Episode 261- Is Alzheimer's a Metabolic Disease? The Case for Insulin Resistance as Root Cause with Rachel Daughtery

Could insulin resistance be the real root cause of Alzheimer's? In this powerful and personal episode, Shana Hussin, RDN, interviews Rachel Daughtery, the passionate voice behind Booty & Brains, whose mission is to shift the Alzheimer's conversation toward prevention and metabolic healing.

Rachel shares how her mother's diagnosis ignited a relentless pursuit of answers — leading her to the science connecting insulin resistance, glucose metabolism, and neurodegeneration. She explains why building muscle, stabilizing blood sugar, and reducing inflammation are not just good for your waistline — they're critical for brain health. This conversation is equal parts science and soul, offering hope and actionable steps for those with a family history of Alzheimer's or looking to prevent cognitive decline.
