Episode notes
Daily Intermittent Fasting Window
- Try an intermittent fasting lifestyle, e.g., an 8-hour eating window like 10 a.m.–6 p.m., to stabilize blood sugar and lower insulin.
- This increases ketones and supports brain-protective pathways such as BDNF and AMPK activation.
Brain Degeneration Is Metabolic And Slow
- Brain degeneration is largely a long-term metabolic process driven by blood sugar and insulin dysregulation over decades.
- Damaged mitochondria in the mitochondria-dense brain trigger inflammation and progressive neuronal loss.
Combine Fasting With Movement
- Do regular walking and movement to increase cerebral blood flow and support brain health alongside fasting.
- Combine movement with blood-sugar-stabilizing nutrition and toxin reduction for best results.
