Podcast appearances and mentions of Mary T Newport

Episode 2498 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich speaks with Dr. Mary Newport and they discuss the misconceptions about fats and Ancel Keys, the benefits of coconut and MCT oil, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/06/misconceptions-about-fats-dr-mary-newport-episode-2498 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Misconceptions About Fats Dr. Mary Newport is driven to find answers and continuously does research. (2:00) Vinnie asks her opinion regarding an Instagram post he made about cholesterol. (9:00) Cholesterol is an important part of the cellular system in our bodies. The buildup of plaques is because of damage caused by inflammation. She explains the different kinds of fats and misconceptions about fats due to Ancelk Keys' conclusions.   Infectious diseases (Spanish flu, pneumonia, tuberculosis, etc) used to lead to premature death over heart disease. (18:00) However in the early 1900s that changed when things like penicillin were discovered and developed. Mary's latest study has to do with Ancel Keys. (27:00) She reviews some of his studies and the conclusions he came to. Your body will make cholesterol if you don't give it enough. (34:00) Also in the 1950s sweeteners entered the marketplace. (50:00) The sugar industry had a specific strategy to promote a low-fat diet. They paid off researchers to write articles that downplayed the effects of sugar on nutrition. Dr Newport discusses an additional study from 1963 that used “fabricated fat-modified foods.” (54:00) The diet centered around being low-fat. The Benefits of Coconut Oil She has done a recent study on coconut oil. (1:02:00) MCT oil is extracted from coconut oil and turns to ketones quicker than regular coconut oil. Both are remarkably healthy for you. She logged differences among participants. Many had improvements in cognition, mood, depression, and other symptoms.

In this video Dr Newport talks about some of the trials which are using MCT and ketogenic diets to address mild cognitive impairment and Parkinson's. Dr Newport's web page https://coconutketones.com/ Mary T. Newport, M.D. became a messenger in 2008 when she found a nutritional intervention that supplied ketones as alternative fuel for the brain for her husband Steve Newport with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. Steve responded dramatically to consuming medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) from coconut oil which produce ketones when consumed. Two years later he improved again in a pilot study of one person consuming the Veech ketone ester…this ester added twenty more months of stability. Together these solutions gave him nearly four more better-quality years. Dr Newport practiced neonatology in Florida for 30 years and served as founding medical director for two newborn intensive care units in the Tampa Bay area. After taking some time off to care for Steve, she resumed medical practice at the opposite end of the spectrum and now makes home visits with people who have chronic conditions.

Taking control of your lifestyle can profoundly affect your brain health. From diet to exercise and stress management - every choice we make affects our mental well-being. What decisions will you make?   In this episode of This Is Getting Old: Moving Towards an Age-Friendly World, we're graced by the spectacular Dr Mary T. Newport, armed with the lowdown on ketones, diet, and lifestyle to keep you in tip-top cognitive shape.  Eager to crack the code on healthy brain aging and Alzheimer's prevention? My guest today has a treasure trove of tips to transform you into an ageless wonder! Huzzah!  Key points covered in this episode:  ✔️ From Gray Matter to Great Matter: Dr Mary T. Newport's Expertise on Ketones' Role in Brain Longevity   Meet Dr Mary Newport who earned her degrees from Xavier University and the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and practiced clinically in  pediatrics and neonatology. In 2008, she began combining coconut and MCT oil, unleashing its ketogenic powers to battle her husband Steve's early-onset Alzheimer's. Their brave fight resulted in an impressive four extra years of quality life.  