    I was very glad to see your video! About 20 years ago, family members were trying to convince my grams she was slipping in mental deterioration. Which, if you think about it, was incredibly cruel as grams had taken care of her Alzheimer's afflicted mother until her passing. I stopped all that by sending grams to 2 places, the library and the YMCA. She now reads at least 1 book a week and takes the Ys free Silver Sneaker program. She is slowing down a little but just had her 90th bday fully cognitive!

      Using the term Doctor very loosely. So loosely that I think you are a fraud. A holistic doctor is not a real profession. It is a self-important title to a man who hasn't updated his knowledge in over 20 years.
      TH-cam grows them proud. Personally I would have too much shame to just crown myself a doctor. But I guess shame is a characteristics you lack.

    My late father passed away last year from vascular dementia.
    It's an absolutely devastating way to die and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy if I had one. Until his diagnosis he was a very vital person in our life owning his own building business for some 40 odd years. In the early 80s my mum walked away from the marriage. It was my dad that took up the role of both mum,dad.
    He is unfortunately no longer with up but he is dearly missed.
    And there will never be anyone like him💗

    I'm 39, and a few months ago, I had a few stressful weeks followed by a very stressful interaction with a manager at work. After this I could immediately tell my memory was shot, my speech slowed down, I couldn't find the words, and I forgot the names of people I've known for many years that I had just talked to. I did research, and it all pointed to FTD, so I went to go get an MRI, and nothing showed up, so the Dr just dismissed me and only offered sleeping pills. I didn't take them but have learned to ignore the problems at work. I still need to work on why I can't fall back asleep. However, a recent video by Dr. Ekberg mentioned the benefits of apple cider vinegar before going to sleep. It's only been three nights so far, but I'm already getting way better sleep and am able to fall back asleep if I wake up in the middle of the night. I will continue to do so and report back if it has continued to work. In general, my brain is in slightly better shape now, but it was scary, and I'd like to fully recover. Thank you Dr. Ekberg. You have been a blessing.

    I agree lifestyle is important but I don't think anyone knows enough to speak definitively. My dad walked everyday. He played the trumpet and started learning the drums and to ride a horse. He read voraciously - all kinds of books and he had a huge music collection. He enjoyed wood working. This began after my mother died. He didn't get counselling. I think this trauma turned it on. My husband died suddenly when I was just turning 50. I felt like I was lost. I still worked and couldn't remember anything - people, places, anything. I got counselling and made myself consciously aware of this fight. I made myself consciously aware and thoughtfully fought the loss. I think stress and trauma are huge in this area. I sincerely appreciate your help. I wish more doctors still helped. Grief is what I'm talking about.

Just make sure to get lots of protein and animal fat and olive, avocado or coconut oils; while you also eat berries, prouts on salad, cooked greens, and fermented foods and mushrooms. Exercise rounds this all out. Also make sure your electrolytes are in balance! And check it all out with a doctor first.

They tend to sit or lead a sedentary lifestyle and often watch TV. Some TV shows aren't that great to stimulate the brain. Retirement is not a good idea for these kind of people and they are better off to go out and work. You hear people say I will get bored if I retire.

    Thank you so much Dr. Ekberg for bringing this subject to light in detail. I received Frontal Lobe Damage in 2016 due to a TBI sustained in a car accident. I overcame a lot in cognitive therapy, et al. but My Executive Functioning is still none existent. I've been following your channel since 2017. Your content has the most comprehensive information for me. It also aligns with my practices and values. I turned 60 this month and I am grateful for your efforts. I know I would be a lot worse off if I did not have a certain lifestyle and follow certain pratices (before and after the accident). I've been recommending your channel for a long time. Please do more on on this subject and keep up the good work.

      Perhaps red light therapy would help. My son suffered frontal lobe damage during birth, then childhood vax and autism diagnosis. He's 26 and slowly gaining more language and self regulation, able to follow directions better etc. No known side effects. It's been a tremendous gift. There are many YT videos on what red light can do for the brain specifically.

