The Metabolic Root of Alzheimer’s: Rethinking Dementia as Type 3 Diabetes

by with No Comment Blog

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.

Read more about how metabolic health may hold the key to memory, identity, and independence.

How Food Labels and Dietary Guidelines Fuel Insulin Resistance

by with No Comment Blog

As caregivers, we do our best to make the healthiest choices for our loved ones and ourselves. But what happens when the very labels we trust — “sugar-free,” “heart-healthy,” “low-fat” — are leading us down a path of worsening insulin resistance and cognitive decline? This eye-opening article explores the hidden dangers of modern food labeling and how they contribute to conditions like Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and obesity — reminding us that protecting memory and metabolic health starts with knowing what’s really in our food.

The Connection Between Alzheimer’s and Diabetes: What You Need to Know

by with No Comment Blog

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. Read more about the metabolic connection between Alzheimer’s and diabetes.

Understanding the Decline in Testosterone Levels Across Generations: Impacts, Causes and Solutions

by Blog

In recent decades, a concerning trend has emerged: testosterone levels have been declining among men across generations, while hormonal shifts are also becoming more evident in women. These changes extend beyond the natural aging process; they appear to be occurring earlier and more dramatically than in previous generations. For instance, studies have shown that a man in his 60s today has, on average, significantly lower testosterone levels than a man of the same age in the 1980s. This decline is not simply a byproduct of aging but affects men across all age groups, including younger generations like millennials and Gen Z. Meanwhile, women are experiencing different types of hormonal changes, with some showing increased levels of testosterone, particularly in relation to conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

The Top Controllable Dietary Risks for Alzheimer’s Disease

by Blog

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.

Inflammation Free

There is a certain amount of luck or misfortune that just comes our way, but at the same time, there are many things that are not entirely out of our control. You may have been born beautiful, incredibly intelligent, or given every advantage imaginable through wealth and stature; these are things we obviously have no control over. However, there are some very controllable and impactful factors that can, and do, have profound implications for your health, happiness, lifespan, and quality of life. Moreover, in the end, don’t we finally figure out that these are the things that matter most.

Breaking the Cycle: Solutions for Frequent Daytime Urination and Nocturia

by Blog

Nocturia, a condition characterized by the need to urinate multiple times during the night, stands as a significant disruptor of sleep and a considerable detriment to overall health and well-being. This condition transcends mere inconvenience, affecting a wide demographic with varying degrees of severity and underlying causes. Its impact on sleep quality cannot be overstated; frequent nighttime awakenings to urinate can lead to fragmented sleep patterns, resulting in daytime fatigue, decreased productivity, and a compromised immune system.

Recent insights have illuminated the multifaceted nature of nocturia, revealing associations with factors beyond the urinary system. Notably, extended screen time, dietary habits, sleep disorders, and other lifestyle habits have been implicated in the prevalence and exacerbation of nocturia. These findings suggest that the management of nocturia requires a holistic approach, addressing not just the symptoms but also the myriad factors contributing to its onset.