But Mary didn't stop there. Unsatisfied with just one success story, she penned "Clearly Keto for Healthy Brain Aging and Alzheimer's Prevention" to wield a whole food Mediterranean-style ketogenic diet and other clever lifestyle tricks to help more brains outsmart Alzheimer's and its dastardly dementia cronies.  ✔️ The Role of Choline  It's very important to try to get as many of your vitamins as much as possible from the foods that you eat. If you're on, say, a low carb diet and you make it a Mediterranean Diet, you'll get most of the vitamins that you need, but you might not get enough. And a lot of people do not get enough of certain nutrients like choline.  Most people may not have any idea what choline is, but choline is part of acetylcholine, it's a neurotransmitter that's important to learning and memory. It's also extremely important component of cell membranes throughout your body and especially abundant in the brain.  ✔️Get Your Vaccines  There are studies showing that vaccines recommended for adults 65 and older can reduce your risk of dementia. These include the flu vaccine and the pneumococcal vaccine for pneumonia - it covers the most common form of (bacterial) pneumonia.   There are people with COVID 19 that have neurological effects, effects on their nervous system and on their brain that have been have do go on to develop brain fog and dementia after having COVID; so stay current with the recommendations for this vaccine and any boosters.  ✔️Minimize your risk of head injuries  We want to avoid any head injuries -  and it's very common for people to fall. If you get a head injury, or a concussion, basically you lose consciousness or there's some bleeding in that area of the brain. Plaques and tangles will form in that injury, very similar to what happens to Alzheimer's disease.  ✔️ Where to learn more about Dr. Newport  Get in touch with Dr Mary Newport via email at ketones08@gmail.com or through social media at Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Taking proactive steps towards leading this kind of life could help reduce one's risk for developing dementia in their later years. Join us for an enlightening episode of This Is Getting Old: Moving Towards An Age-Friendly World, where renowned medical expert Dr. Mary T. Newport will share her wisdom on how you can keep your brain young and active!  With tips ranging from diet changes to lifestyle adjustments, she'll explain all the ways that Ketones, Diet & Lifestyle can help prevent Alzheimer's Disease. Don't miss this chance to join in our quest towards becoming truly age-friendly! Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ The Ketones Guru: Dr. Mary T. Newport and Her Passion for Brain Health After graduating from two esteemed universities and training in pediatrics and neonatology, Mary Newport M.D.'s career came full circle when she later specialized in hospice care.  ✔️ How Important Is Exercise For A Healthy Brain? Keeping your brain healthy as you age is no small feat, and exercise plays an integral role in that!  ✔️ Slumber Secrets: Getting The Ideal Amount Of Sleep And Quality Restful Nights New studies indicate that seven to eight hours of sleep a night is the optimal amount for proper functioning.  Also Sleep Hygiene has become increasingly important, as it refers to activities and habits surrounding sleep that may improve the overall quality of rest.  ✔️ Turning the Tables on Life's Risk Factors: You Have the Power to Change Them BP control, staying cognitively active, socially engaged, reducing stress if possible, correcting hearing and vision, and some obvious risk factors like smoking and overconsuming alcohol are all areas we can work on to help reduce our risk of Alzheimer's and dementia.  But even more importantly, it is essential to understand and address medications. Most of the approved medications for Alzheimer's try to increase acetylcholine. So if you're taking an anticholinergic medication at the same time that you're taking a medication to try to increase acetylcholine, you're doing yourself a big disservice. ✔️ The Mystery of Ketones Unveiled: Answers to Your Burning Questions Get the latest scoop on culinary medicine from its foremost expert, Dr. Mary Newport!

