I want to talk about some interesting

things related to an Alzheimer’s brain

what is the essence of Alzheimer’s well

the brain is composed of neurons okay

and you have these little synapse or gap

between these neurons which the

communication travels through here you

have certain electrical impulses that

occur now the interesting thing about

the brain is it only represents 2% of

all the tissues but it takes up 20% of

all the fuel so it’s a fuel hog yet it’s

not like pumping like your heart is or

your muscles again it’s not contracting

it’s just sitting there it’s not like

the kidney where it’s filtering blood or

the liver that’s doing all these

metabolic things so really what it’s

doing it’s taking chemistry and

converting it into electrical energy and

send signals and information throughout

different parts of the brain to create

different effects throughout the entire

body so it’s an electrical organ so the

essence of Alzheimer’s is basically

atrophy shrinkage of the neuron and

you’re losing the synapses so if we look

a little bit further we find out the

reason why is because they’re starving

to death okay they’re starving of low

glucose which is their fuel so basically

that’s what Alzheimer’s is and we also

have other things going on we have some

plaquing going on it’s a protein plaque

we have glycation which is another type

of sticky protein that’s plugging things

up and we also have a loss of oxygen now

the oxygen your brain is mostly used for

the oxidation of glucose and this is

mainly why you need a lot of oxygen

there are certain tests that can be done

to measure the brains consumption of

oxygen and the consumption of glucose

now if you wanted to check the

metabolism of glucose you would want to

just check the cerebral metabolic rate

and there’s a test that you can do you

can check with your doctor maybe they

can do that because here’s the thing

Alzheimer’s starts like in your 20s or

30s and it starts out

completely asymptomatic there are no

symptoms at all yet you’re having a

problem with your metabolic rate of

glucose okay and oxygen and there’s

certain parts of the brain that are

affected more than others the most

common area of the brain that’s affected

is the hippocampus this is part of the

brain that controls that like it’s like

the relay switch into your database so

if you have damage in the hippocampus

you’re gonna have a problem with memory

and learning and spatial memory trying

to find out where you parked in the

parking lot or where did you put your

keys so many people develop memory

problems early on they don’t realize

that it could be the start of this

condition now another interesting thing

about the brain of Alzheimer’s is that

in the brain you have low insulin but

outside the brain in the periphery you

have high insulin so obviously you also

have high blood glucose that’s outside

the brain but inside the brain

specifically in the neurons it’s going

to be low so everything is opposite and

I think you already know this but they

always talk about diabetes being

associated with Alzheimer’s like their

cousin diseases and they both seem to

share things in common like insulin

resistance now that’s all very

interesting but now what can we do with

that information okay let’s say for

example you have Alzheimer’s or you have

a loved one that has Alzheimer’s or you

want to prevent it well there’s a couple

of very important things you need to

know and that is this if your insulin is

high outside your body which most of the

time it’s going to be if you’re

consuming the regular diet that most

people consume you’re not going to be

able to run the brain on the alternative

fuel that your brain loves that actually

will increase the oxygen that will

improve the neurogenesis or the

generation of neurons that will improve

the antioxidants which will also lessen

the inflammation and improve the

cognition but

can’t run on ketones as an alternative

feel if the insulin is too high and if

the glucose is too high so this is the

problem you’re stuck with glucose but

the problem is you can’t absorb it

because the whole mechanism is broken

okay so this is what you need to do to

prevent it and also to lessen the

symptoms if you have it ketones you want

to start running the brain on ketones

ketones have the ability to bypass this

damage absorptive mechanism and feed the

neurons directly and start to improve

this area right here the other thing

that’s pretty dramatic if you’re

starting to get dementia or you have

Alzheimer’s is to actually start taking

ketones directly okay and you can take

them as exhaustion as ketones or MCT oil

in addition to doing in a minute fasting

if you’re new to my channel click the

link down below and you can learn more

about it but those are the things that

you need to really focus on to really

start to undo some of this damage now

there is a point of no return and if you

do research on the associations for

Alzheimer’s there’s no known cause

there’s no known cure you can’t do

anything we’re still doing research well

I just want let you know there is some

good research out there that you can’t

improve this I put some links down below
