STOP Dementia Before It Starts (31 Proven Tips)
In a Nutshell
Dementia prevention is possible for 40% of cases through aggressive lifestyle changes, especially lowering high luteinizing hormone with ashwagandha, magnesium, and zinc, plus raising testosterone. Key interventions include TUDCA and milk thistle for liver/brain protection, betaine HCl for stomach acid and B12 absorption, DHA, zinc, silica for aluminum removal, NAD boosters, and consistent exercise. Additional factors like avoiding air pollution, maintaining progesterone, using music/dance, treating depression with vitamin D3, and considering noble kava further reduce risk.

Dementia is not a single symptom or disease but a spectrum of brain dysfunctions including memory loss, language problems, personality changes, and difficulties with thinking and problem-solving. A high-carb diet is identified as a major driver behind dementia, along with deficiencies such as B12. It is stated that 40% of dementia can be prevented with lifestyle changes. The speaker questions why this percentage is not higher and emphasizes that individuals should actively and aggressively pursue prevention strategies.
Age is the biggest risk factor for dementia. As people age, luteinizing hormone levels rise significantly. This hormone, produced in the pituitary gland, signals the gonads to produce hormones, but with age-related decline in ovarian and testicular function, the feedback loop fails and luteinizing hormone levels become elevated. Three effective ways to lower luteinizing hormone are ashwagandha, magnesium, and zinc. Both women and men experience declining testosterone with age, and improving testosterone levels can protect the brain significantly.
Tudca is a synthetic version of bear bile. It crosses the blood-brain barrier and is used for stroke recovery. Tudca improves insulin sensitivity, reduces liver inflammation, decreases cirrhosis, and helps with fatty liver.
Milk thistle protects the liver against poisons including snake venom and mushroom toxins. It acts as a powerful antioxidant for nerves and the brain, helping decrease toxic plaque buildup associated with dementia. Advanced liver damage such as cirrhosis can impair cognitive function.
