Fantastic work! You should be really proud of yourselves! It just shows how much you can achieve.HappyForHope wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2025 6:09 pm Today marks 1 month since my husband received his diagnosis. This is my FIRST PRGRESS REPORT.
To date I have;
* put him on a gluten-free, dairy-free meal plan
* increased his healthy proteins
* tripled his caloric daily intake (as he is underweight)
* he gets only good grains
* removed ALL processed foods from his diet (critical)
* include a par-steamed vegetable and protein with each meal (par-steamed helps heal the gut)
* The Dr. took him off his probiotic but I'm going to reinstute.
* Meals are strictly 3 hours apart. (also heals the gut)
* put him a 12/3 fasting program
* calculated HIS necessary water intake and adjusted accordingly
* put him on a guided movement plan....AKA exercise program
* got him tested/approved for a CPAP machine (I got this done in just 2 days)
* removed all sugar and beer from his diet
* adjusted his vitamins according to his test results and kinetic testing + Dr. recommendations.
* administered his 2nd MoCA test (this morning)
PROGRESS REPORT EVALUATION -
He still loses words but not nearly as much - Improved !
His handwriting is still scribbly - No improvement
His MoCA score went from 23 (just 14 days ago to 27 this morning. Last night is was 30 unassisted) Improved !
His sister (the only one who knows), hears an enormous improvement in his conversing. Improved !
Suggestions are welcomed.....PLEASE.
The MoCA test is a good starting point, as it is simple to administer, but it is a bit of a blunt instrument. Do you think he'd be able to have a go at the Cq test now? It's free, but it will give you more to work on and follow his improvements over time: https://www.apollohealthco.com/cognitiv ... trial-2022
And, I'm just wondering about the "good grains". Did you consider keto? You might not want to go down that road, you're clearly doing well with what you're already doing. Worth a look though? https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a ... 0724003932
I'd look at KetoFLEX 12/3 (you're already doing the 12/3 part) for a good, healthy version of keto.
Keep us in the loop!
