Thank You, Dr. Sten! We've seen Granular Lecithin to be pivotal in physio, neuro, mental processes & even dementia patients. But few ppl try it. We'd love to hear what say you! God bless you and yours.
Thanks Dr Ekberg! I sent this to a friend in early stage diagnosed Parkinson's. I've done most of the preventative stuff for years, luckily.
Awesome information!
Thank you for the simplicity of the subject.
I like the way you explain thinks .
With your way in this video,even a sixyear old child would understand the mechanisms of the brain,how it works ,and what needs to do in order to feed it and fix it.
I also liked what you said regarding labels,when some people trying to explain what causes dementia and they conect it with other labels like PD or alzheimers which are also labels and these kind of conections makes difficult for people to understand the real causes of dementia.
As far as i understoud i must stop drinking,smoking,then i must lose wheight,clean my gut and leaver and start reading interesting books to activate my poor brain.
Thank you Doctor for your advises.
My mom is 93 and in full dementia in a Assisted Living/ hospice. I was her only care giver for 13 years 24/7! It truly stressed me out and I’m still getting over it. I’m scared because I’m 63 and worried about me moving forward. There is absolutely no one to care for me. I’m 100% without anyone to care for me. I think about dementia more than 20 times a day… Very Scary!
Same here
I'll be here for you
There are so many people like you and me in this country. Everyone is on his or her own. I'm wondering if people can get together and plan and work something out that helps everyone. I kinda doubt it, knowing how individualistic we are. But maybe group meetings, just to get together to talk about it. Maybe there are no easy solutions, but that's no reason not to face it. It's all the more reason to approach it and talk about it.
@@titicatfollies6615 I wish I could be of help to someone ,so bad!
@@cynthia7242 I think you can be. It's a matter of finding each other. Post a sign on a school or community bulletin board, suggest a meeting to just chat about the concerns. No answers, just talking and sharing. Very important start. I'll think about doing this myself!
Learning a new language over and over again, doing crossword puzzles, sudoku. learning to play a new music instrument slows down dementia. I am a retired neurologist.
@ 20:54 is where he finally starts talking about how to reverse & prevent it.
God bless 🙌 you
감사합니다♡
Thanks so much :)
It usually takes 2/3-3/4 of a UA-cam video to get to the point…

Cary Grant at 93 said “if I had known I would live this long, I would have taken better care of myself”.
That's my mum 😂😂😂 she's 86 now and has only just started looking after herself 😅
Cary Grant only lived until his early seventies.
I'm pretty sure Mickey Mantle said that
Cary Grant was 82 when he passed

Stay away from seed oils and sugar.
Supplement regularly with good supplements and fish oil.

A chronic vitamin B12 deficiency can also mimic the physical and mental symptoms of Dementia and Multiple Sclerosis. I watched my grandmother succumb to the horrors of dementia over the space of 6 years when I was 13-19 years old, in the wake of my mother dying from a heart attack when I was 14, followed by my grandfather death to stomach cancer when I was 15. It was all so horrific and it left myself and my father suffering with PTSD. Vitamin B12 is SO important for the brain and the dangers of it's deficiency are just completely overlooked or misunderstood by doctors.
Vitamin B12 and lack of it is what caused irreversible dementia for my 60 year old mom.
Some people are unable to process B vitamins, I suggest trying methylated B vitamins supplement. Deficiency of B1 is also an issue with Parkinson’s & other neurological processes.
@@chanchan5349there is a fat-soluble vitamin B1 benfotamine. I've never tried it, but am tempted as it stays in the body far longer.
Both of my parents got dementia in their 80s, and gradually went downhill mentally. It was tough to see, especially with my mom, who got very paranoid and combative. My brothers and I helped take care of her at home for many years, and it was extremely stressful for all of us.
That must have been so extremely difficult. My thoughts are with you. Best wishes
I totally empathize with you, my sisters and I went through the same thing with our mom. It's so hard to see an independent, strong parent digress. Thanks to Drs. like Sten, we have a chance to avoid that dreaded decline - (and I'm not stressing over it!) :)
@@yooperlooper God bless you and y'all! ... I went through this stress with my sister age 65 while I was caring for my 90 yr old mom. What a huge soul test a sincere caregiver's life is like!! Ouch!

SLEEP!!! I'm surprised this wasn't mentioned! Getting good, R.E.M (dreaming), 7-8 hours of sleep per day is absolutely essential to brain health and minimizing the causes of Dementia, i.e. the buildup of amyloid and tau proteins.
You are so right. My mother has Alzheimer’s and I can always tell when she hasn’t slept well, she is extra confused, struggles for the right word and can’t take on board the simplest instructions.
This is very true, the problem is getting it.
No doubt it is a factor. Unfortunately, "getting" quality sleep is not something that can be directly accomplished as readily as something like dietary or exercise measures.
