    1. We’ve known for quite some time that the so-called Alzheimer’s drugs don’t work. A recent study by the Journal of the American Medical Association found that not only do Alzheimer's drugs not work, they're actually associated with a more rapid cognitive decline.
    2. Research from the Mayo Clinic showed that people who followed a diet lower in fat and higher in carbs had about an 83% increased risk of dementia in contrast to those who followed a higher fat diet, whose risk was reduced by 46%. You don't need to buy anything, you just have to change what you're eating!
    3. The size of the human brain continued to increase until about 12,000 years ago, which was around the time of the development of agriculture. Since then, our brains have shrunk by about 10%.

    Main Points From Today’s Episode

    1. The "Super Seven Genes" from Dr. Ben's book are vitally important to your overall health. If just one of the Super Seven Genes is acting "dirty," you can have a myriad of symptoms, including weight loss resistance.
    2. Factors that can impact your genes include nutrient deficiencies, stress, infection, inflammation, lack of sleep, and exposure to toxins. Dr. Ben’s book helps you identify which of your genes are dirty so you can clean them up and feel better again.
    3. If your mitochondria are dirty, you won’t be able to burn fat efficiently. Adding in glutathione, the master antioxidant, can help your mitochondria function better so they can start burning fat again.
