so today we’re going to answer the

question can fasting actually reverse a

poor memory that comes from aging and

there seems to be this agreement that

it’s normal to lose your memory when you

age okay have you’ve been told that by

your doctor my viewpoint is I totally

disagree now there is a point of

limitation of matter where you can’t

reverse it you can definitely improve

things and if it’s not too far gone

hopefully it reversed them and the key

to getting your memory and your focus

and your concentration back is really

just to understand the basic problem and

the different factors that relate to it

okay so what do we know about this topic

well we know that Alzheimer’s takes like

15 years to develop it doesn’t happen

overnight it starts off with a little

memory problem and it gets worse and

worse and worse okay and we do know that

people as they age they do have memory

problems some people don’t some people

are really sharp into the 90s and we

know other people that are in their 40s

that have a terrible memory sometimes

even up in their 30s so what else do we

know we know that the area is involved

with Alzheimer’s the parts of the brain

are the same areas in the brain that

actually make insulin that’s an

interesting connection so we have the

hippocampus okay that part of the brain

is involved with memory and learning

then you have the prefrontal cortex

which is involved in short-term memory

planning decision-making goals

differentiating good from bad

trivial versus important the ability to

predict consequences talked about

short-term memory and selective

attention now the ability to focus on

something and filter everything out so

you don’t get distracted how many people

have a problem with that

and I will say that there’s a

relationship between this part of the

brain and these right here but honestly

there’s a lot of unknowns about this

they don’t really have it figured out

but there is some connection between

this part of the brain and these things

right here and then you have the

olfactory bulb okay and that’s involved

in the sensation of smell and then those

neuro circuits can go to different parts

of the brain because let’s say for

example if you smell

smoked for example that alarms part the

part of the brain to take action and do

something about it or let’s say you you

smell some rotten food that’s gonna tell

you not to eat it so we need our our

smell another interesting side note

about this is that these parts of the

brain also have a good amount of zinc

involved but I’m gonna do a separate

video on that let’s focus on insulin

right here so these are the areas of the

brain that get damaged with Alzheimer’s

but they’re also the areas that can

actually make insulin now if someone has

Alzheimer’s there’s something called

intranasal insulin that they can spray

up into their nose which does not get

into the lungs it actually gets

connected to nerve fibers that connect

to the olfactory bulb and bypass the

blood-brain barrier and go right into

the brain and this has shown huge

improvements in memory so apparently we

need insulin to work for your memory to

work and when people have Alzheimer’s

it’s not just memory loss it’s that you

lose your GPS your ability to locate

yourself in space it’s kind of like a

okay where did I park that type of thing

and we know that the hippocampus is

involved in that as well all right the

next point I wanna talk about is the

blood-brain barrier okay the blood-brain

barrier can develop insulin resistance

if there’s too much insulin your body

will protect it by developing insulin

resistance around the blood-brain

barrier so this is one of the big

problems and letting fuel into the cell

and actually at the heart of Alzheimer’s

you have this synapse which actually is

dying because it doesn’t have fuel

because obviously there’s a problem with

insulin okay whether this is shut down

or you have insulin resistance or a

combination of both

also in diabetics or pre-diabetics you

have lower amounts of insulin through

the cerebral spinal fluid that actually

is another route up so we do know that

there’s a problem with insulin we have a

problem with insulin resistance and we

have a problem with the fuel in the cell

so the enron’s

of this environment is you start

developing amyloid plaque okay now

there’s some other clacking going on too

but this is one of the big factors

that’s involved in Alzheimer’s right

here amyloid plaque which basically is a

type of protein that is a Mis folded or

stuck together in a way that makes that

protein unusable and that has a hard

time leaving the body so it’s kind of

stuck there between the synapses so we

lose the communication connection

between synapses so research right now

is heavily focused on trying to get rid

of this right here now of course we want

to prevent that so we’re gonna have to

keep insulin lowered by keeping our

sugar down but there’s some other things

that we can do fasting why fasting is

one of the most powerful things you can

do because starting at 16 hours of

fasting your body starts turning on

something called a Tov G okay this word

means self eating okay where the body

starts eating up damaged proteins and

miss folded proteins these are the

proteins that turn into amyloid plaque

in the tar accumulating and can’t leave

the body so it just so happens that

etapa G is the answer to that because

the top of G will take this into its

cell and spit out brand-new amino acids

it’ll help recycle the damaged proteins

not to mention it also clear out viruses

bacteria things like that but it starts

at 16 hours but it gets stronger at 18

hours and up to 23 hours so if you’re at

23 hours you’re doing what’s called one

meal a day very important for

Alzheimer’s patients now some people are

gonna say well what about if the my

grandmother is frail and if she goes at

any minute fast and she’s gonna lose

more weight very simply what you do is

you add more fat in the form of MCT oil

that gives you the calories but see MCT

oil will actually turn into ketones okay

and ketones will stimulate etapa G and

the cool thing about ketones is that

ketones will provide

a bypass of the glucose fuel and feed

the neurons directly so these neurons do

not need to run on glucose in fact

what’s really cool about this is that if

someone does have Alzheimer’s

and you give them exaggerated as ketones

ketones salts and MCT oil and even in

the presence of glucose the brain will

use the ketones so the brain loves

ketones it’ll use ketones as its

priority so the combination of fasting

and getting on the ketogenic diet with

adding MCT oil and exogenous ketones for

someone that has Alzheimer’s is a very

powerful plan now I’m gonna put some

links down below on a lot of research

being done on this right now which is

fascinating but the point is that if you

know someone that has Alzheimer’s have

them do this if you’re starting to have

short-term memory loss

I highly suggest you do this you may not

need to do these right here but

definitely this and definitely this
