Alzheimer\\u2019s disease seems to strike indiscriminately and those receiving the diagnosis have little reason for optimism. Conventional medicine offers medication that is designed to slow the pace of cognitive decline but seems to lack efficacy. For her new book, \\u201cThe Alzheimer\\u2019s Antidote,\\u201d certified nutrition specialist\\xa0Amy Berger has synthesized medical research to shed light on new options that offer relief and hope to those who suffer with Alzheimer\\u2019s and to their caregivers.

In today\\u2019s conversation, Amy reveals that impaired glucose metabolism and insulin signaling are at the root of the disease. This is why some call Alzheimer\\u2019s \\u201cType 3\\u201d diabetes. The brain is starving for fuel, in effect. Part of the solution includes giving the brain an alternate fuel source: ketones (which are found in coconut and MCT oils, for example).

This episode enumerates practical steps for those caring for loved ones with Alzheimer\\u2019s, those who hope to avoid the disease in the future, and even those who simply want to sharpen their own cognitive functions.
