am 86 , mow my large lawn , clean my houses , wash all the window and go to a class for balance and do weight lifting . The class for balance and weight lifting has been an extreme help I can continue to mow my lawn . My day starts with porridge, fruit and orange jce and watch my weight ( 108 lbs at present ) My husband and I were hiking in our late 70s , on some days walked 25 k . A day. My parent died at 96 and 102 no dementia. They were farmers until they retired .
@@ecostatic5739 true! but “choice” starts with the mind. And as a preventative, it’s the rule I follow. But I get what you’re saying…this is a “post” damage control video. 😆
So much good info. Thanks Dr Hyman. I appreciate you taking the time to set the context, that people have been misguided and that dementia is not just manageable, but reversible, and brains can heal.
Oh, yeah, I also stopped drinking bottled water (from plastic bottle) , and I think after stopped smoking, drinking, sugary drinks, and no plastic bottles, my memory seems to be improving, and I’m 80. this is a very interesting talk. You should put out more informational videos!!!!
Thank you! I saved this and shared on Facebook. I'm sure no one will watch but theyll binge watch mindless tv shows. Most people don't want to care for themselves, unfortunately.
This is Dr. Hyman. He is very enthusiastic about all this stuff. He chats with people. He's very interesting, and then shares it. He is who he is. I wouldn't like him to change. Jusr sayin
I’m a 69-year old female and totally on board with making lifestyle changes with diet, exercise, sleep therapy…how do I find a doctor in south jersey or Philadelphia area who can work with me on testing? My sister is going downhill very quickly with a recent Alzheimer’s diagnosis. I’d like to get help for her as well…she lives in Michigan. I love the information and the dedication you put into getting this important information out to the masses…THANK YOU! Michele
@@charlesgray107Not true because you will find sugar everyware outside fish/meat, and the lifestyle is still the key for brain disease. Te liver could be toxic for the brain, for example. You should breath good and try to resolve social problems with the help of the God, so you will stay secure.
Functional/Naturopathic medicine has SAVED MY LIFE at least twice. And STILL, STILL insurance companies won't pay for what heals us, makes us healthy and happy, and helps us to live BETTER, longer lives. Sigh. Health is for those with wealth. A trip to the Functional doc for tests is minimum of $750. Not in my budget. The tests I've had w allopathic doktors are useless, the Rx and treatment have been useless or made me worse. Thanks so much for this FREE information!!
We must act as if we have these toxins and nutrient deficiencies. Then once we have symptoms, we must take the supplements, spend the money since the alternative is far more costly.
Most people i have known on a personal basis who have memory lost eat sugar. For instance, I have a good friend that has relatively good weight in his 80s. But he said that his memory is going and he eats a ton of sugar a week, such as in chocolate bars and ice cream. But he has good blood work. Which he had done about a year ago. So I am under the impression that sugar does affect the brain. My neighbor who is now in a home because she is unable to look after herself.Because of her dementia always craved sweets.Always ate chocolate bars and candies everyday. And another neighbor of mine who is in her Late seventies is a diabetic and her memory is really going down hill. She buys a lot of candies and cookies even though she knows she's a diabetic.
Same for my dad, however he had diabetes, as did every one of his siblings that lived long enough. Many also had dementia. I wonder if there is a connection?
Just FYI diabetes substantially increases the risk of dementia. Part of the dietary treatment is complete elimination of all ultraprocessed foods -absolutely no sugary food/ drinks.
@@johnmartin4332 yes if you have diabetes your at higher risk for dementia. Diabetes reduces the blood flow in the arteries, which causes high blood pressure, cholesterol. diabetes causes, heart problems, kidney failure, blindness, IF the blood sugars are uncontrolled. It also increases your risk for liver and pancreatic cancer. Diabetes effects the whole body.
My dad had late onset of dementia also so I know what it's like. If the basics don't work then more testing for nutritional deficiencies, possible accumulation of toxins( like mercury) , deficiency of trophic factors( like hormone) ,chronic infections . Bredesens work came too late for my dad.
Very interesting podcast. My mom died at 94 of Alzheimer's last year. Im deathly afraid of getting it. So i will be using this approach as much as I can.
Bio identical hormonal replacement is mentioned a lot as a treatment I want to do it but my doctor does not recommend due to the risk of developing cancer What are your thoughts on Bio HRT? I am 63 years old very active, exercise regularly and eat healthy
My dad worked at the Exxon Refinery, Night shift, Heart issue(has had stents) on cholesterol meds for a long time, stress….I agree about the neurologist appointments! They do not help! They just track his decline! Which makes him upset and depressed! I feel the general lab work does not tell you enough for anyone!
It’s possible if you don’t try to change everything all at once…be methodical, make incremental changes that you can manage - before you know it, you will be on track and improving your life!
