S1E36 // Cognitive Decline, Alzheimer’s Disease & Benefits of Low-Carb & Keto Diets w/ Amy Berger

Summary: In Episode 36, Dr. Bubbs interviews nutrition expert and author of the Alzheimer’s Antidote, Amy Berger MS, who takes a deep dive into topics of brain health, cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease. Amy discusses how Alzheimer’s disease is an energy crisis in the brain, how the brain cells are effectively “starving” for fuel and the potential role low-carb and ketogenic diets may play in providing the brain with an alternate and effective fuel source. She also unpacks the physiology of beta-amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, and the critical role of cholesterol and key nutrients like choline and vitamin B12 in brain health. Lots of actionable and insightful tips here from Amy! Check out my show notes at drbubbs.com/podcast.
