“To aid with his research in this area, Dr. D'Agostino is developing ketone supplements – ketone esters and ketone mineral salts. In this clip, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino describes his research into the role of ketosis and ketone supplements in stabilizing brain energy metabolism.”

“Much of this evidence comes from cells or animals, including research on oxidative damage in the aged rat brain, so these areas are best viewed as mechanistic leads rather than established oral-supplement benefits in people.”

“Meditation, in its various forms, has powerful effects on the brain and body. In this second part of our two-part series on meditation, we'll discuss some of the different ways to engage in meditation as well as some of its parallel practices, such as running or communing with nature.”

“Dr. Patrick also connects glucose regulation with brain health. In a cohort of cognitively healthy adults ages 60 to 64 without diabetes, higher fasting glucose within the conventional normal range was associated with greater hippocampal and amygdala atrophy over four years.”

“Tau helps stabilize the fibers, or axons, that nerve cells send out to communicate with their neighbors. > However, during trauma, large numbers of these proteins are shaken free from the axons to drift in the space between the brain's cells.”

“A new study shows that cigarette smoking reduces brain volume, accelerating normal brain aging. Researchers investigated the relationship between smoking and brain volume in more than 32,000 adults enrolled in the UK Biobank study.”

“The blood-brain barrier is a highly selective semi-permeable barrier made up of endothelial cells connected via tight junctions. This barrier separates the circulating blood from the brain's extracellular fluid and prevents the entry of substances that may be neurotoxic.”

“However, if the microglia failed to recognize the APP or candidalysin, the fungus persisted in the brain, eliciting damage to neuronal tissues. Amyloid precursor protein occurs naturally in the body, particularly in brain tissues.”

“Resistance training (twice a week for 6 months) slowed brain shrinkage in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and even led to brain growth in other areas of the brain. This is the first time that resistance training has been shown to prevent brain atrophy in MS patients.”

“The structural integrity of the blood-brain barrier is therefore critical for homeostatic maintenance of the brain microenvironment. The study involved 43 patients (average age 58 years) who had been diagnosed with cerebral small vessel disease, as evidenced by having experienced a stroke or demonstrating mild cognitive impairment.”
