One of the worst possible neurological diseases people could ever be diagnosed with is Alzheimer’s disease. From the memory loss to weight loss to depression, it’s a sad state for the people afflicted with it as well as the family members who are left to deal with a loved one who may or may not recognize them on a day-to-day basis. With 5.3 million Americans suffering from Alzheimer’s disease today with a new case being identified every 70 seconds, finding a solution for this problem is a serious topic worthy of discussion. This podcast guest stumbled upon an unexpected dietary “cure” for her husband’s Alzheimer’s disease.
In Episode 240 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore,” we are privileged to hear from Dr. Mary Newport who Jimmy first found out about after reading this St. Petersburg Times story about how feeding her husband coconut oil greatly IMPROVED his Alzheimer’s. It was such an extraordinary story that Jimmy just HAD to book her for an interview to tell this remarkable story to his listeners. She correctly identifies the glucose connection to Alzheimer’s disease which is now becoming well-known as Type 3 diabetes, how ketone bodies are the preferred fuel for brain function, and why medium chain triglycerides (MTCs) found in coconut oil are a miracle for her husband’s condition. This is one of the most stunning personal testimonies of how a high-fat, low-carb ketogenic diet can dramatically improve health. You can’t help but be a believer after listening to Dr. Newport gush about her husband Steve is overcoming his tremors, regain cognitive function, and DEFEATING his Alzheimer’s.
