So we've talked about toxins, nutrients, stressors
Structure also comes in micro and macro.
We talked about micro structure, the ApoE, our genetic risk.
That's something that we can look into and understand our risk.
And then the macrostructure level, this is like I think of it as just plumbing, right?
Can we get air through our airway at night, or do we have obstructive sleep apnea that's going to make us hypoxic, have low oxygen, and prevent our brain from getting enough oxygen at night?
It'll also prevent us from getting the deep sleep that we need to rinse the toxins out of our brain.
So, really, really important that we protect and optimize our sleep.
as we age, but really throughout our life, particularly if we have genetic risk for dementia.
So looking for sleep apnea and aggressively treating even mild sleep apnea, I think is very, very important.
Also understanding our cardiovascular risk, right?
If we don't get blood to the brain because of of calcium calcium score plaques, atherosclerotic plaques, then that because we have, you know, a stroke, obviously vascular issues can cause dementia.
So we need to optimize not just for brain health, but for cardiovascular health.
And then chronic pain is another piece of that micro structure, the way that a chiropractor or an orthopedist might think of it, right?
If your hip bone isn't connected to your leg bone and that that keeps you from sleeping because you're in pain or keeps you from exercising, that's going to have downstream effects.
So making sure that our our physical structure is optimized is really important.
So we've talked again about toxins, nutrients, stressors, structure.
Signaline is when we that microglial activation that I I I alluded to.
Microglia are the immune that's the immune system of our brain.
And if they are in attack and defend mode.
