I have always felt that oxygen supply to the brain is key. We brought it on ourselves when we started walking upright. I reckon the high you get from exercise is little to do with endorphins etc but due to the faster heart beat managing to pump more blood to the brain, making this feel good.

My father started having a mental status change at 82 over a month. It came to the point the he started having sudden screaming fits. We and he was staring a lot. We took him to the ER and they admitted him into to the hospital. The hospital staff would sometimes look at him like he was crazy. But we knew he wasn’t. He is super sharp and still goes to work and work on things every day. Until this started. Why, some of the nursing staff was puzzled because in the afternoons, he would seem to be totally with it. The hospitalist walked in the room without talking to us or my family apparently just reading notes in the chart and told us that this was dementia. We said dementia doesn’t come on so quickly like this, but he insisted it was dementia, and said, sometimes this happens, patted me on the back and left the room. He would not change his mind about the diagnosis we refused to accept this. We had neurology get involved, and the neurologist had a spinal tap done. Most of it was all normal, but there was one area of suspicion. The neurologist had a hunch that maybe he had auto immune encephalitis. They treated him with IG therapy and he was completely normal and has been ever since. If we weren’t there to advocate for my father, he would’ve been diagnosed with dementia, and probably would’ve died. I wonder how many people who don’t have family or anyone to advocate, for them actually have autoimmune encephalitis in our diagnosed as dementia or mental illness instead.

A huge contributor to overmedication is having too many doctors. As we age it is common to have a GP, a cardiologist, and another form one of many fields in which individuals fall. I only have had one regular doctor (at a time) for more than a decade. However, they retire, or leave, or the medical practice leaves town. Just in the last five years five doctors or PAs have tinkered with my medications. I accept the prescriptions and adjust my BP meds to minimize the number of them and just bring my BP in line. If I took them all my BP would be dangerously low some of the time. Fifteen years ago my GP was adamant I take thyroxin, and since then various doctors have continued it blindly until my present doctor. She was amazed - it is apparently rare for a 70 year old man to need thyroxin, and I have never had any of the symptoms of low thyroid.

I have to tell him, LOOK at your plate! It's full, a normal sized plate. He's half paralyzed from the stroke and can't afford to go over 200 lbs and be able to walk with his cane.

I isolated myself for four years after I lost my son to suicide. Not going anywhere, very minimal contact with others and having my shopping delivered. It was necessary for my mental health and grief at the time. After four years I started to observe negative and worrying changes in my thinking and behaviour. I decided to do something about it before it was too late.

Low carb diets have actually been found to reverse dementia symptoms. Some prolonged fasting should do it even more quickly, especially if you refeed on a low carb diet. We're not supposed toe at all day! Some benefits of occasional extended fasting and lowering carbs in the diet: High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting. Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time, including in the heart and lungs. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy. When insulin is high, vit D stays locked in the blood cells. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion plaques, growths and pathogens by the immune system. This will also remove spikes quicker, whether natural or unnatural in origin! Your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies in a 72h fast, rejuvenating your entire immune system. This helps prevent the onset of new autoimmune conditions, which develop through a leaky gut and damaged immune system. Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, reducing inflammation and allowing the immune bodies to move freely through the body. Fasts from 36-96 h increase metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release! Fasting restores your circadian rhythm to normal over time. T cells and T reg cells are vital in fighting cancer, autoimmune disease and infections but as we age the thymus stops making as many of them. Fasting releases stem cells, which then can become new T cells. It also releases growth hormone, which regenerates the thymus itself! Fasting restores NAD+ and increases nitric oxide release to open blood vessels. Reflexes and short term memory are increased. Fasting increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors and increases average telomere length in stem cell pools. Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures. When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell required for viruses to replicate. What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast but most teas and herbs are OK. Supplements and meds often break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building. Fasting activates autophagy (literally self eating). This will cause cells to recycle damaged proteins and foreign matter such as viruses. Lowering insulin via fasting virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue! The obese will lose loose skin while fasting, but the frail will have increased growth hormone release, which helps to make more lean tissue and reduce frailness. Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility for some women. It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitochondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism, fighting infection and cancer prevention! 24h of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half! This reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function. Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system, just like the effect of CBD oil Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers. Some patients may need continued acid reduction medication while fasting. When the fast is completed, your stomach acid levels will be normalized. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose. Except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood. This stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth, which can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with. Fasting increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer. A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs. Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. They also help with dementia and many other issues even if you take them while not fasting! Glycine and trimethylglycine can also be useful supplements while fasting that won't break ketosis and have many benefits. Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast and seek advice.

