Medical advances over the past century mean our bodies are living longer than ever. But our brains aren't always keeping pace. Rates of Alzheimer's are rising, and the big question is, why? Emerging science suggests that our brain health in later life is shaped decades earlier, through everyday choices around food, lifestyle, and stress. Today, I'm joined by neurologists Drs. Ayesha and Dean Sherzai, who will share their NEURO plan; a practical guide that you can use today to keep your brain strong tomorrow.

What if thousands of men are losing their sexual function treating a cancer that was never going to kill them? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Shawn Zimberg — board-certified radiation oncologist and medical director at Advanced Radiation Centers of New York — to unpack the truth about prostate cancer screening, overtreatment, and what every man over 40 needs to know. Dr. Zimberg reveals that the prostate cancer industry has an overtreatment problem — and genomic testing is exposing which tumors need aggressive treatment and which don't. We break down why PSA is broken, why Gleason scores don't tell the full story, and how cadaver studies show men from their 20s to 80s harbor prostate cancer cells that never become clinically significant. We also dive into the science behind radiation therapy, the BioProtect balloon spacer (Dr. Zimberg has performed nearly 2,000 — more than anyone in the world), and the cutting-edge radioligand therapy changing outcomes for stage 4 prostate cancer. If you're a man, love a man, or work with men in health or performance, this is essential listening. About the guest:Dr. Shawn Zimberg is a board-certified radiation oncologist, medical director at Advanced Radiation Centers of New York, and director of radiation oncology at Bronx Care Hospital. He trained at Memorial Sloan Kettering and has pioneered the use of rectal spacer technology in prostate cancer treatment, having performed nearly 2,000 PioProtect balloon procedures — more than any other physician in the world. *** Reduce your risk of Alzheimer's with my science-backed protocol for women 30+: https://go.neuroathletics.com.au/brain-code-yt Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for more conversations at the intersection of brain science and performance.

Butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid produced when gut bacteria ferment dietary fiber, serves as both an energy source for colon cells and an important signaling molecule for immune regulation By inhibiting histone deacetylases (HDAC) and suppressing the NF-κB pathway, butyrate acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory agent, helping prevent chronic inflammation that contributes to various diseases Butyrate promotes regulatory T cell development while modulating other immune cells, helping maintain immune tolerance and preventing autoimmune responses while supporting balanced immune function Butyrate plays a significant role in managing chronic diseases like IBD, multiple sclerosis and Type 2 diabetes by reducing inflammation and supporting gut barrier function Emerging research suggests that butyrate influences brain health by modulating the gut-brain axis; it reduces neuroinflammation and supports cognitive function, and plays a supporting role in the prevention of neurological disorders like Alzheimer's disease and depression

Matt examines the critical link between sleep quality and Alzheimer's pathology. He details the brain's "night shift" - the glymphatic system - which actively flushes out toxins like amyloid beta during deep sleep. Listeners learn how even a single night of deprivation can spike harmful tau levels by 50%, effectively accelerating brain aging.The discussion pivots to dual orexin receptor antagonists (DORAs), a drug class that quiets wakefulness rather than forcing sedation. Matt highlights research from Dr. Brendan Lucey and Dr. David Holtzman showing these agents may lower toxic proteins and preserve the hippocampus. Despite this therapeutic promise, he emphasizes that natural sleep remains the ultimate gold standard for neuroprotection.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.One of this week's sponsors, LMNT, offers a science-based electrolyte drink with no sugar or artificial ingredients.

