This DOCTOR Knows What Causes Alzheimer’s and How You Can PREVENT It | Jay Lombard on Health Theory

Youth has a way of making you feel near invincible. Your body handles long nights, limited sleep, and poor diets much easier. The problem is those choices have a cumulative effect. What you eat, how often you eat also impacts the health of your brain. There is a Chinese proverb that says, “the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, and the second best time is now.” It is easy to disregard neurodegenerative diseases as something for older people, but understanding how leaky brain and neurodegeneration begins to happen is better learned now, than waiting till later if you plan to age gracefully. Dr. Jay Lombard may be incognito but his depth of knowledge and expertise in degenerative neurological diseases is astonishing. He breaks down what misfolded proteins are, the relation of infection and immune system processes to neurodegenerative disease and reveals simple ways you can support your immune system on a cellular level. Get ready to break out the ice baths and discover a new reason to relax in the sauna. Mentioned In this Episode: Everything ALS, https://www.everythingals.org/   Also, check out Dr. Jay Lombard’s book, The Mind of God: https://amzn.to/3iSyPFJ                          SHOW NOTES: 0:00 | Introduction 3:39 | Linking Infection & Neurological Injuries 6:12 | Blood Vessel Problems 9:21 | Managing Misfolded Proteins 12:36 | Breaking Down Pathological Proteins 16:56 | Immune System, Heat Shock Proteins 18:38 | Periodontal Disease Role in Alzheimer’s 22:01 | Risk Factors & Prevention 24:43 | Regulating Epigenetics 28:56 | Benefit of Fasting for Prevention 32:38 | Ultimate Diet for Prevention 37:32 | Meaning in Hopeless ALS Cases 41:38 | Biology of Meaning & Purpose  Follow Dr. Jay Lombard: Website: https://www.drjaylombard.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/MindfulNeuro Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjaylombard/ Check out our sponsors:  Better Help: Get 10% off your first month at https://betterhelp.com/impacttheory MindPump: Download their FREE guide at fatlossimpact.com  Italic: Sign up for an Italic membership at italic.com/join using code IMPACT for 30% off.
