I never drink alcohol and never smoked in my entire life! Never took drugs.... and always nourished myself with a Mediterranean diet! .... My parents were born in Italy and they always cultivated a vegetable garden as long as I can remember.... My mom was an excellent cook - as a result all of her children were beautiful and healthy! My mom prepared the most delicious platters of food.... Zuccinni, eggplant... broccoli, cabbage, ... Chicken consommé freshly made with 7 vegetables.... and served with egg noodles that she prepared .... and I have continued in her foot steps! Thank God I am still going strong and of course walking every day....I am a mature lady!❤🥊
2 YEARS AGO.................I felt my brain shutting down and was alarmed I couldn't drive as was confusing the brake and acceleration...........that really shocked me into taking drastic action. I water fast off and on for several months and clean food. CURED....................and overhauled my whole brain. INCREDIABLE.
@@Ukadria 1st fast 3days. Following week 5days 2 weeks later 10 days , following month 7 days 2x, following month 5 days x2, following months 2days a week and intermittent fasting.
Fifty one years ago I was ejected from a car traveling at 70mph out the windshield. A traumatic brain injury took several years to to recover from. Praise God for the design of brain regeneration.
your god threw you out of a moving vehicle at 70mph! i dont think you healed all the way if your still praising him. just saying. im glad you pulled through, but I dont know what kind of weird Stockholm syndrome you've got going on.. (I, too, am a TBI survivor)
@@michaelmelamed9103Probably not, 51 years ago but what greater testimony to God's mercy that he didn't die. God is good and true. Humans are not robots or predictable creatures they have the freedom of choices and don't always make good choices. But sometimes they make good choices, depends on the environment and the how the person chooses to perceive what is happening to them.
@@texaslovelylady *Possibly* not; not everyone did, but plenty of us did in 1973. Despite having been thrown from an overturning car in 1956, (back window for me, rather than windshield as with dg2152,) I was later influenced by Chuck Berry's "No Particular Place to Go", which left me fearful of being trapped in a burning car in case of an accident, unable to get out of a seatbelt. Fortunately for me, (though I did not feel that way at the time,) I was dating a safety-oriented small-time race-car driver who demanded that I wear a seatbelt. Though we didn't last, the habit of wearing a seatbelt did, and it has saved me from injury more than once.
I firmly believe this…while rollerblading one evening, an unknowing brain aneurysm ruptured…as I lay in the hospital bed looking out the window, I was just visualizing blading on Saturday, visualizing in my mind the moves, the music…two months later I was back jogging, nine months later I was back rollerblading! The brain definitely can regenerate!
You connected with the law of Attraction without energy blockages like doubt or fear to get in the way.... whatever you place your attention on, will come to pass.❤ you gave your body the full body experience ... you aligned your mind body and spirit.... which is a powerful fast way to manifest all your desires, because there is no such thing as past or future, time is not linear, there's only the present and the now, that's all the body knows. So it does what you tell it to do ... so most people run on subconscious programs and don't even know the kind of low vibrational negative self-talk and judgments and fears that permeate their thoughts and their bodies all day long. And then they wonder why things happened to them LOL it's because they're creating it themselves, as lessons to wake them up ❤ nothing is done to us, it's always being done for us😊
@@joinZOEThanks for this guest and interview. It gives us/ me hope. As a toddler, I was given large amounts of antibiotics. That screwed up my gut. A flood of food allergies began. Later, I was told my endothelial linings were gone. Was diagnosed as being Autistic. State Drs. Gave up on me. They gave me no ideas of what to do. They gave me no hope. I improved my diet. I hired a Naturopath and followed her advice. I reversed my bone loss. Maintained a healthy weight, began introducing foods like fresh greens, coconut oil, avacados,Salmon. I walked about 10 min. at a time to build myself up.At 62 I can out walk others I know. I garden in pots. I was told to live with the pain, so I began using enzymes to defeat Fibrin. I took a test the local school teachers take and I scored higher. People can improve and it's a lovely message to hear !.
This is why we need to find a way to get us women in menopause help for sleep. I have perfect sleep hygiene but since menopause falling asleep and staying asleep is almost impossible without turning to meds to help sleep.
@@llkoolbean4935 I hate when they talk about sleep being important, prior to menopause I slept 8 or more hours almost every night of my life. Now I'm LUCKY if I get 5 broken hours, most nights it's less than 3 and I work FT
YES, please and thank you. I can’t take melatonin (induces crazy and terrifying night terrors). Insomnia is systemically wrecking every aspect of my life and health.
Stretch when you wake up in bed do a few exercises in bed - youtube has lots of videos, do not sit for more than 20 mins - be active, my ma- in- law turned 100 was active all her life, takes a 1 hr nap every noon 1pm to 2pm, lunch daily at 12.30pm, dinner not later than 6.30pm, do a good deed every day, donate stuff you don't need, pray for peace, help those who need, forgive and forget, live a minimalist life - too much stuff around the house is not good, get blackout window curtains, no lights in the bedroom, no cell phone in your bedroom, no TV in your bedroom, go for a 30 minute walk after dinner, get a cat or dog. Start a 9.30pm bedtime routine. Going to start the tart cherry & clove suggestions. Thank you.
@edieiyon I agree that clutter is unhealthy but believe that rather than living a minimalist existence we might instead strive to live a full and abundant life. Sharing that abundance actually tends to bring further abundance. Seek joy in all things including the material things, as there is a time and place for all of it when kept in balance...
I work in sales..if you wan to make a lot of money in a short time...do this let me emphasize a short time... I so burnt out at this point the stress is horrible!!!! and I could feel that this ..would shorten my life to life quality if had to keep doing it....However, I save a good[portion got portion stone by NC realtors home owner/sellers and homeowners ( here you have to pay them a nonrefundable fee to get the house checked out most knew they were scamming)... I felt like a cold swoosh on the side of my top scalp .wonder that was a little bit of confusion... so yeah the stress people really don't pay attention to and it is a big problem.. I sit for most of the day they need you at he computer and you will pay for not having at minimum 8 hours on the line or phones... very unhealthy... I am going to let my departure from this job take it course and it is coming one way to another...a coworker had a stroke there before getting canned any way...
Dementia is number one for me. My family is not cancer prone on either side but my mother, aunt, and grandmother had Alzheimers, the former two very severe. I got the apoe test done and am apoe2/4. So both great news and less than great but the not great was expected so the great was....great!
Celery juice on empty stomach daily. Eat 1 cup of Wild Blueberries daily...in frozen food dept. In Japan study showed 24%improvement in cognition in 6 weeks eating this. Take Choline daily....really sharpens the brain. . I have used this on my 100year old Mother.... cognition improved. Spermadine supplement improves cognition.... ❤
@@renus6015 apoe is a gene for demetia, if you go to 23andme you can run your genes and see what you are at high risk for according to your genes that were passed on by your parents. You could have say one apoe gene from your father but not your mother, so you may be only mild chance of getting it, if you have both you are at higher risk, in that case you would try to do the best you can to prevent it ie diet, exercise, what ever helps with that gene. Just because you have the gene doesn't mean you will get it, but that you can trigger it by your behavior. Lets say your genes show you are at higher risk for a heart attack, you then know to keep your cholesterol down, eat lots of fruit, veggie, fiber etc, watch weight and get exercise, etc. But, a lot of people think if their parents died of a heart attack that that means their genes had that risk and you now have that risk, but the majority of the time it was just what they ate thru their life, obesity, lack of movement, etc. Most disease is caused by our own lifestyle, not our genes, but if you know you have gene that increases your chance for the disease you have a chance to correct your journey.
I’m 70 and have had copd over 20 years and been on oxygen and what keeps me alive is excercise which I didn’t start until a few years ago.It makes me breathe better and I’m still learning about diet.This man is the real deal!
I'm turning 70 in a few weeks, I'm right there with you and I had a heart attack in 21 and now I've transitioned to carnivore and it's made more of a difference than anything else, off of all meds including sugar and seed oils!
I had COPD half my life and was on an inhaler etc. I went carnivore and, like all the other inflammation caused diseases I was on meds and dealing with, they all disappeared shortly after going carnivore. I can do sprints now when before I was out of breath just from showering. Carbs, sugar, vegetable/seed oils, smoking, and drinking booze all cause inflammation that leads to disease. Cut them all out and you'll improve like I did. I'm 54 and feel like a kid again.
But it must be the green mediterran diet, not what we all know from vacation. Whole grains, lots of vegetables, leafy greens, fruit, fruits, lots of still water, no meat, no alcohol, no cigarettes...
I suffered mild stroke ( TIA ) and took angiogram and found out that I have a 90% 80%70%60%50%40%20% blocked arteries in my heart. My doctor told me that I might drop dead anytime. I was scheduled for CABG triple heart bypass surgery which I declined . I change my lifestyle eats organic foods take supplements keto diet exercise, stayed away from stress. Its been 5 yrs now and I am still alive and feeling better.
Yeah whatever you do don’t just eat healthy vegs, grains, fruit and beans while dumping processed foods and red meat. Definitely get on the drugs and treatments and into the sickcare system.
I’m 81 and 8 weeks ago I started making most of these changes related to my situation. So, I thank you. Diabetes, stage three kidney disease, fatty liver and insulin resistance. Through your discussion I could see the whole system working together and interconnected, each dependent on the others.
Good for you!!! Its never too late to improve your health! I started using a at home medical device that improves Micro Circulation, it's improved my 66 year old body amazingly!!
Whole Foods, Plant-Based Diet, high and fruits and vegetables and whole grains will heal your body. And omega-3 foods, Along with drinking a lot of water and exercise❣️
Excellent interview. I am not convinced about a plant based diet, but go out of my way to get plenty of flavonoids and fiber. At 80 years I need more protein and iron. I walk 3-10 miles a day most days, and work out at least 3 days a week. I am still doing successful work as a senior analyst and sail a small boat whenever I can. Major issues are worries about balance, and increasing difficulty with short term memory. Your interviews are very helpful.
