Wellness and Self-Improvement

Key dementia-prevention strategies, self-care, and productivity/brain-support tips

Lifestyle & risk-factor actions (core)

Age & hormones (especially sex hormones)

  • Treat age-related hormonal imbalance as a major risk driver.
  • Suggested supports to help balance/reduce risk:
    • Ashwagandha
    • Magnesium
    • Zinc
  • Maintain/improve testosterone (claimed to protect the brain).

Reduce cardiometabolic risk

  • Lower high-carbohydrate intake (described as a major dementia factor).
  • Improve insulin sensitivity (insulin resistance linked to cognitive decline).
  • Consider low-carb/keto-style eating without sugar/refined starch excess.

Sleep & stress regulation

  • Deep sleep helps “cleanse” the brain and remove toxins.
  • Address sleep apnea or any cause of poor sleep.
  • Recognize stress-mode signs:
    • Waking up at night exhausted
    • Relying on coffee
    • Trouble falling asleep despite being tired
  • Use structured stress/sleep improvement (mentioned: a free “Stress and Sleep Control marathon”).

Physical exercise

  • Exercise is one of the most effective dementia-prevention tools.
  • Supports:
    • Lower stress
    • More oxygen delivery
    • Increased BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) to support brain cell growth
  • Suggested training approach:
    • Hypoxic training (mask restricting oxygen for short sessions) to stimulate oxygen-delivery adaptations (capillaries, blood cell changes) and aid recovery/brain health.

Nutrition & supplements mentioned (target deficiencies/toxins)

Fix nutrient deficiencies linked to cognition

  • B12
    • Low stomach acidity or low animal-food intake can reduce absorption.
    • B12 deficiency may mimic dementia.
    • Emphasis on stomach acid and B12 absorption.
  • B1 (thiamine)
    • Recommended form: benfotiamine (fat-soluble B1).
    • Warning: excess sugar/“empty carbohydrates”, and heavy tea/coffee intake may contribute to B1 depletion.
  • Vitamin D3
    • Important for inflammation control; described as requiring higher dosing or daily safe sun exposure (avoid burning).

Omega-3 fats / brain structure

  • DHA (omega-3) as a brain structural component.
  • Eat oily fish (sardines, cod liver, cod liver oil).

Zinc for brain protection

  • Helps reduce risk of plaque formation.
  • Sources: red meat, oysters, shellfish.

Liver/gut health supports brain health

  • Milk thistle
    • Antioxidant liver protection; claims to help reduce toxic brain plaques.
  • Silica (silicon dioxide)
    • Suggested natural “chelator” to bind/remove aluminum/heavy metals.
  • Probiotics/fermented foods (gut-brain axis):
    • kefir, yogurt, raw milk cheese.

Support for digestion & B12 absorption

  • Betaine hydrochloride mentioned to increase stomach acidity for indigestion/acid reflux and improve nutrient absorption.

Iron balance

  • Avoid iron supplements; excess iron may harm the brain.
  • Suggested method: donate blood to check if you feel better (possible iron overload).

MCT oil & fasting (for those already low-carb)

  • For dementia: MCT oil as “brain fuel.”
  • Add intermittent fasting to support autophagy (claimed to clear waste/toxic plaques).

Avoid or limit harmful exposures

  • Air pollution
    • Use air-quality apps; install home air filters or move if needed.
    • Prefer walking in clean-air nature/forests.
  • Smoking emphasized as a major hazard.
  • Alcohol
    • Claimed not beneficial; harms liver and brain neurons.

Supplements/meds and other specific agents (as discussed)

  • Progesterone: described as brain-protective; suggested especially if dementia is present.
  • “Taurka” (described as synthetic bear bile)
    • Claims include crossing the blood-brain barrier and improving insulin resistance/sensitivity and liver inflammation.
  • Deprenyl (selegiline—mentioned as a medicine)
    • Said to slow breakdown of neurotransmitters.
    • FDA approval noted for Parkinson’s, not dementia.
    • Speaker prefers natural alternatives and mentions natural MAO inhibitors (named as “Noble Cava”), with caution to avoid unless dementia is present.
  • Aluminum risk & chelation
    • Aluminum accumulation as a cognitive risk; silica suggested as binding/removal.

Brain stimulation & mental health practices

Mental stimulation

  • Engage the brain: puzzles, learning new languages, playing music, learning new skills.
  • Avoid cognitive “downshifting” like retiring and only watching TV.

Music & dancing

  • Stimulates brain areas and increases oxytocin.
  • Helps reduce chronic stress/cortisol and improve sleep.

Communication/social connection

  • Builds oxytocin, reduces stress, strengthens emotional connections, and reduces dementia risk.

Depression treatment approach

  • Vitamin D3 recommended first to try for depression (as described).

Left-hand use for puzzles

  • If right-handed: doing puzzles with the non-dominant (left) hand is claimed to stimulate the brain more and reduce dementia risk.

Education via “active steps” framing

  • Repeated emphasis that dementia prevention requires active, ongoing lifestyle changes.

Dental & inflammation-related care

Gum health

  • Gum infections/abscesses may trigger immune responses; theories suggest microbial/immune activity could relate to brain plaque formation.
  • Key action: treat dental/gum issues promptly and maintain good oral hygiene.

Presenters / sources mentioned

  • Dr. Berg (Dr. Berg’s Academy; Dr. Berg supplements and store)
  • FDA (approval mentioned for deprenyl in Parkinson’s disease)
  • Ozone / Wildberries (marketplaces referenced re: counterfeit concerns)
