>>John Bradshaw:
This is It Is Written.
00:00:19.71\00:00:21.18
I'm John Bradshaw.
Thanks for joining me.
00:00:21.22\00:00:23.35
My guest today is
Dr. Wes Youngberg.
00:00:23.39\00:00:25.19
I've spoken with him before.
00:00:25.22\00:00:26.82
He's written a
book, a fascinating book,
00:00:26.86\00:00:28.79
I think a life-changing
book, called "Memory Makeover,"
00:00:28.82\00:00:32.39
dealing with Alzheimer's,
how to prevent Alzheimer's,
00:00:32.43\00:00:36.03
and how even to
reverse cognitive decline.
00:00:36.06\00:00:38.70
Very exciting in an age where
the incidence of Alzheimer's
00:00:38.73\00:00:42.20
seems to be, in
fact, it is exploding.
00:00:42.24\00:00:44.91
Dr. Youngberg,
thanks for joining me.
00:00:44.94\00:00:46.57
>>Dr. Wes Youngberg:
Good to be here, John.
00:00:46.61\00:00:47.78
>>John: Now, tell me a little
bit about your background,
00:00:47.81\00:00:49.38
what you do, and,
and where you do it.
00:00:49.41\00:00:51.75
>>Dr. Youngberg: Well, I
had the privilege to study
00:00:51.78\00:00:53.11
at the school of public health
00:00:53.15\00:00:54.32
and get a doctorate in lifestyle
medicine back in the '80s,
00:00:54.35\00:00:58.02
and, uh, and also did a
master's degree in nutrition.
00:00:58.05\00:01:01.96
So I've been
involved in lifestyle medicine
00:01:01.99\00:01:03.83
and clinical nutrition
for about 30 years now,
00:01:03.86\00:01:06.83
and I even had the opportunity
to be a medical missionary
00:01:06.86\00:01:09.83
in Guam for 14
years, where I learned a lot
00:01:09.86\00:01:12.80
about how to
reverse type 2 diabetes.
00:01:12.83\00:01:17.14
Now, what's interesting,
John, is that, uh, even of,
00:01:17.17\00:01:20.88
even some years ago,
researchers at Brown University
00:01:20.91\00:01:24.28
and other universities
were discovering that people
00:01:24.31\00:01:27.35
with Alzheimer's actually had
a form of diabetes in the brain.
00:01:27.38\00:01:32.49
And they refer to it
now as type 3 diabetes,
00:01:32.52\00:01:35.99
or insulin
resistance of the brain,
00:01:36.02\00:01:38.66
or literally,
diabetes of the brain.
00:01:38.69\00:01:41.36
That's what Alzheimer's is.
00:01:41.40\00:01:42.63
>>John: That kind of helps us
focus in on a little bit more,
00:01:42.66\00:01:45.10
uh, a little more
about what this is.
00:01:45.13\00:01:46.94
Now, I think what many
people are...surprised to learn
00:01:46.97\00:01:51.34
is that Alzheimer's is a,
a lifestyle-related illness.
00:01:51.37\00:01:55.41
>>Dr. Youngberg: Absolutely.
00:01:55.44\00:01:56.54
>>John: Meaning what?
00:01:56.58\00:01:57.78
>>Dr. Youngberg: Meaning
that if we learn about lifestyle
00:01:57.81\00:02:01.02
and what our
unique risk factors are,
00:02:01.05\00:02:03.39
we have the potential, John,
to actually reverse aspects
00:02:03.42\00:02:07.06
of that cognitive
decline. That's very exciting.
00:02:07.09\00:02:09.09
>>John: You've seen that happen.
00:02:09.12\00:02:10.23
In your practice, you've
seen people start to reverse
00:02:10.26\00:02:12.23
cognitive decline.
00:02:12.26\00:02:13.36
>>Dr. Youngberg: I've seen
it happen many, many times.
00:02:13.40\00:02:14.83
>>John: Okay,
well, let's talk about
00:02:14.86\00:02:17.60
reversing
Alzheimer's, reversing--
00:02:17.63\00:02:19.57
>>Dr. Youngberg:
Reversing cognitive decline.
00:02:19.60\00:02:20.70
>>John: ...cognitive
decline. That's right.
00:02:20.74\00:02:22.34
We want to chip away at this and
see if somebody can grab ahold
00:02:22.37\00:02:25.54
of something that will
give hope and improvement.
00:02:25.57\00:02:29.41
Now, when we talk
about improvement,
00:02:29.44\00:02:31.81
are we really
expecting that grandma,
00:02:31.85\00:02:33.85
who right now can't
remember anybody's name,
00:02:33.88\00:02:36.38
is soon gonna be
remembering her grocery list?
00:02:36.42\00:02:38.82
[Dr. Youngberg chuckles]
Are we talking about that?
00:02:38.85\00:02:40.82
Or what are we
really talking about?
00:02:40.86\00:02:42.79
>>Dr. Youngberg: We're talking
about improving cognition
00:02:42.82\00:02:45.39
at some level with almost
everybody who pays attention
00:02:45.43\00:02:49.46
to the risk factors.
00:02:49.50\00:02:50.67
>>John: Okay. An improvement
of any kind would be welcome.
00:02:50.70\00:02:55.00
How do we go about that?
00:02:55.04\00:02:56.54
>>Dr. Youngberg: Okay,
so, the, the first test is,
00:02:56.57\00:02:59.21
the first key is understanding
what the primary drivers are
00:02:59.24\00:03:04.88
of dementia, and
primarily of Alzheimer's,
00:03:04.91\00:03:07.22
or impaired cognitive function.
00:03:07.25\00:03:09.58
And we know from
a lot of research
00:03:09.62\00:03:12.45
that that insulin
resistance of the brain,
00:03:12.49\00:03:15.52
or this metabolic
syndrome, where, where the brain
00:03:15.56\00:03:19.86
is not getting sugar
at a, in a stable way,
00:03:19.89\00:03:23.13
where high insulin
levels are being produced
00:03:23.16\00:03:26.50
that rob the brain of
being able to detoxify
00:03:26.53\00:03:30.44
the beta amyloid
plaques properly,
00:03:30.47\00:03:32.91
and so if we
stabilize blood sugars
00:03:32.94\00:03:36.21
and stabilize insulin
production by the pancreas
00:03:36.24\00:03:38.98
so it's not too high or too low,
00:03:39.01\00:03:41.18
that actually dramatically
alters the progression
00:03:41.22\00:03:45.92
of cognitive decline,
and if we do it right,
00:03:45.95\00:03:49.92
it actually helps set the
stage for beginning to reverse
00:03:49.96\00:03:53.83
cognitive decline.