Go carnivore and all diseases will be cured in a short time. Including those that are "incurable." Wonderful doctors are Dr. Chaffee (brain surgeon), Dr. Ken Berry (family doctor), Dr Ovadia (heart surgeon), Dr. Lisa Wiedeman (eye doctor), ....
You are right; while avoiding processed foods is absolutely necessary, a plant they stay at can result in many deficiencies such as protein, B12, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin D, and more if not carefully supplemented. But a meat based, whole foods diet that avoids the many food-like substances made in factories is a winner.
Dr Li is an absolute National Treasure! All doctors should have.His positivity, kindness and expertise. He understands the "system", not just one aspect of it. He gets the totality of the human body and how they interconnect, from the tip of the toes to the top of the head. Dr Li is the future of medicine! To sum up Dr Li's healthful living: eat a plant based diet & MOVE your body!
Not if you have sitosterolemia/phytosterolemia. Then vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, grains...not good. Neither are things like green smoothies, milk thistle, aloe...etc.
The late Edgar Cayce who was the Father of Holistic Medicine, and which his research center is still in Virginia Beach, VA - The A.R.E., recommended proper posture for allowing good circulation to the brain. And every morning upon awakening, take three deep breaths or more by inhaling deeply through your nose, and then exhaling through your mouth. This helps release toxins out if your system that accumulated over night. You ca also do this throughout the day, and also be mindful of practicing regular deep breathing throughout the day. The herb Ginko is said to improve blood circulation to the central nervous system, aids in the treatment of dementia and Alzheimers. It also strengthens the blood vascular system and decreasing the possibilities of clots, therefore there is a strong possibility of strokes being prevented. Coconut oil is also shown to help prevent dementia and Alzheimers. Of course, a clean diet, exercise, an adequate sleep are also very important for a healthy brain.
everyone always forgets the most critical -- stay off your damn phones/devices most are addicted to! EMFs, cell towers. Other things that help? Acupuncture, HBOT, ozone, etc I don't think we're supposed to exhale through our mouth, ever...
@@jenifernadeau You are so lucky and I wish you could tell me what that course is like? and I want to register to learn, please tell me about that course
Thank you for inviting Dr Li back! He is one doctor I really feel trust for. He sticks to what's currently known on a topic and presents it in a way to make it easily digestible. I always love your summaries at the end Jonathan. Thank you!
I had a major surgery in 1990 at 40 yrs of age upped my water to get stamina back but I was following unwise media / MDs and limiting salt for many years by then... in a year or so I developed nonstop excruciating joint pain, another year I couldn't think straight , drive safely or do my job (electrical wiring) just happen on WaterCure site looking for a filter.... Read "your bodies many cries for water" and learned how bad the salt limiting was and adding back correct % turned the dementia around in just a few weeks!! and the staggering pain in a couple months! Seriously salt is LIFE with water in correct amounts.
Salt to taste appears to give the optimal level for health. Better to use sea salt or if blood pressure is an issue, one of the low sodium salts - as potassium counteracts the negative effect of sodium. Some people separate consumption of food and water when they have digestive problems so that stomach acid is not diluted when digesting food.
Good Sea salt Not table... Helps the cells use and hold enough necessary water💦 it's essential for everything... Floats your brain and lubes your joints literally....
My twin sister died of dementia from depression at age 60 , I’m almost 71 and found out our father was not our real one, thier is lots of brain problems on my real father’s side. Aneurisms, brain tumors and , alzheimer’s, so I went to my neurologist, he did a MRI , it showed I’m getting early alzheimer’s!!! I was diagnosed with MS but he said it smoldered away! I have had many headaches and been to hospital when I get them only to find out I have yet another lesion , and was told I have ischemic brain syndrome, I passed the cognitive test above average! I do have anxiety that’s it!! I’m going to my 1 yr follow up appointment in July and have just found your channel , I don’t drink as it makes me sick, I’m delighted to find your channel and really appreciate you!! But was wondering how does one be diagnosed with MS then have it smolder away??? Ty
It sounds like a living body is constantly evolving OR devolving, depending on how it is treated and employed. We need to start taking responsibility for our bodies, rather than abuse them, and then run to the doctor for a fix when they break!
I was on 20mg statins, but my doctor asked me to try managing my high cholesterol by diet change instead (reason he gave is that my statin dose is low). I agreed but now I'm wondering if I should not have stopped the statins.
Vascular dementia correlates with stroke it is very common in my patients as a RN I've seen it in my patients from a multimillionaire to middle class patients. It doesn't discriminate the social class. We need more funding with research. I noticed that it relates with hard of hearing I experienced with my grandma and my aunt. The surprising fact is it's not genetic.
Was is that surprising? I know someone that got it from a stroke. Probably extremely common. I'm not in the medical field but isn't there micro circulation to the inner ear? My mother lost much of her hearing but the mind remains sharp same with my Aunt so I don't know....
you said multimillionaire to middle class patients...but what about low income? We don't need "more funding" for research.....that will be skewed. The main thing is stay OUT of the 'system' as mainstream is CRAP. C-diff. He is wrong that there is no genetic component....maternal line is stronger BUT lifestyle IS key and can override genes. Yes, as long as there is lack of blood flow, therefore oxygen, will cause vascular dementia. Anemia can do it, but so can iron overload, copper deficiency (big). As a nurse, I am disgusted with what we weren't taught. Very very limited, sad and scary. They left me for dead and I wasn't supposed to survive. I did, and no thanks to them, and all thanks to God and my fight to exist and thrive. I'm still disabled, but working on it! Get out of the system....you'll learn more. Mineral deficiencies are soooooo important and not tested. Not good!
I have a rare genetic disease, and I really resent when people say: you're lucky you don't have a bad case. It's not luck at all. I listen to interviews like this and do exactly as recommended and that is why I am doing so well.
I have CMT which also a genetic condition like MS. I also take very good care of myself with exercise, diet and supplements. That is why I am doing so well.
People are brainwashed into thining their health outcomes are pure luck and uncontrollable. That gives them freedom to continue engaging in poor health practices they want to keep doing. When you're not doing as poorly as your disease should make you, they have to attribute "luck" instead of facing the fact that your actions might have outcomes, because otherwise their actions might have outcomes too, and that would be very painful for them to face.
I remembered...... that there was an omission in this show because it didn't mention the role of pollution which has been linked to dementia, and in the UK now we have this trend for enormous American style cars which are safer for the people who drive them but either eight times more likely to kill a maim pedestrians. particularly children, including with head injuries that can predispose to dementia. As individuals we can only do so much and if we live in a society which is very selfish then there will be health consequences in all sorts of ways. Dr Li rightly makes the link between the gut, the heart and the Brain but there is also a link between our health and the environment and society. The biggest improvements to the health of millions hasn't been paying a small fortune for private health care whether through Zoe or Bupa but through public health measures such as having clean water now we need cleaner air and safer streets
I have not watched yet but I assume there is no mention of the bioweapon nor the 5G EMF poisoning side effects that they released the bioweapon to mask.
Thank you Jonathan, this interview was great, very informatif and Dr Li is so well spoken, straight to the point. Not boring at all. Thank you Dr. Li. Much appreciated.
You don’t need to go to the gym. I’m just turning 59yo post menopausal female. I do dumbbell weights 3x a week. My aim is lifting heavy to close failure on my third. Doesn’t take much time and I do it from home (I do have a barbell as well as it’s my sons) but I manly do dumbbell. Started with Centr app and now heavier lifting with TH-cam Cheryl Coulombe. I sleep better am stronger, better body composition. I also walk the dog twice a day but that’s more for movement than exercise.
Infrared sauna red light therapy widens blood vessels. Diet, exercise, sleep & stress management just as important as blood pressure meds. Gut, brain, heart, lymphatics...protect them at all cost & do the work necessary to preserve them. (Love the glasses)
Will alludes to some beautiful analogies in his communication here with blood vessels as garden hoses, endothelial cells & the ice skating rink, rough or smooth. These heuristic tools are very helpful in imparting understanding. A thoroughly enjoyable interview! My mother is aged 94 but there is no longevity genes identifiable in the family history. She eats sweets regularly but goes off with her walker three times a day around the age care home. It is the only thing that I can put her longevity down to. Although anecdotal Cardio training does seem to enhance longevity!
Great informative podcast with one of my favourite scientist who has the ability to explain what could be a very complex subject in a way that retains my interest and significantly improves my knowledge .I have had 2 different bouts of cancer,from which I have recovered, which interestingly occured soon after 2 very stressful episodes in my life .caught early which is half the battle and 15 years later !!!! trying my upmost to live a healthy life and taking advice from your interesting podcasts .Thankyou
Great discussion. Dr William Li……. You are always a joy to listen too….. you bring great wisdom and understanding to all aspects of health. Much like Jonathan… I struggle to get my parents-in-law to believe that there is a correlation between diet and lifestyle which is so sad. I nursed my Mum through dementia and my Dad with heart disease. Diet and lifestyle seems to dismissed by conventional medicine and pharmaceuticals prescribed instead. We need more Dr Li’s in this world….. keep educating and planting these seeds. Also thank ZOE for bring a wealth of experts to our attention.
This needs teaching in schools. Doctors need teaching about nutrition rather than fobbing us off with pills. Seeing about 80% overweight young adults at a Paramour concert in Brum last year made me realise the younger generation are on a slippery slope to massive health problems. Hell they probably won't even make it to old age if they don't sort themselves out. The way the health service is being shafted they won't even have a free health service to help them. We were sold a lie though about brown bread etc being healthier when in fact, it's just another ultra processed food. Supermarkets have a lot to answer for when up to 80% of the food they sell is processed. Lots of food for thought in this interview thanks. The UK has 40+% obesity rate. We will end up as bad as the US at 66% if we carry carry on as we are.

