Could Alzheimer’s be a preventable, treatable condition caused by something as common as insulin resistance? This powerful new article explores the emerging view of Alzheimer’s as Type 3 Diabetes—a metabolic disorder where the brain is starved of energy despite being flooded with glucose. For caregivers, seniors, and families affected by dementia, this could be the hope we’ve been waiting for: real prevention strategies that start with the food we eat and the habits we build today.

Did you know that Alzheimer’s disease shares striking similarities with diabetes? Some experts now refer to it as “Type 3 Diabetes” due to the role insulin resistance plays in cognitive decline. Just as diabetes affects the body’s ability to process sugar, impaired insulin function in the brain leads to neuron damage and memory loss. The good news? Lifestyle changes that help prevent diabetes—like healthy eating and regular exercise—may also support brain health and reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s.

Alzheimer’s disease has strong metabolic roots, and diet plays a pivotal role in either accelerating or slowing its progression. Key factors such as excessive sugar, processed foods, and unhealthy fats contribute to insulin resistance, inflammation, and oxidative stress, all of which damage the brain. By making healthier dietary choices, individuals can protect their cognitive health and lower the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
