418. Unlocking Memory: The Intersection of Alzheimer's, Hormones, and Lifestyle Choices - A Thyroid Fixer's Guide
Alright, let’s dive deep into the intricate dance of Alzheimer's, hormones, and lifestyle choices. In this episode, I'm thrilled to bring you insights from the brilliant Dr. Josh Helman, as we explore why hormone levels and lifestyle factors aren't just health buzzwords—they're central to understanding and potentially preventing Alzheimer's. As someone personally touched by Alzheimer's, thanks to my family history, this topic isn’t just professional; it’s deeply personal. Dr. Helman sheds light on how our traditional reactive approach to medicine contrasts sharply with the preventative measures we could be embracing. Together, we unpack the complex interplay of genetics, lifestyle, and chronic disease management that could revolutionize our approach to neurodegenerative diseases.And believe me, this isn't your standard medical discourse that leaves you more confused. Dr. Helman and I discuss tangible actions you can take today, from the impact of stress to dietary supplements and even novel activities to keep your brain agile. Omega-3s and the often overlooked yet crucial pregnenolone, and lifestyle changes that can dramatically shift your health and your future...we discuss their contributions too. Our aim is to equip you with the knowledge and tools to take charge of your health, potentially staving off Alzheimer's. This conversation is packed with cutting-edge science made digestible, because understanding your body shouldn’t be a puzzle—it should be a revelation. So, tune in and let’s get proactive about our brain health together.Connect with Dr. Josh Helman:Website: https://drjosh.comEmail: drjosh@drjosh.comShop ALL of Dr. Amie's Fixxr® Supplements:betterlifedoctor.comLET'S GET YOUR LIFE BACK...Connect with Dr. Amie HornamanBook a free application call: https://dramiehornaman.com/pages/book-a-callFREE DOWNLOADS…What Are the Optimal Lab Ranges?