Don't eat! By that I mean start fasting be it intermittent or full on 3 day water fasts, Even better than all these BS diets and food recommendations! Doctors and all these health companies don't like it because it's free, Resets your body and gets rid of all the excess cells even disease and cancer cells. When your body is starved of food it has no choice but to use whatever is available, It starts by getting rid of the stuff that shouldn't be there in the first place. Problem is we all tend to eat something every few hours so your body is never getting rid of the waste.

Sadly, I have not slept much in the past almost two years. I have been having brain fog, memory problems, breathing problems, chest pains, heart problems, depression, headaches, etc.. We were in a car accident almost two years ago. I didn't sleep that night at all, my anxiety was off the chart the moment the guy hit us and I was sick to my stomach that night for the first time in decades. I have been dealing with pain, stress, anxiety, etc. ever since and have not been able to sleep more than two to three hours at a time. I fall asleep several times during the day but I only sleep for maybe about 10 minutes before waking up again. I will fall asleep at the beginning of a movie and I will wake up and fall asleep at least a dozen times during the moving. Even after sleeping for two to three hours, I feel as if I hadn't slept for a week. I hardly have any energy in the morning....it's like I wake up at 1% energy life and I have to get through the day from there. I have tried everything but I still cannot sleep well. We are still dealing with issues from the car accident, we had just moved to a new town from out of state the day before, we did not know anything about the town, we did not know anyone here, we were a week away from buying a house that needed to be renovated which has been very slow going because of our injuries.....we are still trying to finish painting the interior 22 months later, we are still trying to get the mechanical problem on our car fixed, we've had to pay for a lot of things out of our own pocket, we have not been able to work, so all of that has added to the stress. I was told by one doctor that our bodies are not healing if we are not getting good quality sleep which would explain why physical therapy was not doing anything and why we are not feeling better and are still having a lot of pain.
Sorry to hear still having problems from your accident. Don't know what your injuries are, but Chiropractic can help alot especially if vertebraes and joints are locked up, it interferes with nervous system. Acupuncture has its place too. Sounds like some ptsd also-possibly? Don't give up, the body continues to heal. Mds can only do so much, bc drugs help symptoms but don't repair problem in my opinion. Healthy food. Find natural solutions like the above. Best wishes and better health.
Possibly talk with an integrative behavioral health therapist. To take a look at both the medical problems and the effects of the trauma symptoms together.
@@Piper7cub you may also want to try hyperbaric oxygen chamber in your region. I hear it is to be very good for healing body so much. Trauma counseling therapy also for ptsd. Find a good Palmer chiropractor. Techniques: Thompson, Diversified, Activator to start.
Poor sleep hygiene has increased your health problems and your anxiety. They will and can multiply due to lack of sleep. Sleep is healing and restorative. Get that fixed.
Always treasure Dr. Li's explanations on various health issues. Bought both of his books and have been able to enhance my quality of life by introducing foods that will benefit the body.
An interesting and informative interview. But you didn’t really discuss diet and nutrition choices, which you left to the end, as you said, keeping listeners waiting, and then you just skipped through it very briefly. The whole point of the interview was set up to end by giving listeners good advice on diet and nutrition. That didn’t happen. Disappointing.
This was brilliant thanks. We know that things like exercise, eating the rainbow, avoiding excessive alcohol are good for us, but it really helps to understand the underlying mechanisms of how these things reduce the risk of dementia. I feel so encouraged by Dr Li and I hope his Mum improves. I’m off for a walk now!
This is exactly why we need more support for women going through menopause, especially when it comes to sleep. Despite following all the best sleep hygiene practices, falling asleep and staying asleep has become a real challenge during this phase. It’s frustrating to feel like medication is the only option for a good night’s rest. More attention and solutions for this issue would make such a difference for so many women.
Thank you for all the work you both do! It was really great meeting Dr. Li last year at the Women's Health Conference in Newport. I'm so grateful to be able to learn and share the benefits of plant based eating and exercise with others. Keep up the good work!
Yes, it's important to stop all stress, and to eat real human foods, drink water, and sleep. I had to make drastic changes in my life. but when I did,..wow.. It was a life changer for the better, I eat absolutely no sugar anymore, I eat more fatty meats and much less carbohydrates. Feel so much better and my inflamed blood vessels got so much better.
I love listening to Mr. Li... he has mastered the art of putting things in simple terms where everyone can understand they can make small changes and continue making larger changes to actually reverse cellular damage
I know, I know we need to have a good sleep but someone please please please come out with an effective solution to insomnia so that I and millions others can get a good sleep every night.
Try eating instant noodle at night. Make your own broth, don't use the included packages. If you are afraid of weight gain, don't eat carb during the day.
Can I ask if the tinnitus that I now suffering with is a brain problem. I had a few falls but in 2019 I hit my head and started having sever tinnitus which keeps me awake at night..Dr Li is amazing guy so informative and just can't get enough of his knowledge to offer everyone to teach us the rights and wrongs of do & don't. Thank you Dr Li 🙏
ZOE , great invited guest 👏. You have brought scientific knowledge down to the level of the common man. I've always been looking for something like this because I like to learn and improve my life, and here everything is presented in an accessible form. My top
Thank you very much for sharing all these information. It is like an anatomy and physiology class. May the Lord bless you and your work and help us listeners to take care of our bodies better for long, healthy productive lives.
Let's spend a podcast on sleeplessness that comes with menopause even when you follow all the recommendations for improving sleep. All i hear about is how important sleep is, and nothing about menopausal sleeplessness.
Read the responses under Barbara comment about same, menopause sleep. 90+ comments with excellent feedback. I added a few, including detoxing the gut for months, salt water enemas , colonics, and extra efforts 8nto kept steps like restoring minerals, and avoiding screens for days , many days in a row.
My dad came to live with me 6 months ago at 75. He was confused and forgetful. Unfortunately it was the beginning of winter but i immediately transitioned him out of proceed food . Had to lock the fridge. Eggs, beef, sardine and very nutritive smoothies and the best supplements. Very small amounts of things he enjoyed to avoid shock, rice, potato, fruit.. by spring he was worse and rapidly declined, unable to walk to get in the sun or toilet himself. Quit eating 6 eggs in the morning and talking. I was really hoping... Never dreamed the decline would be so sudden. I wonder if this is typical. Edit: now that I know about vascular dementia, I've started taking him to hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy with great improvement.
Give him magnesium Theorant …( spelling) it’s fir the brain supplements….give him black seed oil ingredients native saliva ..and..nattto…a Japanese ….fermented bean …thank…me l later….plenty of fruits ..no starches …no rice
My Aunt has severe dementia now and it seems to have started after she took the mRNA potion 2.5 years ago. Before that she was sharp and healthy. Now she can't remember what she did 5 mins ago and even family members names. I believe her blood vessels have been damaged....
She needs to drink lots of water and electrolytes daily. Trust me she's dehydrated. It happens so easily to elderly and is the major cause of dehydration. Ifnshe drinks water alone she will urinate out all her minerals her body needs.. but ester is a life saver of brains because whrn elderly aare dehydrated their veins shut down.... going trinity regularly with my 93nyr old dad..last few days were the worst he literally got so badjinthought it was the end.. nurse couldn't even get ml of blood as his veins were shut down completely.. had him non PENICILLIN ANTIBIOTICS the minute confusion appears because MOST DEMENTIA CAUSED WITHER BY UTI urine infection OR DEHYDRATION. mu dad is on antibiotics almost every 2 or 3 months.. penicillin and lots water with electrolytes in the water so he doesn't lose minerals..and within days he's 100% SHARP FIT & HEALTHY again. Thing is I learned by my elderly mom who we lost and she couldnhave been saved by antibiotics for uti urine infection and water to stop dehydration. Doctors kinda let them go in late 80's or 90's or recommend them to nursing homes..where they will neverngetnthe attention they need to recover from a utility or dehydration. WATER 💧 or any fluids but avoid too much sugar drunks, And Antibiotics. Works every time for 4nyrsnfor my dad. Then regular vitamin d and multivitamin Gos bless 👋
I am very grateful to the Doctor for sharing so I can understand: What happens inside our brain while we sleep. I will synthesize and share this knowledge with viewers on my channel. Many thanks to Zoe and Doctor!
Makes sense I hope these health lessons could be rolled out to young people as part of a standard education in 6th form. That way these health lessons may improve health of nation.
very interesting theme and information delivered, it's a shame the interviewer who is way less informed in the topic keeps stopping and interrupting so much that a lot of knowledge/information is missed
This is the best intro I have seen for any of your videos. (TBH I have not watched them all because whilst your content is important the presentation was not great.) I have shared this with my friend whose wife is raising money for a dementia charity. You should ask people to comment as that helps promote content on TH-cam.
This is an excellent and exciting presentation. You (Jonathan and Dr Li) make a great team. The summaries help me compensate for my vascular dementia. Thanks!
Wonderful information both. My mother has Parkinson’s and I am very interested in helping her remain well - I see that nutrition is very important. Very interesting how the heart affects the brain! Fascinating.
Interesting. I'm thwarted again, as HFI precludes me from doing the ZOE programme (I did enquire about it), and I can't eat a plant based diet. I do try to do the best I can within the confines of a fructose, sucrose and sorbitol free diet, I sleep well and regularly exercise. I have to adapt to what will work for me!
This was am excellent interview. Dr. William Li gives us good news explained really well with lots of practical suggestions. I have a few of his books, Eat to Beat Disease is a great one. "Health care is what WE do at home".
The host is smart and processes information very quickly like a crazy Katarynka and also has a good memory because he wants to learn from the invited guests, but the professor is simply a class: he always has a high level of focus and attention and presents his knowledge in a very accessible way.