In this episode of Your History Your Story, our guest is Dr. Todd Goldberg. Todd and I became friends back in junior high and high school, but after graduation, life took us in different directions and unfortunately we lost touch. In recent years, however, we reconnected through this podcast after he heard our episode on the Amazing Kreskin. I'm genuinely grateful for that reconnection and very pleased to be speaking with my friend today.Dr. Goldberg is a board-certified internal medicine and geriatric specialist, currently serving as an associate professor at Jefferson Medical School in Philadelphia and chief of geriatric medicine at Jefferson Abington Hospital in Abington, Pennsylvania. He has been recognized for many years as a “Top Doctor” in geriatrics by Philadelphia Magazine, reflecting his deep experience caring for older adults and for families navigating complex medical challenges.One of the central topics of our conversation today is Alzheimer's disease—its history, the science behind it and what it means for patients and families. This is a subject that is very close to home for me. My mother lived with Alzheimer's disease, and the impact on her—and on our entire family—was profound. That experience has shaped my interest in understanding the disease more deeply. Dr. Goldberg brings both medical expertise and a compassionate, human perspective to this discussion, including insight into the very real challenges caregivers face and the importance of awareness around the support and resources available to them. In addition to his medical work, he is also an accomplished writer and dedicated history enthusiast, having contributed to numerous medical books and journals, as well as several works exploring the classic comic strip Prince Valiant in the Days of King Arthur and other history-related comics.Today's conversation brings together medicine, history and lived experience in a way that I believe is both important and deeply meaningful.Music: "With Loved Ones" Jay Man Photo(s): Courtesy of Dr. Todd Goldberg Thank you for supporting Your History Your Story!YHYS Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YHYS PayPal: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YHYS: Stay in the know, join our mailing list: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YHYS: Website, Blog & Social: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#yhys #yourhistoryyourstory #history #storytelling #podcast #njpodcast #youhaveastorytoo #jamesgardner #historian #storyteller #blogger For more info on Alzheimer's: Association: ⁠⁠CLICK HERETo purchase the book, The Thirty Six Hour Day: CLICK HERETo explore Prince Valiant information: CLICK HERE

What if the guilt you feel after a slip-up is actually more damaging than the slip itself?So many people approach the holidays believing one cookie, one skipped workout, or one moment of overwhelm means they've “ruined” their healing. But that narrative isn't true — and it's undermining your progress far more than any single choice ever could.In today's episode of Renegade Remission, we're dismantling the myth of “falling off the wagon” and replacing it with a new, science-backed understanding of healing: one rooted in compassion, nervous system safety, and resilience.You'll learn how guilt elevates cortisol, increases inflammation, disrupts digestion and sleep, and keeps your body stuck in fight-or-flight, in other words, the exact opposite of the healing state your cells need. And more importantly, you'll learn how small, intentional resets can bring you back into alignment instantly.By the end of this episode, you'll discover:Why falling off the wagon is a myth, and healing is continuous, not linearHow guilt hijacks your nervous system and increases inflammationWhy self-compassion accelerates healing more effectively than disciplineHow to use slip-ups as information, and not beat yourself up over themSimple reset rituals (breath, hydration, movement, mindset shifts) that get you back on track in secondsHow to separate your identity from your actions — the key to breaking lifelong guilt patternsYou'll walk away with a new framework for staying grounded, kind, and committed to your health during the holidays — without perfectionism, shame, or self-criticism.Today, choose one small act of reconnection: a deep breath, a glass of water, a grounding pause, or a compassionate thought. Let that be your reset — your signal to step back into healing gently and without judgment.And join us in our next episode for Day 10, where we'll explore how to stay calm and centered in the midst of holiday chaos, no matter what's happening around you.DisclaimerThis podcast is for educational purposes only and does not offer medical advice.