Yes! As a person with a brain injury, I am extra brain fogged all day if my sleep is interrupted. Also, the number one thing to clear a flare up is sleep. Our brains and bodies heal fastest during sleep.
Should be mentioned. But worthy of an entire video!
My husband was diagnosed with dementia by a primary care doctor without any testing. He was put on medication. About 10 years later and changing doctors things were not adding up. He could still drive and live pretty normal with some memory issues. After an MRI and cognitive testing is was discovered that he had a silent stroke and the issues are caused by that. He spent 10 years terrified that he had dementia.
Always go for a second opinion. I hope you told the doctor who made the incorrect diagnosis that your dad had a silent stroke and not dementia. If the doctor is humble enough to accept he made a mistake which pretty much everyone in this life does, he will remember that when coming across a patient that seems to have dementia, and he will do thorough testing. Best to you and your dad. My dad passed away 22 years ago from dementia. It is a horrible disease.
This is scary. Oh my
I am terrified
I am at 75 take special care.
I walk more,walk to market, banks,parks,temple and I use public transport for my 0fffice.
I enjoy simple vegetarian diet,dairy,lots of fruits and vegetables .weight 67kg

I’m sure you have touched on this but I am amazed at how much I learned about UTI’s and the elderly. The UTI bacteria that is present in a body can really mimic dementia and once my parents received an antibiotic for their UTI, their thought process was finally improved.
Great comment..I have heard this..

@@dianneadams3358 I have already done that way before now, but thank you anyway 😊
Is it the bacteria or the dehydration that most have with the UTI that mimics dementia???
Thank you Dr. Ekberg. I live in Finland, and I started high fat - low carb diet 4 moths ago. I already had T2D, high blood pressure, and fatty liver. My weight was 142 kg (183 cm height). After 4 month, I am in ketosis, and I do very easy OMAD. My energy intake structure for the last 4 weeks is 9% carbs, 18% proteins, and 73% best quality fat (I use Cronometer App for a food calculator tool). Omega6/Omega3 ratio is 2.3.
The results are amazing. My weight is now 107 kg, long term blood sugar is 32 (44 last year), blood pressure is absolutely normal, and more than that I do not take any medication. Nor for diabetes (Metformin and Jardiance before), nor for blood pressure (Enalapril, and Amlodipin before), nor for cholesterol (Atorvastatin before). Even more amazing, is that now I exercise a lot. 5 times per week, about 150km biking, about 2km swimming, and about 15km treadmill hard walking, that's per week in total (I also work about 8-10 hours, 6 days per week).
I just had my blood tests, and the results are miles better than last year. My doctor said I did an incredible job, and I have to keep it. Luckily here in Finland I can easily find real, excellent food. More expensive, of course, but eating way less, actually my food expenditures dropped by half.
Thank you very very very much, for helping me with your great explanations!
Bravo!
WOW, you are such an inspiration! Congratulations!!! you are truly a health champion :)
Great. We all appreciate Dr Ekberg’s amazing educational videos. Comments like yours with such terrific results are countless in the comments section of his videos from people lucky enough to find his videos around the globe. All the best for you.
@@mohamudahmed3078 Thank you very much, Ahmed!
Congratulations! I want to do the Leto diet I just don’t know how😢 I’ve seen so many videos of different types of Keto Diet and I don’t know which one is the real one. Can you advise me
In a rock quarry truck, my brain was bruised and there was swelling. It is a miracle that I have healed, as well, as I have. I lived very poor and couldn't afford sweets, much at all. Maybe that helped my condition. People should keep hope and not limit their healing possibilities. I am unsure why I have improved. I am thankful to God. I know that is where help comes from, in my times of desperation. This is an excellent presentation!
I started to take fish oil, turmeric, and zinc daily two years ago and have not been sick once. Not even a sniffle. My thinking is clear as a bell.
My dad had early onset dementia 6 years ago and passed away 5 weeks ago. It was awful watching this once vibrant, acutely smart, articulate and capable person start losing his self. He'd occasionally be the old, same dad, but those visits became fewer as time progressed. He mistook me for his brother on several occasions. It was sad and painful, for all of us.
Do you also feel a relief when he passed, since he doesn’t have to suffer anymore and it also freed you from the burden of having to take care of him?
I Am 71 . years of age female and I think that am in the early stage of developing Stage. am geting forgetful I have Long term Memory
@@icildaparks5309 please get good advice, sleep early, eat double vegetables, warm water, stay warm, avoid worrying as God does not want us to worry. 🌸🌷💮
I just went through 3 long years with my husband He had Alzheimer’s and dementia It turned him into a violent runner. I had absolutely no help.
And he died Jan 7,2021
And it destroyed my health and my mental state. We were married 56 yrs. And I really thought I went insane. It took our end life together and turned it into a nightmare
My mother is going through this now. Dad has Alzheimers and dementia, although he is very pleasant. But he's up at all hours, as a diabetic he is eating at all times of the day. My mother refuses to have help come in to the house and although my sister and I are close, we work and have families as well that need attention. It's heartbreaking to watch their golden years be stolen. I am sorry you had to go through this.
