In this enlightening episode of The Metabolic Link, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino sits down with Dr. Mary Newport to delve into the world of Alzheimer's disease, discussing her pioneering work with ketogenic metabolic therapy. Dr. Newport shares her personal and inspiring journey with her husband, Steve, whose battle with early-onset Alzheimer's led her to discover the life-changing effects of MCT and coconut oil. Dr. Newport also explores the crucial role of nutrition in managing Alzheimer's, the potential of exogenous ketones, and the intriguing hypothesis that links infections to the disease.
About Mary Newport:
Dr. Mary Newport, M.D., is a seasoned pediatrician and neonatologist with over thirty years of experience. She has been involved in founding and directing neonatal intensive care units in the Tampa Bay area. Transitioning later in her career to home hospice care and health risk assessments, Dr. Newport witnessed firsthand the transformative effects of a ketogenic nutritional intervention using coconut and medium-chain triglyceride oil on her husband, who had early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. She has since become an internationally recognized author and speaker, advocating for ketones as a brain fuel alternative.
Two recent papers by Dr. Newport:
- Ketogenic Strategies for Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Memory Impairments: History, Rationale, and 288 Caregiver Case Reports
- The Lipid–Heart Hypothesis and the Keys Equation Defined the Dietary Guidelines but Ignored the Impact of Trans-Fat and High Linoleic Acid Consumption
