there’s one food that you must avoid

in order to overcome Alzheimer’s in fact

I don’t think you can actually even

improve Alzheimer’s symptoms if you

continue to consume this one food with

Alzheimer’s we have this fire going on

in the brain we have inflammation

amyloid plaquing neurofibrillary Tangles

which is basically like this big ball of

fishing line that develops right after

the plaquing so they both work together

and then the immune reaction to that

creates a tremendous amount of

inflammation and all these neurons start

dying but of all the factors that can

influence Alzheimer’s positive or

negative

what you eat is the most important thing

here’s some information that you

probably have never heard before insulin

is neural protective it actually

protects your brain cell it actually

prevents this amyloid plaquing from

developing and it also prevents the

accumulation of those Tangled type

fibers that I just mentioned there’s

even therapies that certain doctors use

called intranasal insulin sprays where

they actually spray insulin up your

sinuses so they go right into the brain

and it’s been proven that it increases

memory and the ability to learn so one

big factor relating to insulin is that

if you’re deficient in insulin uh your

risk for getting amyloid plaquing goes

up what increases insulin carbs

so should we start eating carbs okay is

that going to help the situation no

because carbs raise blood sugars

and people with high blood sugar like

diabetics have a much higher risk of

getting Alzheimer’s so this is confusing

because carbs increase insulin and that

should naturally prevent you from

getting Alzheimer’s but it actually

causes Alzheimer’s this is why some

people coin the term type 3 diabetes is

Alzheimer’s okay here’s the missing

information when you increase insulin

you instantly create

resistance the body starts to protect

you against this excess insulin and it

leads to insulin resistance okay

when you have insulin resistance you

actually have a deficiency of insulin

inside your cells so more insulin

creates a deficiency of insulin sounds

strange sounds counterintuitive but now

you know why because the body forms this

protective mechanism

which is insulin resistance and as far

as how this relates to alzheimer’s you

have the blood-brain barrier okay that

can actually be resistant to insulin now

even though the brain does make a little

bit of insulin majority of the brain’s

insulin is dependent on what’s Happening

throughout the body so just as a

diabetic develops insulin resistance

throughout the body the brain can also

develop insulin resistance as well

especially in the blood brain barrier so

insulin resistance is the most important

thing you need to understand so many

people don’t understand this and they’re

unknowingly making things worse

by feeding their parents and

grandparents the wrong food because the

number one thing that will increase

insulin is carbs okay I’m not talking

about vegetable carbohydrates I’m

talking about sugars and I’m talking

about refined grains and I’m talking

about grains as well yeah breads pasta

cereal crackers biscuits waffles

pancakes

muffins juice desserts all these things

will absolutely positively make things

worse you can’t fix Alzheimer’s on top

of these carbs it’s impossible you must

fix insulin resistance the carbs aren’t

the only thing that creates a spike in

insulin okay

and by the way when you fix instant

resistance

the neurons finally get the level of

insulin that they need to help this

neural protection and decrease the

inflammation now carbs in general

especially in the refined form and

sugars create a tremendous amount of

inflammation too in the brain that’s in

addition to the insulin problem all

these carbs also create a lot of

mitochondrial damage okay which destroy

the mitochondria which is the energy to

the neuron itself and also at the same

time creating a lot of oxidation and for

radical damage and a lowered ability to

deal with that because consuming a lot

of sugars and refined carbs decrease

your antioxidants so we have all this

inflammation without any ability to

counter the inflammation so what is the

most important thing you can do if you

have a loved one that has Alzheimer’s or

you are starting to develop symptoms for

Alzheimer’s is to understand this

mechanism and fix insulin resin distance

and there are several ways to do it okay

number one you must lower your carbs so

you can start shifting your your body

running on ketones which is a preferred

better more efficient fuel to the brain

cells

so if you get a ketone meter you want to

make sure you’re in ketosis I’m talking

about 0.5 to 3 millimoles that would be

the level that you want to shoot for now

you can also increase those ketones by

doing some other cool things like adding

exercise and adding fasting which I

think you should do as well but the

point is if there’s damage in the brain

from this insulin problem and this

glucose problem thank goodness there’s

another pathway you can actually start

feeding the brain cells so any patient

who has Alzheimer’s must be feeding

their brain cells ketones if they want

any chance of turning things around okay

so that’s number one getting on the

ketogenic diet the next thing you need

to know about insulin resistance to be

able to fix it is that the frequency of

meals okay the more times you eat and

snack the more you’re going to raise

insulin okay so you also must do

intermittent fasting and if you have

signs of Alzheimer’s okay or you’re at

risk you really need to be on what’s

called omad which is one meal a day that

meal needs to be healthy and it needs to

be big enough and providing you with all

the nutrition but allowing your body to

fast for 23 hours is super super

important because you’re going to keep

your insulin low you’re going to

actually start to allow the neurons to

be fed with insulin you’re going to turn

around insulin resistance so much faster

so the worse someone has Alzheimer’s the

less frequent they should eat and you

would see a dramatic Improvement if you

did this so one meal a day and make sure

that meal is the ketogenic diet well I’m

57 years old I’m six foot two I weigh

185 pounds and I can easily run my body

on one meal a day okay I have more

calories but my body does very very well

on that so anyone that is over the age

of 50 really should be considering uh

one meal a day simply because we don’t

need so many calories especially if

you’re not doing hardcore workouts and

if you talk about Alzheimer’s patients

which are not typically active or

they’re in a home or Assisted Living I

mean they’re not burning out these

calories to feed them more than one meal

a day is completely unnecessary and

unfortunately they’re usually getting

three meals a day plus snacks completely

way too much food because anytime you

have insulin resistance you’re going to

be craving carbs and you’re going to be

hungry all the time

but as soon as you do one meal a day you

convert the body over to ketones and the

hunger goes away and the Cravings go

away and it makes it really easy to do

and the fourth thing is to make sure

that meal is really healthy and nutrient

dense the next thing to know do whatever

you can to lower stress stress activates

cortisol another name for cortisol is

glucocorticoids which has to do with

glucose so in other words anytime you

increase cortisol you increase glucose

and not because you’re eating sugar just

because your body’s in a stressed state

that can create insulin resistance that

can create even diabetes so people that

go through stress chronically or they’re

taking prednisone or some type of

synthetic cortisone for pain wow it’s

like eating sugar there’s a lot of

things you can do I just want you to get

the concept you want to lower this

stress the points I just mentioned are

like a requirement from any plan if

you’re trying to turn this Alzheimer’s

around and the next most important video

to watch would be that video I did on

what to eat okay what would that one

meal a day consist of to be healthy and

I put that video up right here check it
