from Blasphemous Nutrition · host Aimee Gallo
Ozempic and Alzheimer's disease: could the world's most talked-about weight loss drug also protect your brain?In this episode of Blasphemous Nutrition we follow one of the most compelling and complicated questions in brain health and cognitive decline today. Aimee breaks down the hypothesis that Alzheimer's disease may be a metabolic brain disorder, explores the groundbreaking real-world data that launched two massive GLP-1 clinical trials, and walks through what happened when those trials delivered their verdict.We also dig into the work of neurologist Dr. Dale Bredesen, whose ReCODE protocol research suggests Alzheimer's isn't one disease at all, but rather distinct subtypes including inflammatory, glycotoxic, toxic, and vascular Alzheimer's, and how this changes everything about prevention and treatment.Whether you're interested in GLP-1 receptor agonists, dementia prevention, metabolic health, or simply understanding your brain as you age, this episode connects the dots.The science is messy. The stakes are high. And the story isn't over.Other Brain Health Episodes:Nutrition and Your Brain: Part 1 - Diet and Mental HealthNutrition and Your Brain: Part 2 - What to Eat to Ease Depression and AnxietyNutrition and Your Brain: Part 3 - Preventing Dementia and Alzheimer’sProtecting Your Brain Means Protecting Your Heart - Here’s What You Need for Both!