00:03:53.86\00:03:54.93
Because, you see, John,
the brain literally produces
00:03:54.93\00:03:59.17
roughly a thousand new
cells, neurons, every day.
00:03:59.20\00:04:04.57
And that's called the
process of neurogenesis.
00:04:04.61\00:04:07.81
And so, if we're able to do
things that keep those cells
00:04:07.84\00:04:11.41
alive, rather than doing those
things that destroy those cells
00:04:11.45\00:04:15.72
before they can work for us
00:04:15.75\00:04:17.22
and help us with
our memory challenges,
00:04:17.25\00:04:19.35
then we're gonna
be on the right track.
00:04:19.39\00:04:20.72
>>John: So how do we, how do
we get about doing this business
00:04:20.76\00:04:22.82
with the, with,
uh, insulin production?
00:04:22.86\00:04:24.79
>>Dr. Youngberg:
Okay, so the first step,
00:04:24.83\00:04:26.59
there, there is a, a
well-known, uh, PET scan,
00:04:26.63\00:04:29.96
this is a fluorodeoxyglucose
PET scan, that measures
00:04:30.00\00:04:34.00
whether or not your
brain is getting the glucose,
00:04:34.04\00:04:36.40
the blood sugar.
00:04:36.44\00:04:37.61
Uh, this is a very
specialized radiologic test,
00:04:37.64\00:04:40.54
unfortunately costs
thousands of dollars to do,
00:04:40.58\00:04:42.84
and Medicare, as of
yet, has not approved it
00:04:42.88\00:04:45.71
for the average patient who
is concerned about this process.
00:04:45.75\00:04:48.75
And so, in my opinion,
the very best test to assess
00:04:48.78\00:04:52.49
whether you have
insulin resistance
00:04:52.52\00:04:54.56
is to do a
glucose tolerance test,
00:04:54.59\00:04:57.03
where you
actually go into the lab--
00:04:57.06\00:04:58.89
and your doctor
can order this lab--
00:04:58.93\00:05:01.00
any lab in the, in
the world can do this test
00:05:01.03\00:05:04.00
where, where you do a fasting
test to measure your insulin
00:05:04.03\00:05:07.04
and your glucose.
00:05:07.07\00:05:08.27
And then they give
you 75 grams of glucose.
00:05:08.30\00:05:10.94
It's a standard test that
any pregnant woman would get
00:05:10.97\00:05:13.81
to make sure she doesn't
have diabetes during pregnancy.
00:05:13.84\00:05:16.51
It's a standard test
that can be done anywhere.
00:05:16.54\00:05:18.98
And then, after
that sugar drink,
00:05:19.01\00:05:20.62
they check the blood sugars
for either two to four hours.
00:05:20.65\00:05:23.82
I prefer the four-hour test.
00:05:23.85\00:05:25.65
Uh, and then we
measure insulin levels
00:05:25.69\00:05:27.56
along that same course of time.
00:05:27.59\00:05:29.66
And so, as the, if
the sugars shoot up,
00:05:29.69\00:05:32.06
after that sugar drink,
00:05:32.09\00:05:34.20
in the blood, that means that
there is an insulin resistance.
00:05:34.20\00:05:37.87
And that's related to
heart disease, cancer risk,
00:05:37.90\00:05:40.90
autoimmune risk, uh,
all kind--hypertension.
00:05:40.94\00:05:44.57
It is also a dramatic
factor related to Alzheimer's.
00:05:44.61\00:05:48.51
So we can track risk
by evaluating that test.
00:05:48.54\00:05:52.71
We can track how high
the insulin is produced
00:05:52.75\00:05:55.78
to evaluate risk, and whether
the blood sugar drops too low
00:05:55.82\00:05:58.95
later in the
third or fourth hour.
00:05:58.99\00:06:01.19
So that becomes,
in, in my practice,
00:06:01.22\00:06:03.89
the, the state-of-the-art
evaluation to see if somebody
00:06:03.93\00:06:07.96
is at risk for the most common
trigger of cognitive decline
00:06:08.00\00:06:13.20
in Alzheimer's.
00:06:13.23\00:06:14.17
>>John: And, okay,
if somebody is at risk,
00:06:14.20\00:06:15.54
then this is the sort of
thing that can be addressed?
00:06:15.57\00:06:17.67
We can work with
that pretty easily?
00:06:17.71\00:06:19.51
>>Dr. Youngberg: Absolutely.
And, and what's interesting,
00:06:19.54\00:06:21.74
John, is that most people
who have that test done, uh,
00:06:21.78\00:06:25.91
recognize that
there's a problem.
00:06:25.95\00:06:28.45
They actually, most
people have some level
00:06:28.48\00:06:30.49
of insulin resistance.
00:06:30.52\00:06:31.45
They may have never
heard of this before,
00:06:31.49\00:06:33.52
but most of us do, especially
those of us that are not already
00:06:33.56\00:06:37.76
following the fundamental
strategies that we talked about
00:06:37.79\00:06:40.90
in the last program,
and which is the exercise
00:06:40.93\00:06:43.77
and the proper
diet and the sleep.
00:06:43.80\00:06:45.67
Just one night of, of
not getting enough sleep
00:06:45.70\00:06:48.47
makes you more insulin
resistance the next morning,
00:06:48.50\00:06:50.84
makes your blood
sugars go higher,
00:06:50.87\00:06:52.34
and makes your
pancreas, forces your pancreas
00:06:52.37\00:06:54.88
to produce a lot
of extra insulin,
00:06:54.91\00:06:56.95
which then throws you into a
roller coaster of blood sugars,
00:06:56.98\00:07:00.78
causing cravings and,
and mood swings and so forth.
00:07:00.82\00:07:04.02
>>John: Mm. Mm-mm-mm.
00:07:04.05\00:07:05.75
Okay, and too
many of us are saying,
00:07:05.79\00:07:07.09
"Okay, uh, familiar with
that." [Dr. Youngberg laughs]
00:07:07.12\00:07:09.76
What else can we do
now to bend this thing
00:07:09.79\00:07:12.23
back in the right direction?
