In this video, we’re going to talk about the top vitamin deficiency that mimics dementia.
Vitamin B12 is essential for normal brain function—without it, you can experience symptoms of dementia.
This vitamin is found most abundantly in animal products, though certain microbes can also produce it. Low animal product consumption is the most common cause of vitamin B12 deficiency.
Another cause of vitamin B12 deficiency is low hydrochloric acid (HCL) in your stomach. Your digestive system requires HCL to break down and absorb many vitamins and minerals.
As you age, your HCL level decreases. It can also decrease if you take antacids or Metformin. Interestingly, acid reflux can be a sign of low HCL, and taking antacids can make matters worse.
Betaine hydrochloride is the best way to promote normal stomach acidity.
You may experience dementia-like symptoms due to the side effects of certain medications and substances, including:
• Antacids
• Bladder medications
• Sleep aids
• SSRIs
• Cholesterol medications
• Blood pressure medications
• Steroids
• Alcohol
A deficiency in these nutrients can also produce dementia-like symptoms:
• Vitamin B1 (often caused by high sugar and carb consumption)
• Zinc (often a result of phytic acid in grains)
• Vitamin D (caused by low sun exposure)
Nutrient deficiencies may shrink your hippocampus, which leads to Alzheimer’s disease. Increasing your ketones will help nourish a brain starved of fuel and nutrients.
If you’re experiencing symptoms of dementia, try these things:
1. Start Healthy Keto and intermittent fasting
2. Consume more fatty fish and seafood
3. Consume more red meat
4. Take betaine hydrochloride
