This information superhighway that has so much to do with our emotions, how we feel, the expression of hormones and neurotransmitters, because there's an integration that takes place in our hypothalamus with our nervous system and our endocrine system, and our nervous system has to do with our feeling, our understanding, our sensing of the environment, our sensing pain and pleasure, and all those type of wonderful things. For example, we have a master gland sitting in our amazing brain called the hypothalamus, and it's the kind of the tip of the spear when we're talking about the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis. It is really a master controller of so much about us. Our brain health affects every single area of our lives. This is the fitness and nutrition expert Shawn Stevenson, and I'm so grateful for you tuning into me today. SHAWN STEVENSON: Welcome to The Model Health Show.
The best foods to eat for brain and metabolic health.Why systemic inflammation and neuroinflammation are connected.How consuming liquid sugar impacts the gut and metabolism.The benefits of using a continuous glucose monitor.The link between gut health and the immune system.Similarities between leaky gut and junctions in the blood-brain barrier.The connection between neuroinflammation and sleep quality.Different ways to achieve therapeutic ketosis.What we know about the metabolic components of Alzheimer’s disease.How the brain’s ability to process different energy sources changes as we age.How elevating ketones improves brain blood flow.The connection between Alzheimer’s disease and glucose metabolism in the brain.Specific biomarkers you should be monitoring for brain health.How metabolic health is tied to age-related neurodegenerative diseases.The percentage of Alzheimer’s disease diagnoses that are genetically driven.What the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis is.Dom is truly a wealth of knowledge, and I hope this episode empowers you to take control of your brain health so you can live your best life as you age. We’re diving into fascinating topics, including how the brain changes as we age, specific biomarkers to measure your overall health, and how indicators like sleep and gut health can impact your brain. You’re going to learn about the connection between brain health and metabolic health. In his research lab, the main focus is studying the neuroprotective effects of the ketogenic diet, and that’s what you’re going to learn about today. Dom’s impressive resume also includes working as a research investigator on NASA’s Extreme Environment Mission Operation. He is a tenured associate professor at the University of South Florida, a research scientist at the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, and the creator of the website, Keto Nutrition. Dominic D’Agostino, is an expert in neuroscience and neuropharmacology. Genetic predisposition only drives around 5% of cases, so the power is in our hands to implement healthy habits and prevention strategies to ward off neurodegeneration. Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease are becoming increasingly more common, but this growing epidemic is not a normal or inevitable part of aging. Brain health impacts every single area of our lives, including our quality of life as we age.
