In the last several videos, we’ve been talking about Dr. Bredesen’s first book, published in 2017, that had served as the first playbook for my dad: The End of Alzheimer’s: The First Program to Prevent and Reverse Cognitive Decline. We’ve specifically been talking about the ReCODE Protocol, which he details in the book.
ReCODE for Reversal of Cognitive Decline, which is a personalized protocol that addresses multiple factors contributing to someone’s cognitive issues, bringing them back to optimal ranges and helping patients reverse disease and symptoms. Dr. Bredesen’s team has helped hundreds of people reverse their cognitive decline, established mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s Disease with this protocol, as evidenced in successful studies in 2014, 2018, 2022 and current clinical trials.
In the last episode we talked about Dr. Bredesen’s Anti-Alzheimer’s Diet that is a core component of the protocol: Ketoflex 12/3.
Today, we’re getting into the second of the Big 4 core areas of the protocol: Exercise.
Although there are more modes of treatment within the protocol, like the ones we’ve discussed in past videos, Dr. Bredesen regards these Big 4 to be the most important because they often make the biggest difference in helping prevent and reverse Alzheimer’s and cognitive decline. He abbreviates these as: DESS.
Diet
Exercise
Sleep
And
Stress Reduction
One of the main reasons they all have such a profound effect on cognitive health is because they all greatly help prevent and reverse Insulin Resistance and promote Insulin Sensitivity when optimized.
Dr. Bredesen’s team has seen that regular exercise, when combined with Ketoflex 12/3, can really have a strong amplification effect on the rest of the protocol’s positive results within the body and brain.
As Dr. Bredesen says: “sitting is the new smoking!” More and more we are often leading our lives sitting at computers, sitting in class, sitting in movies, sitting in our cars, sitting in meetings, sitting on the couch watching television or scrolling on our phones. We are sitting ourselves to death!
Plenty of research studies over the years have shown not only how beneficial regular exercise is to our cognitive and physical (especially cardiovascular) health, but also how damaging sedentary lifestyles can be.
Sedentary lifestyles promote all chronic diseases. When we don’t move our body and promote circulation, we are going to stagnate, which isn’t conducive to optimal health or healing.
It’s only very recently we’ve, as a society, started sitting for so much of our day. We are meant to move our bodies. We feel better, healthier and stronger when we do it consistently. We’re happier and can show up as the best version of ourselves.
Hope this is helpful for you and your family. Thank you for watching!
