This chapter highlights the significance of backing authors and podcast creators by purchasing their works and leaving reviews. It also explores the idea of 'voting with your dollars' and emphasizes kindness in online discussions, while touching on the benefits of ketones for cognitive function.

In this insightful episode of The Human Upgrade, Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Mary Newport, a renowned expert in lipid metabolism and brain health, to discuss the critical role of fats in preventing Alzheimer's disease and promoting cognitive longevity. Dr. Newport, author of the book Clearly Keto for Healthy Brain Aging and Alzheimer’s Prevention, shares her deep knowledge of how different fats impact brain function, the benefits of ketogenic diets, and the connection between infections like herpes and Alzheimer’s disease. Learn about her personal journey caring for her husband, who was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s, and how ketogenic interventions, including coconut oil and MCT oil, led to significant improvements in his cognitive health.

Tune in to learn more about the role of diet, ketones, and brain health, and how to make strategic food choices to maintain cognitive resilience as you age.