00:07:12.26\00:07:13.80
If we are at risk, or
even if there are people
00:07:13.83\00:07:16.20
dealing with
cognitive decline, what else?
00:07:16.23\00:07:18.23
We spoke about
insulin resistance.
00:07:18.27\00:07:20.20
There must be numerous things.
00:07:20.24\00:07:21.40
>>Dr. Youngberg: Yeah.
There's, uh, basically anything
00:07:21.44\00:07:23.81
that's good for the heart
is gonna be good for the brain.
00:07:23.84\00:07:26.71
Okay, so one of the
principles here, John,
00:07:26.74\00:07:28.58
is that we need to make
sure that we're really taking
00:07:28.61\00:07:32.15
advantage of everything
our friendly cardiologists
00:07:32.18\00:07:35.12
have told us about
taking care of our heart:
00:07:35.15\00:07:37.39
uh, eating a diet that's
optimal for heart health,
00:07:37.42\00:07:40.22
for blood pressure, for
blood sugars, and reversing
00:07:40.26\00:07:43.86
the type 2 diabetes or the
prediabetes that we might have.
00:07:43.89\00:07:47.13
We know that most people
can reverse those conditions.
00:07:47.13\00:07:50.53
Fifteen years ago that
was, that was considered to be,
00:07:50.57\00:07:53.90
uh, questionable whether
you should even say that.
00:07:53.94\00:07:56.60
Now we have plenty of
data, plenty of research showing
00:07:56.64\00:08:00.11
that type 2
diabetes is reversible.
00:08:00.14\00:08:02.28
Right now, we're at the
crossroads of recognizing
00:08:02.31\00:08:05.88
that not only is 90 percent
of Alzheimer's preventable,
00:08:05.91\00:08:10.05
but much of the cognitive
decline and the dysfunction
00:08:10.09\00:08:14.12
in Alzheimer's is actually
reversible if we pay attention
00:08:14.16\00:08:18.03
to these strategies, including
additional tests that look,
00:08:18.06\00:08:22.46
that are cardiovascular tests,
00:08:22.50\00:08:24.17
like, for instance, the
blood test homocysteine.
00:08:24.20\00:08:26.84
Elevated levels of this
amino acid in the, in the body,
00:08:26.87\00:08:30.64
uh, become neurotoxic.
00:08:30.67\00:08:32.34
And so, naturally, if
high homocysteine destroys
00:08:32.37\00:08:35.71
hippocampal brain
cells, we don't want that.
00:08:35.74\00:08:38.28
And so there are natural
strategies that we can use
00:08:38.31\00:08:41.98
with our doctors to lower the
homocysteine amino acid proteins
00:08:42.02\00:08:47.22
to a healthy range so
that they're not causing this,
00:08:47.26\00:08:51.19
this, this, uh, destruction of,
of the hippocampal brain cells,
00:08:51.23\00:08:55.60
preventing
neurogenesis from taking place.
00:08:55.63\00:08:57.80
>>John: I think what a
lot of people are going to be
00:08:57.83\00:08:59.00
surprised about it there,
that it is, that there is hope.
00:08:59.03\00:09:01.74
>>Dr. Youngberg: Absolutely.
00:09:01.77\00:09:02.90
>>John: This can be dialed
back, and the future can be
00:09:02.94\00:09:05.07
a whole lot brighter than you
might have otherwise thought.
00:09:05.11\00:09:07.74
I'll be back with more with Dr.
Wes Youngberg in just a moment.
00:09:07.78\00:09:10.91
¤[music]¤
00:09:10.95\00:09:17.95
>>Dr. Youngberg:
Hello, I'm Dr. Wes Youngberg,
00:09:20.19\00:09:21.72
and I've just written a
book called "Memory Makeover:
00:09:21.76\00:09:23.96
How to Prevent Alzheimer's
and Reverse Cognitive Decline."
00:09:23.99\00:09:28.40
This book is in story form.
00:09:28.43\00:09:30.13
It's case studies of individuals
that I have worked with
00:09:30.17\00:09:32.60
and my colleagues have worked
with where they've actually
00:09:32.63\00:09:34.90
been able to stop
cognitive decline,
00:09:34.94\00:09:38.17
and 80 percent of the time have
been able to reverse aspects
00:09:38.21\00:09:42.31
of cognitive decline.
00:09:42.34\00:09:43.81
If you want to
know more about that,
00:09:43.85\00:09:45.28
get the book "Memory Makeover."
00:09:45.31\00:09:48.45
>>John Bradshaw:
Thanks for joining me today
00:09:50.19\00:09:51.49
on It Is Written.
00:09:51.52\00:09:52.55
I'm John Bradshaw. My
guest is Dr. Wes Youngberg.
00:09:52.59\00:09:55.89
Dr. Youngberg, in your
book, "Memory Makeover,"
00:09:55.92\00:09:58.59
where you talk about
preventing Alzheimer's
00:09:58.63\00:10:00.76
and reversing cognitive decline,
00:10:00.80\00:10:02.80
you devote quite a lot of space
to the case of John and Mary.
00:10:02.83\00:10:07.00
And it's a remarkable story.
00:10:07.04\00:10:09.67
Tell me about them.
00:10:09.70\00:10:10.84
>>Dr. Wes Youngberg: I,
I first met John and Mary,
00:10:10.87\00:10:12.64
not their real names, uh,
about, about four years ago
00:10:12.67\00:10:16.41
when I was invited to that city
00:10:16.44\00:10:18.85
to do a
workshop for the hospital
00:10:18.88\00:10:21.38
on helping physicians
learn how to reverse diabetes.
00:10:21.42\00:10:24.85
And, and it just so
happened that John and Mary
00:10:24.89\00:10:27.32
were attending a, a
"Diabetes Undone" series
00:10:27.36\00:10:31.09
at their local church.
00:10:31.13\00:10:32.83
And so I was
invited to present there,
00:10:32.86\00:10:35.60
and, and that's when I
first met John and Mary.
00:10:35.63\00:10:39.07
And he was concerned
about her blood sugar.
00:10:39.10\00:10:41.04
She had already been diagnosed
with, with advanced Alzheimer's.
