One can see how hiking on known or new trails (or off trail) can be both a great part of lifestyle (mandatory IMO) but also a precious diagnostic tool. I always tell people "you hike with your brain, not your feet". That trecking pole is not going to keep you from a fall if you do not choose well what you land your foot on. You are constantly scanning the trail for specific features you can use. The best training is of course difficult mountain trails with loose rocks. Sense of direction, balance, readiing features in the landscape, it is all about not needing any more than a map and a compass at the most...if you get good at it you can almost do what animals do ... and you get to come back to camp before dark... and you pass the test 😂

This was very helpful to me. Three of my four grandparents had some level of dementia and I’ve been concerned. I’m 62 yo now. I was starting to feel like I was getting it maybe 10-12 years ago. At 56 we bought a farm. I’m a woman who, in my early forties stopped college (science major) to take care of my children and home. I got bored when the children left. After now running a farm with livestock and gardens, I’m sharper and more fit and energetic than I was six years ago. You helped me understand that I’m correcting the decline. The work I do, and all I’ve learned and continue to learn and build on that knowledge has helped so much.

I would contend that dementia IS reversible. I worked with my father to reverse it with success. He was full on having conversations with the television and the walls but after I pumped him up with ketones and removed the carbs and most of the omega 6 fatty acids from his diet, he went back to normal until the cancer took his life.

[@barkmaker]

Ugh. We do not have to lose neurons and synapses. The key lies in upregulating mitochondrial function. Neurons regenerate and new synapses can be formed if we maintain cellular function and reinforce old synapses while engaging in activities that cause new synapses.

[@drekberg]

Thank you @barkmaker. I did say that with full blown dementia there is not much we can do. For the early stages there is a lot you can do. I've covered that in other videos. 😄

[@drekberg]

Thank you @barkmaker. I have spoken of this neuroplasticity in many videos. We do lose brain cells continuously throughout life. We are born with the largest number of brain cells we will ever have. We can however make some new neurons, but especially new synapses. It is probably more correct to say that we constantly upgrade and modulate the synapses in our neural networks so that they are more current and appropriate for our current skills and activities. 😄

A lot of women worry that these are early signs of dementia. But if these experiences coincide with changes in your hormone levels and maybe a few (or many) hot flushes, they are far more likely to be signs of menopause than the onset of dementia. Menopause brain is not “all in your mind”. The physical and emotional symptoms related to the changes in your hormone levels are very real, and can be debilitating. Menopause often coincides with other significant life events, such as adult children leaving home, the arrival of grandchildren, the development of chronic diseases such as diabetes or heart disease, ageing parents requiring care, planning for transition to retirement or, conversely, having the time to take your career up a gear. Therefore, any symptoms related to menopause, including the effects on brain function, have to be seen in the context of everything else that is going on in your life.

This is a wonderful teaching. Oddly, I've seen many, many videos of Dr. Ekbergs, but didn't ever even know he teaches about dementia. It never came up in the side bar. I recognize several of the signs in myself. One of them is word search. BUT, even as a bright, educated young woman I had that problem. Now it's getting worse at 72. I'm also very frustrated with my sloppy handwriting that I can't seem to control. What is really sad is that children are no long taught handwriting in school. Several years ago I read about a woman, who is a doctor, and how her husband suddenly developed some sort of severe dementia. Something she read prompted her to give her husband coconut oil. She started small and continued to increase the amount by putting the oil in his morning oatmeal. Within a short period of time he began to improve dramatically. She had pictures of his drawings of a clock, before and after. It was truly amazing. Well, it's time to get crackin'! Thank you Dr. Ekberg.

[@scottconnuck2632]

My goodness, Dr. Ekberg... I am a 64 year old male who was so concerned about occasional forgetfulness and brain fog. I would go through days where I couldn't focus, concentrate, or even recall words and phrases. It was worrying to say the least! Then, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease, which, in a way made me feel better. I mean, Hashimoto's is still no picnic... but if I had to choose, I would much rather experience Hashimoto's than full blown dementia any day! BTW-- I find that turmeric added to my diet along with levothyroxine help immensely.

