In this episode of Vitality Made Simple, Dr. Debbie Ozment welcomes internationally recognized neurodegenerative disease expert, Dr. Dale Bredesen. Dr. Bredesen shares insights from his groundbreaking work and his new book, "The Ageless Brain," offering a beacon of hope in the world of degenerative disease.
He explains that cognitive decline is not an inevitable part of aging, but rather a "network insufficiency" driven by factors such as reduced energetics, chronic inflammation, and toxicity. Dr. Bredesen introduces the concept of a "cognoscopy," a proactive evaluation recommended for everyone over 35, involving specific blood tests to detect early signs of cognitive changes.
Learn about the transformative "KetoFlex 12-3" diet, a plant-rich, mildly ketogenic approach to promote metabolic flexibility and enhance brain function. Dr. Bredesen also delves into the crucial role of insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) and the often-overlooked connection between oral health and cognitive well-being. He emphasizes that addressing these "holes in the roof" through personalized medicine can lead to significant improvements in brain health, energy, and overall vitality, ultimately making dementia a rare condition. This episode provides an empowering guide for listeners to take control of their brain span and enjoy better relationships throughout life.
