Is Alzheimer’s really just one disease? Dr. Colbert explains why he says there are several different types of Alzheimer’s, each with its own causes, and why someone who reaches 85 has close to a coin flip chance of developing it.
In this clip he covers how Alzheimer’s differs from Lewy body, vascular, and frontotemporal dementia, and shares his own father’s journey with the disease. He walks through the types he describes: inflammatory Alzheimer’s and the CRP and homocysteine blood tests he checks, the blood sugar link and why he watches for fasting blood sugar over 100, hormone decline after 50, toxins like high mercury fish (swordfish, bigeye tuna, tilefish, and shark), silver fillings, and mold from water damaged buildings, vascular causes, and concussions from football, soccer, and boxing. He also covers the Alzheimer’s gene and the early warning signs he says people often brush off as senior moments: walking into a room and forgetting why, reading a page and not remembering it, forgetting names, misplacing keys, and trouble planning.
If you notice memory changes in yourself or someone you love, talk with your doctor about testing and next steps. Talk with your doctor before starting a new supplement or changing any medication.
