so in this video we’re going to talk

about your memory in the hippocampus

okay what is the hippocampus hippocampus

is a structure in the brain there’s

actually two hippocampus is there

structure in the middle part of the

brain and they come from the Greek word

which means seahorse because they look

like seahorses okay they have a role in

memory short-term long-term memory and

spatial memory which is navigation so

let’s say for example you’re gonna find

out where you parked your car like if

you have a hard time finding that or

locating yourself in time in space so

let’s say you’re someone gives you

directions and you just cannot find your

way through town that’s why I have a GPS

right but the point is that this right

here is controlled by the hippocampus if

you lose the function of the hippocampus

you develop Alzheimer’s so they don’t

know exactly what the type of campus

does but they do know it has a role in

memory and retrieving data okay so

that’s all I know

dementia so you get dementia a loss of

memory and realize that Alzheimer’s

starts really early in life like in your

30s you start having memory loss and it

gets worse and worse and worse and worse

I believe it starts in the womb because

when your mother is carrying you and

she’s eating junk food or a lot of carbs

and then you get put on formula and not

breastfed I think that can set you up

for Alzheimer’s that’s just my theory

because of what I’m going to tell you

right now the way that you destroy the

hippocampus is you load it up with too

much insulin and of course you know

sugar in the diet so too much insulin or

too much sugar will cause the shrinkage

of your hippocampus so it’s really

important in them if you’re pregnant or

you’re gonna have kids to make sure that

we keep the carbs to a normal level not

go overboard you want to specially do

quality carbs and then the formula is

just filled with sugar so you want to do

breastfeeding and if you can’t you need

to make your own formula to make sure

it’s really high quality and I’m gonna

put a link down below if you are in that

situation so I really believe it starts

very very

life and that can set you up for a

weakness so you want the bad news or the

good news first let me give you the bad

news I already told you high insulin

causes an atrophy of your hippocampus

okay that’s one piece of bad news but

the other piece is high cortisol will

shrink your hippocampus so it’s a

combination of stress and sugar okay and

refined carbs that’s what does it

that’s what affects the memory now let’s

shift to the good news all right here’s

the good news the hippocampus is one of

the only areas in the brain that can

experience neurogenesis in other words

it can it can actually grow back you can

actually make new nerve cells in your

hippocampus that’s exciting

so regardless of where what happened to

you as a kid you can still improve

things greatly and one of the ways that

the body does it is through something

called BDNF that’s called brain derived

neurotrophic factor which basically is a

brain chemical that helps the

communication between the brain cells

the synapses okay and the way that you

trigger this is there’s actually five

ways fasting is the most important and

most powerful method of regrowing your

brain okay especially the hippocampus

you can actually stimulate stem cells

which is basically undifferentiated kind

of like cells without a purpose that can

turn into new brain tissue and as we age

it goes down but if you do prolong

fasting so fasting a little bit longer

every so often you can greatly improve

your brain apparently when you don’t eat

your body helps the brain get smarter to

find food that’s it’s a survival

mechanism so it’s not good to eat so

frequently and then some people want to

know like how do I know if I have high

insulin very simple look down right now

if you see that you have a belly you

have high insulin if you do click the

link down below you’ll see a link that

says healthy keto in a minute fasting

start watching those videos and learning

about how to do it and you can actually

flatten the stomach through gate

lowering

normalising insulin through food all

right so now we have number two aerobic

exercise can actually help you expand

and increase the size of your

hippocampus that’s cool

this is walking I’ve been telling you

this for a long time going these long

walks several times a week very very

important because you get all this

oxygen with low cortisol low stress

very cool number three vitamin b1

thiamine if you’re deficient in b12 set

you up for Alzheimer’s because it

creates damage within the mitochondria

which is the energy factory within the

brain so that’s what sets the whole

thing off

so b1 apparently protects the cells and

other factors in the brain against the

side effects and damage so b1 is very

very important in preventing dementia if

you look up something called beriberi

you’ll see one of the side effects of b1

is memory loss this is why so how do you

become b1 deficient by consuming too

many refined carbohydrates and sugars

you need to start taking b1 I like

nutritional yeast because that is a

natural source you can do synthetic but

also do nutritional use the same time

because you don’t want to do synthetic

for a long period of time

I do recommend synthetic for short-term

periods whether you’re doing a detox or

some type of program but make sure you

have the other complex with it so you

don’t create an imbalance and before

avoid stress okay that’s lowering

cortisol user said than done but you got

to work on that alright number five

lower the carbs run your body on ketones

that is an alternative fuel you and your

body doesn’t have enough carbs it’s

forced to burn your own fat the by

project that is ketones so that’s the

fuel source ketones are much less

stressful to the brain your brain cells

love ketones the hippocampus loves

ketones there’s a lot of research being

done now by giving also

patience ketones and they seem to do

much much better so because it provides

less stress on the brain all right guys

this is what you do go ahead and do it
