Nearly six million individuals live with Alzheimer’s disease in the US, and the numbers continue to rise. After 30 years of encountering dead ends while addressing Alzheimer’s disease as a problem of brain plaques, researchers are looking at other contributing factors.

On today’s mini-episode, Dhru sits down with Dr. Ben Bikman to talk about the growing body of evidence that indicates a strong correlation between Alzheimer’s disease and a disrupted metabolic state where the brain can’t get enough energy.

In this episode we dive into:

-Why Alzheimer's disease is increasingly being referred to as insulin resistance of the brain or type 3 diabetes

-Early signs of potential cognitive decline

-Common foods that drive insulin resistance

-Foods that fuel your body and brain

-What you can do today to reduce your risk for Alzheimer's disease
