Intelligent Medicine Radio for July 18, Part 1: Preserving Brain Function
About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of diet on brain function, particularly for those with the ApoE4 gene, and covers various health topics including supplements and hormone therapy.
Diets rich in fruits and vegetables preserve brain function—but in vulnerable persons with the ApoE4 “Alzheimer’s gene”, more meat staves off decline, contradicting years of recommendations to minimize animal protein; Supplements for adrenal insufficiency; “Forever chemicals” may weaken teen’s bones—but menopausal hormone replacement therapy decisively fends off osteoporosis; Legionnaire's disease strikes poor and affluent alike in New York City; Doctors propose warning labels for GLP-1 drugs on account of this under-appreciated danger.
