You read that right, a recipe for Alzheimer’s. This week on Schauer Thoughts we’re doubling back on a previous episode with some new and very interesting information!
Join me on a journey through the body to the brain and out again and please, tip your waiter.
“Why is this caption so short?”
Because I have limited letter allowance and a lot of sources.
86 that attitude and enjoy!
Previous episode I keep referring to:
July 22, “The Good, The Bad, the Incredibly Nuanced”

Books:
A Silent Fire: The Story of Inflammation, Diet & Disease - Shilpa Ravella
Loved this book, 10/10. Most of my information on inflammation, LDL cholesterol, fatty acids (long chain vs short chain) and much more I discuss can be found in this book broken down with exquisite detail.
The Human Brain Book: A Visual Guide to Structure and Function - Rita Carter
Anything I mentioned about brain functioning, signaling, neurotransmitters, olfaction, etc. can be found in this book. I would highly recommend this one if you’re looking to learn a lot on the brain.
Pg. 204 - the adult brain
Pg. 206 - the aging brain
Pg. 208 & 209 - Parkinsons, Dementia, & Alzheimer’s information
Plastic: The Secret History and Shocking Future of Big Oil’s Biggest Bet - Beth Gardiner
All of the information on the history of plastic, microplastics in the brain and body, as well as petrochemical points are in this book.
The Menopause Brain: New Science Empowers Women to Navigate the Pivotal Transition with Knowledge and Confidence - Lisa Mosconi, PhD
Doctored: Fraud, Arrogance, and Tragedy in the Quest to Cure Alzheimer’s - Charlies Piller
Loving this book so far, it’s also great at breaking down the basics of Alzheimer’s and treatment directions if you’d like to know more.

Side note, if you’re in LA and want to learn more about different scents and how to do scent analysis, I would highly recommend checking out a course at The Institute of Art and Olfaction, I’ve taken a couple classes there and I loved it. https://artandolfaction.com/
