Key Moments

Protein Aggregation: Protocol

He's got a really interesting multi-pronged protocol for preventing and also helping treat mild cognitive dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Thanks very much, Rhonda.

"Now, interestingly, for the ApoE4s, what we typically suggest, and this was actually originally suggested by Julie G., who started the website, ApoE4.info, you essentially start with using the MCT..."

Big 6 Lymphatic Discussion

It does contribute to chronic inflammatory conditions like arthritis and like cognitive decline. In your case, of course, as you indicated, you're interested in prevention because you already know that you're ApoE4 positive.

"So many people, I mean, this wasn't even known as a problem when I was in medical school, but it's become very clear that it's very common. It does contribute to chronic inflammatory conditions like arthritis and like cognitive decline."
