Can You Reverse Dementia?

Hey, fountain fam—it's time to shake things up. If you've watched a loved one fade from dementia, you know the heartbreak. But what if it's not inevitable? In this eye-opening episode of the Unbreakable Podcast, Dr. Trevor Bachmeyer drops bombs on why dementia happens and how to hit it hard. He's no fan of the medical system's "manage and medicate" vibe—he's all about fixing the root causes through smart biology hacks. Drawing from his own wild health battles, like beating cancer without chemo, he shares a no-BS plan to reclaim your brain. Let's break it down simply: dementia isn't just aging; it's a mix of blocked blood flow, tangled nerves, waste buildup, wonky brain chemicals, and body-wide mess-ups like inflammation and sugar issues. Think of your brain as a clogged factory—Dr. B's approach sends in the cleanup crew, rebuilds the lines, and cranks up the power.

First off, the big ideas: Conventional docs treat symptoms with pills that barely help, like ones that slow brain chemical breakdown. But Dr. B calls BS—dementia is man-made from toxins, bad habits, and ignoring our body's needs. He IDs five fixes: restore blood flow to feed the brain, regrow nerve networks, clear junk like sticky proteins (those amyloid plaques? Just symptoms of failed cleanup), balance messengers (brain chemicals like acetylcholine), and tackle inflammation plus metabolism glitches (he calls it "type 3 diabetes" from insulin resistance).

Expert insights?

‍Dr. B's lived it—his grandparents hit their 90s sharp as tacks. He compares dementia to a forest fire: Don't spit on it; bomb it with water (that's his protocol). Peptides and nootropics are his weapons—peptides are tiny proteins that heal, nootropics boost brain smarts. Benefits? Sharper thinking, more energy, less fog, even weight loss and gut fixes. Risks? Stuff like tummy upset from overdoing peptides or weird interactions (e.g., one boosts serotonin, so watch meds). Start slow, monitor with blood tests.

Now, the protocol—it's phased, like building a house.

Phase 1 (first 8 weeks)

Lay foundations with Cerebrolysin (grows nerves via growth factors—think fertilizer), Methylene Blue (supercharges cell energy, clears oxidative gunk), BPC-157 (heals gut and brain barriers, cuts swelling), and GHK-Cu (uses copper to rebuild vessels and proteins). This revives blood flow and repairs damage.

Phase 2 (2-3 months)

Amp it up with NAD+ (energy fuel for cells), MOTS-C (tunes metabolism for better sugar handling), 5-Amino-1MQ (saves that energy by blocking a bad enzyme), and a nootropic stack: Phenylpiracetam (wakes up brain receivers for protection), Alpha GPC (raw material for brain messengers), Aniracetam and Oxiracetam (speed up signals for focus and memory). Toss in KPV to calm brain inflammation—like a fire extinguisher.

Phase 3 (8-10 weeks)

Seal it with Retatrutide (a triple hormone mimic that fixes metabolism, drops weight, and shields vessels).

Total time? At least 4-5 months—don't rush.

Stacks?

The cognitive one layers those nootropics for laser focus.

• Anti-swelling: KPV solo. But lifestyle's non-negotiable—it's the glue.
• Diet: Mix Mediterranean (fish, avocados, olive oil) with keto (low carbs under 70g, no sugar or junk oils). Fast 18 hours daily (eat in 6) to trigger autophagy (body's self-clean).
• Exercise: Hour-long brisk walks (16-18 min mile) plus weights to pump blood and spark growth factors.
• Sleep deep: It's when your brain drains waste (use DIP peptide short-term if needed).
• Stimulate your mind: Read, learn languages, puzzles—keep those nerves firing.

Practical tips?

Track wins with brain games and blood checks (sugar levels, inflammation). Ditch sugar cold turkey—lock it away if you must. Partner with your body; it's the real hero.

Dr. B's rallying cry: Fight the system, reclaim your health. This isn't about slowing decline—it's revival. If dementia's knocking, arm up and push back. Stay unbreakable, folks.