Ketones are naturally produced in the body and play an important role in brain health. When the body doesn't have enough carbohydrates to use for energy, it begins to break down stored fat cells into ketones which can be used as a source of fuel instead.  A diet that is high in fats and low in carbohydrates is referred to as a ketogenic diet and is associated with improved cognitive functioning and reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease in older adults. On another This Is Getting Old: Moving Towards an Age-Friendly World episode, we welcome Mary T. Newport, M.D. to the show - she's bringing her medical expertise and experience on ketones, diet & lifestyle. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Dr. Mary T. Newport: The Expert on Ketones and Healthy Brain Aging Mary Newport, M.D. graduated from Xavier University and the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. She trained in pediatrics at Children's Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, and in neonatology at the Medical University Hospital in Charleston, South Carolina. More recently, she practiced at the opposite end of the spectrum, providing hospice care and health-risk assessments.  In 2008, a ketogenic nutritional intervention with coconut and medium-chain triglyceride oil dramatically helped her husband Steve Newport, who had early-onset Alzheimer's disease, resulting in nearly four better quality years. Her book Clearly Keto for Healthy Brain Aging and Alzheimer's Prevention focuses on a whole food ketogenic Mediterranean-style diet and other lifestyle modifications to help maintain brain health and prevent Alzheimer's and other dementias. ✔️ From Newborns to Old Age: Dr. Newport's Fascination With Ketones and Alzheimer's Prevention For 30 years, Dr Mary Newport practiced in Intensive Care. When her husband Steve  was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's, she became his caregiver. She cared for him through the late stages of his disease until he passed away.  During this time she began to investigate ways to improve his cognition and slow down progression of the disease. When Dr. Mary T. Newport first read a 2006 paper linking the Mediterranean diet to longer life expectancy for those with Alzheimer's, she was intrigued by the potential impact of nutrition on this condition and immediately invested in healthier eating habits based on that research. This experience sparked an interest in her to further explore ketones and lifestyle interventions related to brain health and Alzheimer's prevention.  She now shares her knowledge as an expert on this topic, in her book and through her work helping others understand the power of diet in maintaining brain health. ✔️ Alzheimer's Reversal: Is It Possible? Alzheimer's experts now say that 30-40% of Alzheimer's and dementia cases could be prevented by making lifestyle changes, and a healthy diet is at the top of that list. Moreover, prediabetes and diabetes are major risk factors for Alzheimer's. The Mediterranean diet is a pattern of eating inspired by the traditional cuisines of countries that line the Mediterranean Sea. It emphasizes plant-based foods, such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts and legumes, and olive oil. It also includes moderate amounts of fish, dairy products (mostly yogurt or cheese), poultry and eggs. Eating a low-carb Mediterranean diet can help address the problems of poor glucose uptake, the brain-energy gap, and inflammation in the aging brain which are accelerated in Alzheimer's. A low-carb Mediterranean diet has the benefit of keeping blood sugar levels more stable over time and providing energy from fat to fuel our cells. The high intake of antioxidant-rich foods, including fruits and vegetables, is thought to help minimize inflammation in the brain which can contribute to Alzheimer's. ✔️ Keto-Boost Your Brain: The Key To Maintaining Cognitive Health Ketones come from fat when we are fasting, but also from eating a low-carb higher-fat ketogenic diet, which has been used to treat epilepsy for 100 years, but is used now for many other conditions, like controlling blood sugar in people with diabetes, which is a major risk factor for Alzheimer's, and that this diet shows promise in improving people with Alzheimer's and other dementias, etc. Some other ways to increase ketones are taking coconut oil, MCT oil, overnight fasting, exercise, and ketone supplements.   ✔️ Take Control Of Your Brain Health! The most important change a person can make to enjoy healthy aging is to steer away from sugary, starchy, and highly processed foods and eat a healthy whole-food diet. ------------ ✔️ Have Questions About The Science Behind Ketones?  Connect with Dr. Mary Newport, the authority on all things culinary medicine!