Thank you for your expertise on Dementia. My mom had it she didt pass from it, but it's such a terrible disease. She was 91 years old. I wish i could turn back time. Love you mom. You are awesome Dr Li.
Love Dr Li, this is one of my favourite podcasts, I love the way he explains things making it easy for everyone to understand. My dad had Alzheimer’s and my mother had dementia so it’s of such importance for me to learn all I can about the disease
It could be caused by hernated discs in the neck area as well, which blocks the blood flow to the head. You may want to get an mri for her neck (also bone issues when people gets older). And be careful with how you interact with your mom so that she feels being loved. My mom had stiff neck from time to time, later had colasped verterbrate if I remember corretcly in between her shoulder blades (but it caused her to have very similar symptoms as hot flashes. She could not sleep on her back because she would feel so hot that it made her sweat. But she was then about 65 and she had manapause by 45). When my sister said things that are crude and unloving, my mom soon had dementia because she fetl very sad. Be always very sweet to your elderly parents and show them you care anf respect them, not saying that you are not, but my sister would get cranky and says unloving statements if she bought my mom vitamins and my mom does not want to take them, etc. And my mom was a very smart woman with her choices.
I was a person that slept little thought sleeping was a waste of time. now 58 I purchased a NEXRING to help me improve my quality of sleep, its spot on when I experience brain fog, its always related to my quality of sleep. Sleep, Daytime stress, Exercise data, Readiness Score (Heart rate Dip, HRV, Total sleep, Finger Temp) Heart rate dip, SP02, Respiratory rate, Heart rate. The ring helps me determine what effects my sleep..
My grandmother died of alzheimer's. In the end, they said the reason she died, is because after forgetting everything else, finally she simply forgot how to breathe.
Wow, Dr, William Li, this was the best, most brilliant explanation ever. Thank you so much for your time to do this. Everybody should watch this video. Thank you ZOE.
I have a higher bloodpressure genetically and cannot eat vessel dialators (felodipine etc) anymore. I'm 52 and am only on betablockers now. I'm in great physical condition , slim and energetic. My gut health is perfect and has always been. The only thing is the pressure and really, I cannot eat more medicines. Itt is like 150/70 at it's best but I'm always always stressed when it is taken. My mother is 74 with a high BP aswell. She is in perfect shape both mentally and physically. Im on keto/paleo diiet, taking Omega 3 and D3. When I was on felodipine for 17 years I finally got really sick from it. My body could not tolerate itt anymore. So I'm only on beta blockers now but I have to split the pill and take it 2 time/day because otherwise I feel like crap from that to. I really hate the white coat ...:(
Try your nitro system (beetroots and related) as a boost to your endothelium and eat broccoli, brussel sprouts and similar for also their feature of helping your blood vessels...try that every day for 6 weeks and see if it helps you. If it is genetic and works for you, may also work for your mum. Good luck.
Happened to have found this site by accident and thankful I did. Dr. Li is amazing and finding a site about science based nutrition is like hitting the jackpot. Thank you for sharing this interview. I will share this with others as well.
Would be so much better if there weren’t any interruptions or repetition of exactly what was just said - your interviewees are super experienced communicators - we “get it” when they talk.
You discussed assessment. For people focused on prevention, what at the assessments blood markers we should be looking at. For cardiovascular: APOB, any, more? For diabetes HbA1C and Triglyceride levels, insulin resisters, fasting glucose levels. Any more? For inflammation: CRP, C-reactive Protein, TNFL. And alpha…(something). A podcast explains these markers would be helpful. Thanks so much. Since I am a member, I will also ask through that portal.
Membership is worth what you put into it. There is testing an education component that is helpful. And you can input your meals every day and receive an evaluation of your food choices based on your testing profile. The focus is on eating quality (plant-based mostly) food in proportions that doesn’t create glucose spikes and tax your ability to create insulin. Also Your gut biome test will indicate what foods will improve it. The membership gives you an opportunity to assess your individual dietary needs for better health. There is the opportunity to ask questions to the staff. The program is designed to help people make the life style choices that will extend their health span. If it were easier to make these changes, wouldn’t people be able to do it by themselves ? It is obvious that it is difficult, because people don’t do it on their own even though their life depends upon it. Coaching is more efficient and more effective than trying to do it on your own.
Well explained for the root cause and effect on how our blood vessels works and corelated to our brain in function. Thanks doctor for this wonderful explanation of the physiology of our blood vessels and blood circulation .
Great discussion, I. Have just arrived from visiting my mother in law in Cuba with dimensional symptoms of additional illness cancer of face skin and a septic ulcer on lower leg age 85 years old, but at times, she is cute and packing draws ❤
Having researched various health issues on the Internet for ten years, it's great to be validated in my choice of experts to follow and the promotion of cutting edge medicine in the UK by those who are based here and working in a global leadership role. Why isn't the Gov endorsing this through the NHS and promoting preventative medicine
I'm interested to know the world wide statistics on dementia; I'm thinking the US will come out as having one of the highest percentages in the world based on our poor dietary choices driven by the fast food industry.
I winder if it's driven more by high stress, high pressure... removal of healthy fats from the mainstream diet. Poor quality salt and processed foods. Many avoid fast food restaurants and still end up with dementia, or similar old age symptoms.
My daughter went without sleep for days and experienced psychosis (no mental health issues in the past) now 2 years later psychosis returned after her trip to Japan which affected her sleep again. She’s always been a picky eater. Wondering how of if heart health affects mental health. Please discuss, our children are suffering at high rates. Most physicians just want to throw meds at us.
I never drink alcohol and never smoked in my entire life! Never took drugs.... and always nourished myself with a Mediterranean diet! .... My parents were born in Italy and they always cultivated a vegetable garden as long as I can remember.... My mom was an excellent cook - as a result all of her children were beautiful and healthy! My mom prepared the most delicious platters of food.... Zuccinni, eggplant... broccoli, cabbage, ... Chicken consommé freshly made with 7 vegetables.... and served with egg noodles that she prepared .... and I have continued in her foot steps! Thank God I am still going strong and of course walking every day....I am a mature lady!❤🥊

Are you single ?❤
What about the quality and length of your sleep?
No one cares
I learned that the vegetables I eat have restant,s of chemicals who are responsible of three processes which lowers the vit D level in the liver.
2 YEARS AGO.................I felt my brain shutting down and was alarmed I couldn't drive as was confusing the brake and acceleration...........that really shocked me into taking drastic action. I water fast off and on for several months and clean food. CURED....................and overhauled my whole brain. INCREDIABLE.
What do you mean by “water fast off and on”
@@Ukadria 1st fast 3days. Following week 5days 2 weeks later 10 days , following month 7 days 2x, following month 5 days x2, following months 2days a week and intermittent fasting.
It soundsl like you changed what you ate. What type of "clean food" are you referring to? Plants? Meats? Did you stop any type of food?
Where is your story on youtube. Please advise.
I have been absentminded all my life. Asked my friends who knoe me.
Fifty one years ago I was ejected from a car traveling at 70mph out the windshield. A traumatic brain injury took several years to to recover from. Praise God for the design of brain regeneration.
Amen. 🙏🏼 I'll bet you have a great story of recovery;
and glad to be alive. 🌹
your god threw you out of a moving vehicle at 70mph! i dont think you healed all the way if your still praising him. just saying. im glad you pulled through, but I dont know what kind of weird Stockholm syndrome you've got going on..
(I, too, am a TBI survivor)
Was the driver wearing a seat belt?
@@michaelmelamed9103Probably not, 51 years ago but what greater testimony to God's mercy that he didn't die. God is good and true. Humans are not robots or predictable creatures they have the freedom of choices and don't always make good choices. But sometimes they make good choices, depends on the environment and the how the person chooses to perceive what is happening to them.
@@texaslovelylady *Possibly* not; not everyone did, but plenty of us did in 1973. Despite having been thrown from an overturning car in 1956, (back window for me, rather than windshield as with dg2152,) I was later influenced by Chuck Berry's "No Particular Place to Go", which left me fearful of being trapped in a burning car in case of an accident, unable to get out of a seatbelt. Fortunately for me, (though I did not feel that way at the time,) I was dating a safety-oriented small-time race-car driver who demanded that I wear a seatbelt. Though we didn't last, the habit of wearing a seatbelt did, and it has saved me from injury more than once.
I firmly believe this…while rollerblading one evening, an unknowing brain aneurysm ruptured…as I lay in the hospital bed looking out the window, I was just visualizing blading on Saturday, visualizing in my mind the moves, the music…two months later I was back jogging, nine months later I was back rollerblading! The brain definitely can regenerate!
Thank you!!!❤❤❤
This is so inspiring, thank you for sharing your story with us!
You connected with the law of Attraction without energy blockages like doubt or fear to get in the way.... whatever you place your attention on, will come to pass.❤ you gave your body the full body experience ... you aligned your mind body and spirit.... which is a powerful fast way to manifest all your desires,
because there is no such thing as past or future, time is not linear, there's only the present and the now, that's all the body knows. So it does what you tell it to do ... so most people run on subconscious programs and don't even know the kind of low vibrational negative self-talk and judgments and fears that permeate their thoughts and their bodies all day long. And then they wonder why things happened to them LOL it's because they're creating it themselves, as lessons to wake them up ❤ nothing is done to us, it's always being done for us😊
@@joinZOEThanks for this guest and interview. It gives us/ me hope.
As a toddler, I was given large amounts of antibiotics. That screwed up my gut. A flood of food allergies began. Later, I was told my endothelial linings were gone. Was diagnosed as being Autistic. State Drs. Gave up on me. They gave me no ideas of what to do. They gave me no hope. I improved my diet. I hired a Naturopath and followed her advice. I reversed my bone loss. Maintained a healthy weight, began introducing foods like fresh greens, coconut oil, avacados,Salmon. I walked about 10 min. at a time to build myself up.At 62 I can out walk others I know. I garden in pots. I was told to live with the pain, so I began using enzymes to defeat Fibrin. I took a test the local school teachers take and I scored higher.
