Welcome back to Green Wisdom Health, the podcast that provides a path to vibrant health and clarity of mind. Today's episode is Proactive Measures for Brain Health: Strategies to Combat Dementia and Alzheimer's —an urgent exploration into the intricacies of our most vital organ. We're diving deep into the genetic nuances of single nucleotide polymorphisms—SNPs—and how methylation defects can ripple through our health, affecting everything from liver function to serious health conditions like diabetes, dementia, and autoimmune disorders. Join Janet Lewis and Dr. Stephen Lewis for profound personal accounts and critical insights into how something as simple as a b twelve methyl supplement can profoundly impact your energy and overall well-being. We'll dissect the alarming connection between common sleep medications and the risk of dementia and why bolstering your brain's health with the right minerals, particularly omega-3 fatty acids, is non-negotiable in today's dietary landscape. We're not just talking fish oil here—we're looking at the broader impact of our food choices. We cover everything from the perils of seed oils and farmed fish to monitoring allergies and environmental factors such as high copper levels. But that's not all. Our conversation will also bring to light the importance of liver health, particularly in the wee hours of the night, the controversial role of alcohol, and how toxins can spark inflammation, leading to a cascade of neurological diseases. Vitamin D, cholesterol, and carnitine are all interlinked, and we're unraveling the connections with practical advice on supplements, lifestyle, and preventative measures. Because the stakes are high, dementia and Alzheimer's threaten not just our health but also our financial stability and relationships. We'll discuss how to reverse cognitive decline with a comprehensive approach. This includes optimal memory support and potent carotenoids such as lutein, crucial for your eyes and the cradle of your cognition in the fight against Alzheimer's. So grab a healthy snack, settle in, and take a proactive step into better brain health. Remember, this isn't just a journey—it's a commitment to love, patience, and perseverance for a productive, healthy life. This is Green Wisdom Health, and we're starting right now.