Lower risk of dementia found among people with higher carotenoid levels National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging, May 6 2022.  An article appearing on in Neurology® reported an association between higher levels of several carotenoids and a lower risk of developing Alzheimer disease and other dementias during a 16 to 17-year average period. Carotenoids are a family of yellow to red plant pigments, including beta-carotene, which have an antioxidant effect.  Participants whose levels of the carotenoids lutein, zeaxanthin and beta-cryptoxanthin were highest were likelier to develop dementia later in life than individuals with lower levels. Among those aged 65 and older upon enrollment, each approximate 15.4 micromole per liter increase in lutein and zeaxanthin was associated with a 7% decrease in dementia risk during follow-up. For beta-cryptoxanthin, each 8.6 micromole per liter increase was associated with a 14% reduction among those older than 45 at the beginning of the study.  “Further studies are needed to test whether adding these antioxidants can help protect the brain from dementia,” Dr Beydoun concluded.     A Mediterranean-style diet decreases the levels of the inflammatory marker called C-reactive protein University of Bologna (Italy), May 3, 2022    Sticking to a Mediterranean style diet decreases the levels of the inflammatory marker called C-reative protein, linked to ageing, finds the EU funded project NU-AGE.  Another positive effect of this diet was that the rate of bone loss in people with osteoporosis was reduced. Other parameters such as insulin sensitivity, cardiovascular health, digestive health and quality of life are yet to be analysed.   This is the first project that goes in such depths into the effects of the Mediterranean diet on health of elderly population. We are using the most powerful and advanced techniques including metabolomics, transcriptomics, genomics and the analysis of the gut microbiota to understand what effect, the Mediterranean style diet has on the population of over 65 years old" said prof. Claudio Franceschi, project coordinator from the University of Bologna, Italy.   The project was conducted in five European countries: France, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and the UK and involved 1142 participants. There are differences between men and women as well as among participants coming from the different countries. Volunteers from five countries differed in genetics, body composition, compliance to the study, response to diet, blood measurements, cytomegalovirus positivity and inflammatory parameters.       Resveratrol's blood pressure benefits may pass from mother to child University of Alberta and University of Adelaide, May 4, 2022   Hereditary hypertension may not pass the generations if the mother is given resveratrol supplements during pregnancy, suggests a new study with lab rats. Offspring of spontaneously hypertensive rats were found to be protected from elevated blood pressure once they reached adulthood if their mothers had received resveratrol supplementation during pregnancy.   “Maternal perinatal resveratrol supplementation prevented the onset of hypertension in adult offspring  and nitric oxide synthase inhibition normalized these blood pressure differences, suggesting improved nitric oxide bioavailability underlies the hemodynamic alterations,” wrote the researchers in the journal Hypertension .   The new study supplemented the diets of spontaneously hypertensive female rats with 0 or 4 g/kg diet of resveratrol from gestational day 0.5 until postnatal day 21. The offspring of these rats were then followed to adulthood.   Results showed that the adult offspring had significantly lower blood pressure than their mothers. Additional tests indicated that the potential blood pressure lowering activity observed in the resveratrol-fed animals was not linked to nitric oxide       Krill oil may be beneficial to muscle function and size in healthy people over the age of 65 University of Glasgow (Scotland), May 6, 2022   The study—led by the University of Glasgow's Institute of Cardiovascular and Medical Sciences (ICAMS) and published in Clinical Nutrition—found that krill oil supplementation of four grams per day could have beneficial effects on skeletal muscle function and size in this age group. The research found that healthy adult participants who had received daily krill oil supplementation for six months showed statistically and clinically significant increases in muscle function and size. Krill oil contains high concentrations of the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA, which previous scientific studies have shown are important nutrients for the body as it ages. The randomized, double blind, controlled trial included 102 men and women all above 65 years of age. The participants were relatively inactive to engaging in less than one hour of self-reported exercise each week on entry to the study. The study found that participants receiving daily krill oil supplements showed the following improvements (from baseline) at the end of the study: Increase in thigh muscle strength (9.3%), grip strength (10.9%) and thigh muscle thickness (3.5%), relative to control group. Increase in red blood cell fatty acid profile for EPA 214%, DHA 36% and the omega-3 index 61%, relative to control group. Increased M-Wave of 17% (relative to the control group), which shows the excitability of muscle membranes.       New research shows cannabis flower is effective for treating fatigue University of New Mexico, May 6, 2022 Researchers at The University of New Mexico have used a mobile software app to measure the effects of consuming different types of common and commercially available cannabis flower products on fatigue levels in real-time. As part of the study, researchers showed that over 91 percent of people in the study sample that used cannabis flower to treat fatigue reported symptom improvement.  