People can improve and it's a lovely message to hear !.
@@jenifernadeau I believe that! I suffered a stroke during the coiling procedure and they told me they weren’t sure if I’d regain use of my right leg!
This is why we need to find a way to get us women in menopause help for sleep. I have perfect sleep hygiene but since menopause falling asleep and staying asleep is almost impossible without turning to meds to help sleep.
Absolutely right. Same here.😢
@@llkoolbean4935 I hate when they talk about sleep being important, prior to menopause I slept 8 or more hours almost every night of my life. Now I'm LUCKY if I get 5 broken hours, most nights it's less than 3 and I work FT
My GP just sighed when I asked about better sleep and refused to consider meds. I hate melantonin effect in morning.
Ditto here, for years now.
YES, please and thank you. I can’t take melatonin (induces crazy and terrifying night terrors). Insomnia is systemically wrecking every aspect of my life and health.
Stretch when you wake up in bed do a few exercises in bed - youtube has lots of videos, do not sit for more than 20 mins - be active, my ma- in- law turned 100 was active all her life, takes a 1 hr nap every noon 1pm to 2pm, lunch daily at 12.30pm, dinner not later than 6.30pm, do a good deed every day, donate stuff you don't need, pray for peace, help those who need, forgive and forget, live a minimalist life - too much stuff around the house is not good, get blackout window curtains, no lights in the bedroom, no cell phone in your bedroom, no TV in your bedroom, go for a 30 minute walk after dinner, get a cat or dog. Start a 9.30pm bedtime routine. Going to start the tart cherry & clove suggestions. Thank you.
No cellphone, no TV, etc. inside a dark room. I don't know how people gonna enjoy their life. You prolong your life w/o enjoying it.
@@edieiyon If you try it, you will learn a new way to live, and you might enjoy it, too.
@edieiyon I agree that clutter is unhealthy but believe that rather than living a minimalist existence we might instead strive to live a full and abundant life. Sharing that abundance actually tends to bring further abundance.
Seek joy in all things including the material things, as there is a time and place for all of it when kept in balance...
After 2 years of research, I believe a high nutrients anti-inflammatory diet along with low impact exercising and a low stress lifestyle is key.
Would walking be considered a low impact exercise?
@@NansGlobalKitchen for sure
@@NansGlobalKitchen Yes, brisk walk 1 hour per day
I work in sales..if you wan to make a lot of money in a short time...do this let me emphasize a short time... I so burnt out at this point the stress is horrible!!!! and I could feel that this ..would shorten my life to life quality if had to keep doing it....However, I save a good[portion got portion stone by NC realtors home owner/sellers and homeowners ( here you have to pay them a nonrefundable fee to get the house checked out most knew they were scamming)... I felt like a cold swoosh on the side of my top scalp .wonder that was a little bit of confusion... so yeah the stress people really don't pay attention to and it is a big problem.. I sit for most of the day they need you at he computer and you will pay for not having at minimum 8 hours on the line or phones... very unhealthy... I am going to let my departure from this job take it course and it is coming one way to another...a coworker had a stroke there before getting canned any way...
Carnivore diet is anti-inflammatory. It's been working well for me. No more bloating, better sleep, better cognitive function, more energy.
Ohhh. After cancer, I fear dementia the most. I just want to live as long as my mind is clear.!! I will do everything possible for that.🤔💯
Dementia is number one for me. My family is not cancer prone on either side but my mother, aunt, and grandmother had Alzheimers, the former two very severe. I got the apoe test done and am apoe2/4. So both great news and less than great but the not great was expected so the great was....great!
Celery juice on empty stomach daily. Eat 1 cup of Wild Blueberries daily...in frozen food dept. In Japan study showed 24%improvement in cognition in 6 weeks eating this. Take Choline daily....really sharpens the brain. . I have used this on my 100year old Mother.... cognition improved. Spermadine supplement improves cognition.... ❤
@@lisa22150
What is apoe 4 test?
Make sure you avoid heavy metals and get plenty of animal fat which your brain needs, plenty of butter, ghee, coconut oil, avoid seed oils,
@@renus6015 apoe is a gene for demetia, if you go to 23andme you can run your genes and see what you are at high risk for according to your genes that were passed on by your parents. You could have say one apoe gene from your father but not your mother, so you may be only mild chance of getting it, if you have both you are at higher risk, in that case you would try to do the best you can to prevent it ie diet, exercise, what ever helps with that gene. Just because you have the gene doesn't mean you will get it, but that you can trigger it by your behavior. Lets say your genes show you are at higher risk for a heart attack, you then know to keep your cholesterol down, eat lots of fruit, veggie, fiber etc, watch weight and get exercise, etc. But, a lot of people think if their parents died of a heart attack that that means their genes had that risk and you now have that risk, but the majority of the time it was just what they ate thru their life, obesity, lack of movement, etc. Most disease is caused by our own lifestyle, not our genes, but if you know you have gene that increases your chance for the disease you have a chance to correct your journey.
I’m 70 and have had copd over 20 years and been on oxygen and what keeps me alive is excercise which I didn’t start until a few years ago.It makes me breathe better and I’m still learning about diet.This man is the real deal!
you ever look into ketosis or fasting? I was a smoker for almost 20 years and my lungs are fine now
I'm turning 70 in a few weeks, I'm right there with you and I had a heart attack in 21 and now I've transitioned to carnivore and it's made more of a difference than anything else, off of all meds including sugar and seed oils!
Thank you
I had COPD half my life and was on an inhaler etc. I went carnivore and, like all the other inflammation caused diseases I was on meds and dealing with, they all disappeared shortly after going carnivore. I can do sprints now when before I was out of breath just from showering. Carbs, sugar, vegetable/seed oils, smoking, and drinking booze all cause inflammation that leads to disease. Cut them all out and you'll improve like I did. I'm 54 and feel like a kid again.
Were you a smoker? So early to get on oxygen in your 40s. Glad you're doing better.
The summary starts at about 1:06:40.

Summary in five words; eat, sleep and exercise healthily
Thanks for that, saved me watching all this shite
What is considered healthy food
But it must be the green mediterran diet, not what we all know from vacation. Whole grains, lots of vegetables, leafy greens, fruit, fruits, lots of still water, no meat, no alcohol, no cigarettes...
And stay away from the big pharma DR and the big ag grocery store.
Please tell me what a healthy Mediterranean diet is I did not think that pasta was good for you
I suffered mild stroke ( TIA ) and took angiogram and found out that I have a 90% 80%70%60%50%40%20% blocked arteries in my heart. My doctor told me that I might drop dead anytime. I was scheduled for CABG triple heart bypass surgery which I declined . I change my lifestyle eats organic foods take supplements keto diet exercise, stayed away from stress. Its been 5 yrs now and I am still alive and feeling better.
Nitric Oxide & Infrared therapy seems perfect to complete this topic. The blood vessels are the most important thing in our body! thank you.
Yeah whatever you do don’t just eat healthy vegs, grains, fruit and beans while dumping processed foods and red meat. Definitely get on the drugs and treatments and into the sickcare system.
N O or methylene blue?
@@bjwalton48why not both? I know only the name methylene blue. So if you know, please share.
not if you can't clear Nitrous Oxide due to pathway issues! Yes on red light, but even more so, sauna, Methylene blue and HBOT
@@jac1161 Check "Dr Nathan Bryan" researches, maybe there's a solution to improve the NO pathway issues!
I’m 81 and 8 weeks ago I started making most of these changes related to my situation. So, I thank you. Diabetes, stage three kidney disease, fatty liver and insulin resistance. Through your discussion I could see the whole system working together and interconnected, each dependent on the others.
Good for you!!! Its never too late to improve your health! I started using a at home medical device that improves Micro Circulation, it's improved my 66 year old body amazingly!!
Whole Foods, Plant-Based Diet, high and fruits and vegetables and whole grains will heal your body. And omega-3 foods, Along with drinking a lot of water and exercise❣️
32:10
Excellent interview. I am not convinced about a plant based diet, but go out of my way to get plenty of flavonoids and fiber. At 80 years I need more protein and iron. I walk 3-10 miles a day most days, and work out at least 3 days a week. I am still doing successful work as a senior analyst and sail a small boat whenever I can. Major issues are worries about balance, and increasing difficulty with short term memory. Your interviews are very helpful.
Copper. ❤
Go carnivore and all diseases will be cured in a short time. Including those that are "incurable."
Wonderful doctors are Dr. Chaffee (brain surgeon), Dr. Ken Berry (family doctor), Dr Ovadia (heart surgeon), Dr. Lisa Wiedeman (eye doctor), ....
I agree. A carnivore diet will give you all the nutrients and iron that you will need to live healthy.
You are right; while avoiding processed foods is absolutely necessary, a plant they stay at can result in many deficiencies such as protein, B12, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin D, and more if not carefully supplemented.
But a meat based, whole foods diet that avoids the many food-like substances made in factories is a winner.
short term memory is a indicator of something you really need to address
Dr Li is an absolute National Treasure! All doctors should have.His positivity, kindness and expertise. He understands the "system", not just one aspect of it.

Not if you have sitosterolemia/phytosterolemia. Then vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, grains...not good. Neither are things like green smoothies, milk thistle, aloe...etc.
