Talking of kids, my daughter followed my lead on Carnivore, and when her baby was about 4mths old, she started her on solids. She took to them instinctively and enthusiastically. Shes now 11months old, is off the charts literally on all metrics of growth and development, walked at 9mths. For brekky she demolishes bacon and eggs, for dinner she adores lamb chops, and favors the fat best. Because she has been chewing and chomping, her teeth came through early, and without much difficulty, she had 8 teeth at 9mths. My daughter compares her with her cousins baby born within 4 days of hers. The other baby is still soft and floppy, and vague. Her baby is a strong, agile, naughty problem solver, intent on discovery and escape. My daughter is sad, she wanted her to stay a cuddly baby, but Daisy has other plans. Carnivore is the natural way. I waited till 63 to work it out, she can have all the benefits from birth.

Fabulous conversation with Dr. Chaffee. Dementia is a metabolic, yet preventable disease if a proper human diet is strictly followed. Some level of exercise is also required to get the blood flow to all areas of the human body, and that includes the brain.

[@stefanierunz]

I am SO thankful he said what he said about exercise. As a CrossFit coach and personal trainer, I can’t tell you how many times I hear limiting talk like “well I can’t because I’m old” or “I can’t because it’s too hard”. Functional movement and working hard are a requirement for healthy living, it just looks different for each individual. He’s right. You NEED to be practicing the squat. Get out and just walk fast, do a Tabata set on a bike. Yes!

My mother had Alzheimer's and after living with the disease she eventually lost the ability to swallow. At that point, I was asked to decide on very difficulty questions. Whether she should be given a feeding tube. During this time, my mother had no ability to speak. I couldn't ask her anything. She couldn't tell me what she was feeling. After some months, she aspirated, which means something went down into her lungs, It could have been water, or food, or acid reflux. I don't know. That gave her pneumonia, so she was put on a breathing tube. It was a horrible death. I had to make the choice to remove the breathing tube. She survived another day or so, and died. Since that happened, my whole attitude has changed. I won't put up with any nonsense from anybody. People joke around about eating carbs, how they love pizza, or donuts, or whatever it is. I know the consequence of a casual attitude to "treats". I am adamant to tell parents not to give their kids candy. The parents think candy makes kids happy. But I see the behavior problems, the tantrums, the kids crying and screaming. One you see how sugar is affecting cognition and behavior in children, you cannot un-see it. Yet there is always someone in the child's life, whether a parent or grandparent or parents of the child's friends, who are totally blind and oblivious to what they are doing. They think they can fix the child with "discipline", such as time-outs, or trying to reason with the child. The adults never consider that they are causing the problem by giving children sugar.

As a nurse of 45 years I have to say that the generations before me who were getting Alzheimer's (I'm 65) were eating clean diets. They were not fast food, processed food people. They were also not overweight, overeating people. So while I believe there is a gut brain connection to Alzheimer's as well as Parkinson's, I wish we would dissect these brains and figure out exactly what germ/metal/chemical is causing it. The latest claim that if we just stayed away from chemicals and quit eating sugar we would not get ALZ, maybe true for diabetes but does not connect to Alzheimer's who are generally in perfect physical health, thin but confused. We have plenty of overeating Americans with heart disease and diabetes they are not the same as the Alzheimer crowd. Please keep up the research there is still something we are missing.

Perhaps chemicals in our products ie paint water filtration, our cooking eating utensils, cans with bpa etc that may have caused it in early generations with dementia. We now have advancements in those products but different things that we create ie food production preservatives, fast foods processed foods insecticides… i guess we can’t really win since we don’t grow our own food and has limited options as whatever is available in the market - preservatives companies use farms use in our country and imports too.

Except a brief bout of breast cancer in her 60s, she's been healthy and strong this whole time.

Omgosh I laughed at the squatting to the ground comment. I live in the US and grew up with my dad squatting down all the time, he'd squat when there was no chair, so I started doing it. At almost 40 I still do it! My mom said she was always impressed that I could still so that at my age because she could never do it. I always make sure I can squat to the ground and if I can't, my knees actually start hurting. So I'll keep squaring down to the ground as long as I can 😊

[@jodycourt]

Great interview and such valuable information. Thanks! As a rancher, we like grain finished beef best for taste and it has more fat. If we put out grain hay (barley) or pasture grass hay for our cows, they’ll eat up the grain hay first every time. The deer in our place go straight to the grain fields to eat too. Grain fed cattle get a mix of grass hay and grain so there is a balance. I’m not worried about grain fed beef. Their 4 chamber stomachs can handle it.

[@jorgegonzales9815]

I think what the Dr. said is "grass finished" beef is the best for human health. Not grain finished.

[@TheFlatbedChick]

I think “grain finished” usually involves corn and soy at the big feed lots. I think that’s what most people are referring to when they say grain fed or grain finished … 🤷‍♀️

What a fantastic session, thank you! My Mum died of Alzheimer’s and dementia and I am looking to avoid this. I already do Keto, so this was not a surprise to me, but what most people don’t realize is that muscle is your glucose sink, (just as trees are a carbon sink). So, when we age and reduce muscle there is nowhere for the glucose to go except into the bloodstream and then you get diabetes. I have flat feet and was told by the doctor that I could no longer run, so it was really helpful that you recommended other forms of exercise that I can do instead of sprinting. I don’t think I have seen this addressed anywhere else, so thank you again.

I'm greatly grateful to have found this particular podcast about dementia. All of the information shared by Dr. Chaffee gives me hope that I can help reverse the onset of dementia on my husband's brain. I'm unsure though if I could buy the essential foods for his healthy nutrition considering the prohibitive cost of meat, eggs, butter, and milk from grass-fed animals(which are their healthy sources). Authentic olive oil, fatty fish like the wild caught salmon, tuna, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, etc. are likewise expensive. For some years, I've avoided eating meat because some say it's bad for digestion and it causes constipation and that the animal fat from bacon elevates bad cholesterol level. It's difficult to really know which diet is safer and better. Thank you, blogger of 5 Minute Body. BTW, I'm curious re the title of your channel.

Taxi driving is terrible for your metabolic health. Very very stressful Unsocial hours, often nights. Sedentary sat in a cab 12hrs a day. Usually horrible diet, takeaway food and drinks. Better to be a hospital driver, more social, less risk, less stress and daytime hours.

My dad is 89 and he still drives and his brain is sharp and he's never been in the hospital and he's super healthy so I don't know where these doctors are getting their information but not everybody in the world is sick and has dementia!!!!.