In their recent study, titled "The Effects of Consuming Cannabis Flower for Treatment of Fatigue," published in the journal Medical Cannabis and Cannabinoids, the UNM researchers showed that using cannabis results in immediate improvement for feelings of fatigue in the majority of users. This was the first large-scale study to show that on average, people are likely to experience a 3.5 point improvement of feelings of fatigue on a 0-10 scale after combusting cannabis flower products The study was based on data from 3,922 cannabis self-administration sessions recorded by 1,224 people.  "One of the most surprising outcomes of this study is that cannabis, in general, yielded improvements in symptoms of fatigue, rather than just a subset of products, such as those with higher THC or CBD levels or products characterized as sativa rather than indica," said co-author and Associate Professor Sarah Stith. "We're excited to see real-world data and studies support the use of cannabinoids for helping individuals manage their fatigue and energy levels," says Tyler Dautrich. "This obviously has implications for patients experiencing fatigue as a symptom of their medical condition, but we also feel this can lead to healthier options to the current energy drink and supplement market."   Study: Coconut oil contains molecules found to be effective against coronavirus Ateneo de Manila University (Philippines), May 2, 2022 New research out of the Philippines has uncovered yet another potentially viable candidate for treating and preventing the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) without the need for pharmaceuticals or vaccines, and it is lovingly known to many of our readers as coconut oil. Dr. Fabian M. Dayrit, PhD, from Ateneo de Manila University, along with the help of Dr. Mary T. Newport, MD, from Spring Hill Neonatology in Florida, looked at the known antiviral benefits of coconut oil to see if they may also apply to the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). Lauric acid (C12), along with its derivative monolaurin, has been known for many years to possess natural antiviral activity. A medium-chain fatty acid that comprises about 50 percent of coconut oil's makeup, lauric acid is widely recognized as a “super” nutrient, as is monolaurin, which is produced by the body's own enzymes upon ingestion of coconut oil. These nutrients work in tandem to disintegrate the “envelopes” that surround viruses, and this includes the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). These two nutrients can also inhibit late-stage maturation in the replicative cycle of viruses, as well as prevent the binding of viral proteins to the host cell membrane. Another antiviral compound found in coconut oil that also plays a protective role is capric acid (C10), along with its derivative monocaprin. Though it only makes up about seven percent of coconut oil, capric acid has shown effectiveness against HIV-1, which is important because evidence has emerged to suggest that the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) may contain HIV DNA.

Newport, MD"Alzheimer's Solution" by Dean & Ayesha Sherzai, MD

[include file=get-in-itunes.html]Today we had the wonderful opportunity to have Dr. Mary Newport on the show and we discussed many issues regarding Alzheimer's Disease. Her husband was diagnosed with this condition about 5 years ago and she has had tremendous success in reversing his illness with the use of MCT oil and coconut oil respectively. From what I'm able to gather MCT Oil (medium chain triglyceride) is a more highly concentrated form of the MCT oil that naturally occurs in coconut oil. We've heard of people having less than ideal success with coconut oil. I really wanted to stress this during the interview with Dr. Mary Newport. There can be many many reasons for this. Below I'll give some ideas as to why this could be. But before I do, you have to realize that in order to revers Alzheimer's Disease you have to find out what's causing it for you or your loved one and do many different things. Simply taking MCT oil isn't enough. You'll want to look at any foods that can cause a raise in blood sugars (because Alzheimer's Disease has now been associated with Diabetes and it's even called Type 3 Diabetes of the brain) in the body and as a result inflammation. You'll also want to look at cell phones and how they weaken the blood brain barrier and as a result can allow toxins into the brain that normally would be blocked if this barrier weren't weakened by EMF radiation coming from cell phones. You'l also want to consider things like sweating out heavy metals and toxins that get trapped in the brain. Zeolites can be very effective in this regard as well. If you want to learn more about how zeolites work, listen to our show with Eddie Stone. High doses of Vitamin C might be very effective as well. Reducing your exposures to mercury and other toxins. Do you have metal fillings or do you eat a lot of fish? You might want to consider doing chelation therapy in order to pull that out of your body. Then on top of all that you have to look at the coconut oil itself. Did you combine it with MCT oil like Dr. Newport did? Did you take enough of it each day? She recommends 7-9 table spoons per day for a number of months. Did you buy raw coconut oil that was organic and cold processed? How about medications? We don't tell anybody to get off any pharmaceutical medications but I would think they would inhibit the ability for the MCT oil to work properly. Adding to this I would look at colonics, enemas and even colon cleanses like the Clean Program or Ejuva colon cleanse to aid the body in detoxification on all levels. We discuss the following and so much more: Why the ketogenic diet helps with neurological diseases Some MCT oil is derived from corn? Is Keytone Ester 10x stronger than coconut oil? Does medication block the affects of MCT oil? The myth that coconut oil raises bad cholesterol and increases weight Why type of coconut oil should you take? How much and how often should you take coconut oil? Other applications for MCT Oil How Insulin prevents brain cells from accepting glucose How vitamin c and sweating might help detox heavy metals And so much more! What if there were a cure for Alzheimer's Disease? There might be.