@@niranjanpaul2176 Dr. Jason Fung
The late Edgar Cayce who was the Father of Holistic Medicine, and which his research center is still in Virginia Beach, VA - The A.R.E., recommended proper posture for allowing good circulation to the brain. And every morning upon awakening, take three deep breaths or more by inhaling deeply through your nose, and then exhaling through your mouth. This helps release toxins out if your system that accumulated over night. You ca also do this throughout the day, and also be mindful of practicing regular deep breathing throughout the day. The herb Ginko is said to improve blood circulation to the central nervous system, aids in the treatment of dementia and Alzheimers. It also strengthens the blood vascular system and decreasing the possibilities of clots, therefore there is a strong possibility of strokes being prevented. Coconut oil is also shown to help prevent dementia and Alzheimers. Of course, a clean diet, exercise, an adequate sleep are also very important for a healthy brain.
I got to spend a weekend there I love that place in virginia... took a course from a medical intuitive up here in New york,❤
@@jenifernadeau Lucky you! The A.R.E. is a place I would love to visit. In New York, was that Carol Anne Liaros you took the course from?

Thank you for inviting Dr Li back! He is one doctor I really feel trust for. He sticks to what's currently known on a topic and presents it in a way to make it easily digestible. I always love your summaries at the end Jonathan. Thank you!
Dr Li is always a hit! So glad you loved this episode Sandy, thank you for the support.
I had a major surgery in 1990 at 40 yrs of age upped my water to get stamina back but I was following unwise media / MDs and limiting salt for many years by then... in a year or so I developed nonstop excruciating joint pain, another year I couldn't think straight , drive safely or do my job (electrical wiring) just happen on WaterCure site looking for a filter.... Read "your bodies many cries for water" and learned how bad the salt limiting was and adding back correct % turned the dementia around in just a few weeks!! and the staggering pain in a couple months! Seriously salt is LIFE with water in correct amounts.
Salt to taste appears to give the optimal level for health. Better to use sea salt or if blood pressure is an issue, one of the low sodium salts - as potassium counteracts the negative effect of sodium. Some people separate consumption of food and water when they have digestive problems so that stomach acid is not diluted when digesting food.
Good Sea salt Not table... Helps the cells use and hold enough necessary water💦 it's essential for everything... Floats your brain and lubes your joints literally....
Drink waters 30mins before a meal to control Over eat'n, and so stomach acid isn't diluted so it Can digest food properly!
If you turned it around overnight, it wasn't dementia. A loose term for your condition would be pseudodementia.
My twin sister died of dementia from depression at age 60 , I’m almost 71 and found out our father was not our real one, thier is lots of brain problems on my real father’s side. Aneurisms, brain tumors and , alzheimer’s, so I went to my neurologist, he did a MRI , it showed I’m getting early alzheimer’s!!! I was diagnosed with MS but he said it smoldered away! I have had many headaches and been to hospital when I get them only to find out I have yet another lesion , and was told I have ischemic brain syndrome, I passed the cognitive test above average! I do have anxiety that’s it!! I’m going to my 1 yr follow up appointment in July and have just found your channel , I don’t drink as it makes me sick, I’m delighted to find your channel and really appreciate you!! But was wondering how does one be diagnosed with MS then have it smolder away??? Ty
Dont interrupt Dr. Li whenever he,s talking . If you have questions be considerate and wait until he,s through. Hes the expert.
I so agree with you. Why have expert on if you’re going to continually interrupt their train of thought. Quite rude
It sounds like a living body is constantly evolving OR devolving, depending on how it is treated and employed. We need to start taking responsibility for our bodies, rather than abuse them, and then run to the doctor for a fix when they break!
Dr Li is by far the best at explaining complicated all things medical so the average person can understand
🙌
I was on 20mg statins, but my doctor asked me to try managing my high cholesterol by diet change instead (reason he gave is that my statin dose is low). I agreed but now I'm wondering if I should not have stopped the statins.
Dr Li is my favorite Zoe guest.
Dr. Li seldom gets the chance to complete his answer to the question. Why ask Dr li if you want to do all the talking?
Noted!
Vascular dementia correlates with stroke it is very common in my patients as a RN I've seen it in my patients from a multimillionaire to middle class patients. It doesn't discriminate the social class. We need more funding with research. I noticed that it relates with hard of hearing I experienced with my grandma and my aunt. The surprising fact is it's not genetic.
Was is that surprising? I know someone that got it from a stroke. Probably extremely common. I'm not in the medical field but isn't there micro circulation to the inner ear? My mother lost much of her hearing but the mind remains sharp same with my Aunt so I don't know....
you said multimillionaire to middle class patients...but what about low income? We don't need "more funding" for research.....that will be skewed. The main thing is stay OUT of the 'system' as mainstream is CRAP. C-diff. He is wrong that there is no genetic component....maternal line is stronger BUT lifestyle IS key and can override genes.
Yes, as long as there is lack of blood flow, therefore oxygen, will cause vascular dementia. Anemia can do it, but so can iron overload, copper deficiency (big). As a nurse, I am disgusted with what we weren't taught. Very very limited, sad and scary. They left me for dead and I wasn't supposed to survive. I did, and no thanks to them, and all thanks to God and my fight to exist and thrive. I'm still disabled, but working on it! Get out of the system....you'll learn more. Mineral deficiencies are soooooo important and not tested. Not good!
Anything William Li speaks on is spot on. Love this man!
Just Love doctors Like Dr Lee...they Are the Rare ones that Make Medicine So truly Meaningful...Welldone Dr Lee!
it's Dr. Li.
Well done Zoe for having the amazing Dr. Li back on your show, it demonstrates how serious and switched on you are on latest health issues.
💯
I have a rare genetic disease, and I really resent when people say: you're lucky you don't have a bad case. It's not luck at all. I listen to interviews like this and do exactly as recommended and that is why I am doing so well.
I have CMT which also a genetic condition like MS. I also take very good care of myself with exercise, diet and supplements. That is why I am doing so well.
People are brainwashed into thining their health outcomes are pure luck and uncontrollable. That gives them freedom to continue engaging in poor health practices they want to keep doing. When you're not doing as poorly as your disease should make you, they have to attribute "luck" instead of facing the fact that your actions might have outcomes, because otherwise their actions might have outcomes too, and that would be very painful for them to face.
I love listening to experts like this. It just confirms to me that I’m in the right line of work at the right time. 😊
I hoped to find a quick summary in the comments 🥺 which foods to eat
Why don’t you provide us one 😊
👌
Johnathan provides a summary at the end of the video, just move to the last few minutes, it's not complicated
1:06ish
What is considered the healthy food
I remembered...... that there was an omission in this show because it didn't mention the role of pollution which has been linked to dementia, and in the UK now we have this trend for enormous American style cars which are safer for the people who drive them but either eight times more likely to kill a maim pedestrians. particularly children, including with head injuries that can predispose to dementia. As individuals we can only do so much and if we live in a society which is very selfish then there will be health consequences in all sorts of ways. Dr Li rightly makes the link between the gut, the heart and the Brain but there is also a link between our health and the environment and society. The biggest improvements to the health of millions hasn't been paying a small fortune for private health care whether through Zoe or Bupa but through public health measures such as having clean water now we need cleaner air and safer streets
I have not watched yet but I assume there is no mention of the bioweapon nor the 5G EMF poisoning side effects that they released the bioweapon to mask.
Definitely blame it on big American cars! That is the problem 😅
Heavy metal pollution and micro plastics are also huge contributors to our health
Might want to teach your children to look both ways before stepping into the street.🤣
I totally agree. Most people who can benefit from Zoe can not afford it.
Thank you Jonathan, this interview was great, very informatif and Dr Li is so well spoken, straight to the point. Not boring at all. Thank you Dr. Li. Much appreciated.
Treating hearing loss with hearing aids is also important.
You don’t need to go to the gym. I’m just turning 59yo post menopausal female. I do dumbbell weights 3x a week. My aim is lifting heavy to close failure on my third. Doesn’t take much time and I do it from home (I do have a barbell as well as it’s my sons) but I manly do dumbbell. Started with Centr app and now heavier lifting with TH-cam Cheryl Coulombe. I sleep better am stronger, better body composition. I also walk the dog twice a day but that’s more for movement than exercise.
Lifting with Cee is the best fast dumbbell workout.
Where do you get cardiovascular exercise from?
Jenny fit start , physical therapist on TH-cam is a great place to start. Indoor exercises for all covering all aspects of fitness.😊
Infrared sauna red light therapy widens blood vessels. Diet, exercise, sleep & stress management just as important as blood pressure meds. Gut, brain, heart, lymphatics...protect them at all cost & do the work necessary to preserve them. (Love the glasses)

Will alludes to some beautiful analogies in his communication here with blood vessels as garden hoses, endothelial cells & the ice skating rink, rough or smooth. These heuristic tools are very helpful in imparting understanding. A thoroughly enjoyable interview! My mother is aged 94 but there is no longevity genes identifiable in the family history. She eats sweets regularly but goes off with her walker three times a day around the age care home. It is the only thing that I can put her longevity down to. Although anecdotal Cardio training does seem to enhance longevity!
Great informative podcast with one of my favourite scientist who has the ability to explain what could be a very complex subject in a way that retains my interest and significantly improves my knowledge .I have had 2 different bouts of cancer,from which I have recovered, which interestingly occured soon after 2 very stressful episodes in my life .caught early which is half the battle and 15 years later !!!! trying my upmost to live a healthy life and taking advice from your interesting podcasts .Thankyou
great, in fact most of us have become health seekers because of our own problems, all the best and full recovery.
