The REAL Cause of Alzheimer's Disease and What You Can Do About it - Max Lugavere
Max Lugavere is a science journalist and New York Times bestselling author on a mission to help people feel better, live longer, and maximize their brain health by optimizing their diet. On this episode, Max will introduce dementia, discuss public policies around Alzheimer’s disease, and discuss modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for AD prevention. Join Max Lugavere and learn how food can help protect your brain and your overall health.Alzheimer's disease, one of the most dreaded conditions of old age, is unfortunately made even more of a burden by a gene called ApoE4. With two copies of this gene, you can double your risk of developing this devastating condition, proving that life isn't always fair. Even if you don't have the gene, aging still increases your chances, making it seem like no matter what you do, Alzheimer's will still creep up on you. But don't lose hope - animal studies have found that heat shock proteins can at least offer some protection against it. So, while Alzheimer's may be looming in your future, there may still be some hope.#Alzheimersdisease #maxlugavere #dementia #brainhealthSponsors:LMNT - drinklmnt.com/NEURO - CODE NEUROTimeline - timelinenutrition.com/neuro - CODE NEUROYou can follow me or contact me here --- Newsletter: https://bit.ly/3ewI5P0Instagram: louisanicola_Twitter : louisanicola_YouTube: Louisa Nicola Connect with Max:Website https://www.maxlugavere.com/aboutInstagram https://www.instagram.com/maxlugavere...Facebook https://www.facebook.com/MaxLugavereYouTube @maxlugavere Twitter The Neuro Athletics Newsletter Instagram: @louisanicola_Twitter : @louisanicola_YouTube: @Louisa NicolaThe Neuro Experience Podcast is proud to have hosted: Dr Andrew Huberman, Dr Gabrielle Lyon, Dr Layne Norton, Thomas DeLauer, Shawn Stevenson, Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen, Saad Alam, Uma Naidoo, Dr. Lanna Cheuck, Angela Lee Pucci, Jillian Turecki, Dr. Jordan Feigenbaum, Dr. Darren Candow, Dr. Sue Varma, Evy Poumpouras, Dr Casey Means, Renee Deehan, Dr Chris Palmer, Dr Charles Brenner, Dr Joe Zundell, Dr Ray Dorsy, Dr Dale Bredeson, Dr. Ben Bikman Learn more about your ad choices.

The Shocking Root Cause of Metabolic Dysfunction and Why Sugar is Toxic
How shocking is it to think that by the time you are in your 30s and 40s that your brain is already showing signs of Alzheimer’s. There is no immediate cure, yet, but there are things we can do to protect our brains around our diet and knowledge that we can actually apply and put into action. One of the ways to optimise your brain is by managing your nutrition and one topic within this field that I want to understand is that of metabolism. Metabolic dysfunction. What is it? What is sugar? Why is sugar so bad?I deep dive into these topics with Robert Lustig who is back on the podcast for a part II.

The Truth about Saturated Fat with Dr. Robert Lustig, MD
In this informative and eye-opening podcast, I sit down with renowned endocrinologist and obesity expert, Dr. Robert Lustig, to discuss the often misunderstood topic of saturated fat. Dr. Lustig breaks down the complex concept in a "beautifully simplistic" way and explains how the scale lies when it comes to measuring our overall health. We delve into the three separate fat depots in our bodies and how they contribute differently to our health. Dr. Lustig also touches on the link between stress, cortisol, and visceral fat and how sugar plays a role in the development of a fatty liver.Dr Lustig's book:Metabolical: The truth about processed food and how it poisons people and the planet https://amzn.to/3pX7iaLSponsors:KETONE-IQ- 20% DISCOUNT - NEURO20https://hvmn.me/NeuroMOMENTOUS SUPPLEMENTS - 15% DISCOUNT - NEUROhttps://www.livemomentous.com/neuroConnect with Dr Lustig:Website https://robertlustig.comTwitter https://twitter.com/RobertLustigMDFacebook https://www.facebook.com/DrRobertLustig/YouTube @RobertLustigMD You can follow me or contact me here ---Newsletter: https://bit.ly/3ewI5P0Instagram: louisanicola_Twitter : louisanicola_YouTube: Louisa NicolaThe information provided in this show is not medical advice, nor shThe Neuro Athletics Newsletter Instagram: @louisanicola_Twitter : @louisanicola_YouTube: @Louisa NicolaThe Neuro Experience Podcast is proud to have hosted: Dr Andrew Huberman, Dr Gabrielle Lyon, Dr Layne Norton, Thomas DeLauer, Shawn Stevenson, Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen, Saad Alam, Uma Naidoo, Dr. Lanna Cheuck, Angela Lee Pucci, Jillian Turecki, Dr. Jordan Feigenbaum, Dr. Darren Candow, Dr. Sue Varma, Evy Poumpouras, Dr Casey Means, Renee Deehan, Dr Chris Palmer, Dr Charles Brenner, Dr Joe Zundell, Dr Ray Dorsy, Dr Dale Bredeson, Dr. Ben Bikman Learn more about your ad choices.

Stuart Phillips, PhD, on Building Muscle with Resistance Exercise for Longevity and Brain Function.
In this episode, I sat down with Professor Stuart Phillips to discuss the importance of exercise - resistance training, nutrition, and recovery in building muscle and improving strength. This is all in the pursuit of better brain health and as we know, brain health and longevity has a greater impact when we have more strength and increased muscle mass. Professor Phillips is a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Skeletal Muscle Health in Aging. He is a Professor in Kinesiology, and Graduate Faculty in the School of Medicine at McMaster University. He is a fellow of the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (FCAHS) and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). His research is focused on the impact of nutrition and exercise on the mechanisms of human skeletal muscle protein turnover. He is also keenly interested in diet- and exercise-induced changes in body composition particularly in older persons.Sponsors:KETONE-IQ- 20% DISCOUNT - NEURO20https://hvmn.me/NeuroMOMENTOUS SUPPLEMENTS - 15% DISCOUNT - NEUROhttps://www.livemomentous.com/neuroYou can follow me or contact me here ---Newsletter: https://bit.ly/3ewI5P0Instagram: louisanicola_Twitter : louisanicola_YouTube: Louisa NicolaFind Stuart here: https://twitter.com/mackinprofhttps://www.instagram.com/mackinprof/?hl=enList of Stuarts publications: https://scholar.google.ca/citations?user=VLu9hqgAAAAJ&hl=enThe Neuro Athletics Newsletter Instagram: @louisanicola_Twitter : @louisanicola_YouTube: @Louisa NicolaThe Neuro Experience Podcast is proud to have hosted: Dr Andrew Huberman, Dr Gabrielle Lyon, Dr Layne Norton, Thomas DeLauer, Shawn Stevenson, Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen, Saad Alam, Uma Naidoo, Dr. Lanna Cheuck, Angela Lee Pucci, Jillian Turecki, Dr. Jordan Feigenbaum, Dr. Darren Candow, Dr. Sue Varma, Evy Poumpouras, Dr Casey Means, Renee Deehan, Dr Chris Palmer, Dr Charles Brenner, Dr Joe Zundell, Dr Ray Dorsy, Dr Dale Bredeson, Dr. Ben Bikman Learn more about your ad choices.
