Ep#32 Toney Niko - The Knuckledragging Caregiver Alzheimer's Warrior pt. 1 - Mental Health Awareness

The Fatty Joe Show

Toney left his career in wind farm energy about ten years ago to become a full time caregiver for his mother who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and lost the ability to live independently. Toney has dedicated his energies to finding ways to manage his mother’s symptoms while charting new pathways of care after losing his father to the same horrible condition years before.
Toney tried all the conventional treatments and dietary guidelines commonly prescribed by modern medicine, but was watching his mother rapidly decline in brain and physical health. The diet the medical community promoted to treat Alzheimer’s not only seemed to make the symptoms worse, but also caused Toney’s mom to balloon in weight and have worsened bi-markers associated to overall health.

Toney did his own research, put his mother on a high fat ketogenic lifestyle, which Toney and his wife also follow, and subsequently saw marked improvements in his mother’s cognitive function and emotional health as well as body composition. Toney now advocates for people to explore the possibilities to use a ketogenic diet as a possible component in the treatment protocol when it comes to brain health and degenerative brain conditions.
