Can Ketones Reverse Alzheimer’s? What the Research Really Shows With Dr. Elizabeth Yurth

Are ketones just a diet trend, or could they be the game-changer in Alzheimer's treatment? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Elizabeth Yurth, co-founder and chief medical officer of Boulder Longevity Institute. Dr. Yurth has been a pioneer in regenerative medicine, and she shares insights on how ketones can support brain health, particularly for people with Alzheimer's and cognitive decline.We talk about the role of these powerful molecules in improving brain function and performance, and how, when used properly, ketones can help patients feel sharper and more functional, even despite cognitive decline. Plus, Dr. Yurth discusses her approach to dosing ketones for maximum effect, using them periodically throughout the day to maintain cognitive energy levels.If you're looking to understand how ketones can support brain health or are wondering if they can help with Alzheimer's, this episode provides a detailed, science-backed answer.“Ketones are not just a diet trend or a shortcut, but rather a human metabolic pathway. When used thoughtfully, exogenous ketones are going to completely support cellular energy, make your mitochondria efficient, and give you metabolic resistance.” ~ Dr. Elizabeth YurthIn this Episode02:15 - The role of ketones in metabolism and brain energy05:31 - The importance of mitochondria in energy production08:00 - Ketones and gut health10:46 - Common misconceptions about ketones15:50 - Ketones in Alzheimer’s treatment and mitochondrial efficiency29:58 - Dosing ketones: How much and when for optimal brain support43:20 - How soon can we see the positive effects of ketones?45:03 - New developments in brain health devices50:02 - Key takeaways and final thoughts on ketones for brain healthResources:- Top Supplements for Alzheimer's Guide - https://bit.ly/drjoshguide- Try Kenetik, Dr. Josh’s favorite ketones, for 25% off (limited time) - https://drinkkenetik.com/DRJOSH.
