And I talked about how high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, sedentary lifestyle, poor diet can all affect the brain by reducing blood flow to the brain, increasing inflammation, and affecting the natural rinsing that happens in the brain.

Back then,

there were very few people who said the same things.

And in fact, very of my colleagues were critical of me to say things like, hey, you can't prevent Alzheimer's disease.

In fact, I wanted to put the title prevention of Alzheimer's disease on a book as a subtitle, and that was too bold.

And we decided not to mention it because a lot of people were super critical of saying that you can prevent Alzheimer's disease.

Then I wrote several articles in peer review scientific journals, such as Nature.

I wrote two articles in Nature.

One about all the things that can shrink the brain.

And there are like 20 things.

There are literally 20 things that can shrink the brain.

And you know, these are many of the metabolic things we just talked about, like high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, insomnia,

sleep apnea, too much stress.

There's so many a thing.

And I talk about the biology of how these things affect the brain.

Another article about all the things that can reverse that, like how exercise can literally reverse that.

Good diet can reverse some of the effects of the poor diet.

In other words, your brain has a lot of malleability

and you can intervene at any age.

Again, I published those in very good journals, but still this was all hypothetical academic.
