No recorded cases of Alzheimers until 1906!
The part of the brain that is important for cognitive functioning is called the Hippocampus
The hippocampus is very metabolically active, requiring much more glucose (fuel)than the rest of the brain.
The hippocampus requires INSULIN to push glucose into the cells. INSULIN RESISTANCE causes cells to become unresponsive to insulin. The brain is swimming in a sea of glucose which it cannot use due to Insulin resistance!
**Insulin resistance can be predicted decades in advance **
Early signs/medical conditions of Insulin resistance
Belly fat
Certain skin conditions- skin tags, Acanthosis nigricans
Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
Male erectile dysfunction (earliest sign of insulin resistance in men)
Gestational Diabetes
Gout
High blood pressure
Diabetes type 2
Fatty liver disease
Alzheimers disease is due to metabolic dysfunction
A message of hope;
IF THERE IS A METABOLIC DYSFUNCTION, THERE IS A METABOLIC SOLUTION!!
The solution is FOODABLE not DRUGGABLE
