LEARN HOW YOU CAN DRAMATICALLY SLASH YOUR RISK FOR ALZHEIMER'S AS YOU AGE.
The Diabetic Brain in Alzheimer's Disease is an actionable roadmap for anyone wishing to arm themselves with the POWERFUL knowledge that can slash their risk of dementia & preserve their cognitive function into their golden years.
From the Author...
Key Points Include:
How and why type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease increases your risk for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease LOAD
Why elevated blood sugar and AGEs (advanced glycation end-products) are toxic to your vascular system and your brain and how they increase your risk for LOAD
How chronic inflammation and oxidative stress mechanisms are central to the development and progression of LOAD
Why a deficit in brain energy metabolism leads to a critical energy crisis that increases your risk for LOAD as you age
Why your brain gradually loses the capacity to burn glucose as you age and how that that increases your risk for LOAD
How a vital energy source (ketones) derived primarily from fat can save your brain from Alzheimer’s as you age
What “type 3 diabetes” and brain insulin resistance are and how they’re connected to LOAD
How the awareness of your specific genetic predisposition to LOAD can reduce your risk for dementia as you age
How to proactively reduce your risk for Alzheimer's through a personalized medicine approach as you age
What You Will Learn...
Critical takeaways that are vital to dementia risk reduction
Blood Sugar Woes
How the toxic effect of high blood sugar to your body and your brain is in part mediated by a damaging process termed glycation. Glycation and the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) have been shown to potentially increase the risk for dementia in susceptible individuals as they age.
Brain Inflamation
How chronic inflammation and a related process, oxidative stress, begins to put your brain at risk for a dementia related disease process as you age. The key factors that underlie these brain toxic mechanisms are in part due to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The early assessment and intervention of these chronic disease patterns may significantly reduce your risk for dementia or Alzheimer's disease as you age.
Brain Energy Crisis
Why the earliest stages of late-onset Alzheimer’s disease that is marked by brain energy metabolism deficits sets the stage for more significant cognitive decline as you age and the heightened risk for Alzheimer's disease. Research now indicates that the pre-clinical (asymptomatic) stage of Alzheimer's disease is marked by mitochondrial dysfunction and a critical reduction in the metabolism of glucose in the brain (glucose hypo-metabolism)
Genetic Susceptibility
What are the key risk genes associated with late onset Alzheimer’s disease & how they potentially converge with environmental risk factors (diet-lifestyle) that contribute to an individuals combined risk. The identification of a person's genetic susceptibility to Alzheimer's disease and a host of other genetic risk factors can provide vital information that enables dietary and lifestyle strategies to potentially reduce the risk for dementia as one ages.

Why Read this Book?
The incidence of Late-onset Alzheimer’s disease is expected to triple by the year 2050. Between 2002 to 2012 a staggering 99.6 percent of the Alzheimer’s disease drug trials seeking a disease modifying benefit failed and recent trials have not delivered either.
Is there a solution to the pandemic of Alzheimer’s disease? There is! A transformational paradigm shift in the quest for a solution to Alzheimer’s disease that is centered on risk reduction and early detection and intervention, is now gaining momentum as a viable model for the abatement of this global crisis.
Age-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease are preventable disorders and trials and clinics around the world are demonstrating the very same for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. All three disorders are now understood to form a web of interconnected disease processes that present as a failing body and brain as one ages.
The Diabetic Brain in Alzheimer’s Disease ebook is a thorough and revealing overview on how and why Alzheimer’s is so prevalent. It “Connects the dots between, type 2 diabetes, type 3 diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.”, and it is a vital read for anyone wishing to arm themselves with the powerful knowledge that can empower their ability to take control over how their brain ages, and their risk for dementia.
“What a tremendous resource! Thank you for putting all of this great research in one great place.” I'm also extremely interested in warding off a family history of Alzheimer's and dementia. Medicine can be very powerful when we're able to identify the biochemical inefficiencies, apply specific dietary and nutritional remedies and apply a protocal to heal not just an individual but generations!
“A beautifully presented book that gives so much hope as we we start to understand that much of today's food industry practices are actually hurting us, even those without any genetic history of Diabetes or Alheimer's! I'm in my 40's and this book has opened my eyes to learning how to eat a ketogenc diet high in protein and low in carbs to start helping my brain energy metabolize efficiently. I Highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to combat the potential for having a diabetic brain and Alzheimer's.”

About Ralph Sanchez
A Ralph Sanchez’s mission for the past twelve years has come to partial fruition with his first book, The Diabetic Brain In Alzheimer’s Disease. Since 2000, Ralph’s passion and focus has centered on the the neurological complexities and metabolic underpinnings associated with Alzheimers disease and the emerging research that is building the foundation for Alzheimer’s and dementia prevention strategies.
Ralph’s second book, The Improved MIND Diet provides a powerful dietary template that showcases how and why the right food choices and cooking methods can protect against these age-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.
Formerly a practicing licensed acupuncturist with an integrative health practice in Southern California, Ralph now lives in Northern California and has a virtual consulting practice specializing in a unique body-brain health program—BrainDefend™.
BrainDefend™ integrates a personalized functional nutrition and lifestyle protocol with individuals that want to optimize their health and reduce the risk for dementia as they age.

The Diabetic Brain Podcast Series
In three episodes, Ralph condenses the information that is detailed In the The Diabetic Brain in Alzheimer’s Disease into an easy to listen to series that includes three podcasts. It is highly recommended that you listen to podcasts prior to reading the book as it will provide important insights on what the book covers.
