Neurophysiologist Shares Top 3 Drivers of Alzheimer’s Disease, How To Reduce Your Risk of Cognitive Decline At Any Age, and How to Build a Super-Brain with Louisa Nicola (Rebroadcast)

So they have a higher risk of getting the disease. But the other 95% are getting diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease without having the mutations or the risk genes. So that begs the question of why. You could live your entire life and not get Alzheimer's. Correct. Even, you know, regardless of genes, by the way, regardless of not having the genes. I truly believe that.

I do believe at end of life, we are going to die of something. But Alzheimer's disease, is a preventable disease. So you can slow the progression if you've got mild cognitive impairment, or you can completely prevent it through precision medicine, lifestyle interventions.

And then you have to question why that is. Now, there was a really famous study, and I hope I don't butcher this study, but there was a famous study that was done in Nigeria, where they did find that there was a large population per capita that actually possessed the ApoE4 gene. The two alleles, you got one, some of them had, it was a high population that had two.

However, they didn't get the disease. Why is that? most likely is because of their lifestyle interventions, which are much different to those in the United States.

Yeah. So the omega-3 index test, which was formulated by Dr. Bill Harris, it's a great test. It measures the amount of omega-3s in a red blood cell. This is different from if you go to your PCP and ask for an omega-3 test. That is not the same. I would generally recommend getting, and it's a really simple test. It's just a pinprick test.

Oh, wow. See, there you go. You want a correct ratio, but you also want to be shooting. I don't know if you remember what your percentage was.

So what we know now is that most of the US population is around 4% or less, which is scary because you are increasing your mortality rate with an omega-3 index test of 4% or less. We want to be aiming for an omega-3 index score of 8% or more.
