Jim Goetz and Dr. Mike Brandon get together for another health and nutrition talk.
What is it? With nutrition we typically think of weight loss, what about brain loss? Dementia from brain degeneration Physiology Slow onset Prevention and a healthy lifestyle is key Amyloid plaques/tau proteins Clumped protein, sticky, kills nerve cell and neuronal connections Nerves don't innervate other neurons, they become unhealthy-progression of dz Causes many “mini strokes”. Berry aneurysms when bad- acute dementia Causes? Genetic- nope Parents have it- its shared lifestyle- we get from parents/family African American's in Nigeria- 5x less likely then Indianapolis, Indiana- nurture not nature TBI Head Trauma- Neuro-inflammation Post concussion syndrome- symptoms yrs later Major contributor for many neurological disorders Vascular- the big one Cranial atherosclerosis appears #1 cause of alzheimers/dementia Less blood flow, no O2, neurons die 1quart blood in brain a min 15-20% less by 65yrs Silent “mini strokes” brain atrophies and plaques Berry aneurysms- acute dementia Risk factors- high BP/cholesterol, DM Nutrition High sugar/cholesterol Pro inflam/atherosclerosis Heavy metals- copper- multi vits unless tested to need it DM type 2/ “Type 3” 15-20x more likely for alzheimers Insulin resistance increases amyloid plaque Oxidized cholesterol Beta oxidation of fats Have your veggies/antioxidants sugar/trans/sat fats except sterate and laureate (lowers LDL) Chronic Poor Sleep- Glyphatic system Damaged tau proteins get cleaned in deep sleep Turn to plaque, cell death “Graveyard shift” Higher rate for heart dz, stroke, DM, dementia, CA Circadian rhythm needs regulation and ran by light Eating late- dietary circadian rhythm, not as much as tv/cell light Prevention/symptom assistance Low Carb/Swank diet/keto Made for neuro- myelin sheath/ketones Mediterranean lowest alzheimers rate olives/fish/veggies Fasting Brain Derived Neurotropic Factor learning/memory, makes hippocampus cells Neurons more resistant to stressors/oxidation Autophagy of plauqes/dead cells Lowers insulin resistance/sugar levels Turmeric/saffron Slows inflammation, slows amyloid production as effective as medications Donepezil (Aricept) and Memantine (Namenda without SIDE EFFECTS in mild/mod/severe Alzhimers L Citroline- NOS Increases blood flow to brain-O2, slows plaquing Inversion therapy, reading, regular exercise, Healthy lifestyle www.functionised.com |
