22: Fasting & Keto for Alzheimer's [Impressive Results!]
Alzheimer's is a devastating illness, and getting more and more common. Until recently, it was considered irreversible, but that’s starting to change. In this episode I’ll explain how fasting and a low-carb diet fit into Alzheimer’s treatment or prevention, and the type of results you could expect to see. This is based on a program developed by Dr. Dale Bredesen, a neurologist who’s been researching Alzheimer’s for several years. Dr. Bredesen and his team have been successful at preventing Alzheimer's, reversing early cases, and even seeing noticeable improvement in advanced cases. Nutrition is at the foundation of their program. With that in mind, I’ll explain the two main underlying causes of Alzheimer's (in most cases), and how fasting and ketosis are effective ways of treating both causes. I’ll also summarize Dr. Bredesen’s “KetoFlex 12-3” protocol. If you have early Alzheimer’s, or you’re just trying to prevent it, I think this will give you some useful tools!
