In this enlightening episode of The Metabolic Link, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino sits down with Dr. Mary Newport to delve into the world of Alzheimer's disease, discussing her pioneering work with ketogenic metabolic therapy. Dr. Newport shares her personal and inspiring journey with her husband, Steve, whose battle with early-onset Alzheimer's led her to discover the life-changing effects of MCT and coconut oil. Dr. Newport also explores the crucial role of nutrition in managing Alzheimer's, the potential of exogenous ketones, and the intriguing hypothesis that links infections to the disease.
