The End to Dementia, Alzheimer’s, and Small Blood Vessel Disease, with Dr. Axel Montagne, Ph.D.

Dr. Axel Montagne, Ph.D., Chancellor's Fellow & UK DRI Group Leader at The University of Edinburgh, joins Jillian this week to explain everything we need to know about the causes of dementia and whether or not we can prevent it.  From the degradation of our blood brain barrier, to small blood vessel disease, Alzheimer’s and amyloid plaques, to what you need to know if you are genetically predisposed by having certain APOE genes. We also discuss the link between insulin resistance and cognitive decline and what you can do to treat dementia with exercise, sauna therapy, sleep, fish oil, and the newest drugs on the market.  Guest Links: Website: https://montagnelab.com X (Twitter): @MontagneLab  and @AxL_Montagne  For 25% off The Fitness App by Jillian Michaels, go to www.thefitnessapp.com/podcastdeal Follow us on Instagram @JillianMichaels and @MartiniCindy Jillian Michaels Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1880466198675549 Email your questions to JillianPodcast@gmail.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
