Ketones provide an alternative, cleaner energy source that can support brain function, reduce oxidative stress, decrease inflammation, protect neurons, and support mitochondrial health. These benefits may collectively slow down the effects of aging on the brain and potentially other organs, contributing to healthier aging.
Read MoreIn functional medicine, nutrition is viewed as a powerful intervention to support body-wide health. By focusing on individual needs, whole foods, nutrient balance, and root-cause approaches, functional medicine practitioners use nutrition to enhance wellness, treat health conditions, and prevent disease. This patient-centered approach highlights how personalized nutrition can be a core part of a comprehensive, integrative healthcare strategy.
Read MoreInsulin resistance speeds up brain aging by reducing energy for brain cells, increasing inflammation, weakening brain connections, reducing flexibility, and raising the risk of dementia. Improving insulin sensitivity through diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes can help protect the brain and slow down the aging process, potentially preserving memory and cognitive function longer.
Read MoreAddressing insulin resistance through diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes may help protect brain health and slow the aging process. Ketone-inducing dietary interventions can be effective in slowing brain aging, bypassing insulin resistance, and protecting the brain and cognitive function, even in younger adults and non-insulin resistant people.
