| 0:00.0 | On this episode of the Reseter podcast, I bring you Dr. Dale Bredison. Now, I hope you are familiar with Dr. Brettison's work because he is a pioneer not only in brain health |
| 0:16.8 | research but specifically in dementia and Alzheimer's and a large reason why I wanted to bring him to you all is that we now have more evidence |
| 0:27.4 | than ever before that Alzheimer's and dementia is optional. |
| 0:32.3 | And you're going to hear him talk about this, that there are actually seven different lifestyle |
| 0:38.3 | tools we can look at, behaviors, health habits we can look at that will change the game in the direction of your |

| 1:22.7 | So those of you that are fasting, |
| 1:24.3 | it's really interesting what he has to say |
| 1:26.7 | about the power of ketones on the brain. |
| 1:29.1 | And then I wanted him to talk about some new emerging things like psychedelics. What do we know about |
| 1:35.1 | silocybin? What do we know about ketamine? Some of these emerging techniques or therapies |
| 1:41.6 | that are being revisited. |
| 1:43.6 | So this was such a beautiful conversation. |
