Dr Chalmers Path to Pro - Diabetes and Dementia

This episode dives into the link between diabetes and neurological conditions such as dementia and Alzheimer's. It explains how issues with insulin regulation in diabetes can lead to increased glucose levels in the cerebrospinal fluid, which over time damages brain function. The discussion highlights that the real problem lies in insulin management, not just blood sugar levels, and advocates for low glycemic diets and metabolic care to protect brain health.

The conversation also covers the harmful effects of inflammation, describing it as metabolic damage that can exacerbate conditions like arthritis and other inflammatory diseases. There is a critical look at how vaccines can induce systemic inflammation in infants, emphasizing the importance of proper nutrition, especially through breastfeeding, to support healthy brain, liver, and pancreatic development.
