“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.”

“APOE4 is the strongest common genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease, while physical activity, sleep, blood pressure, and diet remain important modifiable influences across the lifespan. Nutrition may offer additional support.”

“In a 12-week randomized crossover trial, a modified ketogenic diet produced sustained physiological ketosis and improved daily function and quality of life compared with a usual diet supplemented with low-fat healthy-eating guidance.”

“Another study suggests that intermittent fasting combined with exercise training increased serum ketone levels, increased the number of mitochondria in muscle cells, and improved endurance. In this clip, Dr. Mark Mattson describes how fasting and exercise work together to promote brain health.”

“Reversing the Cardiac Effects of Sedentary Aging in Middle Age—A Randomized Controlled Trial - In sedentary middle-aged adults, 2 years of regular exercise improved heart function and reduced heart stiffness, potentially lowering future heart failure risk.”

“You may have first heard about Dr. Attia from his two interviews that have been on the Tim Ferriss show, or from any number of popular presentations he's given that were filmed and put online.”

“00:34:40 - Repeated traumatic brain injury has cumulative neuroinflammatory effects in the brain over years, including amyloid-beta plaque and tau tangle formation. Study. 00:44:00 - A variant of the APOE gene increases risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease as much as 15-fold.”

“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.”

“Whereas fasting turns off multiple pathways associated with aging, such as mTOR, IGF-1, growth hormone, and others, eating for optimal fitness activates these important processes. This Aliquot features Drs. Guido Kroemer, Dominic D'Agostino, Valter Longo, Peter Attia, and Rhonda Patrick.”

“Convincing animal data and preliminary research in patients with early cognitive decline have shown positive outcomes using strategies to overcome insulin resistance. In this clip, Dr. Peter Attia explains his position on the relationship between insulin resistance and Alzheimer’s disease risk.”
