Well, I my dementia must have started 25 or 30 years, (I"m 63) because I can't remember what I left the room for. Why I'm standing here. Don't even know If I had breakfast, took my supplements, locked the car, called the bank. What did I have for supper yesterday. I once left the house to go to town and forgot the wife. I've left without my denture's, I've gone to the door before remembering I have no pants on. Etc etc. I never remember what I was talking about if I get sidetracked.

[@maryhumphreys2931]

I took care of my mom who had dementia. I felt like I was dying right along with her. Truly heartbreaking….I will never be the same. Thank you for this podcast!

[@strongerbetterfitness3776]

Same. I feel your pain and your fear. A very heartbreaking and life changing journey. I have gained from that is more awareness, to set myself up the best I can to prevent and to be financially able to withstand what ever I may get as I age. I gained more empathy, patience, determination, compassion, creativity and the capacity to endure and withstand loss. I have to focus on the gifts it gave or I will keep dying even though she is gone. I miss her everyday and it was the hardest thing to watch and experience. May the Lord bless you and carry you as you carry on. ❤

I am very impressed with her clarity. She is SO CLEAR and easy to understand. I recently saw another doctor in an interviewed elsewhere on YT that was dense and confusing with many tangents. She had a book to sell. This doctor was different. She wanted us to understand. She also had no book or product line to sell that I saw. That is important because when there is something to sell, the pushers tend to want you confused and scared.

[@veo16]

Yep most docs on yt unfortunately want to sell you something. And the “info” they share is in service to that primary objective. So the facts they share are not necessarily wrong, but they are often incomplete, tangential, and they don’t give a care if you get value out of the video or not. Only that you take the bait of clicking the video itself and sticking around long enough to hear their pitch.

Very interesting, but of course it's all diet and exercise. I am about to turn 80 and never been sick a day in my life. Have not had a macdonalds hamburger, coke or any rubbish in 60yrs. Worked in construction my whole life and still love designing and building my houses, i'll never retire, and of course the forbidden subjects here in US, I am still very sexually active and laughing a lot.I feel its just as important about what you DON'T put in your body that helps.

[@LedByGrace]

Amen! Loved your testimony of good health. I feel the same. Diet and exercise #1. Even with my back troubles, and feet neuropathy, I move a lot and hike 30 miles a week minimum. My wife and I backpack and of course, it’s advised for me not to with my back and feet but I ignore it. The best thing for me is to keep moving -not sitting too much. I am always creating something whether it’s music, building a structure, playing guitar, or writing for three hours a day and reading, too-the key to good health for me is little tv watching and if so, it’s mostly educational stuff. Maybe an occasional movie but I am very picky. My wife and I love to be active with our lab and being in the outdoors is our favorite thing to do. Our vacations are planned around hiking. The sex in the bedroom is still 👍👍. Thanks for sharing your story. Cheers to living and maybe to 120 years, God willing

[@suzannebrown2505]

One thing I do know is that Stress plays a Huge role in getting various diseases, especially GI illnesses, kidney and liver and diabetes and osteoarthritis, over the years as we age. I am almost 78 and and had a very physically active childhood. I was a good swimmer, I ice skated, and danced (folk dancing), played piano and was always singing in choral groups since I was 4 or 5. I still sing in my church choir and play my piano virtually everyday. When I was in my 20s, I would ride my bike and ride miles, and I also learned to downhill ski and did so. At least 1 or more times per week in winter, I would rent a house with others, go skiing, and take hikes. I also bowled and regularly took long walks, at least 5 to 10 miles or more. I also read lots of books on my own and in school where I always had papers to write. I wasn‘t that good at math, but learned what I had to do to graduate. All throughout school, and college, I had to take physical education at least 2 to 3 days every week. As for walking, I only do so now when shopping, church, and a lot, daily, at my apartment building, for hours with a couple of breaks. I have a pet cat and play with her quite a bit. I have a difficult time walking because of moderate osteoarthritis and use a walker, but still enjoy walking as I can. I also am a lifetime learner and love to read and study such as physics, chemistry, biology, archeology, sociology, psychology, etc. I feel that learning, watching movies and podcasts, and helping others as I can, also helps keeping your brain quality with more neural activity growing. My dad had Alzheimer‘s and lived to age 85. My mother, severely narcissistic and abusive to me, made it to 94. I never had kids when I was married or siblings. I have pets which help give me the unconditional love that I need.