      Many scientist and doctors now know that dementia is 3rd diabetes type. So keto and carnviore diets work for these patients.
      Also, Bruce has the EXPERIMENTAL coivd shots. He needs to detox the heavy metals including mercury, graphene out of his body and also parasites (YEP) that were put in these EXPERIMENTAL coivd shots.
      There are ton of vids on how to detox your body of mercury, heavy metals (which are in ALL vaccines), parasites (many doctors believe 80-90% of citizens have them including USA citizens it's not just a 3rd world issues). see yt Dr Mindy Pelz, Dr Group, Eric Bakker naturopath, dr berg, Dr Mark Hyman vids on both how to detox heavy metals and also parasites. If you know somone that has dementia detox bodies (& brains) with the help of a Function or alternative medicine doctor (these are licensed doctors) or naturopath as you can get sick if you dont detox properly.

      Figure 10% of the calories you consume every day. So as I understand it, if you eat c. 1600 cal. daily, that would be 160 cal. from carbs. Since one carb has 4 calories, that means you want to eat 40 grams of carbs. (40x4=160). At first you should get a scale that measures grams as well as ounces. Then for awhile you’ll be wise to weigh your food to get a better idea of your macros. I did this for years when I was on the standard reduction diet, which was unfortunately too low in fat. So even though I lost weight, I was often hungry. Thanks to Dr. Ekberg I have upped my fat and lowered my carbs. Dropped 20 pounds so easily it made me giddy! Am now down to 120 pounds, my dream weight. I have more energy. Feel fantastic. I will never go back to the high carb low fat nonsense! This is a way of life.

    This is a great video, which explains many things we've heard about. I'd like to mention DANCING! Dancing kept my mom fit and mentally sharp until her 90th birthday. Unfortunately there were many toxins coming from the golf courses around her condo not to mention the pesticides they sprayed around there, and she got lymphoma. But she was sharp in her mind up until the end. PS - You didn't mention alcoholism's effect on the brain. (Mr. Willis had a heavy drinking habit for quite awhile). I had to quit eating sugar years ago due to intestinal dysbiosis acquired after a fateful trip to India. One piece of cake and I can feel sick for two weeks. There's so much to learn!

    Dr. Eckberg thank you so much for making this video. I am 63 years old and I am trying the best I can with the keto diet/Mediterranean diet. I was under tremendous stress taking care of my mother and father full-time for the last 13 years and it’s really taking a toll on me so I am fasting and I am taking, many supplements because I can’t afford most of the food… As you know, the food that is good for you is the very expensive food… Lol… Anyway, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this video because I am just petrified of getting Alzheimer’s and or dementia because it is in my family from my grandmother on my father side to my grandmother on my mother side and my mom and a couple of aunts and uncles. The only thing that I am lacking is exercise. I will say I love to learn and I have 9° and I’ve read over 13,000 books. One of my goal is to read a book for every day of my life and I lived about 25,000 days, so I am about 12,000 books behind… But I will catch up… I hope I get to meet you someday you truly are a genius and one of the things I research a lot of is brilliant people and how they think and you are definitely on that list so I’m going to watch a lot of your videos and listen to your podcastsand learn as much as I can from what you teach.

I quit sugar a year ago but occasionally fall (3×s in 6 months) instead of daily. Next, i quit starches. In January, i went full carnivore, with the odd keto cheat, and have never felt better. My brain is clear, pain is now minimal, and i've lost 55 pounds.

He cites a study where dementia patients on statins had cognition tested, then stopped the statins for 6 weeks and tested better on cognition, then back on statins and six weeks later had reduced cognition again. Seems to be a link.

This includes drastically reducing fast food, sugar and processed foods/oils, choosing organic/non-GMO foods as much as possible while on a budget and making intermittent fasting a part of my protocol. Friends have seen the changes in me (now at my ideal weight--last seen in college), but they seem to have no interest in making small modifications to improve their lives. I've shared his videos w/several friends and it makes me sad to see them drinking pop, eating fast food regularly, etc. Just wanted to give you a heads-up on how difficult it is to change people's minds/habits.