00:10:41.07\00:10:44.11
>>John: Mmm.
00:10:44.14\00:10:45.31
>>Dr. Youngberg: And so he
asked me at that time, he said,
00:10:45.34\00:10:46.88
"Well, is there, is
there anything that can be done
00:10:46.91\00:10:49.44
for Alzheimer's?"
00:10:49.48\00:10:50.51
And so, at the time, I,
I said to him, "Well, yes,
00:10:50.55\00:10:53.38
"they're, we're learning some
new things on how this relates
00:10:53.42\00:10:56.28
to type 2 diabetes."
00:10:56.32\00:10:58.19
Well, they got busy with
their lives, as we all do,
00:10:58.22\00:11:02.12
and four years go by.
00:11:02.16\00:11:04.26
So she's now had advanced
Alzheimer's for four years.
00:11:04.29\00:11:06.93
She's seeing a
really good neurologist,
00:11:06.96\00:11:09.26
and, and so he, he asks
this neurologist one day, says,
00:11:09.30\00:11:12.93
"Is there anything
else that we can do?"
00:11:12.97\00:11:15.67
And so the neurologist, not
wanting to give false hopes,
00:11:15.70\00:11:19.11
but, but wanting to encourage
them to do whatever was rational
00:11:19.14\00:11:22.81
and reasonable, said, "Well,
why don't you start working
00:11:22.84\00:11:26.11
"on a more
comprehensive and aggressive
00:11:26.15\00:11:28.08
lifestyle medicine program?"
00:11:28.12\00:11:29.28
As we've been discussing so far.
00:11:29.32\00:11:31.12
>>John: Yeah.
00:11:31.15\00:11:32.22
>>Dr. Youngberg: And so,
so, uh, John was encouraged
00:11:32.25\00:11:34.22
by the neurologist to actually
give me a call and set up
00:11:34.26\00:11:36.52
a series of phone consultations.
00:11:36.56\00:11:38.36
Well, uh, initially I was
very careful to caution John,
00:11:38.39\00:11:44.53
um, not to expect, you
know, something dramatic,
00:11:44.57\00:11:48.87
but, but to have hope that
we could do things that could,
00:11:48.90\00:11:52.41
number one, slow
that decline further,
00:11:52.44\00:11:55.51
because he was
already having problems
00:11:55.54\00:11:57.41
with even understanding her.
00:11:57.45\00:11:58.91
She would try to
communicate with him
00:11:58.95\00:12:00.95
and, "Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh,"
she would talk like that.
00:12:00.98\00:12:04.02
>>John: This is
quite a way along?
00:12:04.05\00:12:05.25
>>Dr. Youngberg:
Literally, she has advanced,
00:12:05.29\00:12:06.79
more severe Alzheimer's.
00:12:06.82\00:12:07.79
>>John: Oh yeah.
00:12:07.82\00:12:08.76
>>Dr. Youngberg: And
so his doctor had said,
00:12:08.79\00:12:09.82
"Basically we're
at a crossroads here.
00:12:09.86\00:12:12.16
"You, you really need
to get her into a home,
00:12:12.19\00:12:15.20
"because otherwise
you're going to burn out,
00:12:15.23\00:12:17.63
"and, and, and if you burn out,
what's going to happen to her?
00:12:17.67\00:12:21.10
"Right? So at
least if she's in a home,
00:12:21.14\00:12:22.60
"you can go and visit
her and spend time with her,
00:12:22.64\00:12:24.61
but then get your rest."
00:12:24.64\00:12:25.87
'Cause he was 24/7 with
her. It was really rough.
00:12:25.91\00:12:28.41
She was having
horrible sundowning syndrome.
00:12:28.44\00:12:31.11
Anybody who
understands Alzheimer's knows
00:12:31.15\00:12:33.48
that that's a
horrible experience.
00:12:33.52\00:12:35.38
It happens around sundown; that
can last for three to four hours
00:12:35.42\00:12:38.82
where they are, they're
confused, they're agitated,
00:12:38.85\00:12:41.49
they're hostile, they're--it,
it's just a horrible experience
00:12:41.52\00:12:44.63
with a loved one
to, to go through that.
00:12:44.66\00:12:47.13
Well, so this had been going
on now for about three years.
00:12:47.13\00:12:50.77
And, and so,
when they started, uh,
00:12:50.80\00:12:54.27
uh, a comprehensive
lifestyle medicine program,
00:12:54.30\00:12:57.01
where he didn't
just ask his wife, John,
00:12:57.04\00:12:59.07
"You want to go
exercising, honey?"
00:12:59.11\00:13:00.58
'Cause he knew she would say no.
00:13:00.61\00:13:02.08
She would become
belligerent. >>John: Right.
00:13:02.11\00:13:03.81
>>Dr. Youngberg: "Uh, no!"
00:13:03.85\00:13:04.75
You know, she
wouldn't get off the couch.
00:13:04.78\00:13:06.61
But if he said to her, "Honey,
would you like to go shopping?"
00:13:06.65\00:13:10.79
she would brighten up, you know.
00:13:10.82\00:13:13.46
And, and even though she
couldn't communicate very well--
00:13:13.49\00:13:16.06
she didn't, she didn't know
some of the family members--
00:13:16.09\00:13:18.83
she wanted to go shopping.
00:13:18.86\00:13:20.26
So she started looking for
her purse, she'd grab her purse,
00:13:20.30\00:13:22.70
and John would
take her to the mall,
00:13:22.73\00:13:24.87
and they'd walk to the
end of the mall and back,
00:13:24.90\00:13:27.27
and back again.
00:13:27.30\00:13:28.47
They'd get half an hour of
exercise in going to the mall.
00:13:28.50\00:13:30.94
Then they'd go
to the grocery store
00:13:30.97\00:13:32.34
and walk about the
perimeter of the grocery store.
00:13:32.37\00:13:34.34
She would grab donuts and
grab sodas and all the things
00:13:34.38\00:13:37.41
that she loved,
'cause she was a sugarholic.
00:13:37.45\00:13:39.55
And he, she would get
her exercise grabbing them,
00:13:39.58\00:13:41.82
and he would get his
exercise putting them back.
00:13:41.85\00:13:43.32
>>John: Putting them back.
