Summary

In Episode #65, I sat down with Drs Ayesha and Dean Sherzai, or Team Sherzai, who are neurologists from California. They are experts in the prevention of neurological degenerative disorders and authors of the well-known book The Alzheimer’s Solution. In this conversation, we discussed why talking about lifestyle and degenerative neurological conditions is so important, what the science tells us about degenerative neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, and the underlying mechanisms and physiological risk factors that contribute to the development of these conditions. Dean and Ayesha shared the science they’re publishing and the work they’re doing at a community level, as well as the foods we should eat to reduce the chances of developing these conditions. To hear more from Drs Dean and Ayesha Sherzai, check out episodes #78, #97, #117, #126, #188, and #226. Enjoy, friends. Simon. Want to support the show?

0:00.0	Quick one. My team tells me we actually have very few reviews relative to the weekly audience
0:07.4	numbers. This is no doubt my fault, as I've always felt a little weird about asking you
0:12.2	to do something for me. But clearly, if you don't ask, you don't get. So if you're enjoying
0:17.6	the show, if it's providing you value, please take 30 seconds and leave a review on Apple
0:22.6	or Spotify. In doing so, you'll help the show rank higher, which means we can continue
0:27.5	to attract the brightest and most trustworthy people in science. My team and I have big
0:32.3	plans for the show where we want to be in 24 months and we need your help to make this
0:36.7	possible. The brain is the most vascular organ in the body. If you had to spread out the
0:46.8	vessels that supply oxygen and nutrition to the brain, it would be about 400 miles. So
0:52.2	think about these arteries that are as thin as your hair, like millions of them. When
0:57.7	somebody lives an unhealthy life, for example, when they're not tearing for what they eat
1:02.6	or they don't exercise or they don't sleep or they're under a tremendous amount of stress,
1:07.7	you get processes like inflammation and oxidation and dysregulation of energy and fat causing
1:14.4	damage to the arteries. And over time, that actually destroyed the very connections between
1:20.6	the cells. If it's not addressed right away, that can lead to strokes, that can lead to
1:26.0	dementia and so many other brain diseases.
1:29.5	That's Dr. Dean and Asia Sherside and this is episode 65 of the Proof Podcast.
1:37.3	Hey friends, here we go again. It's great to have you with me here today.
1:55.4	For new listeners, my name is Simon Hill, physiotherapist currently finishing my masters
2:01.1	in nutrition and host of this show, The Plant Proof Podcast. Each week, I get to sit
2:07.4	down with super cool folks from all walks of life, doctors, nutritionists, athletes, people
2:14.7	who have overcome chronic illness and much more to have conversations that can help us become
