Did you know that dementia begins developing 20–30 years before any symptoms emerge ... with negative changes beginning in the brain in our 40s and 50s? At age 41, Cat learned that her genotype gives her a 92% chance of developing Alzheimer's. With the threat of early onset Alzheimer's looming, Cat made a series of changes that led her neurologist to ask (after her bloodwork came back): “I've never seen an improvement like this. Did you steal someone's blood??!” Learn how she made her changes stick, how her new lifestyle has led to more entrepreneurial creativity ... and what you can do to have the healthiest brain now and for decades to come!    It's a No Brainer: Protect Your Business by Protecting Your Most Valuable Asset.   A few years ago, Cat Hoke became passionate about brain health and preventing cognitive decline (especially Alzheimer's). She give this extremely informative talk to share her personal journey after her doctor told her that, “Your lifestyle is burning your brain out!” She has since made remarkable reversals in her cognitive decline, and despite her current physical limitations, her brain remains sharp.  Cat is a previous guest on IMPACT and we felt that her story is so compelling that we needed to share it without our IMPACT audience.  So with Cat's permission please enjoy,  make notes and change your brain hearth.   It's a No-Brainer   Part I: Assessing Your Brain Health   Disclaimer! Cat is not a doctor or medical expert. This content is for informational purposes only. It is general in nature and is not intended to be medical advice. Consult your own healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and to ensure this content and any recommended products are safe and appropriate for your own medical and physical condition.   Cat's hope is that you'll look into resources and go see your doctor if you feel compelled to do so. There is a prevalent myth that there's nothing you can do about Alzheimer's, and this simply isn't true.   Part II: Dementia and Alzheimer's   Dementia Dementia is not a specific disease. It's an overall term that describes a group of symptoms including memory loss and loss of cognitive abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer's disease is a degenerative brain disease and the most common form of dementia, accounting for 60-80% of dementia cases.   Part III: Protecting and Nourishing Your Brain   What to Eat and What to Avoid (listen here to learn what to eat and what not).   Part IV: Making Changes Stick   What's one change you feel compelled to make based on what you learned today?   Protect Your Business by Protecting Your Most Valuable Asset By Cat Hoke cat@cathoke.com | http://www.cathoke.com   #dementia #alzheimers #brainfog #brainfunction #congnitivefunction #cognition #disease #cognitivedecline #brainhealth #cognitivefix #congnitivehack #diet #bestdietforbrain #nobrainer #peterattia #brainfood #bebrainfit #brainfitness #Sleepbetter #eatgreens    Resources The XX Brain: The Groundbreaking Science Empowering Women to Maximize Cognitive Health and Prevent Alzheimer's Disease by Lisa Mosconi PhD Alzheimer's Treatment Alzheimer's Prevention: A Patient and Family Guide by Dr. Richard S Iscaacson MD Brain Food: The Surprising Science of Eating for Cognitive Power by Lisa Mosconi PhD Lisa Mosconi's website  Alzheimer's Universe (Up-to-date information on Alzheimer's disease prevention, treatment and caregiving) Be Brain Fit (Email subscription) Cognitive Vitality (Information on foods and supplements) ConsumerLab.com(Independent tests and evaluations of health and nutrition products)  Alzheimer's Association (Guides on Alzheimer's and dementia) Brain Health Registry (Questionnaires and tests to help advance research and clinical trials) The Peter Attia Drive Podcast (A deep-dive podcast focusing on maximizing longevity, physical, cognitive, and emotional health) Oura Ring(Monitors sleep, activity, temperature, stress, heart rate, etc.) Supplements Cat Uses Vitamin D Fish Oil Theracurmin Environmental Working Group (EWG) (Research and education to help consumers make smart, healthy choices) Yuka App (food and cosmetics scanner that deciphers ingredients and their health impact) Sleep Smarter: 21 Essential Strategies to Sleep Your Way to a Better Body, Better Health, and Bigger Success by Shawn Stevenson Sleep Master Sleep Mask

Learn about the incredible and unique marine life that lives here. Hear about how coastal First Nations are leading the process with the Canadian and BC governments to create a marine protected area (MPAs) network for the region. Thanks to people like you advocating for strong ocean protection, we have a plan to build on the existing three MPAs here to create a whole network of protected areas to further support important habitats. These connected MPAs increase the resilience to impacts and protect the health of the Great Bear Sea for present and future generations.

Our guest today works with the RainCoast Conservation Foundation - a non-profit, empowered by research to protect the lands, waters, and wildlife of coastal British Columbia Please welcome Chelsea Greer to IMPACT!   If you like what we are doing please like, share and subscribe to IMPACT    This episode is sponsored by Hollyhock -  dedicated to helping create a better future via education and personal sharing.  www.hollyhock.ca   Full Bio: Chelsea Greer is an emerging conservation scientist with an interest in animal ethics and coexistence. She holds a MSc in Geography from the University of Calgary and a BSc in Applied Animal Biology from the University of British Columbia.    Chelsea currently works with Raincoast Conservation Foundation - a non-profit organization made up of a team of conservationists and scientists empowered by our research to protect the lands, waters, and wildlife of coastal British Columbia.    Chelsea joined the Raincoast team in 2021 to help develop the Wolf Conservation Program and continues to coordinate and deliver the program's various initiatives. Raincoast's wolf initiatives are working toward implementation of provincial policy that respects the welfare of wolves and their ecological role. This includes putting an end to the killing of wolves in BC for the purposes of predator control, trophy, and perceived competition for shared prey.    Raincoast is currently raising funds to stop commercial trophy hunting in more than a quarter of the Great Bear Rainforest in BC. Purchasing the Southern Great Bear Rainforest Tenure, which covers 18,239 km2, protects wolves and dozens of other species from being commercially trophy hunted because it gives Raincoast the exclusive rights to commercially guide trophy hunters. Raincoast currently controls the commercial hunting rights in five tenures, more than 38,000 km2 of the BC coast – an area larger than Vancouver Island or the entire country of Belgium.   ● Safeguarding Coastal Carnivores in the Southern Great Bear Rainforest tenure: https://www.raincoast.org/trophy-hunt/   ● Take action to protect BC Wolves: https://www.raincoast.org/wolves/   Social platforms: ● Twitter: @chelgreer @raincoast ● Instagram: @raincoastconservation ● Website: www.raincoast.org ● Email: chelsea@raincoast.org www.raincoast.eco/link/

Foundation Training was born of out of necessity. In 2007 Eric Goodman was in his last year of chiropractic school gaining knowledge and skills but remaining debilitated by back pain that had followed him for years. He was advised to get spinal fusion surgery, but after deeply considering the effectiveness and physical toll it would take, declined this option. He instead worked to create a better solution. This choice became the catalyst for his life's work which is known around the globe as Foundation Training - No more back pain - Ever.  Please Welcome our IMPACT guest Dr. Eric Goodman!   If you like what we are doing please like, share and subscribe to our IMPACT Podcast.   This weekend episode is sponsored by:    Creekside Health,  when in Whistler try Creekside health with Dominique Valle and here awesome team https://www.creeksidehealth.ca and by the by the Pelly Clinic – in North Vancouver, Focusing on your body's inate potential to live a life of total wellness http://thepellyclinic.ca   https://www.foundationtraining.com @foundationtraining   #foundationtraining #dr.ericgoodman #backpain #nobackpain #nomorebackpain #nomorepain
