Link to Dr Mary Newport's book : https://amzn.to/4bFVsYp 24 Million of people worldwide are living with Alzheimers disease, and as people live longer this number is only going to grow. In this episode we speak with author Dr Mary Newport whose own husband was diagnosed with Alzheimers at 54. She defines for us what this illness is and what the symptoms are. We hear how Dr Newport's own research led to her giving her husband coconut oil mixed with MCT or Medium chain triglyceride oil, which had a dramatic effect on her husbands condition. Discover why Alzheimers is referred to as type 3 diabetes, as we explore the relationship between glucose, insulin and the brain. We hear of the merits of a ketogenic diet, the work of the renowned Dr Richard Veech and the power of ketone esters to help improve brain function in patients showing cognitive decline. We also hear of the link between the herpes simplex virus and Alzheimers disease. https://coconutketones.com/ Dr Newport's book: https://shorturl.at/hloC0 Order Happy Habits for Mind and Body Audiobook: https://rb.gy/h5jjjg Order Kindle copy of Happy Habits for Mind and Body : https://rb.gy/jiojcc Order US paperback of Happy Habits for Mind and Body : https://rb.gy/sirste Order UK paperback of Happy Habits for Mind and Body : https://rb.gy/jtfea5 Listen to all previous podcast episodes of the Happy Habit Podcast via these podcast platforms : Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/happy-habit-podcast Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Happy-Habit-Podcast/dp/B08K5887J8 Amazon music : https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/670836c2-ea4c-4a23-a67d-a54dd804ef61/happy-habit-podcast Spotify https://https://open.spotify.com/show/2VKIhQK6mYTzLCO8haUoRd Google Podcasts : https://t.ly/hTU8q ----- Follow the Happy Habit Podcast at: Website: https://happyhabitpodcast.wordpress.com/Facebook: Twitter: https://twitter.com/mathieunorry Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/happyhabitpodcast/ Newsletter:
