The Primal Podcast

This episode is brought to you by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Primal Tallow Balm⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 45 million of the currently living Americans are set to die of Alzheimer's, and the signature of Alzheimer's is insulin resistance. Therefore, this is not a disease of old age; it's a disease that can affect anyone. My guest today is Dr Dale Bredesen, a world-renowned brain expert and best-selling author, who knows the cause of Alzheimer's and dementia, and has published studies to show reversal of cognitive decline and Alzheimer's with a high-fat diet. In Dr Bredesen's published trial, they looked at people who were in the third and fourth phase, that is to say, mild cognitive impairment and early dementia. 84% of them improved their cognitive scores. "We're seeing a reversal of decline. We're seeing sustained improvements. We're seeing people with normal cognition enhance their cognitive abilities by doing the right things. This is a very exciting time!"

Dr William Davis discusses the fastest way to fix your gut microbiome with one microbe and an easy yoghurt recipe to help! Try Function and skip the waitlist using my linkhttps://www.functionhealth.com/PRIMALPODCASTFix Your Gut (Yoghurt Recipe):https://www.theprimal.com/lab/gut-microbiome-fix-your-gut-with-this-one-microbeDr. Davis's Book Super Gut:https://amzn.to/4hqejczMicrobes are microscopic organisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and archaea. The body hosts multiple microbiomes, including those in the mouth (oral microbiome), on the skin (skin microbiome), and in the vaginal area (vaginal microbiome), which must be in balance.The good bacteria in your gut microbiome help strengthen your gut lining and keep harmful bacteria under control. But things like antibiotics, herbicides like glyphosate, junk food, medications, stress, alcohol, pollution, and smoking can throw your microbiome off balance. When that happens, it can lead to fewer neurotransmitters, blood sugar issues, bad bacteria spreading into the small intestine, SIBO, inflammation, leaky gut, and allergies.Dr. William Davis has come up with an incredible way to grow your own probiotics. His work is based on research by Dr. Irina Conboy, who studied the microbe L. reuteri and its effects in rats. Rats given L. reuteri had better fur, healed faster, built more muscle, showed more interest in mating, had a stronger immune system, and even showed anticancer benefits.What’s great is that these same benefits have been seen in humans, too!

Alzheimer’s is now being called “type 3 diabetes” for its link to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and obesity. PREVENT ALZHEIMER"S (Free Guide): https://www.theprimal.com/lab/the-true-cause-of-alzheimers-disease-dementia A new hypothesis suggests another potential mechanism at play, one involving fructose. Today, fructose is consumed mainly in highly concentrated forms such as fruit juice, dried fruit, and high fructose corn syrup in soda and ultra-processed foods. According to metabolic health and Alzheimer’s scientists, this abundance of fructose in our modern diet may be starving our brain's memory center due to a genetic survival trait. Rina sits down with Dr. Richard Johnson to discuss his revolutionary new hypothesis on the link between fructose consumption and Alzheimer’s disease. Rina and Dr. Johnson discuss the evolutionary mechanism behind fructose metabolism, insulin resistance, and weight gain that has completely backfired today due to its overconsumption. Dr. Richard Johnson is a professor of medicine at the University of Colorado Denver and has been a practicing physician and clinical scientist for over 25 years. He is internationally recognized for his seminal work on the role of fructose in obesity, diabetes, and now, Alzheimer’s disease.
