📋 When Eddie Rodriguez’s father was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s at 53, his family was told to get their affairs in order and wait for the inevitable. Instead, Eddie helped lead a full-scale experiment in metabolic therapies and the Bredesen Protocol that not only improved his dad’s cognition, but also reshaped Eddie’s own life, his CrossFit-fueled low-carb lifestyle, and his mission to change what a “deterministic” Alzheimer’s gene means for future generations.​

🔑 What You’ll Learn in this Episode

• How Eddie’s family used ketogenic and low-carb metabolic therapies to dramatically improve his father’s cognition after a bleak early-onset Alzheimer’s diagnosis.​
• The basics of the Bredesen Protocol, including cognoscopy testing, root-cause hunting, and why there is no single “silver bullet” for dementia.​
• Why genes like ApoE4 and Presenilin-1 may “load the gun” but lifestyle and environment pull the trigger—and how that mindset shapes Eddie’s daily choices.​
• Practical ways fasting, ketones, exercise, sleep, stress management, and toxin reduction can work together to support brain health.​
• How lived experience, storytelling, and communities like BrainHeal(th) and Metabolic Collective are accelerating awareness of metabolic therapies worldwide.​

💡 Key Insight

“Genes load the gun—what we do, what we eat, what we breathe, how we think, and the environment we put ourselves in pulls the trigger.”​  -Eddie Rodriguez
