Alzheimer's and Keto Diet

Welcome to 2018! Since this time of year everyone starts to set their health goals and everyone is talking about topics related to wellness, we are starting our first episode talking about 2 different health-related topics: Alzheimer's and the Keto diet.

Alzheimer's is one of those interesting diseases that scientists have worked hard to study, but have made very little progress with finding treatment options. Most of the time when the diagnosis is made, the family is told that there isn't much hope, and eventually the disease will fully take over their mind.

How the Keto Diet can Improve Alzheimer's Disease

Science has agreed on 1 piece of Alzheimer's, which is that glucose at some point can't get into the brain cells to provide the energy the brain needs to function. This is where the keto diet can come in. Ketones are another fuel source that can get through the blood-brain barrier and supply energy to the cells. In the case of Alzheimer's, this can be the fuel source necessary for improving cognitive function.

Amy Berger has been working with the Keto diet with Alzheimer's patients for quite some time, and has been able to make significant changes in cognitive function. Listen is as we discuss how this approach can be very beneficial.
