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.
Anne Fraser faced immense challenges as the primary caregiver for both of her parents. Tragically, both parents passed away from these debilitating diseases. Later, Anne herself was diagnosed with cognitive decline, a known precursor to Alzheimer's and dementia.
With her tenacity and knowledge, Anne embarked on a journey to reverse her cognitive decline back to 100% cognition. By seeking medical assistance and implementing crucial lifestyle changes, she successfully achieved her goal.
In addition to her experience in caregiving and cognitive health, Anne is also an accomplished entrepreneur. Together with her husband Mark, Anne owns and operates The Fraser Team, a renowned real estate agency powered by The Rob Ellerman Team and ReeceNichols. As one of the top real estate teams in Kansas City, Anne and Mark have a proven track record of excellence, helping countless clients achieve their dream of homeownership.
