Health Protocols
Alzheimer’s Support
Diet
- Decrease refined carbohydrates. Carbohydrates can cause swings in blood sugar and insulin that can lead to chronic inflammation. Inflammation has been closely linked to degeneration of the brain.
- Cut unhealthy fats such as fried foods, foods high in trans-fatty acids and saturated fats. A balance of healthy fats is essential for a healthy brain function.
- Eat many fruits and vegetables. Blueberries are especially protective.
Lifestyle
- Chronic stress can cause severe strain on the adrenal glands which can result in a condition called "adrenal exhaustion". Adrenal exhaustion may be at the base of many mood disorders that can worsen memory and brain function.
- Thyroid dysfunction can lead to memory decline. Thyroid function should be assessed and treated accordingly. See the protocol on thyroid imbalance .
- Full Spectrum Light Box exposure to normalize the sleep/wake cycle. Use of a light box in the morning may help to slow the progression of Alzheimers. In addition, the symptoms of Alzheimers can be decreased with regular exposure to full spectrum bright light. 30-45 minutes first thing in the morning is recommended.
- Limit exposure to aluminum and other heavy metals through water, antacids and deodorants. In addition, baking powders, aluminum foil and cooking in aluminum pans can add to aluminum load.
