    There is no cure for Alzheimer’s. Prevention is essential. If we want a future with a lower risk of Alzheimer’s and cognitive decline, we must care for the brain long before symptoms begin. My new book Brain Defenders is a practical guide for doing exactly that. Pre-order now:

    This might not seem like much…until it’s your parent. 20g of creatine daily for 8 weeks boosted brain creatine by 11% and improved cognition in Alzheimer’s patients. Hope lives in the details.

    The science is clear: there’s an indisputable link between what we eat and our general and even mental heatlh. So why don’t MDs receive more significant nutritional training, either in medical school or during their residencies?

    Allulose is my go-to sugar sweetener right now. It actually reduces blood sugar levels associated with meals and helps stimulate GLP-1 activity to control appetite. Do you use allulose?

    Creatine might be one of the most valuable supplements for brain and body health. I take 5g twice daily. Research suggests it may improve cognition in early Alzheimer’s while supporting mitochondrial function.

    My stance on alcohol is evolving. Alcohol consumption is now the third highest risk factor for the development of cancer. It’s becoming more and more clear that skipping that nightly glass of wine is in your best interest.

    Alzheimer’s has reached epidemic proportions—affecting over 5.8M Americans. Despite what you’ve been told, it is absolutely within your control to take actions to decrease your risk. Who’s in?

    A good night's sleep is, and I cannot stress this enough, one of the most powerful gifts you can give to your body and your brain.

    Fructose has been called a "potential time bomb” for dementia risk. I couldn’t agree more.
