Dr. Mary T. Newport recounts her search for answers after her husband began showing signs of Alzheimer's. Trained in neonatology, she turned to nutritional research and observed notable cognitive and behavioral improvement when medium-chain fats were introduced into his meals.

The book explains how the liver converts medium-chain triglycerides into ketones, which can serve as an alternative fuel when glucose metabolism in the Alzheimer's brain is impaired. Newport combines patient-centered narrative with discussion of biochemical mechanisms and the potential of ketone esters to raise ketone levels further.

Intended for caregivers, clinicians, and anyone exploring nutritional approaches to dementia, the text offers practical advice for incorporating coconut oil and MCT into diets and highlights the need for controlled research and regulatory progress.
