Alzheimer's isn’t inevitable—and it boils down to simple changes in your daily routine. David Perlmutter, MD, FACN advocates for an integrative treatment approach for Alzheimer's, combining mainstream medical interventions with lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise. He argues that this disease is a consequence of metabolic dysfunction and stresses the importance of addressing the root causes rather than just the symptoms. He also highlights its alarmingly disproportionate impact on women, underscoring the need for more focused research and treatment options.Dr. Perlmutter emphasizes the crucial role of physical activity in maintaining brain health, citing studies that demonstrate how exercise can increase brain volume and improve cognitive function. He then discusses the importance of dietary choices in managing blood sugar levels and preventing metabolic diseases, advocating for continuous glucose monitoring to tailor dietary habits to individual needs.