00:13:43.35\00:13:44.32
>>Dr. Youngberg:
Okay, and so he made sure--
00:13:44.35\00:13:46.49
you see, at that
stage you're dealing with
00:13:46.52\00:13:48.16
essentially a
toddler's mentality.
00:13:48.19\00:13:50.23
You can't say,
"Well, they want it,
00:13:50.26\00:13:51.76
so I should just give it
to them. They're an adult."
00:13:51.79\00:13:53.66
You can't give them to
them, dementogenic foods;
00:13:53.70\00:13:56.46
they're never gonna get better.
00:13:56.50\00:13:57.80
So, so, he made, he found
a way to get her to exercise.
00:13:57.83\00:14:00.47
He found a way to get
her to eat the right foods.
00:14:00.50\00:14:02.64
We did all the rational
things that were available
00:14:02.67\00:14:05.44
in the medical literature,
which was a lot of things.
00:14:05.47\00:14:07.71
We did all the right tests and
treated every single risk factor
00:14:07.74\00:14:11.88
optimally--not just, not
just the normal, but optimal.
00:14:11.91\00:14:15.75
In six weeks, her sundowning
syndrome started going away
00:14:15.78\00:14:19.72
dramatically.
00:14:19.75\00:14:20.96
Can you imagine
spending three hours every night
00:14:20.99\00:14:23.93
trying to get your spouse to
calm down and not to go outside
00:14:23.96\00:14:26.83
after packing all her
bags and wanting to go see mom,
00:14:26.86\00:14:29.60
who has been dead for 30 years?
00:14:29.63\00:14:32.00
Every night for three hours.
00:14:32.03\00:14:33.77
Okay, and then the, the
next morning have to take
00:14:33.80\00:14:36.00
all the, all the
clothes back and put them
00:14:36.04\00:14:38.11
in the, in the drawers?
00:14:38.14\00:14:39.41
That'll happen
every day for years.
00:14:39.44\00:14:41.14
>>John: A lot of
people are dealing with this.
00:14:41.18\00:14:42.34
>>Dr. Youngberg: That
was gone in two months.
00:14:42.38\00:14:43.68
Now, I'm not saying everybody
who has a spouse with that,
00:14:43.71\00:14:46.01
with, uh, with
sundowning syndrome
00:14:46.05\00:14:47.98
is going to cure
that in two months.
00:14:48.02\00:14:49.18
That, this was the
case in, in this situation.
00:14:49.22\00:14:52.59
And, and she had
not been able to--
00:14:52.62\00:14:55.72
to make a long story
short, she had not been able to,
00:14:55.76\00:14:59.59
uh, recognize her
sister for over three years.
00:14:59.63\00:15:04.10
So just about 12
months into the process--
00:15:04.13\00:15:07.60
actually 11 months,
this is just recently--
00:15:07.64\00:15:10.41
uh, they traveled to
a city three hours away,
00:15:10.44\00:15:14.71
where her sister lived, and for
the first time in three years,
00:15:14.74\00:15:20.22
when she got out of the
car, she recognized her sister.
00:15:20.25\00:15:23.49
She walked up to her and
hugged her, called her by name,
00:15:23.52\00:15:26.82
and sat down in the living room,
00:15:26.86\00:15:29.16
talking with her sister as
sisters should be able to do,
00:15:29.19\00:15:33.19
remembering how
they grew up together.
00:15:33.23\00:15:35.80
And this is something that
she had not been able to do
00:15:35.83\00:15:37.73
for three years.
00:15:37.77\00:15:38.77
And so, she still has,
technically, Alzheimer's,
00:15:38.80\00:15:42.30
but it is a form of Alzheimer's
which is so much more functional
00:15:42.34\00:15:45.87
than it was for that period
of time, that John told me,
00:15:45.91\00:15:49.68
he said, "I feel like I
have my wife back again.
00:15:49.71\00:15:52.65
"In fact, she even
laughs at my jokes now.
00:15:52.68\00:15:56.55
"She knows the time
when she looks at the clock.
00:15:56.58\00:15:58.92
"She knows where we
are as we're driving,
00:15:58.95\00:16:00.96
and she corrects
me if I miss a turn."
00:16:00.99\00:16:03.22
Previously she had
been unable to do that.
00:16:03.26\00:16:05.49
And so there is hope,
even for people who have
00:16:05.53\00:16:09.20
advanced Alzheimer's, if
you have a health partner,
00:16:09.23\00:16:13.03
a spouse, who's willing to
put the effort into it now,
00:16:13.07\00:16:16.67
to prevent that further decline
00:16:16.71\00:16:18.71
and to begin
that reversal process.
00:16:18.74\00:16:21.11
It's exciting to see what
John was able to do for Mary.
00:16:21.14\00:16:25.11
And that's why in the
book I call it a love story.
00:16:25.15\00:16:28.28
>>John: "Memory
Makeover" is the book.
00:16:28.32\00:16:30.29
And the good
news is there is hope,
00:16:30.32\00:16:32.99
and lots of it, for somebody
battling cognitive decline.
00:16:33.02\00:16:36.49
We'll be back with
more in just a moment.

00:16:39.36\00:16:46.33
>>Dr. Youngberg:
Hello, I'm Dr. Wes Youngberg,
00:16:48.27\00:16:50.01
and I've just written a
book called "Memory Makeover:
00:16:50.04\00:16:52.21
How to Prevent Alzheimer's
and Reverse Cognitive Decline."
00:16:52.24\00:16:56.54
This book is in story form.
00:16:56.58\00:16:58.41
It's case studies of individuals
that I have worked with
00:16:58.45\00:17:00.88
and my colleagues have worked
with where they've actually
00:17:00.92\00:17:03.22
been able to stop
cognitive decline,
00:17:03.25\00:17:06.52
and 80 percent of the
time have been able to reverse
00:17:06.55\00:17:09.66
aspects of cognitive decline.
00:17:09.69\00:17:11.96
If you want to
know more about that,
00:17:11.99\00:17:13.63
get the book "Memory Makeover."
00:17:13.66\00:17:16.63
>>John Bradshaw: Most everybody
wants to live a little longer,
00:17:18.57\00:17:21.90
a little healthier,
and a little happier.
00:17:21.94\00:17:25.47
But the question is, how
can you experience that life?
