283. Preventing Dementia - Max Lugavere

Max Lugavere discusses his journey into researching dementia prevention and the importance of lifestyle factors in maintaining brain health. He emphasizes the need for early intervention and the identification of biomarkers that can indicate risk for cognitive decline. The conversation also touches on the influence of the alcohol and food industries on public health guidelines, the role of physicians in prevention, and the power of individual agency in making healthy choices. In this conversation, Max Lugavere and I discuss various topics related to brain health, nutrition, and lifestyle. They touch on the confusion surrounding processed foods and veganism, the role of cholesterol in health, the importance of exercise for brain health, and the potential benefits of hormone replacement therapy. Max shares his personal experience with his mother's battle with dementia and emphasizes the need for individuals to take control of their own health and advocate for themselves. Takeaways Dementia prevention requires early intervention and the identification of biomarkers that can indicate risk for cognitive decline. The alcohol and food industries have significant influence on public health guidelines, which may not always prioritize prevention. Physicians may not be incentivized to advocate for prevention, and the responsibility for wellness ultimately lies with individuals. There is no one-size-fits-all diet for brain health, but diets low in ultra-processed foods and added sugar tend to be beneficial. The conversation around prevention is growing, but public health statistics show that there is still work to be done. Processed foods can be a source of confusion and stress, leading to unhealthy dietary choices. While veganism can be a personal choice, making health claims and demonizing animal-sourced foods without strong evidence is misleading. Cholesterol is often misunderstood, and the risks associated with it may be exaggerated. LDL cholesterol should be viewed as a check engine light rather than a definitive indicator of health. Exercise is crucial for brain health and can help prevent and slow the progression of conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can have potential benefits for brain health, and the risks are often overblown. Individuals should take control of their own health, stay informed, and be open to updating their knowledge based on new evidence. https://www.instagram.com/maxlugavere/ Documentary Little Empty Boxes https://www.maxlugavere.com/ Thanks to our sponsor Sprout Pharmaceuticals.

Erectile Dysfunction, does the intimacy have to stop after prostate cancer?

Erectile Dysfunction, does the intimacy have to stop after prostate cancer?

Sign up for my sex education class starting September 21st! www.kellycaspersonmd.com First, we need to hear the importance of erections from the male perspective. Okay, now that we did that, what should we do when couples stop having sex after erectile dysfunction.  In this episode we will specifically talk about prostate cancer as an example. We learn why erections can falter after treatment for cancer.   We learn how relationships change. We learn that the embarrassment in talking about this actually hurts couples because they can't think of what to do after their sex life has changed. Communication is key! But we have to start by acknowledging that this is a really really hard topic for couples to talk about. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kj-casperson/message Learn more about your ad choices.

Thoughts about sex

Thoughts about sex

The MASTER CLASS is starting soon!  From boring to mind blowing!  Sex education and coaching! www.kellycaspersonmd.com Thoughts about sex Let’s hear about a “typical” woman who comes to me for sexual issues. KY Jelly is the Betty Crocker of lube – it is everywhere, but not always great. Figure out what your sexual goals are. Your thoughts about sex influence your sexual satisfaction. Your thoughts are not facts. If your goal is to be a happy sexual person but your thoughts tell you otherwise, we are stuck! Sometimes thoughts are put in your head by other people, things, society. Especially about sex. I can’t get you to comfortable enjoyable sex if your thought is, “I am not a sexual being” Your body is listening to your thoughts. Sex and body image. Thoughts create our feelings which create our actions. Some of our thoughts aren’t serving us anymore. Sometimes we can’t make a thought go away, but we can see it for what it is – not a fact and not helping you. You can work on replacing your thoughts. Negative thoughts can’t get you to a positive solution. Sex coaching! Your biggest sex organ is your brain. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kj-casperson/message Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
