“Clinical trials have unearthed evidence that is suggestive of the possibility that amyloid-beta build-up in the brain may be being attenuated, as well as an improvement in cognitive function in people with Alzheimer’s disease.”

“Dr. Patrick also describes a proposed anti-metastatic mechanism: faster blood flow during vigorous exercise increases shear forces on circulating tumor cells, the cells that have left a primary tumor and entered the bloodstream.”

“Sleep is the most critical pillar of health, cognition, and performance. Yet most people don't understand how to do it right. Dr. Michael Grandner, a renowned sleep expert, Director of the Sleep and Health Research Program at the University of Arizona, and consultant to both patients and professional athletes, bridges the gap between academia and real-world applications of sleep science.”

“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.”

“Dr. Rhonda Patrick reviews structural and functional brain effects of alcohol. UK Biobank data associated greater intake with lower gray- and white-matter volume. Structure does not map perfectly to cognition, and association does not prove causation.”

“As the blood-brain barrier breaks down, whether as a part of aging or neurodegenerative disease, immune cells, inflammatory cytokines, toxic proteins, and red blood cells gain access to the brain from the blood and contribute to cognitive dysfunction.”

“They also showed slower decline in overall cognition and memory, but the study did not find similar differences for word-finding or speed-related tasks.”

Zinc is an essential nutrient that influences growth and development and plays critical roles in immune function, protein synthesis, wound healing, DNA synthesis, and cell division.