00:17:25.51\00:17:29.61
Jesus said that He came into the
world that we might have life
00:17:29.64\00:17:33.45
"more abundantly."
00:17:33.48\00:17:35.15
Evidently it's what
God wants us to have.
00:17:35.18\00:17:38.32
So don't miss
"Life and Longevity"
00:17:38.35\00:17:41.29

that are guaranteed
to enhance our lives,
00:17:51.83\00:17:54.97

Thanks for joining me today

on It Is Written.
00:18:20.53\00:18:21.46
Dr. Wes Youngberg,
we've been talking about,
00:18:21.50\00:18:24.67
uh, preventing and even
reversing cognitive decline.
00:18:24.70\00:18:28.57
>>Dr. Wes Youngberg: Right.
00:18:28.60\00:18:29.40
>>John: Do you
meet people who say,
00:18:29.44\00:18:30.57
"Nah, this just can't happen"?
00:18:30.61\00:18:32.41
>>Dr. Youngberg:
You know, I was trained,
00:18:32.44\00:18:33.94
and most of my
colleagues were trained,
00:18:33.98\00:18:36.21
that this was
just really impossible.
00:18:36.24\00:18:38.15
And so, unless,
unless we have taken the time
00:18:38.18\00:18:42.72
to look at the new research
and to study it and to see
00:18:42.75\00:18:46.29
what is possible,
00:18:46.32\00:18:47.96
then we're gonna believe what
we were taught 30 years ago.
00:18:47.99\00:18:51.56
Right? And so, so that's
why I spend a lot of my time
00:18:51.59\00:18:54.56
lecturing to medical
audiences, to give them,
00:18:54.56\00:18:56.63
give them the vision of
what is really possible,
00:18:56.67\00:18:59.50
because if we take the time to
address the underlying triggers
00:18:59.53\00:19:04.44
of Alzheimer's, it,
it's, it's transformative.
00:19:04.47\00:19:08.54
So that's why, once
again, the, the research
00:19:08.58\00:19:10.61
out of the Adventist health
study at Loma Linda University
00:19:10.65\00:19:13.65
has documented that 90 percent
of Alzheimer's is preventable.
00:19:13.68\00:19:17.55
We can, we can track that.
00:19:17.59\00:19:18.75
But, but the, I
also see in my practice,
00:19:18.79\00:19:21.76
and, and other colleagues
of mine that do this full-time
00:19:21.79\00:19:25.19
have noticed, that at
least 80 percent of those
00:19:25.23\00:19:29.03
who are willing to invest and,
and put effort into addressing
00:19:29.06\00:19:34.80
the fundamental strategies and
then the specialty strategies
00:19:34.84\00:19:38.31
related to their
individual risk factors,
00:19:38.34\00:19:40.61
are actually able to
begin to reverse that process,
00:19:40.64\00:19:43.14
which means that it's
also preventing progression.
00:19:43.18\00:19:46.38
So the first step is
to prevent progression
00:19:46.41\00:19:48.32
or to slow progression.
00:19:48.35\00:19:49.72
The second step is
to stop progression.
00:19:49.75\00:19:52.32
And the third step
is to focus on reversal
00:19:52.35\00:19:55.52
of that cognitive decline.
00:19:55.56\00:19:57.09
And the vast majority of
those who invest in this,
00:19:57.13\00:20:00.23
like John and Mary did,
00:20:00.26\00:20:01.90
are actually able
to accomplish that.
00:20:01.93\00:20:03.67
>>John: We have a few
moments left, so let's, let's,
00:20:03.70\00:20:05.97
let's leave this
with some, some steps.
00:20:06.00\00:20:08.14
Someone is saying, "I hear what
you say. This isn't a guarantee.
00:20:08.17\00:20:11.87
"I hear what you
say. This doesn't mean
00:20:11.91\00:20:13.27
we're going to get
rid of everything."
00:20:13.31\00:20:14.58
>>Dr. Youngberg: Right.
00:20:14.61\00:20:15.58
>>John: "But we're
talking about improvement
00:20:15.61\00:20:16.41
"and very
significant improvement.
00:20:16.44\00:20:18.18
"I want that for
my family member.
00:20:18.21\00:20:19.91
I want that for
myself. I'm going to start."
00:20:19.95\00:20:22.48
Where do we start?
Let's look at some steps.
00:20:22.52\00:20:24.15
>>Dr. Youngberg: Okay, so,
um, but, we, we need to start
00:20:24.19\00:20:27.49
with exercise.
00:20:27.52\00:20:28.52
That's the most
fundamental strategy.
00:20:28.56\00:20:30.23
Exercise is what
makes you feel better.
00:20:30.26\00:20:32.36
Exercise is what
starts to change the brain
00:20:32.39\00:20:35.00
to start healing.
00:20:35.03\00:20:36.26
Uh, but exercise by itself isn't
going to fix all this, right?
00:20:36.30\00:20:39.13
>>John: Okay, so exercise, plus?
00:20:39.17\00:20:40.37
>>Dr. Youngberg: Yeah, uh, so
we have to have the right diet.
00:20:40.40\00:20:42.27
We have to have the right fuel.
00:20:42.30\00:20:43.77
We have to get the
right nutrients into our body.
00:20:43.81\00:20:46.04
We have to avoid the very foods
that are bringing toxins that,
00:20:46.07\00:20:49.38
that are causing
damage to neurogenesis.
00:20:49.41\00:20:52.01
>>John: Unfortunately
those are the foods
00:20:52.05\00:20:53.35
that a lot of people like
00:20:53.38\00:20:54.35
but everybody is
willing to admit are bad for us.
00:20:54.38\00:20:56.22
So, keep away from or
minimize or eliminate what?
00:20:56.25\00:20:59.19
>>Dr. Youngberg:
Yeah, basically, fast foods,
00:20:59.22\00:21:01.22
fried foods, refined foods, the,
you know, all the sugary foods.
00:21:01.26\00:21:06.46
[chuckles] There are so many
studies we could cover, John,
00:21:06.49\00:21:09.26
but if, if, if
you're going to start
00:21:09.30\00:21:11.17
with avoiding one thing
that's really bad for the brain,
00:21:11.20\00:21:14.30
it's sugar, you know. And I,
I, I could eat a lot of sugar.
00:21:14.34\00:21:18.64
>>John: I think everybody could.
