Because I am a kidney doctor, I usually am focused on talking about foods that relate to kidney disease. This week I am going to step out of my comfort zone and switch gears from the kidneys to the brain. I want to dedicate this video to my amazing grandmother Myra, who I lost about 15 years ago to Alzheimer's Dementia.

If you have ever seen someone go through dementia, you know how heartbreaking it is for everyone involved- for not only the person, but the family members as well. So I have been studying diet and dementia risks and I want to share with you what I found about foods that will lower the risk of cognitive decline.

Working as a kidney doctor, I found that my patients were often unaware of just how important diet and lifestyle were and how often they felt unsupported by generic advice to “eat healthy”.

The home cook in me hated hearing this, so I set out to find a better way. I began to combine my medical training and love of food, making videos of simple recipes that were based on science and packed with flavor. Instead of just saying “eat healthy” to my patients, I could give them the resources they needed to make a real difference in their health.

Kidney doctor, passionate home cook, and YouTube sensation Dr Blake Shusterman empowers people to proactively manage their health by stepping into the kitchen. The author of several cookbooks with over 100,000 YouTube subscribers, The Cooking Doc® believes anyone, at any age can transform their health with small changes that make a big difference. Based on science and packed with flavor, Dr. Blake’s simple recipes have inspired home cooks everywhere to change their diet, retrain their taste buds, and transform their health.