Lʹarbre qui donne la noix de coco, le Cocos nucifera, est une sorte de palmier de la famille des Arécacées. Il peut mesurer 30 mètres de haut. Le fruit qui pèse entre 1 et 2 kg, flotte sur lʹeau de la mer, poussé sur les rivages par les vagues, il germe sur un rivage pour donner un cocotier. Cette dissémination brouille les pistes pour déterminer lʹorigine de la plante: Malaisie? Îles de lʹocéan pacifique? La controverse dure toujours. La longévité de la plante est grande: plus dʹun siècle. Marco Polo en a parlé lors de son voyage à Sumatra 1280. Les premières noix importées en Europe par cargos entiers vers 1500 par Vasco de Gamma. La noix de coco fraîche contient de lʹeau de coco à ne pas confondre avec le lait. Lʹeau, claire et désaltérante, est riche en éléments minéraux pas très sucrés. Le lait est de la pulpe blanche, râpée et pressée. Il est riche en lipides (20%), très énergétique. La graisse de coco est de lʹhuile de coco, solide ou semi-solide à t° ordinaire. Elle est utilisée en cuisine. Elle contient des glycols, de la vitamine E, mais attention le taux dʹacides gras saturés risque dʹaugmenter le mauvais cholestérol. Cette graisse blanche est antibactérienne et anti-inflammatoire. Elle permet de lutter contre la peau sèche, les ampoules, les hémorroïdes ou lʹacné (avec quelques gouttes de ravintsara). Le livre du Dr Mary T. Newport, qui a soigné son mari contre Alzheimer avec cette huile de coco, prête à controverses.

                                  Mary T Newport, M.D.                                    Brief Biography and Links  Mary Newport, M.D. was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, graduated from Xavier University (humanities and pre-medicine) and University of Cincinnati College of Medicine.  She completed her training in pediatrics at Children's Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, and in neonatology at the Medical University Hospital in Charleston, South Carolina, and is board certified in pediatrics and neonatology, the care of sick and premature newborns. She practiced neonatology for thirty years and was founding medical director for two newborn intensive care units in the Tampa Bay area of Florida.   More recently, she has gained experience at the opposite end of the spectrum while making home visits to people with a variety of chronic illnesses, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other dementias and neurological conditions.  In 2008, she implemented a ketogenic nutritional intervention with coconut and medium-chain triglyceride oil that dramatically helped her husband Steve Newport, who had early-onset Alzheimer's disease.  In 2010, she guided her husband through the first pilot study of the betahydroxybutyrate/butanediol ketone ester in a person with Alzheimer's and co-authored a case report published in Alzheimer's and Dementia in 2015 with Dr. Richard Veech and others. Her husband lost his battle with Alzheimer's and Lewy Body dementia in 2016 and Dr. Newport carries on his legacy as an author of three books and international speaker on ketones as an alternative fuel for the brain.  Her latest book is entitled The Complete Book of Ketones: A Practical Guide to Ketogenic Diets and Ketone Supplements.  Dr. Newport is a Certified Ketogenic Nutrition Specialist through the American Society of Nutrition and is currently working on a new book focusing on ketogenic strategies and lifestyle modifications to help prevent or slow down progression of Alzheimer's and other neurological conditions.   Books: The Complete Book of Ketones: A Practical Guide to Ketogenic Diets and Ketone Supplements (2019)    Amazon Books: https://amzn.to/2AxBcLp  The Coconut Oil and Low Carb Solution for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Other Diseases (2015)  Amazon Books: https://amzn.to/2BaClJE  Alzheimer's Disease: What If There Was a Cure?  The Story of Ketones.

