So we've got this organ that uses 20% of our energy, and we've got 50% of Americans with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, which is fundamentally a metabolic issue. And of course, the brain's basically underpowered. It's not getting the energy it needs, and that's going to express itself as dementia. So it's been increasing exponentially.

in parallel with everything that's happening with our increasing diabetes rates. And then the early onset dementia and Alzheimer's disease, that has tripled since 2013. So younger people, and that makes sense, though. We've got 30% of teens now with prediabetes. That was like 0% in the past. You didn't have kids with the adult onset diabetes in the past.

And so you've got now 30% of teens with prediabetes. You've got You've got middle-aged people now, 50% with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. Of course, that's also creating an energetic deficit. So this neurometabolic, neuroenergetic theory of Alzheimer's, maybe with these cells crying out for help, maybe some of these plaques that we're seeing are actually a protective mechanism.

The brain actually laying down almost like protective shielding. It's a response to an underlying metabolic deficiency. issue as opposed to the problem itself. But of course, in our paradigm, we're like, we just got to get rid of that symptom of the problem.

When in fact, actually, if we could unencumber the brain to be able to make energy properly, make good energy properly, that's why our book is called Good Energy, they would actually be able to heal itself and to have the power to do its work, which is cognitive thinking. I was just going to say, an amazing book about Alzheimer's

That just hasn't gotten as much attention as I think it should, as Dale Bredesen's book, The End of Alzheimer's, because he talks about when you really look at the research, there are about 36 different biomarkers and factors. I think he calls them like the 36 holes in the roof of what creates like if it's raining and you plug one hole, your house is still going to be filled with water.

You have to plug all 36 holes to prevent or reverse infection. alzheimer's disease and of course all these are related in some way to metabolic health but it's things like your vitamin d levels your insulin levels um the amount of uh you know movement you're getting vitamin d insulin b12 other things like that these these things that we know are part and parcel with metabolic health so
