Alzheimer's and Aging: Stopping Alzheimer's Before It Starts Jun 25, 2024

Show notes

Did you know every 65 seconds, someone in the United States develops Alzheimer's?

It’s not just an old age issue.

That's right, the changes in our brains that lead to cognitive decline and memory loss can start happening WAY earlier than you might think.

We're talking decades before any noticeable symptoms even appear!

But here's the good news: this means we have a golden opportunity to prevent the progression of this devastating disease.

And the earlier we start, the better our chances of keeping our brains sharp.

Watch this video as I sit down with the one and only Dr. Bredesen - a renowned expert in Alzheimer's research, author of the groundbreaking book "The End of Alzheimer's Program," and an advocate for cognitive health.

The Knew Method Live is a show broadcast live by Dr. Efrat Lamandre every week with the express purpose of providing free, factual, and practical functional medicine tips to help people prevent disease naturally.

The Thyroid-Metabolism Connection: How Your Thyroid Function Impacts You Jun 12, 2024

Show notes

When your thyroid is out of whack, your body is out of whack.

This butterfly-shaped gland is the powerhouse that controls your metabolism, influencing everything from your energy levels, weight, and heart rate to your mood and body temperature.

An unbalanced thyroid can lead to a whole host of issues like fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and even depression.

And here's where it gets scary...

A dysfunctional thyroid can also put you at risk for something called metabolic syndrome - a dangerous cluster of symptoms that increases your chances of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.

But here's the good news: you have the power to take control of your thyroid health.

Preserving Longevity: Finding Fitness That Fits You Jun 04, 2024

Show notes

The truth is, most fitness advice isn't designed with the unique needs and challenges of mid-life and beyond in mind.

Have you ever felt like you're stuck in a rut, despite your best efforts?

Your body has its own alarm system, and it lets you know when something is wrong..

Together, we'll explore why traditional approaches often miss the mark, and reveal the key strategies for optimizing your health, energy, and vitality at any age.
