so let’s talk about what you should  do at the first sign of dementia  

now what are the first signs of dimension number  one loss of navigation spatial memory now what is  

that that has to do with locating yourself in time  and space so let’s say for example you’re trying  

to figure out where did i park my car are you  having problems with direction when you’re driving  

somewhere and you’re completely and utterly  dependent on the gps all right number two is um

it’s taking you longer to find the right words  number three you’re more easily confused now  

of course there’s a lot of things in life that  we’re confused about but if you just to compare  

your past to the present is there some type of  drop in clarity i mean that could be one thing  

number four you’re repeating yourself now  there’s many other symptoms of dementia but  

these are the early signs dementia in alzheimer’s  is a situation where your neurons cannot get  

fuel anymore specifically glucose because  there’s either resistance of fuel going  

through the blood-brain barrier or the  neurons in the brain itself cannot get  

fuel anymore so there’s a problem with  these synapses connecting if the blood  

has glucose and ketones together which is a  different source of fuel the brain will prefer  

and take as priority the ketones over glucose  so in other words the preferred fuel of the  

brain is ketones which is the byproduct of fat  burning and very rarely does an average person  

run their body on ketones they’re running  their body on glucose and then what happens  

they start having insulin resistance and all  sorts of issues so now that doesn’t work anymore  

and so the most important thing you need to  know is you need to start feeding the brain  

ketones okay ketones will bypass this damaged  mechanism of the glucose being absorbed and feed  

the neurons directly so you’re going to notice  a nice change in these symptoms for the better  

so how do you increase ketones three ways you  lower your carbs get on a healthy keto eating plan  

you start doing fasting i have a link down below  of how to do intermittent fasting going on low  

carbs will increase ketones a certain amount but  when you’re doing fasting you greatly elevate the  

amount of ketones that the brain can use now the  other thing you can do is a transition step and  

to enhance this process is to start taking mct oil  which will give you ketones directly you can also  

take exogenous ketones in a tablet form they’re a  little more expensive this is a lot less expensive  

but the key is getting more ketones in the brain  that is going to immediately start turning things  

around for you some other things that i would  recommend dha this is a healthy fat it’s an  

omega-3 fat it’s in fatty fish it’s in caldera  oil a good portion of your brain is made from this  

zinc and vitamin b1 vital for supporting certain  parts of your brain that can regenerate like the  

hippocampus so get your b1 from nutritional  yeast get your zinc from shellfish or a good  

supplement or even beef or organ meats it’s much  more bioavailable but vitamin b1 and zinc directly  

support the hippocampus which is part of the brain  that is severely damaged when you have alzheimer’s  

the other thing you have to realize is that if you  have dementia there’s probably some hypoxia going  

on which means that you have a lack of oxygen or  part of the brain this is not getting the blood  

flow it needs so exercise is vital to increase  oxygen as well as doing hyperbaric oxygen therapy  

and there’s even a therapy of restricting the  brain of oxygen while you exercise but you would  

do that intermittently to increase oxygen which  will increase stress and cause your blood to carry  

more oxygen so that’s another therapy but let’s  focus just on exercise right now and potentially  

doing the hyperbaric the other thing that’s  really important is getting enough sleep  

if you have a sleep problem  like sleep apnea for example  

that can create hypoxia and decrease the oxygen  to the brain or if you’re getting a lack of  

sleep that instantly increases your risk for  pre-diabetes insulin resistance and other health  

issues and so one way to kind of reset your sleep  patterns is to start taking vitamin d and take it  

probably minimally at 10,000 IUs every single  day and you’re going to find that you’re going  

to start sleeping better that’s just one thing  there’s many things but that can definitely  

help you as well as just taking vitamin d in  general which directly improves brain function  

all right there you have it and if you want some  additional information i have a lot of videos  

on the brain check them out i put them down  below before you go if you have a question  

about a product or you’re new to keto and you  want to know how to begin keto or you’re on keto  

and you need a debug because it’s not going  as smooth i have a keto consultant standing by  

to help you this is just for the people in  the US hopefully in the future we’ll be able  

to answer everyone’s call but i put the number  down below so you can call and get some help