@@jennamartell3910 I am so sorry to hear that this is happening to your family. I can’t possibly tell you all that it consists of in this small setting. The medical help and the drugs are horrible. It doesn’t take long to understand they don’t even treat the person like a human. There were times I was awake to watch him 24/7 while he constantly was on the move. My sweet husband used his fist more than I could handle. And what I had to do to stop him from literally killing me . I cry even today about . It left me so destroyed.,Your mom is blessed to have you and your sister We had sons . And they were not a blessing. I had no one And when I say all by myself I mean it ! And our oldest son the only one-that would help was across America And could not come . Even if it is just to set with him. She is blessed.
We were married nearly 57 yrs. And I can tell you I was the first person he forgot. That one thing made it virtually impossible to take care of him If he hadn’t We could have made those last 3 years good ones . Because he didn’t know me. He was constantly looking for a younger me. My sister who is 10 yrs younger than me Looks just like me. He got very violent with her when he wanted to know why he couldn’t live with her. He thought she was me . And taking care of a spouse 24/7 is entirely different than taking care of someone else. The dynamics of the relationship are intimate. And the things they say is. Embarrassing . I have taken care of at least 40 people with this. And I can assure you Your mom is not ready for what is about to happen. No one is . By the time he dies there will be massive issues to emotionally deal with. Most of those people I took care of were in a 8 hr shift hospital setting. But my dad had it and my mom had it and then my husband. And now my brother has it. And with mom and dad it was like your situation My sister and I took care of them. And mom had Lewy Bodies Which is more violent. And it took both of us to handle that 4 ft 7 woman. She had 4 stage breast cancer as well
. The sad part is It’s not a disease You can’t catch it is not passed on
And by law they are suppose to tell you the truth Alzheimer’s-starts as early as 15 yrs Before it becomes really noticeable by others.
One thing I can say that I saw in every person I took care of They all had been a constant soda drinkers In 1906 there were 1 million people with this.
It is caused by aluminum Look it up . And free radicals in our environment
May God be with you all Because I can surly tell you that God kept me from ending my own life It takes you that far. It destroys not only the person But all those around that person It’s been since Jan 7,2021 And I still struggle with what it left me with.
I’m sorry his last few years were so difficult. He was very lucky to have you to care for him.

So very sad, tragic beyond words. I know what you went through as similar things happened with members of my family. I do appreciate the work of Dr. Dale Bredersen, Dr. Stan Ekberg and Dr. David Perlmutter in addressing things that can be done to reverse or ameliorate the effects of dementias on the brain. Sorry I am unable to delete the automatic smiley face below this comment. A prominent expert in this field advised exercise as the one silver bullet that could help address some of the ancillary effects of co-morbidities that appear along side Alzheimer's, like Parkinsonism. Pray God that science and culture wide changes to life style and diet do begin to help people at younger and younger ages develop defenses to ward off the ravages of these multi-factorial impacts on the brain.
My grandfather died from Alzheimer’s. He was almost 92. The doctors showed my mom and aunt a scan of his brain and there was almost nothing there. He was a carpenter by trade but my whole life he was a very sedentary person. He was never one to talk a lot in conversation. He was not interested in much like reading or puzzles, etc. My mom said he claimed he was old when he was 39. He very well may have had hearing loss. He was never overweight. My mom is now almost 88 and she has some moments of blanking, but she’s gained a lot of weight in the last few years, eats A LOT of carbs and sugar and refuses to change. She does not exercise. But she reads constantly and does puzzles all the time. She is in a book club and a quilting group. She engages with people pretty regularly and is very interested in life. Im hoping for her sake that it’s just a bit of dementia and doesn’t worsen. Fingers crossed.
Wow! That final note at 26:51 on mental activity being put above the physical TRULY hit me like a ton of bricks. I am SO glad you included that because I am certainly one of many guilty of thinking that. In fact, throughout the video, I was like "what about those that read a lot, have careers that require mental strength or always did puzzle/mind game type problems". I am so grateful for your shared knowledge. My dad was an AVID reader and big on mental activity, yet he was eventually diagnosed with dementia. Watching this, I see now that he honestly had so many of the "factors" that caused dementia (such as less education, diabetes, sedentary lifestyle, social isolation, drinking alcohol regularly, although he wasn't an 'alcoholic'). These were all catalysts for his ultimate illness. Admittedly, I have some of these awful habits/factors such as - My last physical, my DR stated I am now pre-diabetic (45 yrs old), I am definitely socially isolated and drink alcohol as well. On a good note, I HAVE at least recently incorporated exercise a month ago. I DO at least have time to reverse many of the factors listed here and currently working on it. Thank you for this.
good luck ! u cn do it !!!