I agree. My mother is a good example. She now has Alzheimer. She ate simply, cooked all her food from scratch, did not smoke or drink alcohol, liked a little sweets, but never abused sugar in any way, never worked shift work and never complained about not sleeping well. Trained for the seniors Olympics the through the year, and competed, kept a very clean and organized home, learned how to play bridge, volunteered, and was active at her senior's club. I use to tell her she was a great example of growing old gracefully. Still during her 70's she started showing signs of mental declined. She is now 90, living in a nursing home and is very healthy except for now being in the her last phase of Alzheimer. So I am concerned I will also get this. I am 68. I have had a healthy lifestyle as well but I am not as healthy as she was. So, yes in a perfect world we could do nothing but focus on our health, eating only the best foods, finding time to relax enough to not experience great stress, finding time to exercise, etc. I feel this doctor is shaming people who get Alzheimer - somehow the affected person is not and has not done enough to not get this disease. The medical field will have to get more specific.
@@JudyBarrette Its time to do what you can do. Don't use the "perfect world" excuse, of those who don't want to try for "better". And do not blame doctors for "shaming". They are being honest. They can't even use the medical term morbidly obese now, for claims of "body shaming". Respect the truth and now do your best,.
@@jr.6199 You are missing my point. Of course people need to take responsibility for their health. At least do what they can. It may extend their quality of life and keep them from certain health problems. But there is a limit to what each individual can do. Even with her awareness and dedication to a healthy lifestyle, my mother still got Alzheimer. She responded well to the propaganda that healthy lifestyle and eating right since the 70's, which is when I remember her starting to do so. When you have such people getting Alzheimer, you need to start looking at what else may be the cause. Perhaps study people in their 90's who do not have it. Perhaps look at the food industry and really study the true effects of preservatives, dyes, sweeteners, oils, and a multitude of chemicals which are forced on us to consume despite our efforts not to.
I love you, Dr. Hyman but when do you ever stop with your old stories and let who your interviewing talk that’s who we’re trying to listen to we’ve heard your stories over and over again
I've read the IPCC 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change. They speak of it as "future" actions, when we have been watching is occur since the 1950's. If you dare to speak about it, you are ridiculed and called a conspiracy theorist. Thanks marion for bringing this up, it really needs to be addressed. It's affecting ALL life. 2018 was the last year to stop it legislatively. The question is, how do we get all countries to look at how it is affecting all life?
Dr. Hyman, I enjoy your videos; however, you constantly interrupted your guest mid-sentence. Isn't the idea of having a guest speaker to learn from them?
Kirtan Kriya meditation: golden light shooting on your crown chakra hitting the pineal gland & shooting out your 3rd eye improves sleep & intuition & brain & more depending what your brain needs
@@chinookvalley If you stay away from simple carb, sugar and walk. That is free! Brush your teeth and don't eat carb and sugar, you most likely may only need a Cleaning at the dentist. These things may keep you healthy and you may not need a specialist. Common sense!
Dr Hyman is goingon and on about the cases he has treated: please let the guest talk about the patients she has helped.... Yes you have alot of interesting casez but you need to let her dominate the conversation NOT you..
My mom started showing signs of dementia at the age of 95... she's almost 98 now and it has worsened but she still can call everyone on the phone..let me tell you. Her and my dad ate healthy for the most part and loved dancing and gardening etc. She was on hrt until the age of 83. Her vascular system is probably part of her dementia, they told me she has decreased blood flow to her legs but because of her age they just treat it was ith blood thinners..no surgery. I will also say my mom loves eggs . she's been eating 2 a day most of her life..i had to cut back giving her that much because it seems to give her diarrhea if she eats 2..she has no gallbladder and we all have ibsd
Quarter tspn of Cayenne pepper in half a glass of boiled water is great for opening veins, according to Barbara O'Neill, try getting her to drink it a couple of times a week, I'd recommend a switch to raw milk also if she isnt on it all ready. I started with memory problems in my 30s, I'm now 45 & struggle incredibly, I've begged doctors to check it's not early onset dementia or alzheimers & they think I'm crazy. Memory problems have caused me many problems including relying on my young children to stay on top of reminding me things & having to give up work, I also developed fibromyalgia amongst other things, neuropathy in my hands & feet, tremors, couldn't lift my left arm, stiffness, aches & pains, chronic fatigue etc etc. In the last 6 months, I switched diet, got rid of sugar, seed oils, started exercise, taking supplements & switched to eating more beef several times a week, organic fruit & veg only, introduced raw milk, honey, unpasteurised butter & started taking lions mane vitamins, it HAS HELPED. I don't know which has helped the most or if it's a combination but switching things you do daily that you know/find out are damaging, I.e I used to drink a lot of pasteurised milk, yet the doctor told me my bones are crumbling, & lost an inch off my height & pasteurised milk does nothing for us. I learned that cholesterol is actually important to brain health, something my diet was low in, animal fat & butter, heavy cream etc is essential to brain health. My diet prior I didn't eat fat, it was lean chicken as we were brainwashed animal fat causes health problems etc, yet studies show according to my research the lower the LDL cholesterol the higher the risk of memory problems, brain decline. The brain is made up of cholesterol & it's necessary for the brain to function correctly. How they read HDL/LDL cholesterol is all wrong according to newer more accurate research & when you track that back to when people started developing these health problems, they seem to correlate. We can't know everything but for right now, what I know is more accurate than what so called mainstream doctors are pushing. I've healed more doing this than 7 years on hard medication making my symptoms worse, trusting my doctor & healed absolutely nothing. I hope these tips help 🙏 Your mom's done so well getting to her age, I hope her symptoms can be reversed/stopped. All the very best 😊❤
I had a frontal lobe injury when I was a child back then they had swings with metal seats and I fell out and it came back and hit me in the head real hard. My mother said my frontal bone structure got very soft could injury to the frontal lobe cause dementia when you get older.
