Highlights from today’s episode include:

Dr. Romi Fung, ND

I’m trying to tell everyone else because right now, the evidence, at least in the written literature, it says that about a third of all dementias is preventable. But I believe that that is underestimated. I believe at least 60% If not 90% of dementia can potentially be prevented through a lot of our nutritional means dietary as well as lifestyle.

And there’s one gene now that’s isolated called bace-one, B A C E -1, and by eliciting it, that we actually start making and producing more of the beta amyloid plaque. And there are many things, I’m going to give you one example right now that induces this plaque, the number one I find is something called hypoxia, or lack of oxygen.

And iron is what we need to make hemoglobin in our blood. If we don’t have enough hemoglobin in our blood, our ability to carry oxygen throughout the body and thus throughout the brain is impacted.
