085: Kids Are Showing Signs of Alzheimer's, and No One Is Worrying with Dr. Kristina Bosnar

Alzheimer’s and dementia are some of the scariest realities for adults to consider. No one wants to feel like they’re going to lose their mind!

But in this day and age, it feels like cognitive decline is inevitable for many of us, “just a normal part of aging.”

Similarly, our culture has come to accept that many kids are neurodivergent, that their brains are wired differently. We diagnose it as ADHD or ASD, or we see that 1/3 of our teens have clinical anxiety and we think, “It’s just the way the world is. We’ll help them navigate.”

My guest today, Dr. Kristine Bosnar, wants us all to push back against acceptance. In fact, she says that the neuro-inflammation at the root of Alzheimer’s and dementia is the SAME as what we see in kids with ADHD and other mental health struggles! Their brains are on fire.

Buckle up and get ready to learn:

why brain health is in a steep decline the last 20-30 years
how it’s affecting kids and the projected statistics
alarming correlations between the symptoms of Alzheimer’s and ADHD, autism, anxiety
clear red flags of brain inflammation that we mustn’t ignore in our kids
what to DO to help kids thrive and reduce neuro-inflammation
how the 3 S’s - sugar, sedentary lifestyle, and sleep - are pivotal players in the inflammation game
simple tips for how to start the day right for brain health
the epidemic of loneliness that we must stop NOW for our kids' generation
why cooking together with your kids is a powerful (and efficient) step toward brain health for the whole family