I recently turned 64. I have noticed three things that bother me: I am a model builder and do a great degree of fine work with my hands. Over the last couple of years I have noticed my hands sometimes shake when trying to do very delicate, very fine work. One thing I have found is that by taking Vitamin B complex it seems to reduce and sometimes eliminate the shaking. The second is trouble with my balance when i first get up in the morning. I have been told I have Neuropathy because of some numbness in my feet and this may be it but I also have arthritis in my lower back and get Rhyzotomies to keep the pain level down and I suspect this may contribute as well, mostly because the numbness in my feet get less as I get up and move around through the day. The third is the worst to me... sometimes when talking to someone I will suddenly find that a word is not there... Usually it comes to me but I have always been very eloquent and it bothers me now that I have to sometimes find another word for the one I cannot recall. I have always been this way with names but now it seems to be happening with other words as well. Sucks getting old.

My mom has end stage dementia and she was first diagnosed in February of 2020. I have to say it has to be one of the most horrific diseases. My father died of pancreatic cancer about 30 years ago and that’s a horrible way to die because of the fact that it’s very painful and I was by his side the entire time. I remember the last two weeks being unbearable and begging God to please take him. Of course afterwards is still hard because I miss him terribly, but it was awful seeing him like that. I have felt this way about my mom for over a year now. She was attacked by another resident in assisted living facility two years ago in her own bedroom. I had been warning them weekly for over three months that they needed to do something because this resident continually would go into my mothers room in the middle of the night and steal things and even try to climb into bed with her and my mom would wake up, terrified. They kept telling me they were gonna move my mom to the first floor next week and this went on for three months until finally, my mom went into her bedroom after an activity and this resident was in there and shoved my mom across the room which resulted in her breaking her hip, needing emergency surgery, a hospital stay and a month in rehab (and yes, I have filed a lawsuit against the facility ) So I had to move her again third move in 15 months and I also bought a house during that time which I swear I’m gonna die in as I never want to see another moving box as long as I live, she has now been confined to wheelchair as a result of that. The whole frontal lobe of her brain is severely damaged and she is pretty much nonverbal and about two months ago. She had a pretty bad stroke and her entire right side is paralyzed. Then two weeks ago she was hospitalized because they couldn’t get her out of bed due to severe pain and she has had hospice coming, but I made the mistake of agreeing with the owner of where she lives now (which is more like a home run by a wonderful Indian couple and there are only two other residents there and always two people in the house to take care of the residence and they love her like she is family) to take her to the hospital (I know now that if that happens again, and I told them they need to call her hospice nurse because they can put her in IPU and they will know exactly how to treat her) When I arrived, she was trying to throw herself off the bed and if I hadn’t gotten there when I did, she probably would have because her head was halfway between the bed and the floor and she was shaking so violently, she was convulsing. At that point, I called her hospice nurse and I said take her off all that blood pressure medicine cholesterol medicine, etc. the only thing I want her taking is comfort meds and throw the low sugar diet out the Window let her eat chocolate cake for breakfast if she wants. They came over to my house the social worker from Hospice to see what was going on with me because they thought maybe I was just really frustrated. During that hour, I burst into tears probably six times and they asked me how often are you seeing your mom? The home that she is in is less than 2 miles from my house so I was going there every night when I could between 430 and 530 so I could feed her and they said that I’m suffering from severe caregiver burnout, and I’m only allowed to go see her now twice a week and I have also had to seek some counseling. I feel horrible saying this, but I pray every night for God to take her home and I know I will miss her terribly and I feel guilty for feeling that way, but seeing her suffering like this is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to deal with in my life. If I ever am diagnosed with dementia, I have a very well sorted out plan and I don’t think God would approve of it, but there is no way I would ever want to put my children through this.

Do you have a sibling who can help. I’m a 66 year old man , and along with my brother , we take care of our 93 year old mom who suffers with dementia/Alzheimer’s. We could not put our mom in an assisted living facility simply because we can’t afford it, and to put her in a nursing home is out of the question. Financially, it is a hardship, but we use her social security and pension to pay a woman for home care for 6 hours a day 5 days a week.. weekends we are home so we take care of mom , and during the week days , we stagger our hours so that someone is there before the caregiver leaves. It is quite a hardship but we are happy to do it. I say this because, if you have a sibling , perhaps you can do the same. We use almost the entirety of her income from SS and pension. Our thoughts , and prayers for you and your mom. May God bless you both.

I watched both my parents cognitive decline in their eighty’s and my mother is presently living with Alzheimer’s. It’s a terrible disease that many are living with and very difficult for families. I was told if it’s a part of your family history you will end up having this disease. Very sad.

