Insulin Resistance Linked to 4x Faster Progression of Dementia

Vitality101 Newsletter

Hello Reader,

At the 2025 Congress of the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) in Helsinki, researchers presented a study involving 315 non-diabetic patients. Over a three-year follow-up period, those with insulin resistance who developed mild cognitive impairment (MCI) related to Alzheimer's disease experienced cognitive decline at a rate four times faster—a striking increase of 400%—than those without insulin resistance.

This is a significant (and easily addressed) new finding, for several reasons:

1. Insulin resistance—the driving force behind metabolic syndrome and a leading cause of diabetes—now affects more than 30% of all adults, and nearly 50% of those over age 60.
2. A 400% acceleration in dementia progression makes insulin resistance one of the most powerful—and potentially preventable—risk factors for cognitive decline. Dementia currently affects about 1 in 10 people over the age of 65.
3. These findings also strengthen early evidence linking obesity to dementia, reinforcing the idea that it's a modifiable risk factor.
4. The brain fog and pain in fibromyalgia also increases risk. Simple measures that can powerfully protect the brain while helping insulin sensitivity include PEA, the Energy Revitalization Drink Mix multi, and Curamin®. These markedly lower pain, turning off the brain inflammation that increases dementia risk, while improving insulin sensitivity.

6 Vitamins and Minerals for Older Adults, According to the Experts

As we get older, our bodies become less efficient at absorbing nutrients—making it harder to get what we need from food alone. This problem is often made worse by medications, which many seniors take regularly and which can further deplete key vitamins and minerals. So, which nutrients matter most as we age?

An article from MSNBC TV News highlights six essential vitamins and minerals that doctors recommend for healthy aging. Among the experts featured is Dr. Teitelbaum, who shares insights based on his experience developing the award-winning vitamin powder drink mix.

Study Shows Metformin Helps Treat Arthritis

A study published in the May 27, 2025 issue of JAMA found that metformin—a widely used diabetes medication—significantly improved arthritis symptoms in people who are overweight. Since this group is also at higher risk for diabetes, metformin may offer a two-for-one benefit: easing joint pain while helping manage blood sugar.

Meanwhile, research shows Curamin® is even more effective for knee pain, while also helping insulin sensitivity.

Optical Illusion: Cameron's Blue Eye

Here's a black & white photo of actress Cameron Diaz. Notice how the left eye looks blue. That's an illusion. The eye on the left is the same black & white as the one on the right. How does this work? The faded pink tinting overlays everything on the left half of the photo except Cameron's pupil (there is a hole in the pink layer). The pinkish color causes your mind to shift it's interpretation of the contrasting grayscale to its opposing color—which in this case is blue-green. To prove it, below shows what her eyes look like if the pink fade is turned solid. The pupil is revealed to be black & white.