Sort your tools, clean your truck, do your laundry, cook some beautiful food. Engage in meaningless conversations that makes you laugh. Make fun of people. Pay no attention to politics. Drink the cleanest water you can get. Don't drink alcohol and don't smoke cigarettes. Take time and practice remembering your life. Review your life and your choices. If you're over 65 and the average life expectancy is 73.5 How you spend your time is important. Learn from older people. We spend a lot of time talking about trips to the hospital and eating healthy and staying healthy. What foods are good for your gallbladder? What foods are good for your kidneys? What foods are good for your liver and your pancreas? What foods are good for your eyes? When someone gets sick research their illness. Everybody that's 10 years older than you is your warning system. Learn from the mistakes of others. What foods strengthen your immune system? Go for a walk. Sit in the Sun. Take an afternoon nap. Reduce stress. Stay away from people that are stressful. Don't get caught up in other people's emotions. Tell people to fuck off- this reduces depression.

Great video, spot on! And I write this after listening to another Dr and reading comments under it how: ppl take medication for the blood pressure but still get dementia and by the way have diabetes" - shocker! So, this video is a treasure to explain the issue of dementia which is becoming a serious problem: many mothers of friends of mine are demented, old ppl homes are flourishing, we are headed for disaster in full speed. Closing ppl inside like rats during C🤡VID did excellent job to speed up the process. Crime against humanity.

I became a "mother" at around 13 to my siblings because my narcissistic mother has always been entitled and lazy, but didn't realise it till much later in life. As a superwoman I also attracted a weak, dependent man. Fortunately with God's grace, I realized all this and cut them off - the narcissists and enablers who are just as guilty. My precious daughters are now mature, educated and responsible who understand how damaged I have been, and at 60 am finally at peace 😊.

[@LucitaBrown]

I too have a narcissistic mother. It took me over 60 years to figure that out. Now she’s 92, drinks wine all day and wants visitors all the time. Fortunately I’m 1-1/2 hours away and don’t drive on Bay Area freeways so my brother drives. She has been controlling, manipulative, lazy when it comes to things she doesn’t want to do, has to be the center of attention, etc etc. I now treat her the way she treated me when I was a kid. I’m so tired of her.

'Isolation' is - or should be - very, _very_ different from 'living alone'. I know people who live in a family situation but who are lonely and feel isolated. I live alone and I love it. I am physically and mentally active, have a busy social life and am involved with U3A where I lead a couple of groups. I will soon be 80; old sporting injuries are catching up with me and the achilles tendon I ruptured a few years ago will never be the same again - but hey ho, most of my bits still work as nature intended!

My mother is on four BP medications . She is 93. Her BP is still an average of 188 ( top number). It was up at 215 for two days. She is obsessed with it. Her kidneys are shot too. So we are at her nephrologist every 12 weeks. I don’t understand why at 93 they just can’t let people go off meds. They’d probably feel better. I personally at 65 refuse medications to prolong my life, but I do mostly protein and vegetables with fats.

At 91 and after years of my mother having low blood pressure, she went for a health check up and on that one occasion her blood pressure was higher than normal, the GP immediately put her on Statins, we told mum to refuse them, she did, she is now 96 still going strong and her blood pressure is still low. Doctors and their propensity to over prescribe are bad for your health, best to stay away unless you are seriously unwell!

I agree with your analysis. So many KZbin channels that tell seniors how to live on a few dollars a week for food provide recipes that are high in carbs and processed foods. Those things may fill (or overfill and contribute to obesity) one's belly, but they are so detrimental to overall health. I would like to see more videos showing seniors how to grow a few fresh veggies at home in containers or raised beds, and then spend their small food budget on protein. One can buy lots of canned or fresh fish, poultry, and even beef (especially the tougher cuts that can be tenderized with cooking) on a small budget. I am 70 and practice what I'm writing in this comment. I also confine my sugar intake to fresh fruit or the rare treat on special occasions. A good diet, a reasonable amount of exercise, and social interaction are critically important to good physical and mental health.

Alcoholism is a reason my sister at age 52 years old has dementia, she is in nursing home since 2015, I am her guardian for 14 years. I am 72 yo and this year I find myself not wanting to go visit her but I force myself 3 times a week to go. She no longer speaks or feeds herself and is in a wheelchair. It is so difficult seeing all the residents just lying there in wheelchairs every day non verbal and cannot move. If we had a pet suffering like this we would help them leave this world. I am just so sad for her, no one else in my family goes to visit, she is baby of nine siblings. Not even her daughter. Shame on them. Alcohol-related dementia (ARD) is a form of dementia caused by long-term, excessive consumption of alcohol, resulting in neurological damage and impaired cognitive function. i think over medicated is also cause of my older sister’s strokes and loss of kidney function and stroke dementia. It’s a sad world.

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this video. I’m a 68 years old woman and I try my best to eat properly but I can’t afford a ketogenic diet, I don’t think many pensioners can tbh so I cut out sugars and eat good meat as often as I can. One other risk is medication of various sorts, especially ones who create a ‘downer’ effect such as zopiclone. Please can you do a video on this type of medication and dementia? As a sufferer of sciatica I take gabapentin but even that I’m not really happy to take and I have cut out all other meds previously prescribed including omeprazole and simvastatin. Turns out I don’t need them anyway.