That’s why Islam came whereby people had to live like a community. The salat in Mosque is in Jamat for Muslim elderly people doesn’t allow them to go in isolation. Muslims have Mandatory 30 days of dry fasting which brings in all the benefits of autophagy. Five times prayer (meditation) like the salat which contributes to good health.
Recent studies confirm a 40% reduction in dementia for individuals taking vitamin D. That would be the number #1 item.
Thanks. Are there different types of vitamin D?
@sharksport01 Yes there are! I take Vitamin D3, which is best for immunity. I think it's also good for preventing Dementia.

I have 5 relatives with dementia. Each one it started/ triggered/ went out of control with a traumatic incident. One had 2 sisters die within 6 months and active dementia within 6 months, one lost his job through retirement at 60 and dementia symptoms again within 6 months. One had her bag stolen with extreme stress tryng to replace bank cards, and dementia 6 months, one had a break in, one had a car accident that wasnt her fault but no injuries again dementia in 6 months with the stress of court and dealing with insurance companies etc. Something happens to the body with shock or extreme stress and its the final straw. I was given statins to lower cholesterol which is twice normal rate. I had dementia like symptoms after 6 weeks. I couldnt do maths or follow a recipe or find words. I lost my sense of direction and kept getting complete blanks in my memory. It went away as I stopped the statins and my cholestrol went back up. I feel really good and sharp on twice the normal cholestrol. Would love to know why
Boy, doctor Ekberg, l just want to offer you my sincerest thanks for one of the finest presentations l’ve ever come across on UA-cam! I have/had loved ones who succumbed to this dreaded disorder! You’ve obviously taken the time (as you always do) to do your due diligence in your research and video. You’ve broken down the information, and difficult concepts in a way that is easily accessible to people of just about every level. To say you’ve done your homework is an understatement! I can’t help but think of how many viewers you’ve helped who desperately needed this most valuable information that hit all the right points. Your hard work ethic, genuine concern for your viewers, ability to make the complex simple is very much appreciated-not only by me but by many, many others, l’m sure! You truly are a most gifted and valued physician! Many, many thanks, Doctor Ekberg!
This is exactly how I feel, thank you for putting it so eloquently! I'm so sincerely, utterly thankful for this man.

Exercise? What kind , how long, how often? Thanks!
i didn't see the video yet but with keto and intermittent fasting I cured my depression, low self-esteem and lack of motivation; I really felt like I had early episodes of dementia and hysteria, because the family arguments were common and almost daily; not anymore.
The brain really enjoys beign fed with fats, lesson learned.
Thank You Edward Enrique Chamorro de Sousa. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. Now watch the video and add some activation. 😄
Of those 12. My mother had none of them. She never lost her long term memory nor her short term. Her Dr assumed she had dementia and diagnosed her as such. She was older and laughed a lot not inappropriately just was a very gregarious person. She had stayed in education and read read read her professional life as a medical nurse. Head nurse actually. She cried as my brother locked her away, and sold all her personal items. He was her only power of attorney. She told her sister & me she chose wrong. She died 7 months later. From a broken heart. Not all who grow old have dementia. Young doctors need to stop pushing this crap.
Very interesting! When I developed celiac disease, I also suffered a great deal of neurological symptoms that took a very long time to recover from. I was in my grad studies in biogeochemistry when it happened, and I had to leave behind that career path. After healing I learned a new career, and after seeing this video, I’m sure my love of HIIT style exercising helped.
I used to be a CNA and saw Dementia it’s a terrible disease. Few of my patients had it and it was so sad to see them struggle. Thanks for explaining Dr. Ekberg. You are awsome.
This great video should be a funded by the government as a PSA. The cost to taxpayers of dementia along with the heartache of it. Concerns all Americans.
So great at explaining a complicated process to a layperson. Great job. Plus holding out hope is so important.
I’m one of those strangers 💪, I love my residents i always make them feel special, especially when they aren’t doing to well
❤❤Thank you for being such a loving stranger.
I am in awe of Dr Ekberg- his medical knowledge is astounding and even more impressive to my mind is his ability to explain complicated concepts in a way that ordinary people can understand and benefit from. No wonder the number of his subscribers is going through the roof!
Thank you so much for the information. My mother and grandfather (Mom's Dad) both passed from complications from Alzheimer's. My Dad passed from complications from Parkinson's. My sister was recently diagnosed with Parkinsonism she is in her early 70:s. I am in my late 50's with 3 autoimmune diseases. I will definitely follow your recommendations! 👍🤗
My mum died of frontotemporal lobe dementia, which I’ve been told has a 50/50 chance of affecting me. She also had a TBI and was in a coma for a month as a teenager, so I’ve found this video very informative and somewhat reassuring.
Great explanation, Dr Ekberg! Thank you much for your clarity. You taught me soooo much in these two-three years I’ ve been following you! 👍🏻🙏🏻🙋🏼♀️
Shared with family and friends. Told them its possibly the only health video you ever need to watch and act on. Well done Dr Ekberg.
