Getting Started With Your Diet

  1. Remove processed foods.
  2. Eat lots of organic fruits and vegetables.
  3. Eat healthy protein. Pastured eggs, grass-fed beef, lamb and SMASH fish.
  4. Get into keto: This increases energy in the brain.
  5. End up with a diet you love. Delicious, healthy food that is good for your brain.
Key Teaching Point

Alzheimer’s Starts Decades Before Symptoms

The disease process often begins long before memory problems appear, which means daily food choices can play a powerful protective role.

  1. Alzheimer’s disease often begins 10–30 years before symptoms.
  2. The brain gradually loses its ability to efficiently use glucose.
  3. Ketones can provide an alternative fuel source.
  4. Food is one of the most powerful tools for protecting the brain.
  5. Small dietary changes can create meaningful long-term benefits.
Brain-supporting foods including salmon, avocado, berries, leafy greens, nuts, mushrooms, and olive oil

Understanding

Alzheimer’s as a Metabolic Disease

Why some researchers call Alzheimer’s “Type 3 Diabetes”

Alzheimer’s isn’t just about memory, it’s about metabolism. When the brain can’t properly use glucose for energy, cognitive decline begins.

Illustration of the brain’s metabolic connections, including glucose pathways, inflammation, and mitochondria
  • Brain glucose hypometabolism

    The brain isn’t getting the energy it needs.

  • Insulin resistance

    Reduced sensitivity leads to poor glucose use.

  • Chronic inflammation

    Ongoing inflammation damages brain cells.

  • Mitochondrial dysfunction

    Cells can’t produce energy efficiently.

  • Blood sugar regulation

    Poor regulation over time accelerates brain decline.

Biomarkers to Know

HbA1cReflects average blood sugar over the past 2–3 months.
Fasting glucoseMeasures your baseline blood sugar level.
Fasting insulinShows how much insulin your body is producing.
HOMA-IRCalculates insulin resistance and metabolic health risk.

When we improve metabolic health, we improve brain health. Understanding these markers is the first step to prevention.

What is the

KetoFlex Diet?

The foundation of the Bredesen protocol

KetoFlex 12/3

Keto

  • Mild nutritional ketosis
  • Healthy fats
  • Lower sugar intake

How to get into

Ketosis Using Healthy Foods

Ketosis happens when your body uses fat for fuel instead of glucose.
Focus on real, nutrient-dense foods that support your metabolism and brain health.

Healthy fats

  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Avocados
  • Olives
  • Nuts
  • Seeds
Healthy fats including avocado, olive oil, olives, nuts, and seeds

Low-carb vegetables

  • Kale
  • Spinach
  • Arugula
  • Broccoli
  • Cauliflower
  • Brussels sprouts
Low-carb vegetables including kale, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts

What ketosis feels like

Reduced hunger
Better energy
Reduced cravings
Improved mental clarity
Ketone
goal
0.5–2.0 mmol/LBeta-hydroxybutyrate

This is the optimal range for nutritional ketosis and mental & metabolic benefits.

Tip: Stay hydrated, get enough electrolytes, and be consistent. Your body will adapt!

Mushrooms: One of the Most Powerful Brain Foods

Eat mushrooms at least 4 times per week

⌁

Key teaching point

Research from Singapore found that older adults who consumed mushrooms multiple times weekly had significantly lower odds of mild cognitive impairment.

Why

♩

Inflammation

Chronic inflammation damages brain cells and accelerates aging.

↗

Blood sugar spikes

Frequent spikes can lead to insulin resistance and brain glucose dysfunction.

⚛

Oxidative stress

Damages cells and reduces the brain's ability to function and repair.

+

Vascular damage

Harms blood vessels, reducing blood flow and nutrient delivery to the brain.