00:21:18.67\00:21:19.97
>>Dr. Youngberg: You
know, we all love sugar.
00:21:20.01\00:21:22.38
But here's the bottom line.
00:21:22.41\00:21:23.85
Sugar actually dumbs
down the brain very quickly.
00:21:23.88\00:21:27.82
I could tell you stories
when I've experienced it myself,
00:21:27.85\00:21:30.72
right? So I'm not perfect.
00:21:30.75\00:21:31.92
I make stupid
mistakes from time to time,
00:21:31.95\00:21:33.86
and I notice it when I do.
00:21:33.89\00:21:35.36
>>John: And it's not
just that sugar is so bad,
00:21:35.39\00:21:37.13
but again, you look at
the standard American diet,
00:21:37.16\00:21:39.03
we're consuming
tons of this stuff.
00:21:39.06\00:21:41.03
>>Dr. Youngberg: Yeah.
00:21:41.06\00:21:42.23
>>John: Way more than the
body was ever meant to consume.
00:21:42.26\00:21:43.67
>>Dr. Youngberg: Yeah.
00:21:43.70\00:21:44.80
>>John: So if we pull
that back to a realistic level,
00:21:44.83\00:21:45.73
that's really gonna help.
00:21:45.77\00:21:46.53
>>Dr. Youngberg:
Yeah, absolutely.
00:21:46.57\00:21:47.87
And so then we talk about
sleep. Sleep is so critical.
00:21:47.90\00:21:50.64
If, if somebody
doesn't fix the sleep problem,
00:21:50.67\00:21:54.11
uh, even if they're addressing
the other things quite well,
00:21:54.14\00:21:57.48
it's going to really
slow any of the benefit.
00:21:57.51\00:22:00.72
And so, again, we
want to slow things down;
00:22:00.75\00:22:03.18
we wanna begin to
reverse that process.
00:22:03.22\00:22:05.82
You've gotta get a
good night's sleep.
00:22:05.85\00:22:07.49
We gotta figure it out.
00:22:07.52\00:22:08.56
>>John: How many hours
is a good night's sleep?
00:22:08.59\00:22:09.89
>>Dr. Youngberg: Yeah,
so, so, for the average person
00:22:09.92\00:22:11.99
who's trying to prevent
further cognitive decline,
00:22:12.03\00:22:14.63
they really should be getting
at least seven or eight hours
00:22:14.66\00:22:17.13
of sleep, you know, somewhere
between seven and eight hours
00:22:17.17\00:22:19.53
of nightly sleep.
00:22:19.57\00:22:21.47
Studies have shown
just going to bed late,
00:22:21.50\00:22:23.47
even if you get eight hours,
00:22:23.51\00:22:25.51
causes damage to the hippocampal
cells, even in young people.
00:22:25.54\00:22:29.91
So, so this is some--
00:22:29.94\00:22:31.41
neurodegeneration
doesn't begin at age 75 or 85.
00:22:31.45\00:22:35.62
It begins, begins very
early, even as teenagers.
00:22:35.65\00:22:39.75
So, so if we start
paying attention as teenagers
00:22:39.79\00:22:43.16
and young adults, we
are protecting the reserve
00:22:43.19\00:22:46.80
of cognitive
function in our brain.
00:22:46.83\00:22:48.93
And that way it'll take a
lot longer to eventually get
00:22:48.96\00:22:52.20
to a problem, if
there ever was one.
00:22:52.23\00:22:53.94
>>John:
Exercise, the right food,
00:22:53.97\00:22:55.64
and eating the right
food is, is two things;
00:22:55.67\00:22:57.91
it's eating the right food
and not eating a bunch of junk.
00:22:57.94\00:23:00.58
>>Dr. Youngberg: Yeah.
00:23:00.61\00:23:01.28
>>John: Getting adequate sleep.
00:23:01.31\00:23:02.18
>>Dr. Youngberg: Yeah.
00:23:02.21\00:23:02.84
>>John: What else?
00:23:02.88\00:23:03.91
>>Dr. Youngberg: Optimal
hydration, getting plenty,
00:23:03.95\00:23:05.51
plenty of water,
spending time outside,
00:23:05.55\00:23:07.98
getting, getting some
sunlight on a daily basis,
00:23:08.02\00:23:10.69
optimizing your
blood vitamin D levels.
00:23:10.72\00:23:13.39
Those, those are
critical, critical steps.
00:23:13.42\00:23:15.89
And I would like to say
that doing comprehensive
00:23:15.92\00:23:18.49
blood testing,
doing genetic testing,
00:23:18.53\00:23:21.03
all that is, is indispensable
00:23:21.06\00:23:23.80
to understanding
our individual risk.
00:23:23.83\00:23:26.37
So at some point the
fundamentals have to be,
00:23:26.40\00:23:29.24
have to be, uh, we have
to add to the fundamentals
00:23:29.27\00:23:32.44
the, the individualized
risk factors that we might have.
00:23:32.47\00:23:35.31
And the only way
you're gonna know
00:23:35.34\00:23:37.01
if you have a problem with these
is to work with your doctor
00:23:37.05\00:23:39.35
to get
comprehensive blood tests,
00:23:39.38\00:23:41.65
not just the
standard physical blood tests,
00:23:41.68\00:23:44.32
but tests that relate to all the
risks that can affect the brain.
00:23:44.35\00:23:47.62
>>John: Why do you think it is
that the incidence of dementia,
00:23:47.66\00:23:51.16
Alzheimer's in
particular, is way up, way up
00:23:51.19\00:23:54.40
compared to 50
years, 100 years ago?
00:23:54.46\00:23:58.10
>>Dr. Youngberg: Well, yeah,
I think it has to do with, uh,
00:23:58.13\00:24:00.10
the choices that we've made,
00:24:00.14\00:24:01.60
and we've bought into
some of the marketing,
00:24:01.64\00:24:03.71
the biggest marketing
lies of our, of our generation.
00:24:03.74\00:24:07.48
Uh, I, I just recently read, uh,
a big magazine at the airport
00:24:07.51\00:24:12.21
was saying how to
deal with, uh, Alzheimer's,
00:24:12.25\00:24:14.85
and it had "hope" on it.
00:24:14.88\00:24:16.12
So I thought, okay, I
want to find out what they say
00:24:16.15\00:24:17.89
about hope.