Doing gardening IS the BEST exercise for any homeowner. It is so hard, too often we pay recent immigrants to do that hard work. So this speaker hasn't done much gardening, If she promotes walking, but puts shade on gardening. Obviously it is vigorous exercise when you do gardening, along with how it includes many squats and stretches, lifting weight and holding up your weght as you reach to pick up leaves or weeds with one hand. Raking is a part of gardening, it fixed my shoulder impingement problem. Ill bet she couldn't do 30 mins of raking. Bags of manure and soil are heavy too! Digging a hole with a shovel or leveling soil with a hoe. Dont even get me started on how tough doing hardscape is, for a workout. I find it silly now to hear people talk about gym memberships, when their landscape is far more rewarding for the time spent. Also it gets you back to nature, grounded to the earth where we sprouted from.

[@carolinebcollier]

3215burns1: all that exercise and you still needed a heart procedure! Perhaps more proof that your stated plant based habits are a significant contributor to heart disease. I suggest you start eating those mammals you have avoided, get off the plant based diet lie that has been well documented as a lie by doctors on YT and have an even healthier life with no heart procedures. I assume your statement about lipids being under control means low cholesterol which is another lie I along with most everyone else believed for 40 years.

So sorry for your loss. I know plenty of adults who have exercised for years and still got Alzheimer’s…. I’m sure exercise & diet help, but something else is also happening….. Another expert believes it is environmental toxins & pollution - he mapped the global evolution of this disease alongside the industrialization of cities, increased use of pesticide in food, chemicals in water, etc. and there is a strong correlation. Another professional points to side effects from medications…..

[@DavidKroff]

​@pw323 My wife has alzheimers. I think her mom might have had it also, but her father covered it as much as possible. I have been married for 45 years. We walk alot and eat the same. I don't have any signs. And no one on my side had any. My mother died at 93 and was sharp as a tack.

[@wichitatxgal]

I grew up in 60s/70s. We had active recesses in school (elementary) and junior high/high school we had very hard Physical Education classes! THEN I had to walk home from school - 12 blocks! So where I grew up, I got exercise. I’m 70, I do all our yardwork. I see older woman cleaning flowerbeds. That’s good but I’m mowing (not riding mower) Weedeating, edging, watering. Yes, I rest every 20 minutes. But I have been doing yardwork for 50 years. My husband is appreciative in my skills and he will help me if he’s not busy with his job. I get a lot of stares and feel everyone is thinking “poor old lady”! No need to worry, yardwork is good for me IF it’s not too hot! My Mom had slow onset Alzheimer’s. Lived to 90. It was a nightmare. I pray I don’t get it.

[@susanp5393]

Many people all over the world all the way through history never ate fish as they lived far from the sea. Only today fish can be refrigerated and transported everywhere. I come from Iran. Until I was 20 years old very little fish was ever consumed in our diet, as we lived far from the sea. None of older people I knew developed any form of cognitive decline. My grandmother lived to the age of 96 with very sharp cognitive functions including memory. Also Omega 3 has many vegetarian sources and in my opinion telling people that they should all eat fish for their brain functioning is incorrect. The industrial fishing is the most horrific and the most cruel industry in the world and besides I live in the tropics in southern India now and often fish can be contaminated here because of the polution on the ocean and the harsh hot climate here, so there are many reasons why even if taking Omega 3 is so important, one could consider vegetarian sources. Here are the list of vegetarian sources of Omega 3 copied from the web: "Are omega-3s found in plant foods? Omega-3 fatty acids are readily available in a wide variety of plant foods. Sources include walnuts, flaxseed, chia seeds, hemp seeds, edamame, seaweed, and algae. Other green leafy vegetables and beans also contain small amounts."

