Prevent Alzheimer's and Extend the Vitality of Your Brain with Dr. David Perlmutter

In this episode, Dr. David Perlmutter dives into the metabolic
origins of Alzheimer's, highlighting why targeting beta-amyloid
isn’t the full solution. Discover how focusing on the brain's
energy use and metabolic health could prevent cognitive decline.


 


You'll learn how insulin resistance and blood sugar levels are
directly tied to brain health. Dr. Perlmutter shares practical
strategies to regulate insulin, reduce Alzheimer's risk, and
maintain mental clarity as you age.


 


Tune in to explore essential lifestyle changes—like improving gut
health and controlling blood sugar—that can reduce your risk of
Alzheimer's by up to 70%, along with the critical markers you
should track for early intervention.
