Alzheimer's Disease and Acetylcholine

Image
Alzheimer's disease is directly related to slowing down the activity of your brain, which is regulated by the brain chemical, acetylcholine. The good news is that I've seen many cases of significant progress achieved, simply by following an acetylcholine protocol, as outlined in my book, The Edge Effect. A Remarkable Story of Full Recovery: a 55 year-old gentleman came to me with a memory loss issue of a 70 year-old man. Three years later, with an acetylcholine protocol, his memory was restored to that of a 35 year-old. ​ With Alzheimer's disease, as with any other condition affecting your mind and body, your health is in your hands. If you have any concern that you might be a candidate for this devastating disease, seek treatment as early as possible. We at PATH Medical can help.

Dopamine and Your Metabolism - By Dr. Eric R. Braverman

Image
As you get older, your metabolism naturally slows down. Your metabolism is determined by a massive genetic equation, which takes into account your age and your current health. This equation looks like this:   Rate of Metabolism = Your hormones [growth hormones, estrogen, testosterone] X Your bone strength, muscle strength, and active neurons [working brain chemistry] ÷ The number of diseases you currently have ​ As you age, your hormones drop, muscle is lost, bone density is lost, and your brain cells fizzle. At the same time you accumulate illnesses. All of these factor into your metabolic rate. However, by reversing these individual health issues, you can increase your metabolism, feel younger, and lose weight.   When you were young, the food you ate supported your growing brain and body. Yet once you reached your final adult height, you may have experienced weight gain even when you were eating the exact same foods in the same quantities.  The proble...

Dopamine and Cortisol

Image
  THE CORTISOL EQUATION: LOW DOPAMINE = BIG BELLY FAT = A HEAVY BURDEN TO CARRY FOR ​BOTH BRAIN AND BODY When you have a dopamine deficiency, the body naturally increases the production of the hormone cortisol. Cortisol is the backup energy hormone; it provides us with additional power so the brain and body can continue to function without the right levels of dopamine. Cortisol is also released when you are under stress, whether or not your dopamine is low. But, when you are stressed, you naturally burn more dopamine, which is why the cortisol is released. While cortisol can be helpful, I call it the obesity hormone. Even though it effectively keeps your brain running, it does not improve your dopamine levels. It actually forces your metabolism to slow down, because when brain energy falters (low dopamine), the body is forced to send up to the brain its reserve units to pick up the slack, in the form of steroid hormones (cortisol) from the adrenal glands. The cortisol in...
