Diabetes and Brain Health

“When most people think of diabetes, they think about insulin or blood sugar before they think about memory or mood. But in our work as neurologists, we’ve seen again and again how closely diabetes is tied to brain health.”

Listen to today’s episode written by Drs Ayesah & Dean Sherzaiat @thebraindocs.

=====================

Ayesha and Dean Sherzai are co-directors of the Alzheimer's Prevention Program at Loma Linda University. They're both practicing neurologists, scientists, authors, parents, and a husband and wife duo that know the value of healthy lifestyle choices and they’ve  seen the impact that their NEURO Plan framework has in making the sick healthy and in taking healthy to the next level. 

They met as young physicians and in their first conversation learned that both of their grandparents had spent their remaining days on this Earth suffering from dementia. They vowed to do whatever they could to help others avoid this fate and build healthy minds and bodies. They conduct research, treat patients, and serve as professors at Georgetown University, Columbia University, the National Institutes of Health, Mount Sinai, and Loma Linda University, where they serve as the co-directors of The Alzheimer’s Prevention Program.

They've worked with devastatingly disease-ridden populations and some of the healthiest people in the world – the Loma Linda 7th Day Adventist population (a Blue Zone community, defined by living measurably longer and healthier lives due to optimal nutrition, exercise, stress management, and social support.)

On a Keto Diet, My Heart Disease Got Worse. Going Plant-Based Helped Me Heal

“I read Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease by Caldwell Esselstyn Jr., M.D., which recommended a whole-food, plant-based diet. But I was more persuaded by ketogenic-diet advocates on YouTube and a chiropractic doctor who promoted supplements meant to reduce calcification.

So I adopted a keto diet and began taking the supplements. I followed their advice to the letter, hoping to slow the rise of my calcium score. Instead, over the years, my score steadily increased.”

Beef Tallow: What It Is And Why You Shouldn’t Be Cooking With It

“If beef tallow had an honest ad, it might read like this: “Craving a taste of the 1960s, when heart attacks were en vogue and high blood pressure was the norm? Then let me introduce you to… beef tallow!”

Once a kitchen staple, tallow is staging an epic comeback, fueled by nostalgia, influencer hype, and misinformation disguised as health advice(1). Before you jump on the tallow train, it’s worth a closer look at what it’s really made of.”

Who’s Controlling the Health Narrative? How Media Trends Are Rewriting Public Health

In the not-so-distant past, most of our health information came from textbooks, physicians, and peer-reviewed journals. Today, it comes largely from viral social media posts, including TikTok videos and Instagram reels, many of which have more flair than facts. Listen to today’s episode written by Klaus Mitchell at the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies.