Great discussion. Dr William Li……. You are always a joy to listen too….. you bring great wisdom and understanding to all aspects of health. Much like Jonathan… I struggle to get my parents-in-law to believe that there is a correlation between diet and lifestyle which is so sad. I nursed my Mum through dementia and my Dad with heart disease. Diet and lifestyle seems to dismissed by conventional medicine and pharmaceuticals prescribed instead. We need more Dr Li’s in this world….. keep educating and planting these seeds. Also thank ZOE for bring a wealth of experts to our attention.
well written! couldn't agree more
This needs teaching in schools. Doctors need teaching about nutrition rather than fobbing us off with pills. Seeing about 80% overweight young adults at a Paramour concert in Brum last year made me realise the younger generation are on a slippery slope to massive health problems. Hell they probably won't even make it to old age if they don't sort themselves out. The way the health service is being shafted they won't even have a free health service to help them. We were sold a lie though about brown bread etc being healthier when in fact, it's just another ultra processed food. Supermarkets have a lot to answer for when up to 80% of the food they sell is processed. Lots of food for thought in this interview thanks. The UK has 40+% obesity rate. We will end up as bad as the US at 66% if we carry carry on as we are.
I gave up waiting for what foods to eat.
buy Eat to Beat Desease by Dr Li
Go carnivore (the proper human diet) and all diseases will be cured in a short time. Including those that are "incurable."
Wonderful doctors are Dr. Chaffee (brain surgeon), Dr. Ken Berry (family doctor), Dr Ovadia (heart surgeon), Dr. Lisa Wiedeman (eye doctor), ....
Don't eat!
By that I mean start fasting be it intermittent or full on 3 day water fasts, Even better than all these BS diets and food recommendations!
Doctors and all these health companies don't like it because it's free, Resets your body and gets rid of all the excess cells even disease and cancer cells.
When your body is starved of food it has no choice but to use whatever is available, It starts by getting rid of the stuff that shouldn't be there in the first place.
Problem is we all tend to eat something every few hours so your body is never getting rid of the waste.
Me too

Sadly, I have not slept much in the past almost two years. I have been having brain fog, memory problems, breathing problems, chest pains, heart problems, depression, headaches, etc.. We were in a car accident almost two years ago. I didn't sleep that night at all, my anxiety was off the chart the moment the guy hit us and I was sick to my stomach that night for the first time in decades. I have been dealing with pain, stress, anxiety, etc. ever since and have not been able to sleep more than two to three hours at a time. I fall asleep several times during the day but I only sleep for maybe about 10 minutes before waking up again. I will fall asleep at the beginning of a movie and I will wake up and fall asleep at least a dozen times during the moving. Even after sleeping for two to three hours, I feel as if I hadn't slept for a week. I hardly have any energy in the morning....it's like I wake up at 1% energy life and I have to get through the day from there. I have tried everything but I still cannot sleep well. We are still dealing with issues from the car accident, we had just moved to a new town from out of state the day before, we did not know anything about the town, we did not know anyone here, we were a week away from buying a house that needed to be renovated which has been very slow going because of our injuries.....we are still trying to finish painting the interior 22 months later, we are still trying to get the mechanical problem on our car fixed, we've had to pay for a lot of things out of our own pocket, we have not been able to work, so all of that has added to the stress. I was told by one doctor that our bodies are not healing if we are not getting good quality sleep which would explain why physical therapy was not doing anything and why we are not feeling better and are still having a lot of pain.
Sorry to hear still having problems from your accident. Don't know what your injuries are, but Chiropractic can help alot especially if vertebraes and joints are locked up, it interferes with nervous system. Acupuncture has its place too. Sounds like some ptsd also-possibly? Don't give up, the body continues to heal. Mds can only do so much, bc drugs help symptoms but don't repair problem in my opinion. Healthy food. Find natural solutions like the above. Best wishes and better health.
Possibly talk with an integrative behavioral health therapist. To take a look at both the medical problems and the effects of the trauma symptoms together.
@@Piper7cub you may also want to try hyperbaric oxygen chamber in your region. I hear it is to be very good for healing body so much. Trauma counseling therapy also for ptsd. Find a good Palmer chiropractor. Techniques: Thompson, Diversified, Activator to start.
Good nutrition. No processed foods, no sugar. Causes inflammation.
Poor sleep hygiene has increased your health problems and your anxiety. They will and can multiply due to lack of sleep. Sleep is healing and restorative. Get that fixed.
Always treasure Dr. Li's explanations on various health issues. Bought both of his books and have been able to enhance my quality of life by introducing foods that will benefit the body.
An interesting and informative interview. But you didn’t really discuss diet and nutrition choices, which you left to the end, as you said, keeping listeners waiting, and then you just skipped through it very briefly. The whole point of the interview was set up to end by giving listeners good advice on diet and nutrition. That didn’t happen. Disappointing.
Whole Food Plant based is the only information you need and he said so.
He said a plant based whole food diet. If you’re not sure what that diet consists of, do your own research and educate yourself.✌🏼
This was brilliant thanks. We know that things like exercise, eating the rainbow, avoiding excessive alcohol are good for us, but it really helps to understand the underlying mechanisms of how these things reduce the risk of dementia. I feel so encouraged by Dr Li and I hope his Mum improves. I’m off for a walk now!
Love it, Rosemary!
This is exactly why we need more support for women going through menopause, especially when it comes to sleep. Despite following all the best sleep hygiene practices, falling asleep and staying asleep has become a real challenge during this phase. It’s frustrating to feel like medication is the only option for a good night’s rest. More attention and solutions for this issue would make such a difference for so many women.
This episode is like a reboot of my effort to maintain health,thank you .
So happy to hear it's inspiring!
As a canadian, I love the Zamboni metaphor. Great guest. He's managed to take complex concepts and make them accessible to your average layperson...
God is so good . God made the human body so perfect ❤. Thankful for this video ..and Dr Li MD and the information 🙌 and this channel on TH-cam
Spoiler alert, your whole body works in harmony for health. Keep your whole body healthy
Strongly agreed!!! God created us perfectly, but we ruining everything. God help us🙏. God bless you both. Very good information 🙏
Dr Li , you are God's gift to the universe. I have learnt so much about health from you - not from school or doctors, ironically !
Thank you for all the work you both do! It was really great meeting Dr. Li last year at the Women's Health Conference in Newport. I'm so grateful to be able to learn and share the benefits of plant based eating and exercise with others. Keep up the good work!
Dr.Lee is one of the best doctors ever.
Yes, it's important to stop all stress, and to eat real human foods, drink water, and sleep. I had to make drastic changes in my life. but when I did,..wow.. It was a life changer for the better, I eat absolutely no sugar anymore, I eat more fatty meats and much less carbohydrates. Feel so much better and my inflamed blood vessels got so much better.
I love listening to Mr. Li... he has mastered the art of putting things in simple terms where everyone can understand they can make small changes and continue making larger changes to actually reverse cellular damage
I know, I know we need to have a good sleep but someone please please please come out with an effective solution to insomnia so that I and millions others can get a good sleep every night.
Get melatonin from the foods or take tablets talking with your doctor
I agree as I have insomnia as well. I find exercising to the point of exhaustion really makes me tired. So I know exercise really helps.
Are you taking magnesium before bedtime?
Magnesium glycinate
Try eating instant noodle at night. Make your own broth, don't use the included packages. If you are afraid of weight gain, don't eat carb during the day.
Can I ask if the tinnitus that I now suffering with is a brain problem. I had a few falls but in 2019 I hit my head and started having sever tinnitus which keeps me awake at night..Dr Li is amazing guy so informative and just can't get enough of his knowledge to offer everyone to teach us the rights and wrongs of do & don't. Thank you Dr Li 🙏
ZOE , great invited guest 👏. You have brought scientific knowledge down to the level of the common man. I've always been looking for something like this because I like to learn and improve my life, and here everything is presented in an accessible form. My top
That's exactly our aim, so glad you enjoyed the episode!
Thank you very much for sharing all these information. It is like an anatomy and physiology class. May the Lord bless you and your work and help us listeners to take care of our bodies better for long, healthy productive lives.
Let's spend a podcast on sleeplessness that comes with menopause even when you follow all the recommendations for improving sleep. All i hear about is how important sleep is, and nothing about menopausal sleeplessness.
The best solution is hormon replacement therapy.
Tri- iodine/Selenium!
Read the responses under Barbara comment about same, menopause sleep. 90+ comments with excellent feedback. I added a few, including detoxing the gut for months, salt water enemas , colonics, and extra efforts 8nto kept steps like restoring minerals, and avoiding screens for days , many days in a row.
@@elisabeth400 But HRT its also dangerous , women get cancer ..
My dad came to live with me 6 months ago at 75. He was confused and forgetful. Unfortunately it was the beginning of winter but i immediately transitioned him out of proceed food . Had to lock the fridge. Eggs, beef, sardine and very nutritive smoothies and the best supplements. Very small amounts of things he enjoyed to avoid shock, rice, potato, fruit.. by spring he was worse and rapidly declined, unable to walk to get in the sun or toilet himself. Quit eating 6 eggs in the morning and talking.
I was really hoping...
Never dreamed the decline would be so sudden. I wonder if this is typical.
Edit: now that I know about vascular dementia, I've started taking him to hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy with great improvement.
Give him magnesium Theorant …( spelling) it’s fir the brain supplements….give him black seed oil ingredients native saliva ..and..nattto…a Japanese ….fermented bean …thank…me l later….plenty of fruits ..no starches …no rice
My Aunt has severe dementia now and it seems to have started after she took the mRNA potion 2.5 years ago. Before that she was sharp and healthy. Now she can't remember what she did 5 mins ago and even family members names. I believe her blood vessels have been damaged....
My husband started with memory problems after the jab!
She needs to drink lots of water and electrolytes daily. Trust me she's dehydrated. It happens so easily to elderly and is the major cause of dehydration. Ifnshe drinks water alone she will urinate out all her minerals her body needs.. but ester is a life saver of brains because whrn elderly aare dehydrated their veins shut down.... going trinity regularly with my 93nyr old dad..last few days were the worst he literally got so badjinthought it was the end.. nurse couldn't even get ml of blood as his veins were shut down completely.. had him non PENICILLIN ANTIBIOTICS the minute confusion appears because MOST DEMENTIA CAUSED WITHER BY UTI urine infection OR DEHYDRATION.
mu dad is on antibiotics almost every 2 or 3 months.. penicillin and lots water with electrolytes in the water so he doesn't lose minerals..and within days he's 100% SHARP FIT & HEALTHY again.
