[quote=Anonymous]I had this around 52. Hormones were not an option for me. Look at the research on insulin resistance and dementia. I really think what was happening for me is that I was becoming very insulin resistant with the shift in hormones. I looked at Jason Fung and Dale Bresden, and basically took myself to a kind of Whole 30/intermittent fasting place. So very low on carbs, no sugar, high in vegetables, proteins, olive oil, etc. Dr. Fung is a genius at insulin resistance and what hunger is, in my opinion - he just changed my outlook. This was a very gradual process for me to get to (for example, I wasn't really thriving as a vegetarian - both because dairy is highly inflammatory to me, and also it was impossible to meet my anemia/protein needs, so this changed). Once I fully implemented, however, I went from sitting in my office not able to draw a clock (and I'm a researcher, my mind is my bread and butter), not able to remember what projects I was working on, being scared to run into people and not know who they were, to a person who can efficiently manage several research projects, keep track of them and keep them on course and meaningful. When I got better, I realized I had been declining for about 5 years, so not only did I feel better, but I was performing better than I had been at 47. Highly recommend, but I was very, very motivated (still am).[/quote]