I so appreciate the detailed information you share. You’re truly gifted in speaking with clarity yet simplicity to really absorb the content .❤️ Thank you so much!!😊
My mum's hearing aid was faulty for 3 years, it was devastating and was causing depression and frustration, on top of that she was prescribed statin for her heart, which we stopped using it as she is 96 years old. Statins are not prescribed for people>80 years old in Europe. She is feeling much better now
Dr Sten, first time seeing your video, I couldn’t stop lessening to it that made me watch more of your other videos and send few to my friends who can benefit from them.
You teach and educate just like taking a medical courses .. your patient and knowledge are the TOP OF THE TOPS.
This is helping many people to understand in à such easy way.
Thank you so much!!🙏🙏
This is one of the clearest messages I have seen, and one of your best videos. Thank you so much. I now feel I have confirmation that dementia is not inevitable, some of these practices you suggest I have already adopted from a health and nutrition standpoint-more reason to continue with them now.
Again a marvelous structured and clear presentation and really deserves the claim " life saving video"! Thank you!
Dr. Sten, Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! For putting this presentation together and breaking it down with what to address and is most important. At 62 this gives me an actionable roadmap and plan to incorporate into my daily routine that will produce the best achievable outcome for my mental health going forward. THANK YOU!
This is an absolute gem. I have learnt a lot. I'm a word games fanatic but neglect the physical exercise aspect. I need to up my game in that respect. Thanks doc.
Thank you for this very informative piece on dementia. I had a stroke at 45. This piece really helped me see what I need to do more. Thank you again
I tried everything and the only thing that made me sleep again like a child and think as clear and fast as when I was 25 is going to the gym, either doing HIIT or simply using the treadmill for an hour. I noticed the drastic change only after 30-45 days. But what a change that was!

I have to say that Dr Ekberg's presentations are most often the simplest and most complete and rigorous at the same time. My go to place.
The most coherent discussion of dementia I’ve ever heard.
Excellent video Dr. Ekberg. Thank you, thank you, thank you. My sister who was so very intelligent years ago now is deteriorating due to early-onset Alzheimer’s. It is so sad for me and my parents, especially. I am concerned for myself and your video is enlightening and helpful.
I love your videos. My father has last stage dementia. I am trying to keep myself from having dementia. I have learned so much about eating healthy.
Dr.Ekberg, I appreciate the effort and time you put into your videos. You taught me so much. May God continue working through you
Meditation is not the only, or, for some people, the best stress reducer. Prayer is much better for a lot of people. It's very stress-busting to rest in God's love.
We mediate by 5 prayers in a day, keeping fast, reading Quraan and prayering
Meditation is a form of prayer for a lot of people who practice.
My grandmother just passed away from alzheimer's last night. The last six months have been terrible as we have watched her go through the final stages. If I can prevent this in my life then I’m going to do my best. The more research I do supports everything you said in this video. Thank you for sharing!
Very sorry for your loss. It’s a terrible thing to endure. We have so much more information now than when my grandfather passed from Alzheimer’s. Knowing that we can control some of the risk factors, we can make better choices for ourselves and encourage our family members to join us.
So sorry for your loss. My Aunt and grandfather died from it. Im having symptoms. Are you having any symptoms. If you are or not “The End of Alzheimer's Program: The First Protocol to Enhance Cognition and Reverse Decline at Any Age” Read it. This neurologist has researched this condition for 30+ year. His research has been published.
God bless you. My mom and grandmom both died with this condition. My grandmother was diagnosed with actual Alzheimer's, but I don't think my mom got a diagnosis for what caused her decline. Very painful when it happens to someone you love. I had a good relationship with both of them, and I miss both of them.
Very good to see info about how I might be able to minimize and prevent decline in my own case.
💕🙏🏽💕🙏🏽💕🙏🏽💕🙏🏽💕🙏🏽💕🙏🏽💕
Very sorry for you loss. Can you tell me how long she lasted with dementia. My mom is in second year.
Thank you for taking the trouble to explain this so well.
Tremendous effort has been taken in the creation of the video.Heart felt thanks and appreciation.
Out of all the programs on Alzheimer's that I've seen on UA-cam, yours is the only one with reliable, and thorough information. You cover the causes, and how to alleviate them. Thank-you so much! Richard Gamble
Thank you for the clear and concise and excellent information.
Oddly enough I googled dementia this morning. I am of the age where it is a concern. You made it seem like we have hope of some ammunition so as not to succumb to memory loss.
Dr Ekberg, you are a WONDERFUL teacher. I have learned so much thru your videos. They also help to reinforce what I do know as well as keeping me encouraged. Thank you so much xx
Wow. I learned more in this video than any other video of yours. I've been watching your videos for years and I always learn something new from them. But this one was outrageously informative. Life changing. Applicable.thank you so so so much.
