Is Alzheimer’s Related to a Nutrient Deficiency? Brain Surgeon’s Top Vitamins and How to Take Them

Alzheimer’s affects more than 55 million people worldwide, with that number projected to triple by 2050. Yet for many, prevention remains an afterthought—until it’s too late.

Dr. Russell Blaylock spent decades as a neurosurgeon before dedicating his career to studying the role of nutrition and environment in brain health. His argument is direct: Alzheimer’s is largely a preventable condition, and the science to support that claim has been available for years.

In this episode of “Vital Signs,” Blaylock walks through the early warning signs most people miss, including a little-known connection between loss of smell and the brain changes that precede Alzheimer’s. He explains why nutrient deficiencies, particularly in B vitamins, and the accumulation of metals like iron and copper in the brain are central to how he believes the disease develops—and what can be done about it.

He also addresses why standard multivitamins fail to correct these deficiencies, which forms and doses of key nutrients actually work, and how environmental toxins—from pesticides and herbicides to aluminum in drinking water—are compounding the risk for millions of people who don’t know they’re exposed.

The nutrients Blaylock recommends—among them thiamine, riboflavin, quercetin, curcumin, EGCG, bacopa, and resveratrol—are widely available. The challenge, he argues, is knowing how to take them effectively.
