙏🏻Thank you for the information, this is starting my transformation to a better me as I age.🙏🏻
my mother today said she had been diagnosed with early dementia
Sad to hear that.
Get her on the carnivore diet..
Fortunately, you now have info to help your mom. Blessings 🙏
My mother and her sister died from dementia. Wish I had found you years ago. I am a rebel and would love to take your course so I can share with my grandchildren. They are being raised vegan (not healthy version) unfortunately). I live on soc sec and cannot pay that price. 😢
Learned to like sardines! 😉
True
Walker is a great guy! Good job, Mom!
Happiest of days to you!!!!🎉
Glad you worked with Dr Chris Palmer
This is wonderful!!! Noticed that often elderly people with Dementia are fed a high sugar milkshake diet to keep them from losing weight, but it seems to eat their brains away. So glad a ketogenic diet helped with dementia! I wonder if it would help with the delusions that come with Parkinsons?
Yes. It helps … best to prevent … but if it happens keto + exercise
They're given high sugar milkshakes??
@@sl4983 They want to prevent weight loss at all costs!!
@@sl4983yes with each meal. Protein milkshakes loaded with sugar.

I’ve lost 20lbs on keto and now weigh 121lbs. I’m 68. I eat LOTS of fat - olive oil, advocados, full fat butter, eggs, full fat cheese full fat yoghurt but no milk ( black tea and coffee only) LOTS of oily fish lots of broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, cucumber. No meat and absolutely NO sugar or processed foods. No meat but that’s just because I’m a vegetarian. I feel fantastic. Size 10, my energy has doubled. Had a full medical check. Cholesterol right down, blood sugar right down, heart beat strong, blood pressure right down. This WORKS!

Dr Boz: This is your best story ever. My brother-in-law had an older brother named Monfred who had a bad case of flu at 4 years old and all the language he had learned up until then he had lost. We owned a farm at that time and I was very young at the time and Monfred came to live with us. He could sit at the dinner table and eat with us. Herman, my brother-in-law told me stories about when Monfred was little he could speak and act normal till the flu burned out his brain. So I understand Susie maybe too well. Her recovery is nothing short of miraculous. However, do not expect this recovery to extend for too long a period of time. I would expect her recovery to transform into another fall from stability very soon. Maybe with mct oil and ketogenic esters it could extend for a while but it is just the nature of the illness to fall into helplessness very soon. Sorry to say this Dr but reprieve is short. I just wish we could have done this for Monfred.
Just want to say Happy Birthday!
Don’t forget that much of the genetic data we have is about correlation and not causation. In other words, we’re treating it like a bit of a black box in which we don’t look inside. We just poke it and see what happens. A black box, by definition, cannot be understood. It can only be observed and the outcomes logged.
I rather die eating eggs, Butter, steak and bacons than being starving me and my brain! I m 67, 5feet 2 inches , 120 lbs. No medication. Eat fat and stay healthy!
@Pani2000 same here for me….63 and 5 ft 4 and 19 BMI and during 2019 through pandemic I ate all these salads and veggies and LOST WEIGHT to be 93 lbs and soooo skinny and then I got IBS and then I decided in August of this year….no more skinny me….Ate eggs, butter, meat, salmon, no carbs and gained 4 pounds and feel great! I’d rather die eating proper human diet than get dementia….my mother had it bad and she never ate meat or eggs…..she had high LDL like me and they put her on statins, blood pressure Meds and it was all downhill. I can’t go that road, diet is extremely important for the BRAIN.
Reduce Sugar .
Organic always
more Fibre
Vegetables
Fish
Some of that improvement might be a discontinuation of medications that come with side effects. Sleeping pills and benzodiazepines might increase the risk of dementia, especially when taken long term. Lamictal most certainly can increase the risk. Doubt that she has any say in what food to eat or drugs to take. She's at the mercy of the clinicians who prescribe her pills and the people who care for her.
My mum , grandma had dementia . So I have changed my diet .I eat heathy and am active . I also get plenty of sleep so here is hopping But thank you ❤

Good morning Dr.
anyway you can was beautiful and so informative!! thank you
Nice .thanks you .this vedios godbless you all your family
That a thing worked and why it worked are different questions. The thing about ketosis is that it is not really very risky to try (all things considered) compared to other options For elderly people it is chiefly expensive and inconvenient.
When you don't buy a bunch of junk "food" protein is quite affordable.
Love you and your videos

I used to work at a clinic and people who did the keto diet lost weight and said they felt great BUT their cholesterol was really high. What should your cholesterol levels be? HDL and LDL and Triglycerides when you do the Keto diet? I have a lot of cognitive decline, can’t remember names, words, can’t back up straight. I took sleeping pills for along time until I read that they can cause dementia. My father, his mother and her mother all had dementia
Keto is great, don't get me wrong, but don't rule out poor methylation of the folic acid that is added to all grains, which she basically eliminated by going keto. Some people have genetic variations that make them poor methylators.
I don't seem to methylation very well
I took the gene test for from 10X and i had the double( both parents) methylation and was told to take Methyltetrahydrofolate calcium salt along with B12 in the form of methylcobalamin be taking both since June but it is not the only thing I am doing. I am taking Amino Acids for brain and body. I am small boned only 108# 5’5” tall. With very high blood pressure not able to control with medication. Many Head injuries, years migraines that have recently stopped. Since stared this protocol. But have and in the last few weeks witched to a high protein diet. Not grain diet and will eliminate all sugar in the form of fruit, etc.
Dr Beresden would be a really intersting interviewee on here. Please bring him on board.
Well now I'm concerned: I'm not diabetic but my Endocrinologist put me on Ozempic which has reduced my high Insulin levels from PCOS/Carb overload. My A1C is 5.5 and Insulin levels was 177 and now 114. So if my cells are already full and I have this extra Ozempic floating around how is this affecting my brain ??

I currently work as an RD in a Geriatric setting for over 12 years. All of my residents in the dementia wing have dementia and many on other parts of the nursing home also have dementia. The classic Alzheimer's patients are aplenty as well as those with vascular dementia and some have the disease secondary to other diseases such as Parkinson's. Only some of them have diabetes and the rest don't have an issue with glucose metabolism. I'd bet if ALL with Alzheimer's went ketogenic that they all wouldn't reverse their condition. I also wouldn't recommend it because weight loss, illness and falls become an issue in the elderly. They are frail and don't have an appetite and for many, sweets tend to be their comfort foods. However I agree that for Susie, a relatively young woman with Down's syndrome and early dementia, a ketogenic diet saved her life, But I don't think it's safe to copy and paste the ketogenic diet for all geriatric patients with Alzheimer's disease. More studies need to be done in the future, but I am hopeful that Alzheimer's will see an end to its reign.
Great post raven, all the more motivating to start earlier on our deviated path away from Dementia.
Thank you for presenting sobering information to counter the oversimplified one root cause message.😂
Check out the assistive living facilities with residents going home. Keto has turned around dementia and Alzheimer’s. Dr Chaffee interviewed the owner who is working this. Location in Phoenix.
@@luchiayoungAlso Dr Mary Newhart and coconut oil. Very interesting
I don't see it being cured as they don't really know what causes it other than they think it starts decades before seeing the beginning symptoms. I have no medical expertise, but I have to think these types of diseases are from exposure to our environment be it chemicals, pollution, and a lot to our food-like products. Also we are sedentary and our food "pyramid" changed drastically around 1980.
