Alzheimer's - The Factors We Have Control Over

Protecting Our Brain Early Starting With Understanding the Role of Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, Insulin Resistance, a Potential Microbial Presence & APOe4

Alzheimer’s is a neurodegenerative disease, meaning it involves the death of brain cells and the eventual loss of brain tissue. The brain changes leading to Alzheimer’s dementia begin twenty years before the onset of symptoms. This is important because the emerging research and clinical experience in functional medicine suggest that most contributing factors can be impacted. In this podcast episode, I’ll address:

- The incidence of Alzheimer’s

- What happens in the brain

- The course of the illness

- Biomarkers used for diagnosis, even before the onset of symptoms

- Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer’s

- Risks

- The role of the APOe4 gene

- The role of Insulin resistance in the brain

- The role of oxidative stress

- The role of inflammation

- Evidence of a fungal presence

- How these factors may be working together

Thank you Dr. Snyder!
I am assuming that MTHFR polymorphism can also be a cause ? Even if there is no presence of polymorphisms like APO E?
