Metabolic Dysfunction and Alzheimer’s - Understanding Type 3 Diabetes

Bringing Hope to Alzheimer's

In this episode of Bringing Hope to Alzheimer's, we dive deep into the link between metabolic dysfunction and Alzheimer’s disease, often referred to as Type 3 diabetes. Learn how the brain, though only 2% of our body weight, consumes a staggering 20% of our body’s energy and why proper glucose metabolism is essential for maintaining cognitive function. We'll explore how disruptions in this process can lead to severe consequences for brain health, potentially accelerating the progression of Alzheimer’s and other cognitive disorders.
Discover the importance of a healthy brain diet and how your daily food choices, especially the intake of sugar, can significantly impact your metabolism and increase your risk of Alzheimer's. We’ll share practical tips on how to fuel your brain properly, and highlight the growing role of functional medicine in treating metabolic disorders that contribute to cognitive decline.
Tune in to understand how small changes in your diet today could help prevent Alzheimer’s and promote brain health for years to come. Whether you’re concerned about your own cognitive function or looking to support a loved one, this episode will offer valuable insights backed by science.
