Can Gut Health Help Prevent Alzheimer’s? With Dr. Peter Kan

What if the key to reversing Alzheimer’s lies not just in the brain, but in the connection between your gut, immune system, and neurological health?In this episode, Dr. Peter Kan, a triple-board certified specialist in Integrative Medicine, Functional Medicine, and Chiropractic Neurology, joins me to discuss a crucial approach to treating brain health through the brain-immune-gut connection. Instead of just diagnosing and treating symptoms, Dr. Kan focuses on finding the root causes of neurological disorders, particularly Alzheimer’s and dementia, to implement proactive, personalized treatments.Dr. Kan shares how the right approach, through diet, lifestyle, and gut health, can slow or even reverse neurological decline. He also emphasizes the importance of early detection and the use of neuro-metabolic integration in treating cognitive disorders. His holistic philosophy encourages patients to take control of their brain health before it’s too late. Listen in for actionable insights that could change how you approach Alzheimer’s prevention.“I don't need to know your diagnosis to help you. I just need to know what you are presenting with, and what's driving those symptoms on a neurological or cellular level. And then we can start to do something to see if we can make a change.” ~ Dr. Peter KanIn this Episode01:39 - Limitations of traditional neurology vs. functional neurology09:05 - Dr. Kan's process for helping dementia patients16:18 - The brain-immune-gut connection and why it's critical for brain health22:27 - Personalized care and streamlining the course of treatment23:58 - Importance of neurotransmitter balance for brain function28:17 - The connection between blood sugar and brain health32:34 - Impact of nutrition and exercise on the brain40:19 - Neuroplasticity: the brain’s ability to heal with the right tools42:09 - Exploring vagus nerve stimulation for treating chronic conditions44:13 - Top three takeaways from the episodeResources:- Top Supplements for Alzheimer's Guide - https://bit.ly/drjoshguideConnect with Dr. Peter Kan: - Website - https://askdrkan.com/- YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@DrPeterKanConnect with Dr. Josh Helman, MD:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/greenbrainsMD- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/greenbrainsmd/- LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/doctorjosh-
