World-Renowned Neuroscientist shares tips on preventing Dementia & boosting brain health

Mark and doctor thank you. Very informative. I have had 2 CAC Scan scores 9 years apart and both zero so very happy at 65years. I recommend everyone gets the calcium score and buys a blood pressure monitor. SO Please Get a heart CAC Scan score - if you have a calcium score then that tells you calcium is everywhere else in your vascular system - it tells you if you have atherosclerosis throughout your body. You are looking for zero. The good doctor said if you had a calcium score of 25 you should do something. I know someone still alive and well who made no changes to his life and had a calcium score of 480 yes 480 in 2015. He eats lots of fat, protein , sugar and dairy but BUT does a lot of resistance training in his work ( not a gym etc) he’s a mechanic !! So 9 years later aged now aged 75 still with us and enjoying the same life lifestyle and food so I remain not confident that we really understand health as well as we think.

A thoroughly enjoyable and most interesting discussion. Australia is indeed fortunate to have individuals such as Matthew who has so much knowledge and Mark who can ask the excellent questions so that this incredible knowledge can be shared.

Thanks for the nice words

😮holy cow Mark, stop this you are scaring me because you are so good at this! Mark, I just watched this episode and had to say how much it resonated with me. Having been diagnosed with a rare neuro disease, I found your conversation with Professor Matthew Kiernan both inspiring and deeply insightful. What you said about the importance of lifestyle and brain health was not only true but incredibly helpful-it really hit home for me. Your approach to these complex topics was thoughtful and relatable, which makes such a difference to those of us navigating these challenges. I laughed, I learned, and I walked away feeling more empowered. Thank you for shining a light on these critical issues and for presenting them in a way that’s as engaging as it is meaningful. Keep up the great work! Thanks again and now My new full time job is to live life (and support the Roosters)!🎉

Loved this conversation. I thoroughly enjoyed the last section of the podcast. The brain indeed is the inner space and we absolutely take it all for granted.

[@MarkBourisYT]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Wish you had touched on fasting - I would have liked to understand if One meal a day was good - ie a two hour eating window. It are longer darts good a 48 or 72 hour fast once a month. Please Mark can you follow up on fasting for good health. 👏🏻👏🏻

The biggest gains in brain health from exercise come from two things: Aerobic exercise (30+ minute cardio session) and strength training (maximum of 5 reps). Hypertrophy doesn't seem to provide the benefits that aerobic and strength training too, but, muscle mass is still important as we age.

Fantastic session. So great to hear from professionals in Australia. Thank you. I am 68 female Asian living in Aus since young . I have the highest level (3 & 3 ) of amyloid in my brain though my brain MRI is “ no concerns, normal for my age”, my memory test score is 27/30. My HDL 2.5 LDL 4 and trig 0.7 , normal blood sugar and blood pressure. I am slim, active gym 4 times a week, walk a lot, eat healthy. My CAC was 50 10 yrs ago and 60 last year. My angiogram result is normal. I am very worried I do feel my memory is not as sharp as b4 ( sometime slower to come up with words or to remember what I did a few days ago ), but friends have not noticed and keep telling me “it’s just old age”. I have started reading books more and do sudoku to top level. I do not know what else to do. How would you interpret my situation ? Is it worth to be on the amyloid removal drugs, risking having side effects such as brain bleed ? Plus there has been long & comprehensive youtube clips talking about the “brain amyloid deposit causing Alzhermer’s theory is ridged as the proof of the theory contains many photoshop pics”. Much appreciated.

The amyloid hypothesis is trash and is one of the biggest failures in medical science. The FDA-Approved Monoclonal Antibodies he was referring to are Lecanemab & Aducanumab and their efficacy is really pathetic & risks very high (2 in 10 get brain swelling or bleeding, 1 in 100 severe!!!). Anyone that talks about dementia for an hour and does not mention inflammation / immune system, unfortunately is not focused where all the breakthroughs are coming. The good news; mid 2025 enormous breakthroughs will be announced!

Interesting, thank you

There was no Alzheimer’s before 1979 and the cholesterol myth. The mythology of epigenetics Beef is being radiated and it affects the body. Fluoride and vaccines 💉 Those who don’t follow the dr advice will live 11 months longer than those who do in USA at least. Studies show that the more drs in an area the more 24:50 we do chose our parents. 25:23 Neuro degenerative diseases are linked to cholesterol because the brain 🧠 is made up of 80 percent cholesterol. Brains having seizures are short circuiting. They need butter 🧈 & eggs 🥚 It took2 years to reverse my son’s seizures and he’s seizure free for 10 years now. 30:30 😂 the only difference between LDL and HDL is the cholesterol was cooked at high heat. Intermittent Fasting is wonderful for helping your body heal. Also sauna and Ice 🧊 baths. 33:05 use Vitamin C to keep elasticity. Hemorrhaging is due to lack of copper and vitamin C. Lymph node massage and Dandelion tea. Turmeric for eyes joints and weight loss. Use Sea Salt 🧂 and find a Naturopathic Physician This guy does not keep up with the studies. 35:19 no 🤚🏻🚫 NO Statins or blood thinners. 39:43 DIET. 😂 CONSTITUTION? Avoid SUGAR. I TS TOXIC TO the brain. 🧠 😂 you are what you think 🤔💭 42:39 statistically speaking that’s not important 43:38 Dr. Joel Wallach “Dead doctors 🥼 don’t Lie” “Cereal Killers” Plaque is due to use of seed oils and eating fried foods too much and diet is crap with no nutrients Go on a cleanse to detoxify your body. All cancer can be cured with vitamin C and ketogenic diet. The sugar is what the cancer feeds on. Your body can burn both 54:38 🚫🤚🏻no Placebo factor Family Health history is only relevant if you Believe in the genetic bs. Identical twins have disproven that.

Mark, I am not sure if you have heard of an Aussie Dr. Paul Mason? He does a number of health presentations on KZbin including the reason behind Dementia. Paul is very generous with his time and I'm sure would be happy to come on your podcast.
