Alzheimer's and Your DNA with Kashif Khan

The DNA Talks Podcast

As the new year begins, 2023 recaps come across your feed filled with memories made over the past year. Unfortunately for some, the topic of memories often leads to the worry of being at risk of Alzheimer's, as this disease is often related to aging, leaving out the actual factors behind it.
In this episode, Kashif delves into the reality behind Alzheimer's, the most common type of dementia in which symptoms include memory loss, lessened or loss of awareness of one's surroundings, weight loss, among others. Starting off with an example from Chris Hemsworth's show "Limitless," Chris was told that he was eight to ten times more at risk of getting dementia but was never told ways to prevent it, as Kashif points out.
Kashif then explains the potential risk factors as well as the habits and lifestyle that contribute to having Alzheimer's besides aging - the number one cause being inflammation. Inflammation in the brain does not occur instantly but is developed over the years with our choices and the reality of the environment in which we now live. This fact prompts Kashif to look into the difference in the reality of our ancestors who lived healthily and lacked stimulations from EMFs, pollution, and food with no nutritional value.
These factors revealed in the episode are related to studies made regarding genetics, mitochondria, metabolic health, leaky gut, and energetics. They explain how dementia develops over the years, as no one is born with dementia or any symptoms of it.
