Re: Blood test results from March 2024
I obtained blood tests in March 2024 (I had just turned 29, and I'm female; I also did NOT fast that day). My results revealed the following: Total cholesterol: 174 HDL: 63 Triglycerides: 50 LDL Chol, calculated: 98 Cholesterol/HDL Ratio: 2.8 Non-HDL cholesterol: 111 Hemoglobin A1C: 5.1 Glucose: 88...

Re: Another newbie with a host of questions
Hi. My name is Paul, and I recently learned (23&me) that I have one ApoE4 gene. Not a surprise, since I have considerable family history of Alzheimers on my mother's side. Also, I'm 73, and have had enough instances of minor memory struggles (not recalling the name of a city I've visited, or a ...

Re: 21 Proven Ways to Increase Brain Blood Flow
I also learned that more than 100 mg of caffeine a day will restrict blood flow. A Venti from Starbucks has 300 mg of caffeine. I don't drink caffeinated coffee or tea, so that won't make a difference to me, but just in case anyone is wondering about coffee. I've been thinking about caffeine lately...

Re: 21 Proven Ways to Increase Brain Blood Flow
Following up on this older thread: I just purchased gingko today after having listened to Dr. Daniel Amen about what enhances and restricts blood flow to the brain. My favorite quote from this really interesting interview : The prettiest brains I've ever seen take gingko I want a pretty brain :D so ...

Vision loss and high LDL cholesterol modifiable risk factors for dementia

Re: Feel like my time is running out
Taking care of your health through nutrition, exercise, sleep, and socializing are the top preventative factors. I am glad that you will find ways to prioritize them moving forward. The more you exercise, the healthier you'll want to eat. It's a beneficial cycle. I wish you good luck!

Re: Thyroid medication?
You're welcome. It's confusing because there are two studies with slightly different messages: In 2022, Brown University (the Taiwan study) found that people over 65 with hypothyroidism were 80% more likely to develop dementia than those without thyroid issues. Furthermore, those who required thyroi...

Re: Thyroid medication?
Thank you. I like TLS's recommendation to check my iodine levels. Plumster, Bredesen's recommendation to take thyroid medicine (I've read The End of Alzheimer's) predates his more recent posting on X about the new research regarding that medicine being linked to dementia. If one is subclinical and ...

Thanks, Kitkat. For anyone interested, here is another link that Bredesen provided on X, to an article about the study: https://scitechdaily.com/thyroid-problems-linked-to-increased-risk-of-developing-dementia/ Bredesen on X: ReCODE Protocol participants know that hormones impact cognitive health.
