“Addressing key factors such as diet, inflammation, insulin resistance, exercise, intermittent fasting, and sleep optimization seem to be most promising for preventing Alzheimer’s disease and slowing its progression.”

“Insulin and glucose Insulin regulates glucose homeostasis, primarily by promoting the uptake of glucose into muscle and adipose tissue. Repeated treatment with a far-infrared sauna has been shown to significantly lower fasting blood glucose levels.”

“The revelation that 70% of FDA drugs are subject to circadian effects and are either less effective or more effective at certain times of the day. The effect melatonin has on the pancreatic production of insulin and the insight this lends to why we should probably stop eating at least 2-3 hours before we go to bed.”

“Evidence suggests that metformin inhibits mitochondrial adaptations and improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness and diminishes whole-body insulin sensitivity after aerobic exercise.”

“Their findings reveal that obesity-induced changes to the epigenome -- reversible chemical 'tags' on DNA -- are surprisingly similar in mice and humans, and might provide a new route to prevention and treatment of the disease, which affects hundreds of millions worldwide.”

“It also aligns with the findings of a previous analysis, which found that compared to women who took a placebo, those who took supplemental omega-3s had considerably lower fasting blood sugar levels and insulin resistance.”

“Liver and pancreas fat did not stay reduced. Reductions in visceral fat during the intervention were linked to more favorable markers of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome severity. Only visceral fat loss showed a clear diabetes risk signal.”

“There are several probable mechanisms by which obesity increases cancer risk: higher levels of IGF-1, increased insulin, hormones, inflammation and DNA damage.”

“As insulin resistance worsens, blood sugar levels become chronically elevated, leading to long-term remodeling of the blood-brain barrier. Changes include the thickening of membranes, a reduction of blood flow, and increased permeability.”

“Dr. Patrick also distinguishes general-population evidence from people with diabetes or insulin resistance, where some observational studies report different risk patterns and residual confounding remains substantial.”
