all right guys so today we’re going  to talk about um what was that uh  

god what was that oh yeah short-term memory loss  now this can relate to the beginnings of dementia  

all the way over to alzheimer’s so the symptom  of memory loss has everything to do with the  

hippocampus and the greek term for hippocampus  means seahorse because that’s the shape  

and you have two of them one on the left side  one on the right side so that way if one goes  

you have a backup so related to short-term  memory loss i have some good news and some  

bad news the bad news is that as you age the  hippocampus actually starts to shrink okay so  

age is definitely one thing you’re up against so  you just have to stay as young as possible number  

two if you decrease oxygen you can destroy the  hippocampus number three stress will definitely  

affect the hippocampus it’ll actually make it  atrophy and shrink the more stress you go through  

the more you can have atrophy or shrinkage  of your hippocampus i mean it’s pretty easy  

nowadays to avoid stress right all right number  four high glucose diabetics are at risk for having  

damage to their hippocampus so high carb diets  are not very good for the hippocampus at all  

number five a vitamin b1 deficiency so vitamin b1  is i would say the second most important nutrient  

for the hippocampus i put some links down  below for more information about b1 because  

you want to make sure you’re getting enough b1  from the diet to make sure that you can preserve  

the hippocampus now number six a vitamin d  deficiency out of all the areas of your brain  

a vitamin d deficiency will affect the  hippocampus the most so it’s a very good  

thing that vitamin d deficiency is very rare  nowadays or else we’d be in big trouble now that  

was a sarcasm because a vitamin d deficiency is  extremely common among most of the population on  

planet earth and number seven if you have a zinc  deficiency that can majorly affect the ability  

of your hippocampus to function resulting in  short-term memory loss okay so that’s the bad news  

what is the good news now the good news is the  hippocampus is one of the only areas of the brain  

that can completely regenerate thank goodness for  that so if we just go ahead and look at the list  

we have to stay as young as possible number one  we want to increase oxygen to our hippocampus  

exercise is one of the best ways to do it another  way would be to use the hyperbaric oxygen therapy  

but overall you want to keep your oxygen at a very  high level now the next thing would be fasting  

fasting including intermittent fasting is a very  powerful therapy to increase something called  

bdnf brain derived neurotrophic factor and so  by doing fasting you increase that compound  

which directly increases neurogenesis which is the  creation of new nerve tissue all right next one  

is to start taking vitamin d as i said before  vitamin d is the most important nutrient for  

your hippocampus and also start consuming food  high in zinc that would be all the shellfish  

also beef liver has a good amount of zinc  in it and taking more b1 is very very vital  

i would recommend taking nutritional yeast on a  regular basis and the last thing i want to mention  

is to decrease your stress as much as possible do  whatever you can to do that and of course applying  

these other things is also going to reduce stress  especially if you do regular consistent exercise  

the type of exercise that will increase more  oxygen long walks would be a really good thing  

now the next thing is increasing your ketones  ketones are the preferred fuel of the brain  

especially the hippocampus in fact you’re not  going to be able to regenerate the hippocampus  

without feeding it ketones and there’s several  ways of increasing ketones number one getting  

in a low-carb diet of course you probably  already know that if you’re new to my channel  

i put some links down below of exactly what diet  you need to be on number two consuming mct oil  

very very important medium chain triglyceride  fats will turn into ketones and your brain will  

actually absorb them in preference to glucose  and you’ll see huge benefits you can also  

take exogenous ketones they’re called ketone  salts and that will also increase your ketones  

they’re a bit expensive so it might be cheaper  to take the mct oil but more important than mct  

oil in exogenous ketones is getting on a ketogenic  diet keeping your carbs low and that’s going to be  

very very important in restoring the hippocampus  all right guys there you have it those are the  

key things to help you with short-term memory  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