Our huge brains require ketones, made by the liver, along with glucose from birth to develop and be fueled properly. We spend our lives blocking ketone production with the crappy recommended diet full of sugar and junk starches. The brain is starved for decades. Any wonder we see an epidemic of AD? This problem begins when a baby is first given sugar. Being in a well fed ketogenic state as nature intended is the key to prevention. It may also offer some reversal, but geez, the damage is done.
Trying to help my father as his sole caretaker but it feels like it’s so complex to fix alone and I can’t afford a practitioner. What would be the main 3 issues to attempt to fix?
Basic issues treating dementia: exercise ( take him for a walk) diet - as a minimum get a low glycemic diet( no sugar/ junk food. Hormones- make sure his B12 and thyroid functions are normal.Good luck.
Thank you for doing this podcast! Both my Mom and sister passed away from advanced Alzheimer's. How concerned should I be? What are the best things I can do now to deter that from happening to me. Obviously, having two family members pass away from it is very concerning for me. Thank you!
Hi Jane; you ne d to buy Dr. Dale Bredesens books on reversing Cognitive decline. You are at risk because of your mom and sister. Youcango toa conventional doctor and get B 12 levels and thyroid hormone levels checked because these are treatable causes of cognitive decline. For lifestyle eliminate sugary foods and drinks and start a regular exercise programs- just walking daily will help.

Not important if you have it covered and it is low VOC. First fix your sleep diet, exercise, etc. all the big things help more , then address off gasing and VOCs in the home.
I have a question regarding hypothyroidism, and an elderly woman that stop taking her thyroid meds. She's had her thyroid removed years ago. Could this cause her to be more delusional, but also was diagnosed with Alzheimers. I reminded the family that she needs to take her meds daily. Has anyone seen this before? Thank you!
Guess I won’t be watching this based on the comments. Seems like he really botched this interview. Too bad since the content is so relevant to so many people.
Just ordered her book. I was in a clinical study for danaunab.(Sorry about the soelling). The drug company sent me a letter that its been approved by the fda! But i fear this is another of those drugs that just slow it down. This one attacks the ameloid plaques.
This presentation never really gets to the point. There are ways to filter out water for heavy metals and fluoride that are not expensive. There are technological devices, such as PEMR devices, earthing, and spending time in nature. Eating 75% Your normal size meal. Exercising to music and making sure you have movements that are asymmetrical, meditation with movement, being a nature and getting sunlight in your eyes at dawn and Sunset. Blue light blocking glasses and minimizing screen time. We do not need expensive IV infusions until it is proven that our body cannot absorb the vitamins that were eating. They are not covered by insurance and do not. Promote the understanding that the body in general must be taken care of as a whole. And this still does not cover shadow work, the spiritual, and energetic.
I would live to hear about fixing cognitive loss, memory loss, overall health loss and declining health for those who survived life threatening Sepsis. I know Post Sepsis Syndrome is a real thing. I suspect however that it maybe cause by all the medication pumped into us while in intensive care. And did we really consent? I have almost zero longterm memories anymore, and a short term memory of about 5 seconds....I'm not kidding.
Many do it with a herbalist. They go vegan fruit,veggies,nuts. They use things like ginkgo biloba, gotu kola and haritaki. All brain herbs. You go vegan to detox the blood and lymph.
Have you been taking probiotics since your sepsis subsided? Because antibiotics kill your gut bacteria, which means you aren't able to digest the nutrients out of your food. Also take kefir, quality cheese, homemade yogurt, and kimchee. Then get involved in a social activity where you'll be forced to talk face to face and/or move your body. Quit smoking! Don't drink alcohol because it's going to raise your blood sugar and hurt your brain. Do not eat foods fried in seed oil or corn oil. I also have memory issues, which are aggravated in hot weather presumably by dehydration, but also by eating tons of ice cream instead of keto-friendly foods.
Pain relief for acute pain is about all I trust, these prescription meds are dangerous & cause more health problems with killing healthy gut microbiome, especially antibios imho. The fluoride in toothpaste kills oral microbiome causing cavities & loss of teeth etc, plaque. The same for pets we force to eat fake carbs, their health problems mirror ours because they're in effect eating the same as us, fake carbs most of the time. Some tips I implemented below.

If people are living with Alzheimer’s, is their proof that they actually have Alzheimer’s or is it simply dementia? I thought the only way you could test for Alzheimer’s was an autopsy. Is that incorrect?
They both partake in a harmonious discussion. If Hyman is expected to speak very little why follow him as opposed to a rock that just sits there? Come on now.
