Approximately 45% of Alzheimer's cases are preventable by modifying specific risk factors.

“So, put another way, about 45% of Alzheimer's cases are preventable if we can only modify these again, these modifiable risk factors, right?”

Most Alzheimer's risk is environmental and preventable, driven by factors like sugar consumption, diet products, and other lifestyle stressors that cause mitochondrial dysfunction.

“So that means 95% of Alzheimer's risk is environmental air pollution, microlastics, ultrarocessed food. And a paper just came out showing that sweetener consumption correlates with dementia.”

The majority of dementia cases are preventable by modifying lifestyle and environmental risk factors.

“I think that there's a huge amount of evidence that you know the exact numbers are maybe debated but potentially the majority of cases of dementia are preventable right”

Adopting healthy lifestyle factors can significantly reduce the rate of cognitive decline, potentially offsetting the elevated risk associated with the APOE4 gene.

“the lift that you can get with healthy behaviors seems to be even greater as an E4 than as an E3”

A significant majority of Alzheimer's disease cases can be prevented through lifestyle modifications focused on the five pillars of brain health.

“Well, with Alzheimer disease, we can significantly reduce the damage that happens in the brain through these five pillars of brain health.”

Proactive management of insulin levels can help avoid the buildup of brain debris associated with conditions like Alzheimer's.

“It is 15 years of building up trash in that brain that we have to clean out that debris. And I had the privilege of an amazing story that taught me I don't have the gift of, you know, seeing into the future. Am I going to reverse these Alzheimer's before they show up?”

Infrared light from the sun helps maintain mitochondrial health and cooling, which serves as a preventive measure against diseases like dementia.

“Did you know that infrared lights from the sun is able to penetrate up to about 8 mm and stimulate and upregulate melatonin, which prevent a lot of diseases like dementia, cardiovascular disease, diabetes.”

Cardiovascular exercise and maintaining blood flow to the brain are critical for supporting brain health and preventing dementia.

“blood circulation is good for the brain, perhaps most important for the brain. So, anything that is good for cardiovascular health is going to be good for brain health. It's not the only thing, but that's true. We know this.”

It is possible to postpone the symptoms of dementia for many years by using therapeutic interventions to repair blood vessels and seal the blood-brain barrier.

“if we fix the blood vessels we may not be able to cure that's a big word QRS have a disease but at least we will be able to postpone the the symptoms by quite a few years for sure”
