Episode notes
Cut Processed Fats And Insulin-Spiking Foods
- Avoid partially hydrogenated fats and processed oils because they damage neural membranes.
- Limit high-sugar, high-carb diets and foods you react to, like gluten, dairy, or eggs, to reduce brain inflammation.
Processing, Not Seeds, Drives Harm
- The issue with seed oils is usually their processing, not the seed itself, which can alter protein structure and increase immunogenicity.
- Olive and avocado oils are preferable to industrial seed oils when possible.
Zonulin Links Gut And Brain Barriers
- Zonulin is a messenger that opens tight junctions in gut, brain, and lung barriers, linking leaky gut to leaky brain.
- Chronic barrier opening lets toxins, metals, antibodies, and pathogens enter the brain and accelerate neurodegeneration.