[@xyz-gx9oy]

Thank you for your comment and information! ❤

[@Kinkle_Z]

I think the big concern is the ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6. The American diet of junk food and toxic seed oils contain more Omega-6 than our ancestors could imagine so the ratio is off. Another concern about plant sources is that our agricultural soils are so depleted of nutrients that plant sources may be lacking. Iodine is another important element we need for thyroid health but it's present mostly in seafood, which eat the iodine-rich algae. Our soil is depleted of Iodine so those who live inland should consider a supplement like Lugol's Iodine.

I agree about much of what you wrote but plant omegas can't be converted to the active form that we use. We don't need much omegas though. Dr Paul Saladino only eat ruminant meat (grass fed) for example and his numbers were still great when he checked his blood. Plant omegas are useless. Some of us MIGHT convert a few percent but most of us can't.

[@loretojacobs6613]

Louisa Nicola (Mark 13:20) generalized statement that gardening is not physical exercise doesn't apply to everybody that does gardening. I have to reach high branches holding a heavy chain saw to prune them, carry the branches across a hilly backyard, i I have to dig with a shovel and a pick a hard clay soil to uproot plants, transplant them, move heavy pots, rake leaves, pick up fruit that is high on the trees, etc. Believe me, I have developed more strength and muscles that I did swimmig, and going to the gym. I grew up in a small town and could observe the people that were not physically active and the ones that were not: The ladies that were, overweight, sedentary,(sat in front of their porch every day for hours) with a very calm demeanor, quiet, not saying much, lived to 100 or more. The very active ones, including the sisters of these women that were go getters and talked a lot, physically active died 15 years or more younger than them. I think the attitude and personality of the person seems to have a protective action, even more than physical activity.

[@ruger6049]

She obviously only knows apartment dweller gardeners. My mother is 80 and goes all day doing yardwork and gardening on their fifteen acre property. She never stops. Cooks all day and does the canning and preserves, tends the garden and takes the crop off. Her house is beyond immaculate, and still washes floors by hand on her hands and knees. The downside to all this is that her body is so arthritic and buggered up from too much hard work all her life. She is suffering but keeps going...

[@user-qu2cx7cd3w]

[@anaval1519]

[@Liciablyth]

I suspect that she is referring to the brain benefits of aerobic (cardiovascular) exercise bringing oxygen to the brain. While strength based and stretching exercise which gardening of this style you mentioned will entail, it is unlikely that it will entail sufficient aerobic exercise. Research shows that a minimum of 15 mins of uninterrupted exercise, 3 days a week that raised the heart rate sufficiently will result in the brain and body benefit. Actually, that is an old statistic (20 years old). I think later research shows that it needs to be 20 minutes 5 days a week.

Fifty years ago, as a supremely fit athlete in collegiate heavyweight wrestling, I had a resting BPM of 43, sometimes 39 when I measure just after I woke. I wrestled at 235 pounds at less than 5.0% bodyfat (Water tank test) I bench pressed 450 pounds, leg pressed over 1,100 and sometimes finished the 10 mile off-season run in under an hour. (That is 10 consecutive sub-six minute miles.) I was very fit until I ripped a hip at 43 years old slipping on the ice and doing the splits. I have put on sixty pounds and at 70 years old still have a great heart, lungs, kidney and liver. The doctor tells me that I am just a healthy fat child. He also states that everyone should have my bloodwork. The VA did a heart workup, because I weigh close to 300 pounds. The cardiologist came in laughing as told me that I am as healthy as a horse, pump a ton of blood with each beat, and that I am good for another 100,000 miles. I still bench press over 300 pounds. I am afraid to push more than that amount for fear of ripping a muscle at my age. I believe that the foundation of superb conditioning has a lasting effect on me. - The retired redneck accountant

In my opinion, most runners consume a lot of carbohydrates with no apparent harm. But there is harm. Your mitochondria are fueled by carbohydrates or fatty acids. Carbohydrates come with consequences; elevated blood sugar; elevated insulin; glycation of cells; production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals that damage cells and DNA. Fatty acids fuel your body with much less damaging consequences. If you are not Keto / Carnivore, you should learn about it. I feel the same as you about running.

