Whenever Alzheimer’s disease hits, it usually means an inevitable decline in mental acuity and a loss of that person’s personality to the point that they’re no longer recognizable to the friends and family members who love them the most. For Dr. Mary Newport, she saw this pattern starting to hit her husband Steve just a few years back and the helpless feeling that comes from a lack of real answers to this serious disease in the medical community. That’s when she turned to researching Alzheimer’s on her own where she discovered the power of ketone bodies from consuming coconut oil and MCT oil on proper brain function. She shared about this extraordinary story in Episode 240 in case you missed it.
Now she’s back on the show in 2012 to give an update on Steve’s condition, to share about her new book on the subject entitled Alzheimer’s Disease: What If There Was a Cure? The Story Of Ketones and to share the latest information she has discovered about ketogenic diets in controlling Alzheimer’s disease. Listen in as Jimmy and Dr. Newport catch up on all that’s been happening in her quest to educate others about the power of ketones.

The amino acid l-lysine suppresses herpes. It is also a ketogenic amino acid that breaks down to ketones and not glucose.

So The Jimmer won’t reveal his menus because: (a) he realizes what a ridiculous, expensive, unsustainable way of eating this is for most people, or (b) he wants to see if it works and can then cash in on it in some way. Either answer ain’t good. Statement on Kruse yet, Jimmy?
It actually cost us less eating low carb/paleo. (a) as we are eating less, becase we are meeting our health needs and are satisfied. (b) we are healthier and less health cost. (c) no processed crap and eating whole foods, supporting our local growers/farmers.
I wonder why Carbsanity would even bother being here I would think there would be better things to do with your time, like fightening GMO producers or sharing and supporting your community in their health choices. It seems if you truly believed in what you are doing you would find better ways of supporting them in a positive way, instead of negative….we are what we reep.
I don’t understand how to eat 9 tablespoons of coconut oil a day. Do you just dig in as if it were ice cream?
