Why Aren’t Aging Brains Using Energy Effectively?

Let’s talk about something called brain hypometabolism—
It’s when the brain doesn’t use energy efficiently, and this can set off a chain reaction:
⚡ Neurotransmitter imbalances
⚡ Oxidative stress
⚡ Inflammation

I’ve had the chance to speak directly with neuroscientists studying this, and what they’ve told me is eye-opening:

As we age, our brains often become less efficient at using glucose for fuel.
This isn’t just in people with diabetes—it’s something that shows up across the population as part of the aging process.

For some people, this becomes a real barrier to cognitive function and mental clarity.

That’s why strategies like ketogenic metabolic therapy are being explored as a potential rescue fuel for the brain.