This is simply excellent, the best video I've seen on this subject. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg. What a tremendous public service you're providing. ❤
I love it! I love this video! You mentioned that it's never too late to learn. I'm in total agreement with that fact. I believe learning is a lifetime endeavor. At age 53, I'm a lot smarter than I was 5, 10, 20, and definitely 30 years ago. It seems as if the older I get, the smarter I get. Most would say the opposite. I use to be a terrible math student in elementary school and all through college. Now I'm very decent in math and striving to become better. I'm also learning Spanish. The emergence of UA-cam and various learning apps has really helped me.
Amazing video..De Eckberg is so gifted in bringing tons of complex info together...and presenting it in an easy to understand format..plus he really does his homework!He is literally changing and saving lives
Best I found on the subject. Knowing your craft is one talent, clearly explaining it is even more important and complectly different talent. Thank you Dr. Ekberg, THANK YOU!!!!
An absolutely brilliant commentary of an extremely complicated subject.The good doctor broke down and explained all the humungously complex factors and their connections to variously seriously complicated issues, that can affect the proper functioning of the brain. Simplified the explanation broke it down into layman’s language and what’s more how everyday problems stress alcohol smoking physical activity and ,yes,in an an earlier video ,a persons GAIT, is an indicator of dementia! Wow! Never knew this! Many of us have experienced one or the other,or more of the factors that contribute to the onset of dementia and just treated them symptomatically if at all. But he has made us realise that there are a number of things we need to do to keep the brain healthy and God willing we may be fit and well now ,firing all cylinders ,but we all have to take care that it stays this ways.Thanks so much doc for showing us the way to take good care of a much neglected organ,our BRAIN !
Your videos are SO well done, thank you. It's early morning, while making sour dough my choice was; listen to you or watch the news, I pick YOU everytime.
I believe even 100 million views are less for this excellent presentation. Thank you doctor for a life-changing advice.
Thank you so much ! How lucky your patients are and I feel lucky to have come across your channel.
thank you!!! I am so happy to have found your channel....believe you me...I am starting right away. Yrs ago I had a bad fall where my head hit the floor hard and I am what you are describing...now, Thanks to You...I can start helping myself!!! Thank You❤
Thanks doc, appreciate the simple and calm way you've explained it to all of us.
My mother is 87 and my father is almost 91 but no dementia.
Hi Donna that’s good to hear, I have a question if you don’t mind answering, do you think it’s good genetics or is it the lifestyle they have lead or a combination of the two?
@@keithwilkinson2630 sorry for not responding. I've just got your question today. It's a lifestyle of not only eating vegetables but also using ur brains. Have a blessed day 🙏
Thank you for sharing, at 84 I’ve still got all my facilities and very active and very well read of everything and dementia and this was really great as we have four generations of dementia and I am doing everything I can I still have perfect hearing eyesight work out especially well not diabetic so I really felt good watching your video lots of hope. Amen thanks again
Thank you Dr. Elbert. This is probably one of the best videos that I have ever seen on the topic. Clear, realistic and professional. I have lived with Parkinson’s for 6 years. I try to follow my Dr’s recommendations of exercise, discipline with medication and balanced diet. Do you have any further comment for cases like mine? I have participated in groups to research relation between memory and Parkinson’s. That has included mental drills and mindfulness work. It has been not miraculous but I really feel more motivated with mindfulness. As to physical exercise, I try to exercise (walking, balance and stretching therapy) 5-6 days per week, it is clear how exercise kind of makes me feel less depressed and with clearer memory. I hope that I can maintain the level of motivation that I have reached not to stop lighting with the progress of PD.
My freindìs mom has dementia but no one of indicated risk factros are present,she is 84 now ,and wearing removable dentures.I remember one study which linked dementia to teeth loss ,sometning like "a normal chewing process stimulates brain actitvity,it also stimulates it differently if we chew on one or anothes sides,means not only chewing but also altrenating right-left chewing brings benefit to the brain and slowing significatively dementia".So,fasting is ok,but don't forget to chew to prevent dementia :-).Be well and sane everybody.
The getting up and moving part is so underrated, I spent the last year feeling depressed and hopeless because of a lot of stuff from a death in the family to my anxieties and my fear and depression controlling me for a whole year, this easter I went out for a walk once every day for 4 days straight, and all my thoughts that had occupied my brain and played on constant loop for the past year became so quiet in comparison.
Today it was day 2 since I walked last and I felt the thoughts coming back, but after forcing myself out of that mode and going to exercise I didn't feel as tired, and my thoughts went away again... if I can combo this with better nutrition I'm sure I'll beat this mindset
Read "Dopamine Nation", the author mentioned that radical honesty can be the mental training we need to regulate our intrusive thoughts with our prefrontal cortex.
Exercise is as effective if not more effective than medication for anxiety and depression
God bless you! In addition to walking and looking at God’s creation,if you have a Bible start reading the book of John and the Psalms.
