“A recent study found that people who eat more nitrate from vegetables show fewer signs of early brain changes associated with Alzheimer's. Researchers analyzed data from more than 500 cognitively healthy older adults living in Australia.”

“The most significant drivers of cardiac disease are smoking, hypertension and elevated APOB, a biomarker of LDL particle number. However, less is known about Alzheimer's disease, whose incidence is rising year after year.”

“Eating a typical Western diet – high in processed foods and sugar-sweetened beverages – raises blood glucose and insulin levels, promotes inflammation, and contributes to many neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease.”

“Heat shock proteins have been shown to prevent and slow the progression of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, slow human muscle atrophy, and are associated with human longevity.”

“Ketone esters are exogenous ketone bodies that may promote ketosis in humans. Animal models demonstrate that ketone esters exert beneficial effects in Alzheimer's disease, effectively reducing amyloid accumulation, neurofibrillary tangles, and tau, while improving learning and memory.”

“Zinc deficiency puts a person at risk for a subtype of Alzheimer's disease and poor immune function. In this Aliquot, Drs. Dale Bredesen and Rhonda Patrick describe some of the many roles that zinc plays in human health.”

“Dr. Patrick begins with a prospective Finnish cohort in which men reporting four to seven sauna sessions per week had lower dementia and Alzheimer's disease incidence than men reporting one session. The study is observational, male-only, and cannot prove that sauna caused the lower risk.”

“And one potential strategy for mitigating our risk for Alzheimer's disease as we age is a "cognoscopy" – a battery of assessments that measures some of the key biomarkers associated with the disease and can inform the trajectory of treatment.”

“This episode of the Aliquot features FoundMyFitness guests with expertise in fields including lipid metabolism, Alzheimer's disease, and micronutrient biochemistry sharing their recommendations regarding blood tests that a person should consider adding to their yearly checkup.”

“The loss of hippocampal neurogenesis (the formation of new neurons) is an early indicator of Alzheimer's disease. A recent study in rats shows that gut microbial transplants from people with Alzheimer's inhibit hippocampal neurogenesis and impair memory.”