Studies may suggest that notable improvements can be gained with consistent use. Press play to learn: How MTC oil can benefit the brain Why studies involving oil are difficult to conduct How ketones can be converted and used in the body Author Mary T. Newport shares her story of success with treating the effects of early-onset Alzheimer's with MCT and coconut oil. Ketones can significantly impact brain function and can be found in oils you may already have lying around your house. As similarly used in newborn baby formula, MCT oil, concentrated from coconut oil, can lead to a sustained improvement in brain function. Through anti-inflammatory properties and many other benefits, MCT and coconut oil show promise in deciphering some of the mysteries surrounding dementia. New research is aimed at further delaying cognitive impairment or preventing it altogether. For more information, visit coconutketones.com. Episode also available on Apple Podcasts: apple.co/30PvU9C

Mary T. Newport, MD is a physician, caregiver, author, and international speaker. Her website is packed with useful information and can be viewed at (coconutketones.com). Dr. Newport delivers an insightful overview of nutrition for health. Dr. Newport became a ketone enthusiast and nutrition advocate after seeing the benefits in her husband. She provided ketones as alternative fuel for the brain to Steve Newport, her husband, to help with his early-onset Alzheimer's disease diagnosed at the age of 54. Her books are considered to be invaluable for those who are seeking answers about health. Dr. Newport is the author of Alzheimer's Disease: What If There Was a Cure? The Story of Ketones as well as The Coconut Oil and Low-Carb Solution for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Other Diseases: A Step-by-Step Guide to Using Diet and a High-Energy Food to Protect and Nourish the Brain. Ketones can be an alternative fuel to sugar for your brain and body. The ketogenic diet and ketone supplements can offer incredible benefits to almost everyone for their general health and may also provide specific help for those who suffer with diabetes, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS, MS, cancer, and epilepsy. The nutrition expert talks about coconut oil, MCT oil, and ketone esters, and their many various benefits for the body. Dr. Newport recounts actual experiences with her husband that showed incredible improvements in his condition after initiating treatment, such as his ability to read again without the words, as he stated, “shaking on the page,” looking pixelated, moving about.  Dr. Newport talks about how she and her husband transitioned to a more Mediterranean style of diet with lower carbs and more unrefined whole grains. Additionally, she talks about the benefit of Omega 3 and other supplements that could produce real results. She refers to her husband's recovery as a light that truly came back on in his brain. She discusses her book in detail and how her husband's story, as recounted by him, made a significant impact in the Alzheimer's community. She provides extensive details about the ways people can utilize nutrition to improve health, and she provides an overview of her world travels, speaking about disease and treatment via nutritional supplementation and diet. As she states, Alzheimer's is on the rise all over the world, and even in countries where diets are traditionally very good. She points to sweets and carbs as possibly being the reason for the rise in disease. Additionally, she talks about the toxicity of trans fats that are used again and again for cooking. Ultimately, as she states, the trend is not a good one, as healthy nutrition is less than exemplary in many nations around the world. Wrapping up her discussion, Dr. Newport discusses some simple things that all of us can do to improve memory and cognition, such as eliminating sugary drinks, reducing starchy foots, and lowering carbs.
