@biohackedhealth: What if the plaques found in Alzheimer’s aren’t actually the root cause… but the brain’s attempt to protect itself? Some researchers now believe these proteins may form as part of the brain’s immune response — almost like the brain trying to wall off toxins, inflammation or other stressors. The problem is, modern medicine has spent years trying to remove the “smoke” without always asking what caused the “fire” in the first place. Things like inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, mitochondrial issues, toxins and insulin resistance are now being looked at much more closely in brain health conversations. The brain doesn’t usually do things without a reason 👀