00:24:17.92\00:24:18.32
>>John: Sure.
00:24:18.35\00:24:19.59
>>Dr. Youngberg: And you know
what one--they had two things
00:24:19.62\00:24:20.79
about hope; one of the
things was "more good news for,"
00:24:20.82\00:24:24.46
for, uh, "drinkers." [laughs]
Basically they were saying,
00:24:24.49\00:24:28.63
suggesting, that if you
just drank more alcohol,
00:24:28.66\00:24:31.97
more, more alcoholic beverages,
00:24:32.00\00:24:33.90
that that would protect
your brain from dementia.
00:24:33.94\00:24:36.67
>>John: That's absurd.
00:24:36.71\00:24:37.71
>>Dr. Youngberg:
The opposite is true.
00:24:37.74\00:24:38.81
The best studies ever
done, British Medical Journal,
00:24:38.84\00:24:41.44
uh, showing that
a 30-year MRI study,
00:24:41.48\00:24:45.78
so that even
occasional social drinking
00:24:45.81\00:24:49.35
led to
hippocampal brain cell loss,
00:24:49.38\00:24:51.89
even occasional,
by over 300 percent,
00:24:51.92\00:24:55.06
moderate drinking
over a 30-year period.
00:24:55.09\00:24:57.69
And these were
people that had, you know,
00:24:57.73\00:24:59.73
upper social economic status.
00:24:59.76\00:25:02.10
>>John: So we've
become prisoners, really,
00:25:02.13\00:25:03.40
of our own lifestyle.
00:25:03.43\00:25:04.50
>>Dr. Youngberg: Right.
00:25:04.53\00:25:05.50
>>John: Our
forebears didn't live this way.
00:25:05.53\00:25:06.47
We don't have to go
back to the Stone Age,
00:25:06.50\00:25:07.84
but just in
relevantly recent times,
00:25:07.87\00:25:09.47
people were living
far healthier lives.
00:25:09.50\00:25:11.21
If we can somehow tweak
this thing a little bit,
00:25:11.24\00:25:14.24
we'll find fantastic results.
00:25:14.28\00:25:16.61
I'm impressed
with this very much,
00:25:16.64\00:25:18.21
"Memory Makeover: How
to Prevent Alzheimer's
00:25:18.25\00:25:20.45
and Reverse Cognitive
Decline the Natural Way."
00:25:20.48\00:25:22.95
Thanks for doing this.
00:25:22.98\00:25:24.39
>>Dr. Youngberg:
My pleasure, John.
00:25:24.42\00:25:25.32
>>John: Thanks for doing this.
00:25:25.35\00:25:26.45
This book [thumps] will
change lots and lots of lives.
00:25:26.49\00:25:31.23
And if you look to
the God who made you--
00:25:31.26\00:25:35.06
remember the Bible says, "We are
fearfully and wonderfully made."
00:25:35.10\00:25:38.57
If you bring into your
lifestyle the God who made us
00:25:38.60\00:25:41.80
in the beginning and made
us to live a certain way--
00:25:41.84\00:25:44.94
and, uh, let me
just check this with you.
00:25:44.97\00:25:47.88
When you add into
this faith, hope, trust,
00:25:47.91\00:25:51.65
and a relationship with God,
00:25:51.68\00:25:53.28
there's healing in
that, too, isn't there?
00:25:53.31\00:25:54.72
>>Dr. Youngberg:
That's, that's actually probably
00:25:54.75\00:25:56.08
the number one thing.
00:25:56.12\00:25:57.15
Having healthy relationships
with our fellow man,
00:25:57.19\00:26:01.16
but also vertically with
God, I think we can clearly say
00:26:01.19\00:26:04.53
that that's the most
important part of healing.
00:26:04.56\00:26:07.83
>>John: Dr. Youngberg, thank
you. I appreciate it immensely.
00:26:07.86\00:26:10.10
>>Dr. Youngberg:

of people just like you.

Our Father in heaven,
00:26:44.83\00:26:45.57
we're grateful,
00:26:45.60\00:26:46.33
grateful that there's hope,
00:26:46.37\00:26:47.64
grateful that You
are the Great Physician.
00:26:47.67\00:26:50.24
We are grateful today that
You love us and loved us so much
00:26:50.27\00:26:53.91
to allow Jesus to
come to this world
00:26:53.94\00:26:55.58
that we could
live here, and there.
00:26:55.61\00:26:59.21
We know He's coming back soon.
00:26:59.25\00:27:01.12
You want for us
the more abundant life,
00:27:01.15\00:27:03.12
a life that
stretches beyond this world
00:27:03.15\00:27:05.95
and into the world to come.
00:27:05.99\00:27:08.06
Friend, you can
have that life in Jesus.
00:27:08.09\00:27:09.72
If you've not accepted it
from Him, would you do so now?
00:27:09.76\00:27:12.09
Would you pray a prayer
in your heart that says,
00:27:12.13\00:27:14.56
"Lord, take me, make me Yours.
00:27:14.60\00:27:17.10
"I want You, the God of heaven,
00:27:17.13\00:27:18.43
to have my life and
guide me in Your path."
00:27:18.47\00:27:21.54
Lord, will You guide us in
the paths of better health?
00:27:21.57\00:27:24.61
There are people
right now who are saying,
00:27:24.64\00:27:25.91
"Thank You. I want
this new life, new hope."
00:27:25.94\00:27:29.51
We want to fight this thing off
00:27:29.54\00:27:30.85
and, and reverse the ravages
of this terrible disease.
00:27:30.88\00:27:35.72
Lord, we thank
You for the great hope
00:27:35.75\00:27:37.22
of the wonderful
future that we have in You
00:27:37.25\00:27:39.82
in this world and
soon when Jesus returns.
00:27:39.85\00:27:44.13
In Jesus' name we pray.
00:27:44.16\00:27:46.33
Amen.
00:27:46.36\00:27:47.96
Thanks so much for joining me.
00:27:47.96\00:27:49.03
I'm looking forward to
seeing you again next time.
00:27:49.06\00:27:51.53
Until then, remember:
00:27:51.57\00:27:53.27
"It is written, 'Man
shall not live by bread alone,
00:27:53.30\00:27:56.91
but by every word that proceeds
from the mouth of God.'"
