Dr. Andrew Koutnik is a metabolic scientist who has completed a study on a high-fat ketogenic diet over a 10-year period in a high-risk patient population (type 1 diabetes). This patient population has a 10x higher cardiovascular risk compared to non-diabetics.

The question proposed in this 10-year-long high-fat, low-carb study was to assess end markers including glycemic control and advanced cardiovascular markers, while keeping other variables consistent. The results were surprising, showing notable outcomes in both glycemic control and LDL cholesterol.

45 million of the currently living Americans are set to die of Alzheimer's, and the signature of Alzheimer's is insulin resistance. Therefore, this is not a disease of old age; it's a disease that can affect anyone.

My guest today is Dr Dale Bredesen, a world-renowned brain expert and best-selling author, who knows the cause of Alzheimer's and dementia, and has published studies to show reversal of cognitive decline and Alzheimer's with a high-fat diet.

In Dr Bredesen's published trial, they looked at people who were in the third and fourth phase, that is to say, mild cognitive impairment and early dementia. 84% of them improved their cognitive scores.

"We're seeing a reversal of decline. We're seeing sustained improvements. We're seeing people with normal cognition enhance their cognitive abilities by doing the right things. This is a very exciting time!"
