Dr. Ethan Danielli and Aedan Rourke presented on their and Dr. Jeremy Walsh's research on Supporting healthy brain aging with ketone supplements.
There are different types of dementia and each presents differently but they all have symptoms that cause a person to have changes in brain function that interfere with the ability to function and do everyday activities. The common cognitive impairments are memory changes, language and speech, planning and problem-solving. Primary prevention of dementia is the key which focuses on modifiable cardio-metabolic risk factors like diabetes mellitus, midlife hypertension, midlife obesity and physical inactivity.
The brain uses 15% of the blood and needs glucose to support metabolic demand. A decrease in blood flow to the brain causes cerebral metabolic dysfunction and is central to neurodegenerative disease. So, how to increase blood flow is the essence of their research and to find another source of energy. Ketogenic diets are a slow source and the premise is that Ketogenic supplements provide a faster source. Keytone monoester rapidly alters brain function as shown on MRI scans.
Their study is in need of more research participants. If you are interested the poster below has information.
