Episode description
Story at-a-glance
- Alzheimer's disease affects memory and cognition, with the number of cases globally expected to reach more than 150 million by 2050. The disease is primarily driven by inflammation, oxidative stress, and gut-brain dysfunction
- Kefir consumption significantly improves memory and cognition in Alzheimer's patients by reducing amyloid plaques, tau tangles, and inflammatory markers while protecting neurons
- C15:0, an essential fat found in grass fed dairy like kefir, protects against neurodegeneration by strengthening cell membranes, protecting mitochondria, and displacing harmful linoleic acid
- Iron accumulation in the brain accelerates Alzheimer's progression through oxidative damage and ferroptosis; regular blood donation reduces iron overload
- Daily strategies such as optimizing beneficial gut bacteria, eliminating vegetable oils from your diet, and avoiding gluten offer protection against cognitive decline and neurodegeneration