Thing is I learned by my elderly mom who we lost and she couldnhave been saved by antibiotics for uti urine infection and water to stop dehydration.
Doctors kinda let them go in late 80's or 90's or recommend them to nursing homes..where they will neverngetnthe attention they need to recover from a utility or dehydration.
WATER 💧
or any fluids but avoid too much sugar drunks,
And
Antibiotics.
Works every time for 4nyrsnfor my dad.
Then regular vitamin d and multivitamin
Gos bless 👋
My mother also had the same effect after each of her four jabs. It was a noticeable drop in brain function. Has lost her short term memory.
@@Javeli05 It’s so annoying that this need not have happened. Now he will just deteriorate year by year when he was so normal before.
@suew000 It's not just annoying, it's angering. Bio warfare! Just covered up.
I am very grateful to the Doctor for sharing so I can understand: What happens inside our brain while we sleep. I will synthesize and share this knowledge with viewers on my channel.
Many thanks to Zoe and Doctor!
Makes sense I hope these health lessons could be rolled out to young people as part of a standard education in 6th form. That way these health lessons may improve health of nation.
How about start it earlier
Relearning a lot. Shared with my senior friends. I will start to change old habits. Thank you for the hope. Change is coming.
very interesting theme and information delivered, it's a shame the interviewer who is way less informed in the topic keeps stopping and interrupting so much that a lot of knowledge/information is missed
you can attend cardio exercise online .zumba, aerobics 😂
This is the best intro I have seen for any of your videos. (TBH I have not watched them all because whilst your content is important the presentation was not great.) I have shared this with my friend whose wife is raising money for a dementia charity. You should ask people to comment as that helps promote content on TH-cam.
This is an excellent and exciting presentation. You (Jonathan and Dr Li) make a great team. The summaries help me compensate for my vascular dementia. Thanks!
Wonderful information both. My mother has Parkinson’s and I am very interested in helping her remain well - I see that nutrition is very important. Very interesting how the heart affects the brain! Fascinating.
Sorry to hear about your Mother. Have a look at Photobiomodulation - No Silver Bullet and Medcram have some interesting lectures on it.
@@hughdavis3135 thank you very much :)
Somewhere I heard positive comments and experiences on the good effects of walking, lots, on Parkinson’s. Cheap and no negative side effects.
Interesting. I'm thwarted again, as HFI precludes me from doing the ZOE programme (I did enquire about it), and I can't eat a plant based diet. I do try to do the best I can within the confines of a fructose, sucrose and sorbitol free diet, I sleep well and regularly exercise. I have to adapt to what will work for me!
This was am excellent interview. Dr. William Li gives us good news explained really well with lots of practical suggestions. I have a few of his books, Eat to Beat Disease is a great one. "Health care is what WE do at home".
The host is smart and processes information very quickly like a crazy Katarynka and also has a good memory because he wants to learn from the invited guests, but the professor is simply a class: he always has a high level of focus and attention and presents his knowledge in a very accessible way.
Excellent thank you Zoe and Dr Li
Thank you for your expertise on Dementia. My mom had it she didt pass from it, but it's such a terrible disease. She was 91 years old. I wish i could turn back time. Love you mom. You are awesome Dr Li.
Love this connection for health. Good information. One item, REM sleep is not deep sleep. Thanks for exploring this brain, heart, gut health.😂
Love Dr Li, this is one of my favourite podcasts, I love the way he explains things making it easy for everyone to understand. My dad had Alzheimer’s and my mother had dementia so it’s of such importance for me to learn all I can about the disease
My mom has Alzheimer's. In the beginning stages she slept a LOT. I'm wondering if that was her brain trying to heal itself.
It could be caused by hernated discs in the neck area as well, which blocks the blood flow to the head. You may want to get an mri for her neck (also bone issues when people gets older). And be careful with how you interact with your mom so that she feels being loved. My mom had stiff neck from time to time, later had colasped verterbrate if I remember corretcly in between her shoulder blades (but it caused her to have very similar symptoms as hot flashes. She could not sleep on her back because she would feel so hot that it made her sweat. But she was then about 65 and she had manapause by 45). When my sister said things that are crude and unloving, my mom soon had dementia because she fetl very sad. Be always very sweet to your elderly parents and show them you care anf respect them, not saying that you are not, but my sister would get cranky and says unloving statements if she bought my mom vitamins and my mom does not want to take them, etc. And my mom was a very smart woman with her choices.
I was a person that slept little thought sleeping was a waste of time. now 58 I purchased a NEXRING to help me improve my quality of sleep, its spot on when I experience brain fog, its always related to my quality of sleep. Sleep, Daytime stress, Exercise data, Readiness Score (Heart rate Dip, HRV, Total sleep, Finger Temp) Heart rate dip, SP02, Respiratory rate, Heart rate. The ring helps me determine what effects my sleep..
My grandmother died of alzheimer's. In the end, they said the reason she died, is because after forgetting everything else, finally she simply forgot how to breathe.
So 😞
Wow, Dr, William Li, this was the best, most brilliant explanation ever. Thank you so much for your time to do this. Everybody should watch this video. Thank you ZOE.
Keto high animal fat carnivore here. Nil sugar consumed, amazing cognitive clarity, liver can make sugar if needed via gluconeogenesis!!!
We're created by one, and appreciate the artwork of the body and take care of it
I have a higher bloodpressure genetically and cannot eat vessel dialators (felodipine etc) anymore. I'm 52 and am only on betablockers now. I'm in great physical condition , slim and energetic. My gut health is perfect and has always been. The only thing is the pressure and really, I cannot eat more medicines. Itt is like 150/70 at it's best but I'm always always stressed when it is taken. My mother is 74 with a high BP aswell. She is in perfect shape both mentally and physically. Im on keto/paleo diiet, taking Omega 3 and D3. When I was on felodipine for 17 years I finally got really sick from it. My body could not tolerate itt anymore. So I'm only on beta blockers now but I have to split the pill and take it 2 time/day because otherwise I feel like crap from that to. I really hate the white coat ...:(
I am in Mozambique and take herbs..its shocking that while in Sweden they pumped me with drugs 5 years after I am okay living like a villager
Try your nitro system (beetroots and related) as a boost to your endothelium and eat broccoli, brussel sprouts and similar for also their feature of helping your blood vessels...try that every day for 6 weeks and see if it helps you. If it is genetic and works for you, may also work for your mum. Good luck.
Happened to have found this site by accident and thankful I did. Dr. Li is amazing and finding a site about science based nutrition is like hitting the jackpot. Thank you for sharing this interview. I will share this with others as well.
Excellent. Thank you for all the helpful information.
Would be so much better if there weren’t any interruptions or repetition of exactly what was just said - your interviewees are super experienced communicators - we “get it” when they talk.
You discussed assessment. For people focused on prevention, what at the assessments blood markers we should be looking at. For cardiovascular: APOB, any, more? For diabetes HbA1C and Triglyceride levels, insulin resisters, fasting glucose levels. Any more? For inflammation: CRP, C-reactive Protein, TNFL. And alpha…(something). A podcast explains these markers would be helpful. Thanks so much. Since I am a member, I will also ask through that portal.
Excellent idea
Do you think being a member is worth it?
Feritin
Ala. .?
Membership is worth what you put into it. There is testing an education component that is helpful. And you can input your meals every day and receive an evaluation of your food choices based on your testing profile. The focus is on eating quality (plant-based mostly) food in proportions that doesn’t create glucose spikes and tax your ability to create insulin. Also Your gut biome test will indicate what foods will improve it. The membership gives you an opportunity to assess your individual dietary needs for better health. There is the opportunity to ask questions to the staff. The program is designed to help people make the life style choices that will extend their health span. If it were easier to make these changes, wouldn’t people be able to do it by themselves ? It is obvious that it is difficult, because people don’t do it on their own even though their life depends upon it. Coaching is more efficient and more effective than trying to do it on your own.
Well explained for the root cause and effect on how our blood vessels works and corelated to our brain in function.
Thanks doctor for this wonderful explanation of the physiology of our blood vessels and blood circulation .
You finally have a nice looking set for your interviews. A big improvement!
Great discussion, I. Have just arrived from visiting my mother in law in Cuba with dimensional symptoms of additional illness cancer of face skin and a septic ulcer on lower leg age 85 years old, but at times, she is cute and packing draws ❤
Amazing and formative video. I will come back again and again to make sur i did not miss a single information. Thanks to both of you🙏
Having researched various health issues on the Internet for ten years, it's great to be validated in my choice of experts to follow and the promotion of cutting edge medicine in the UK by those who are based here and working in a global leadership role. Why isn't the Gov endorsing this through the NHS and promoting preventative medicine
I'm interested to know the world wide statistics on dementia; I'm thinking the US will come out as having one of the highest percentages in the world based on our poor dietary choices driven by the fast food industry.
I winder if it's driven more by high stress, high pressure... removal of healthy fats from the mainstream diet. Poor quality salt and processed foods. Many avoid fast food restaurants and still end up with dementia, or similar old age symptoms.
Thank you very much for this video. Big help. God bless you all the more.
I just have to say...it was funny when the host said he can't get his head around all the blood vessels that are in his brain! 😋
Thank you, Zoe, and Dr William Li.
Excellent questions & most informative answers...!
My daughter went without sleep for days and experienced psychosis (no mental health issues in the past) now 2 years later psychosis returned after her trip to Japan which affected her sleep again. She’s always been a picky eater. Wondering how of if heart health affects mental health. Please discuss, our children are suffering at high rates. Most physicians just want to throw meds at us.
