“The study involved more than 12,000 cognitively healthy older adults. Researchers gathered information about the participants' vitamin D supplementation practices and whether they developed Alzheimer's over 10 years.”

“The combination increased the concentration of growth factors and number of synapses in the hippocampus, the brain region most affected by Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, and stroke.”

“Neurological benefits: Alzheimer's disease: Improves cognition, strengthens blood-brain barrier, reduces amyloid-beta and tau. Parkinson's disease: Decreases dopamine cell loss, reduces inflammation, improves motor function, reverses depression and anxiety behaviors.”

“The loss of synapses promotes the collapse of neural networks important for memory and cognition and drive the dementia associated with Alzheimer's disease. Key players in synaptic integrity are synaptic proteins, which play critical roles in neurotransmission and neuronal development.”

“Currently, only nicotinamide riboside has been shown to raise plasma NAD+ levels and may possibly have beneficial health effects in humans. Future research, focused on "super boosters," may have relevance for treating complex diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer's.”

“Endotoxin has been shown to cause neuroinflammation and may explain why control mice that were given a fecal transplant with gut bacteria from "Alzheimer's mice" had amyloid beta plaque accumulation in their brains.”

“Nearly 65 percent of the participants were at high risk for developing Alzheimer's disease, having at least one parent diagnosed with the condition. Each of the participants underwent cognitive assessment and BDNF genotyping five times over a period of four to 11 years.”

“Temperature, duration, hydration, health status, and tolerance matter; more heat is not inherently better. This clip is excerpted, with permission, from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's presentation at the 2024 CrossFit for Health Summit.”

“This disorder causes inflammation in the brain and other tissues driving chronic conditions such as Alzheimer's and cardiovascular diseases. In this Aliquot, we discuss some of the dietary and lifestyle factors that may prevent leaky gut.”

“Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, affecting more than 55 million people worldwide. People with Alzheimer's disease often experience altered circadian rhythms, manifesting as altered sleep/wake cycles and difficulty in falling and staying asleep.”