@@Lisa-ow2re Agreed, Jesus to forgive and uplift/encourage me, singing praise, turning away from sugar/carbs even 1 choice @ a time until weeks or more going w/o, a blender to increase veggie intake and joining a planet fitness which wasnt a pain but nice because of the variety of equipment, has changed my thoughts quickly.
yes! brain health and *mental health* go hand in hand. Exercise is fantastic for the whole of the body and mind, i have found in my sixty years on planet earth! ( I didn't have a car on purpose for twenty five years, i think that really paid big health dividends). Of course, it really helps if your city has good public transport system, and if you can walk to some of the places you need to get to. Winter time is a bit more of a challenge to go outside and walk, but i just bought a two step wooden stool. I notice if i spend ten minutes mindfully ( ie counting my step ups and moving only in a clockwise direction throughout) i can get warm enough to attempt going outside into the very cold winds we have here. Also, its a very calming thing to count while keeping to the clockwise pattern i found...
Excellent observation: Labels do not describe other labels. Excellent work in counseling the aging - myself, just past 60, but I know, "Now is the time." Thanks again!
For me this info was precious, especially the summary 24:40 (mental exercise vs physical exercise) -- physical will help so much to headstart brain network connections; dementia produces unmotivated people (for me doing routine exercises except leisure walking is so hard but doing mental puzzles are easier and fun (mental work great but staying sedentary is not beneficial) -- I will have to start stepping more!
Excellent presentation. I took a couple of neuroscience courses in college and had no problem following your presentation. I'm 75 and have some of those health issues that you listed but I do not have dementia yet. I exercise and speak French, Hebrew and Spanish. Trying to learn Yiddish currently. I read a lot. Your presentation was very, very helpful.
My blessed Mother died from this horrific disease……..🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. I miss her so very much. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I have relationships with so many seniors in a senior living community that may be helped by all of your info you've presented here, Dr Stenberg. I so hope, as some of them are very dear to me, that I can bring this to them to help any symptoms or keep at bay those same symptoms.
Thank you, Dr Sten. You put a lot of effort into making such a comprehensive discussion on such an important topic.
Dr. Ekberg, I'm quite late to this video and you will likely not see my comment. However, I did want to take this moment to acknowledge how amazing this video presentation was. This was a high quality level presentation. There were facts, there were details, but truly, it was the format that allowed for the information to shine. I appreciated that you started with the ice breaker story - touching, sad, and so true. From there, it motivates the audience to learn more about dementia and what can be done to reverse or slow its progress. Excellent visual presentation as well. I loved the step by step layering of information, the repetition, and the different anecdotes that made it memorable. You've also helped people to remember that the first step is the physical movement (which I too, always thought it was mental activity first!) followed the mental activity. I truly appreciate this life changing information. All the best to you. I plan to watch the rest of your videos!
The stress mode thing of the body prioritizing the brain stem over the brain..... I watched my sailing buddy lose his temper and progressively flip out on his sailboat when we failed at docking......he absolutely raged.... in the end he couldn't think at all, just stopped and said "I just don't know what to do" and I had to take over and cut a mooring line away.
I think you just explained what happened to him in half a sentence.
Now I'm off out to exercise and restarting my fasting today in fact right now as its 14:30 and I've not eaten yet. Gonna do my old normal 36hrs.
Thanks
Bill
I found this extremely interesting and so well presented. You have a great way of delivering and explaining these tough topics
I learned so much from your segment. Never realized how important exercise is in preventing dementia. Thank you so very much.
Marguerite
I am RN specializing in dementia care. I work with wealthy dementia patients who can afford specialized care. Most of my dementia patients are very educated, world travelers/hikers, professor emeritus, inventors, successful business owners, etc... I do not agree that less education as a risk factor for dementia. The correlation between less education versus dementia may be just a correlation without association...in whatever study they did. Dementia is horrible; may God keep us all healthy and safe! BTW, Dementia is considered as Type 3 diabetes, some believe insulin dysregulation in the brain causes dementia.
I agree. My father is also educated. Maybe lack of continued education could be a factor. A lot of folks stop their learning post graduation. Like the good doctor is proposed we need to constantly challenge the brain with mental activity. Continued education could be one way.
Agreed.Honourable Doctor has shown possibility to cure it but there is no Thumb rule,yet,in medical science.
Hi Peace,
You only see well off people because it's the most expensive form of illness totalling more than heart disease and cancer combined. No wonder it's the fastest growing disease.
I also work with dementia elder people. They are highly educated, and something they have in common is high blood sugar. Funny though, none is diagnosed with diabetes.
Are your patients all taking statins?
I lived through your description in the beginning of this video. I had a severe TBI back in the mid 80's and when I came out of the coma I was literally like that for months. I was totally lost in space for quite awhile.
Went to therapy for a decade. Did a lot of reading, I've rewired my synopsis pretty well I think because I was able to have a career and family that my therapists told me that I'd never be able to do. I went back to the Rusk Institute to speak with my counselors and Doctors to let them know what I had accomplished, but they were already all gone. Thanks for this informative video, it reminds me that I have to keep fit and lay off the booze, because I'm not too thrilled about my chances of avoiding dementia and Alzheimer's.
