Louisa Nicola explains why dementia is not just a disease of old age, but rather a disease of lifestyle. In this episode, Don sits down with renowned neurophysiologist and founder of the Neuro Experience podcast, Louisa Nicola, to discuss one of the most devastating conditions: Alzheimer’s disease.

She reveals the staggering statistic that 95% of Alzheimer’s cases can be prevented and shares the exact protocols she recommends for risk reduction, even if you have a family history or the ApoE e4 gene.

In this episode, you will learn:

• 
  

  What is Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and the alarming rate at which it can accelerate.

  
  


• 
  

  Why women represent two-thirds of all Alzheimer’s cases and the role of hormonal shifts.

  
  


• 
  

  Why Alzheimer's is sometimes called "Type 3 Diabetes" and how the brain literally starves itself of glucose.

  
  


• 
  

  Louisa’s #1 tool for prevention: the minimum strength and aerobic exercise required to protect your brain. (Hint: Bigger legs = bigger brain!).

  
  


• 
  

  The benefits of the MIND Diet and why Louisa champions exogenous ketones as an alternative fuel source for the brain.

  
  


• 
  

  The paramount importance of sleep for clearing brain plaque and the hidden dangers of a sedentary lifestyle.
