About this ebook

Reverse and Prevent Type 2 Diabetes and Heart Disease
Sharpen Cognitive Function and Avoid Memory Loss


This book is a summary of “The Better Brain Solution: How to Start Now—at Any Age—to Reverse and Prevent Insulin Resistance of the Brain, Sharpen Cognitive Function, and Avoid Memory Loss,” by Steven Masley, M.D.

We are facing two urgent epidemics today: increasing rates of type 2 diabetes and prediabetes and escalating rates of disabling memory loss. These two conditions are linked to a metabolic dysfunction called insulin resistance triggered by poor diet and lifestyle choices. The rates of type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease are escalating at epidemic proportions because of the insulin resistance brought on by the Standard American Diet.

In The Better Brain Solution, Dr. Steven Masley explains why healthy insulin activity and blood sugar control are essential to brain health. He explores the impact of insulin resistance on the brain and the brain-blood sugar-heart connection. He explains (1) how the brain can become insulin resistant through diet and lifestyle, (2) how and why it can lead to cognitive decline and memory loss, and (3) how to prevent and reverse these conditions by following the Better Brain Solution, a step-by-step approach to reverse insulin resistance, prevent and reverse type 2 diabetes and heart disease, improve cognitive functions, and avoid memory loss.

It’s never too late to improve your mental sharpness, prevent and even reverse type 2 diabetes and heart disease, and decrease your risk for memory loss.

    Brain Power

    Where It Comes From

    Your brain gives you cognition . Cognition is your ability to know and think. It has two primary functions: memory and processing. Memory is the ability to store and recall past information and experiences. Processing is the ability to assimilate and process the information and convert them into knowledge. Executive function is the part of processing that helps you plan and achieve goals, focus, and manage our tasks.

    The human brain grows rapidly after birth, reaching about 80 percent of its adult size by age two.
