We have this white powder in front of me. You got a big smile on your face. >> I do because I don't care who you are,
00:00:05
you should definitely be having this. So, let's talk about creatine. Phenomenal research shows you can
00:00:11
creatine your way out of sleep deprivation. It can protect your brain against a concussion, stroke, from
00:00:16
stress. And there was a study done on Alzheimer's disease patients. And they
00:00:20
found that patients not only preserved their cognitive functions, but they had more energy and they were able to
00:00:27
exercise more. And I know this because I'm a clinician and over the last decade
00:00:32
I've been surrounded by the greatest neurosurgeons in the world studying the
00:00:36
brain. And so I'm here to tackle one disease and that is Alzheimer's because
00:00:40
it generally starts in our 30s and 60 million people worldwide have Alzheimer's. 70% being women. And I get
00:00:48
angry and I get passionate because women have been lied to. They've been underrepresented. They downplay their
00:00:55
symptoms or they're too scared to ask their doctor for advice. And what people
00:00:58
don't really know is that it is a preventable disease, but it's like endstage cancer. Once you get the
00:01:04
diagnosis, there is no cure. And the fact that so many people are at the mercy of a disease that is preventable
00:01:11
is not okay with me. And I don't think people understand these things. Like people don't really know that we're
00:01:16
becoming more sedentary, which is a disease. And there was a study that was done on this that showed that if you do
00:01:22
10 air squats every hour, this can compensate for your sedentary lifestyle. And then we have several lifestyle
00:01:28
factors that can lower your risk of getting Alzheimer's disease, as well as showing you what 5 minutes a day can do
00:01:34
for your brain performance just using a tennis ball and an eye patch.
