An "Alzheimer's Diet?" Dietitian Amylee Amos Discusses The Bredesen Protocol 

Dr. Bredesen’s protocol supports, and is supported by, Dr Terry Wahl’s protocol for autoimmune disorders (esp. MS). I have been following the Wahl’s plan for a few years. I am not exaggerating when I say that the mental fog suddenly lifted one day. I’m 66 and I’m considering returning to the workplace.

I’m 63 and have one APoE4 allele. Have been on Bredesen protocol for 3 years now as prevention. My mother and grandmother had Alzheimer’s so my risk is high. Whatever memory issues I felt I had post menopause are gone now.

Great video! I just read the Alzheimer's Solution by Ayesha Sherzai and Dean Sherzai, and was super interested to hear another perspective. There were definitely more similarities than differences.

I've heard some experts are calling it diabetes type 3

I would have loved some cookbook recommendations!

love your skip-ahead notes - awesome for those short on time and/or attention span!

Thank you for posting this. My mom is going through a very tough time with her dementia. I will change her diet. What are your thoughts on diatomaceous earth?

This is Great! Sounds like you're promoting the ("mild") Ketogenic Lifestyle with a lot more vegetables 🤔 Very (extremely) similar to Dr. Eric Berg recommendations. NICE!

Such an awesome and informative video on such an important topic. Thanks Ladies.

I am so interested in this. Have been reading all I can on Dr. Bredesen's ReCODE protocol and it's so exciting. My mom is 98 and is probably in the final few weeks or months of Lewy Body Dementia with Parkinsons. She is totally unable to do anything for herself, and communication is so difficult for her and us. Mom has very little comprehension. Have watched her go from a incredibly independent person to her present state. I will not go down this road for myself if I can prevent it. I had my genetics tested with 23&me and do not have the APOE4 gene from either parent. I know this doesn't make it clear sailing and I will do whatever it takes. Thanks for your excellent video. with

Joe Rogan used to warn about his experiment with eating anchovies to get the correct oils for optimal health. For a long time he could not figure out why he was feeling so bad. Finally his doctor checked for heavy metals and found that indeed Joe was suffering from high levels of heavy metal contamination. Joe used to talk about this, but now all mention of his difficulties from eating fish has been scrubbed from his website.

Eat breakfast lunch and dinner and no snacking in between watch fasting on amazon prime, this fasting period helps the body.

Bredesen protocol - almost exactly the OPPOSITE of what dieticians have prescribed in the past. Yeah, there's overlap with some veggies - but the Bredesen emphasis is on KETOSIS - which is low carb AND FATS. Dieticians have been all about high carbs and low fats.

Can you please clarify her statement that APOE4 leads to a 90% risk of dementia? That does line up with my research. While the risk is certainly high, it’s more like 50-70% which makes a huge difference and lends support to the idea that lifestyle changes can have a positive impact. 90% sounds close to certainty.

How is a diet that includes legumes be low carb? WHY would you want to avoid naturally raised animal protein? You can eat nutrient dense animal protein AND eat large quantities of veggies and fruits, as Terry Wahls recommends in her well studied MS reversing diet.

So if you can't chew greens, should you juice?

Funny how the guest mentions fats ( healthy ). I've long suspected that healthy fats are an important component in the plant based diet yet there are Vegan doctors out there ( John Mcdougall, Caldwell Esseltyne, Jeff Novick) who are very anti fat including plant fats. You can see why there is so much confusion on this topic.

Thank you for giving clarity and making this EASY! The only concern is with the recommendation of coconut oil which is the highest in saturated fat. I'm sharing this with my alzheimer clients!

We need a bredesen protocol cookbook.i cant afford their expensive shipped meals.

Great video - thanks!

Nice video but this should apply to everyone for overall health and not just Alzheimer prevention. Unfortunately, this kind of eating is expensive and takes much more time to prepare as for many often it is just easier to buy a ready-made processed meal. But then again, spend the time and money to be healthy is a lot better than spending the time and money on doctor visits and medicines. I think the jury is still out on a plant-based diet being the solution. I think there are just as many out there pushing for a high fat meat-based diet. But either way, HFCS, simple sugars and processed foods should definitely be reduced, if not removed and work for a balanced diet without grains. Two POVs to consider, Robert Lustig & Mark Sisson.

I am allergic to coconut. At first it was the protein part only, like Coconut milk or flakes. But now I react (trouble swallowing) to oil as well. Coconut oil is in everything now! I can barely find an ice cream that has chocolate in it, that doesn't use coconut oil. Chocolate bars are also now using it. What about people like me?!?

There is an alternative to eating fifteen servings of phytochemical-rich veggies when you get old and scared. The alternative is to eat a decent diet starting when you're a kid. Remember Granny? "Eat your veggies, it'll put colour in your cheeks." "Yeah, but Granny, I don't WANT green cheeks!" Sorry, kid, Granny is right: and it's one of those nice surprises you'll have to study science to understand. Green veggies give you pink cheeks. Amazing!

Just found this video - enjoyed it very much. Can't help but wonder if any of your food recommendations have been altered given COVID19 as fresh greens and berries for salads/smoothies are not cooked which potentially would kill viruses.

one big bowl of Borsch soup for breakfast with some whole grain toast avacardo and sardines. I also add 2 dessert spoons pumpkin oil and EV olive oil to the soup...put 10 to 15 veg and always with onion and garlic plus crucificus. type veg and at least 10 other veg of broad colours, some veg powder and whatever else you need...who needs cereal...

I thought she was going to give us some recipes and meal plans that help us to plan our Alzheimer's Diet. We've already heard the science behind it from Dr. Bredesen. Oh well. . .

what about probiotics?

