hey guys it’s dr. Burke here in this

video we’re talking about memory

Alzheimer’s and the insulin connection

now this is my opinion but I believe

that any problem with memory like going

in a room you can’t remember where you

went in there

short-term memory long-term memory and

dementia Alzheimer’s is related to a

starvation of glucose in the brain

I mean glucose is the primary fuel for

the brain but it can’t get in there if

the if the key doesn’t allow it to go in

there and that’s the insulin connection

so there’s a condition called insulin

resistance what does that mean it means

that the insulin in certain parts your

body is too high over a long period of

time and your body starts to resist or

block insulin and insulin allows the

glucose to go in the cells allows the

glucose to go in the brain it allows the

glucose to go in the muscle

so basically your brain despite how much

insulin is being pumped out from the

pancreas is not going into the brain so

you have a situation you have low

insulin and low glucose in the brain

that’s going to give your body feedback

in the feedback loops back to the

pancreas to make more insulin so an

average person with Linds the insulin

resistance has five to seven times more

insulin than someone that is normal okay

so that creates another situation called

amyloid deposits now what does amyloid

deposits it’s interesting because

Alzheimer patients have this unique

little fibrous tissue in the brain it’s

a protein fibrous tissue called amyloid

and that is a major complication

significant complication to insulin

therapy or if you have too much insulin

so that’s another connection all right

and also they found on PET scans which

basically scan the body and look for

places sugar metabolism in people with

Alzheimer’s you have a low sugar or

glucose metabolism so basically your

brain is starving of glucose all right

that’s what’s really causing memory

problems on a physical level so this

explains why you crave sweets because

the brain is not getting glucose so

basically the worst

you can do is start eating sweets

alright so here’s what I would recommend

or what I would do if I had any of these

issues number one cut out the sugar

completely all the hidden sugars that

means the breads and the pastas and the

cereals and the juice and even the fruit

at this time as well as alcohol and even

yogurt has a bit it’s high in sugar so

what you have to do is start reading the

labels and make sure that you focus on

the sugar grams try to get them less

than one gram okay that’s step one

number two the other problem that people

have with insulin resistance is that

every time you eat you spike insulin so

what you want to do is we’re going to

have less meals so do two or three meals

no snacking between because you’re going

to spike insulin the whole goal is to

reduce insulin to allow this insulin to

heal so you can start absorbing more

fuel to the brain your body your brain

can convert protein into glucose or even

fat dietary fat into glucose but it can

also run on ketones which is an

alternative fuel source and that comes

from cutting down the dietary sugar in

the body your body switches over the fat

burning makes ketones the brain loves it

ok so you have number one you have cut

up the sugar cut out the hidden sugars

have less meals no snacking okay make

sure that you’re another really cool tip

is to have apple cider vinegar in your

water why because apple cider vinegar

reduces insulin resistance it actually

helps improve that situation and these

are just tips so all I’m saying is you

go ahead and try this and see if it

works for you and post your comments

below I’ll see you in the next video