GOOD FOR YOU!! You're probably doing these things - which accounts for your success, but maybe someone else will see this.
Just keep active (frequent regular exercise), plenty of regular high QUALITY SLEEP, build & keep active social connections, eat healthy & read (or whatever uses the brain actively & often). Those are at the top of all the lists & resources I've studied.
This is GREAT INFO !!!
I've noticed that since I've been exercising a lot more my memory for where I put my keys etc. Is far improved ! I also noticed that when my exercise includes whole body movements it is much more effective than when I issolate my exercise to small groups of muscles.
Thank you, Doctor. Your vlogs truly save lives
Your videos are like lectures in continuing education on health and fitness. You do a great public service. If you were on Patreon, I'd contribute there.
Thanks dr Ekberg for your unconditional advice and guidance. When you talked about gait and dementia then I realized that you are going to repair more synapses than all my doctors, in the neurological field, tried to no avail the past 28 years after my cranium fracture. You are a super doctor with all the education. Please give more talks about keto, exercise, autophagy, sleep and brain axons.
This will help
“The End of Alzheimer's Program: The First Protocol to Enhance Cognition and Reverse Decline at Any Age”
Read it. Dr Bredersen is a neurologist that has researched this condition for 30+ year. His research has been published. Dr Ekberg does a good job but it’s MUCH more complicated and will take some work but it’s doable.
WOW
This is one of the most important videos on the internet.
It touches every person on this planet., in some way or association.
Basically I learned that all of the bad choices in life come home to roost in the brain.
Instead of just talking about dementia, this doctor hands out tools.
Thanks !
Thank you for a most informative, intelligent and logical explanation of dementia. Your voice is clear and using understandable language at a moderate speed, you made your presentation captivating. The information given is invaluable, it presents honest truth and reasonable hope. Thank you.
in his 80s my dad developed dementia. first he was widowed and then retired from work and became more sedentary. within 3 years or so the dementia intensified and in his final 2.5 years of life he needed a daily carer to assist him. in the final few months of life he stopped talking. passed away january 2020. thanks for sharing, doctor.
Would love a video on rebounding and its impact on health. Ive been using a cellersizer for 7+ years now. It strengthens our cells with little damage to our joints!
Thank you Dr Ekberg! This gives me lots of hope. I am nearly 71 years old. I have some hearing loss. I have been a bit forgetful at times. Still, I am motivated. I exercise regularly. I walk most days. I am retired. I have a part time job, mostly to stay engaged. I like to learn new things.
Thanks again Dr. Ekberg for educating us to become more healthy!! Great Channel!! Great Information!!!
My sister has memory loss, her husband and daughter day there’s nothing to be done - but my gut feeling is that some of it is caused by several of the things mentioned in this presentation: her hearing loss from birth, retirement from infant teaching where she had structure and meaning, over-protection, et etc. Thank you for giving me hope for her if ever I am able (and allowed) to help her…
Wow! I love the direction you took in this video! You incorporated the same truthful message you always do but you targeted our brain instead of our body. This message totally changed my understanding and perspective. The simple truth is I can accept being overweight but I cannot accept losing my memories and family!
So let's address the body to save what is most precious my thoughts, memories and the knowing and loving of my family.
Thank you.
yes!!!!
Thank you for stopping my worry and now I know I can do something to change it. ❤️
I love your invaluable information and watch you almost every day! Thank you! It’s saving lives! It’s saving me!
Superb As someone who is helping someone get better I have had to learn all of your video in segments from multiple sources and can only agree with everything you state based on my practical experiences. From this I have identified the last (i hope) avenue (hypertension and stress) that we will have to improve. Each one of your line items deserves a detailed in depth video , then people will be able to do .what is necessary for each separate individual, and understand why and how.
Thank you BRIAN ATTWOOD. I appreciate your feedback. I haven't checked specifically, but I think I probably already have a separate video for each. Make sure you check out my video library and let me know if there is one missing. There are over 400 videos organized by topic and play list. 😄 ua-cam.com/channels/Ie2pR6PE0dae9BunJ38F7w.html
I have been diagnosed with early onset dementia , along with changing my diet I have stayed busy in my workshop building and fixing things as that was my career for 50 years, it has been a good thing to keep my brain busy looking at how to solve problems etc. as long as you are physically able this is just one way to exercise your brain, a side note to this story is the fact that we have an advantage living in a time where we have access to satellite navigation , I have had to go to that option more and more for the "bad days" when I am out and about and get stressed, never thought I would get confused about finding my daughter's house! right now I could draw out a perfect map to that destination but I was having a bad day and got to within a quarter mile and that was it, just stay cool and make sure you keep your phone charged up!
Very detailed, easy to understand, and very helpful.. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg!
