Amy discusses the correlation between sleep dysregulation and Alzheimer's disease, highlighting the chicken and egg scenario of disrupted circadian rhythms. She explains the importance of sleep in clearing metabolic waste, particularly beta amyloid proteins, and how chronic hyperinsulinemia may impact this process. Mike adds that sleep and circadian rhythm perturbations are also linked to insulin resistance, emphasizing the multifactorial nature of the issue.
