If you're concerned about Alzheimer's dementia, and taking cholesterol medication, I'm going to highly encourage you to read the below 😳

Things that make you go hmmm 🤔

FYI: statins = cholesterol meds

Remove statins = brain function improves with Alzheimer's dementia

Add statins back = brain function decreases with those same Alzheimer's patients

"Maybe" it's because we are barking up the wrong tree with both heart disease and dementia (we are).

Cholesterol is not what causes heart disease.

Arbitrarily lowering this "boogey man" creates a whole host of other issues.

I'm not going to re-hash it here because I've already written about it.

As far as dementia and Alzheimer's goes, we are also trying to address the wrong issues with our traditional medical approaches.

It's not going to work.

It didn't work with my grandmother. And it's why dementia & Alzheimer's rates continue to rise.

Again, I'm not going to re-hash dementia/Alzheimer's solutions here.

I've written about this exact subject in depth.

If you want to take care of heart disease or dementia/Alzheimer's, you will need to improve your metabolic function.

This is not going to come in the form of a pill.

It will require you to make lifestyle changes.

One of the biggest areas of your life for metabolic improvement, is how you fuel your body, brain & heart.

It's why I write about food & fluids so much.

You have to start there as a foundation & build upon it.

I know both my patients & followers here are often confused when it comes to diet and their health.

They hear so much conflicting information.

It's understandable why they are confused.

Many, frankly, teach theory and regurgitate what they've been taught in school.

They have no practical application in the real world, with actual positive results.

I had to un-learn a lot of what I was taught. It didn't work for me or my patients.

I had to get myself healthy. I then started applying it with patients.

The results I now see in the clinic are "miraculous" when we start fueling or bodies with a genetically-congruent diet.

If you have a family history of heart disease, dementia, Alzheimer's....or maybe you already have signs and symptoms of metabolic dysfunction

•High Triglycerides
•High A1c
•Low HDL
•Low Energy
•Brain Fog
•Carrying Extra Weight

If you fall into any of these categories, I'm going to highly encourage you to begin making lifestyle changes.

Not only will you feel better about yourself, but your quality of life will greatly improve.

I can promise you that!

And, you will live longer.. another bonus 😉

Start with dietary changes (this will have the largest impact) and then go from there to make other changes.

It's well worth it!