[@GR-sc3ph]

If you get it young it is purely down to genes; age itself is a factor for dementia so one can do all the stuff they tell us but you will always have some form of dementia.

[@bendungee1669]

I agree with the 3 factors: Inactivity- more important for the body to still be able to move, and if you are dependent on people to help you move around you are usually less social with human contact. This has a huge impact on our brain more so than just exercise on the brain in itself. What you are doing when you are moving is dealing with all the stimuli around you especially in nature. Sleep-Extremely important as she said to be consistent on a set time to bed away from blue light or wear amber glasses if you can’t and you will feel yourself getting sleepy and that should be the time you go to bed. When you wake up get out of bed and get moving. Hopefully you get 6-8 hours. Nutrition- Yes DHA/EPA, but I would say people need to stop eating process food and start cooking at home with organic food. No microwaves. If it comes in a package with a label generally not good unless it’s packaged that way in the produce section. Methylene Blue is probably something you want to look at for increasing your mitochondria. EMF- You want to shut down your Wi-Fi in the house and your phone off or at least hit all Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and cellular connection off and hit Air Plane mode. Not just Air Plane mode, that doesn’t shut it off. EMF has been shown to disrupt sleep and some people are more EMF sensitive with headaches and pains. Hopefully you don’t live next to high power lines over your house or a cell tower near by. If you have full bars on your phone you are definitely too close. Final- What you put in your body affects your brain, from air(mold, to VOC from paint, furniture, cleaning products and etc), medications (chemicals that are harmful and most people don’t realize that Fentanyl is in small doses in a lot of medication), cookware(no PFAS your non stick pans and no aluminum cookware) and injectable like vaccines(have a lot of harmful ingredients with heavy metals and usually the adjuvant is Aluminum, which has been shown in all Alzheimer’s) You should next time ask for an insert sheet for a vaccine and decide if you want that in your body and ask what might be worst later. Way the pros and the cons objectively, not by what a doctor tells you. They really don’t know. Test them next time. What’s in this that I am getting. If they don’t know and you don’t know, it’s time hold and do some research. Nowadays doctors prescribe you medication after sending you to all their specialist doctor friends with no one finding the cause, but still give you something that could make it worse. That’s not how it was done when I was growing up. That’s bad practice.

This was a mesmerising interview that has really opened my eyes, so thank you! Everyone take note of what Louisa says at 56:00 to 57:36. This is golden. How much Omega 3 fish oil should one take on average daily to supplement? I love salmon and eat other Omega 3 rich foods but obviously don't eat enough every day without supplementation. I also note that 5mg of Creatine Monohydrate is an average daily amount, but can be started on less to test it out first and a larger person can tolerate more of it. I long suspected (15 years ago) that poor sleep compromised brain health that could lead to Alzheimer's disease. The exercise part makes sense, but I wouldn't have put them together.

I would be concerned taking creatine because it also increases TMAO. Also, you do not have to eat fish for omega 3. Fish don’t make omega 3. They get it from the algae. Also the fish are filled with persistent organic pollutants (pops). We can eat algae along with hemp, chia and flax seeds along with walnuts for omega 3 and also take a supplement.

[@Liciablyth]

I would be cautious about considering that it is increasing. Research shows that it is only relatively recently (I think around 150 to 200 years) that people in many countries are living over 35-40 years of age. In other words, this is the first period in the history of humans that so many people are living over 40, 50, 60 and 70 years of age. Now we get a chance to see what happens at these ages. Added to that, is the notion that there was an improvement in record keeping across a few countries in the world that occurred as medical science began growing - also mostly over the last 150 to 200 years. This was still minimal. There were large swathes of the world - asia, south america, africa, where there was little to no record keeping taking place. The invention of the internet, increased urbanization in those previously mentioned countries resulted in an ability to gather more information. In summary, we have an increase in Alzheimers because there is an increase in the older population and an increase in record keeping and information sharing.