Honey has a large glycemic response in insulin resistant people.

More power to you.

Thanks for the video. I just found out through 23 and me I have one copy of Apoe E4 . I'm 59 and know symptoms yet, I'm researching to make some life style changes.

On Ted Talk there was a doctor who had an Alz patient listen to 40 hertz for 20 minutes a couple times a week. It helped. a couple years later he ran into her and could not diagnose her as having Alzheimers!

Do we stay away from statins?

16 hour fast is a cake walk(no pun)!lol

What kinds of foods are recommended when it comes to healthy fats?

Call Q 10 I think I’m saying that right I don’t know I’m blind and I have to talk to my phone, isn’t that from an animal product? Just curious

Thanks much.

Thanks Amy Lee My husband is diagnosed with Cognitive Decline. Pls. keep me informed on how he can be helped. It's great to know that as a lay person, I can help my husband myself with some of the procedures mentioned in your video. what is the best way to reach you for personal questions?

You mentioned an oil called “Algo” or “Alga” oil. Can you spell that or tell us more?

Wait McDonald's n Wmart has not fully endorsed?

🤔 This is amazing life changing information, thank you 🤗💖💖💖🙏

Oils and fats are highly processed foods, so no wonder they are considered bad. But fats naturally contained in plant foods, in moderation and if you're not suffering from heart disease, are more conducive to a good balanced diet. I'm confused about the fish thing and this constant necessity to eat the rainbow?! That can make things expensive and complicated for most and so much more confusing than whole plant based foods with no added oil. Butyrate comes from the result of eating plant fibre and omega essential oils are much better taken in their parental form LA and ALA, rather than as the non essential EPA/DHA If these are not already rancid before they enter the body, they definitely are as soon as they are ingested. They're fine in very cold deep water fish, but not at 37 degrees centigrade. The brain is flooded with a super high dose of rancid oil that it has to deal with. Plus, it only requires DHA in very small amounts. Anthropologists link the huge growth in human brains at around 800,000 years ago to the further development of our amylase enzymes and cooking tubers. The brain is a massive glucose consumer, which is it's preferred source of energy and widely available. I also don't get the hour of exercise a day, plus being active...necessary if you're tanking a lot of calories from oil, but is that sustainable and safe? Please don't get me wrong, I'm not an expert and this is just my point of view. I'm a 57 year old plant based male and have followed this way of eating for around 7 years after doing a year of 5:2 fasting. Which was great, but unsustainable for me at the time as I was cycling to work each day and kept forgetting to eat enough on the feast days. I'm a big fan of this channel and thanks for a really interesting interview!

I am considering producing a documentary on Alzheimer's. I'd like to speak with Amy. Also, I'm reading Dr. B's book now. Best way to contact her?

The fruit bowl on the right should be darker and reddish brown to counter the dark sweater. Otherwise excellent, lively video. Thanks!

Regarding Omega 3 and DHA, can you comment on plant based sources for those with fish allergies?

I heard last week that there are 36 factor, that could be harmful?

Great interview!

How can I find out if I have APoE4? Through a neurologist? The neurologists I've seen don't seem knowledgeable.

How important is the load of plastics in our fish? Is there a better alternative to fish?

So interesting!!

If Splenda is bad for us, then what alternative is there? I'm diabetic and my wife has Alzheimer's. Is there an artificial sweetener that doesn't damage our gut/brain?

What's the ketone range for people with cognitive decline?

You say, you see their brains regrow. In these cases , do their lost memories return in time?

Does 23 And Me require you to ID your self ? I don’t trust insurance companies with this info.

UCLA has done the reverse with Whole Food Plant Based and Dr Dean Ornish does the same thing.

Opinion on Stevia?

Is it possible to follow this diet when the patient has end stage kidney failure and is restricted to 2000-3000 mg kalium? Thank you.

Meat as a condiment. Love this description!

Would this work for someone who is in the later stages of dementia ? My mom has mixed vascular dementia

Well done ladies, one thing I was offended by was the remark about not needing the “Almighty Physician” you can do this alone, altho that may be true, Alzheimer’s is a very serious disease, and giving people the impression that they can solve it themselves is a bit egotistical and naieve. Sorry don’t be hurt, other than that you are both awesome.

They are suffering enough - let them eat what they want to. I'm sure you have good intentions.

I have IBS. All the veggies will make me sick. I have Alzheimer’s

Great info, shared by two attractive women !

Autism and Alzheimers have the same tangles. Pine Oil "Gum Turpentine" with sugar improves both.

saunas?

Never eat refined foods.

Nobody talks about what cellphones are doing to our brains.

It wont tell you what your APOE status is but will tell you what copies you have ???

I thought co co nut oil was good???

Imagine if they a healthy diet, I mean meat and animals products. Polyunsaturated is not healthy but saturated is the ultimate best fat.

Alga oil?

She said. Coconut oil is good! But in some other sources,it says bad for our heart.so who is telling the truth. All. See are all story. Theories. Not proven.

Hello ,is that all we will eat the rest of our life. Because no carbohydrates,,no sugar ,no fats. Some said no grains.so we have nothing to eat.. plant based we are almost a monkeys. And goats.

Just a $1000 per person

A diet for Alzheimer’s patient.

Very vague ....

Why stand in a kitchen when you didn't even feature any food or recipes??

can you not just take and do everything?????

I have not yet heard. A plant based eating people becomes Centenarians. This is only guessing theories.

watch Lorenzo's oil and "Do NO Harm"

You need to learn something about nutrition before coming on line to talk about this subject.

Very frustrating…… you mostly just generalize

Right 23×me ... BS 😅

Raw honey raises glycemic level

Awfully pretty

Evidence? None

So fake!