[@Vagabond_Etranger]

I'd take the advice of western doctors with a grain of salt. In 1994, I had bad back pain (couldn't even lift 25 lbs), due to me sitting on the computer all day & playing online games on Sierra Imagination Network. It was light years ahead of it's time. AOL was just text messaging at the time & Yahoo wasn't even around yet. Air Force doctor said I would need surgery, rods & pins in my back. I was 24-25 at the time. No way I'm doing that. Totally quit computers, besides using it at work. Went to the gym. Ate healthy. No more back pain. It has come n go a few times in the past, but I know that it's due to my own doing, sedentary lifestyle. Currently no back pain. Anytime I have back pain, just need to strengthen my core. Go for walks, jog, pushup, situp, etc. Staying fit is key. Don't really take any medications either. Even though I have 2 siblings, 1 doctor, 1 nurse. They've been trained in western medicine. Their solution is medication for everything.

[@hamsterbox4732]

In regards to obvious brain decline from the age of 25, I don't fully agreee, because your responsibilities in life multiply massively. Up to 25 you are ok with learn, study, look after yourself. Then you have to spin more and more plates in your life, as you realise all the consequences wrong decisions will cause. So there is so much more to think about and easily you forget some stuff you should have done/thought of. Partner, job, career, family, multiple kids to organise, prevent harm, safety, build house, save money, divorce (😐), organise your elderly parents, look after your health....

[@harveybc]

You bring up a very good point. For example, I noticed that when I was younger I had very little fear of working on my car. I just knew I could fix it. As I got older I was more reluctant to try to fix things. Even though my abilities had improved from experience I now started thinking of what all could go wrong, what it would cost, if I messed up.

[@Seanidor]

@@harveybc You might be referring to the Dunning-Kruger effect. The less you know about something, the more confident you are about it. @hamsterbox4732 I'm guessing one reason why we might see the brain start to decline around age 25 is because that's usually when it finally stops developing.

[@thereignofthezero225]

I just lost interest in most things, so my mind doesn't waste energy processing them beyond a certain extent

[@hamsterbox4732]

@Seanidor not sure, physically developing somehow, may be. But as we still carry on learning still new connections develop and someone said, still new brain cells can develop in later life. I guess we still don't know everything about brain development and learning...

For 3 or 4 years of 7, when I worked in auto recycling. We'd use air to blow off engines and transmissions made of album Nim that were heavily oxidized.

Then I realized that I hadn't actually written anything, aside from dates on food I was freezing, probably since the previous Christmas and had been doing so for years!

This is a very informative video, that said it sounds like a lot of the symptoms you described could be caused by a B vitamin deficiency. So maybe you should have told people to get them checked for lower levels. I remember a couple of years ago if I went to the store to get three things, when I got there I couldn't remember two of them. I didn't panic and stopped eating sugar and took extra B 12, B1, B3 along with multivitamin and minerals, extra cholene, and memory is good again.

Soooo this does slow me down a lot especially the continual neck/shoulder, headaches of the neck injury. Re dementia thanks to this vid I think I score pretty well and mentally seem fine. I sometimes worry a little about getting stuck for words, so will keep an eye out for that. Anyway for me a great vid and well worth the time to watch.

In my forties, I expressed concern to my family doctor that I may be experiencing symptoms of dementia. He dismissed my concerns out of hand saying Alzheimer's sufferers aren't aware they have the disease. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Another good video. Just saw one yesterday discussing how excess sugar in the liver causes more plaque to form, which leads to dementia. At 55, I'm not going to follow my mom's father and dad's mother into dementia. I don't want to do that to my beautiful young bride or 21-year-old son. I want to be like my mom's mother, who was sharp as ever up until 93 years old.

After watching this video I was sure that I had dementia when I was a child. I couldn't catch a ball, had a horrible handwriting (all grades very good, but handwriting a catastrophe), and other signs. When my mother told stories about when I was little, she always imitated my voice as very slow and without expression. Now, with 60, these signs have mitigated a lot. But I still have trouble to understand people if the surrounding is louder than them. But - I also have a late diagnosis since I was about 40: Asperger's Syndrome. 😊

Thank You @lindafink4434. I am now dubbing the original English audio track into multiple languages so I can get the message of health out to more people around the world. Depending on what region you are in when you click the video, and based on what your default language settings are, KZbin will automatically serve it out to you in that language. To choose your preferred language for a given video, simply go to the bottom right of the screen, (or maybe top right on mobile), and click on the gear icon (Settings). Then click on "Audio track" and select the language of your choice. I am diligently working to translate and upload more videos in more languages every day, but it will still take some time to get most or all of the videos translated. Thank you for watching and feel free to share this feature if you know people who prefer another language.
