Alzheimer's

Alzheimer's is often presented as a mysterious late-life disease, but the strongest prevention signals start decades earlier. Insulin resistance, inflammation, vascular health, sleep quality, toxin burden, nutrient status, and stress biology all shape how the brain ages. This chapter reframes cognitive decline as a whole-body metabolic and inflammatory process - one with more intervention points than most people realise.

6 takeaways from this chapter.

• Why Alzheimer's is sometimes described as type 3 diabetes
• How insulin resistance, inflammation, and vascular dysfunction affect memory and cognition
• The role of sleep, glymphatic clearance, exercise, and resistance training in brain ageing
• Nutrients and deficiencies linked to cognitive decline and neurological resilience
• Why early prevention matters long before a diagnosis appears
• Where nootropic and regulatory peptides may fit in a broader brain-health strategy

Anyone with a family history of dementia or early concerns about memory, focus, or cognitive ageing. It is also for people who want a prevention-first framework instead of waiting until symptoms become impossible to ignore.