Visit ⁠⁠⁠https://longevitybuilders.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠to discover book and The Longevity Builder Health LabThis is the comprehensive set of show notes for your interview with Professor Ulrik Wisløff and Dr. Atefe Tari, combining the introduction, key takeaways, and conclusion into a single, cohesive package.Episode Title: The Longevity Blueprint: VO2 Max, HIIT, and the Science of Biological ProtectionGuests: Professor Ulrik Wisløff and Dr. Atefe TariResearch Affiliation: Cardiac Exercise Research Group (CERG), NTNU, NorwayTheme: Translating exercise science into a powerful, personalized strategy for longevity and disease prevention.In this groundbreaking episode, we sit down with two of the most cited and influential researchers in the world of exercise physiology and medicine: Professor Ulrik Wisløff and Dr. Atefe Tari.Professor Wisløff (ranked among the world's most cited exercise scientists and inventor of the PAI metric) and Dr. Tari (leading researcher on the brain-protective effects of exercise plasma) reveal the overwhelming evidence that one single number—your Maximal Oxygen Intake (VO2 Max)—is the strongest predictor of how long and how well you will live.We dive into the molecular mechanisms behind this phenomenon, explore why steps and calories are not enough, and uncover the precise intensity needed to trigger cellular and arterial repair, offering a data-backed blueprint for listeners to truly build longevity in their own lives.Role: Professor of Exercise Physiology & Head of the Cardiac Exercise Research Group (CERG) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).Standing: Among the four most cited scientists worldwide in the field of exercise.Key Contributions: Pioneer of the high-intensity interval training (HIIT) protocol for heart patients; provided the first causative evidence linking low fitness to increased heart disease risk; Inventor of the Personalized Activity Intelligence (PAI) health metric.Role: Postdoctoral Researcher at NTNU/CERG and collaborator with the Queensland Brain Institute.Key Contributions: Head of the ExPlas study, investigating the effect of exercise-trained blood plasma on cognitive function; her research focuses on how fitness protects against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.The Single Best Predictor: A high VO2 Max (Maximal Oxygen Intake) is the strongest biological marker for longevity and lifespan, surpassing all other blood markers, weight, or daily step counts.A Whole-Body Reflection: VO2 Max is a reflection of the whole body's capacity: lung function, heart pump efficiency, blood vessel transport, and the ability of mitochondria (the cell's power plants) to use oxygen for work.Mitochondrial Mastery: VO2 Max directly measures the combination of all mitochondria in the body, reflecting their function and efficiency. Earning 100 PAI points seems to trigger improvements in mitochondria, blood viscosity, and endothelial tissue.HIIT Defined: High-intensity training is defined as working at a threshold of 30 beats per minute below your maximum heart rate—the intensity level where you can speak to someone but you cannot sing.The Dose: Higher intensity exercise needs to be done every second day because the cellular and molecular benefits are short-lived, lasting only about two days.Personalized Activity Intelligence (PAI): This metric is a compass for longevity. There is a linear association between PAI score and VO2 Max—chasing PAI points ensures you are getting the required intensity and duration for physiological adaptation.Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://longevitybuilders.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠to discover book and The Longevity Builder Health Lab

In this episode of Talking Sleep, host Dr. Seema Khosla welcomes Dr. Safwan Badr, the newly appointed editor of the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine and pulmonologist at Wayne State University, for an in-depth review of the most impactful articles published in JCSM during 2025.  Dr. Badr discusses his vision for the journal and the editorial selection process, then guides listeners through key research findings shaping clinical practice. The conversation highlights both highly popular papers and important studies that deserve more attention from practicing clinicians.  A significant focus is placed on research confirming that traditional 4% hypopnea criteria and CMS definitions systematically underestimate sleep apnea in women, with expanded diagnostic criteria helping mitigate these gender disparities. The episode explores groundbreaking research on sleep architecture and Alzheimer's disease, examining how lower slow wave sleep and REM sleep correlate with brain atrophy in AD-vulnerable regions, particularly the inferior parietal lobe.  Consumer sleep technology receives critical examination through a meta-analysis comparing wrist-worn devices to polysomnography, revealing significant limitations in accuracy. Dr. Badr discusses implications for physicians and consumers who increasingly rely on these devices. Mental health intersects with sleep medicine through research showing that nightmares and insomnia in the acute aftermath of trauma predict suicidal ideation—nearly half of acute trauma patients with both conditions experience suicidal ideation within two months, highlighting urgent need for early interventions.  Additional topics include Canadian research on CBT-I effectiveness during pregnancy and findings from the TODAY study examining obstructive sleep apnea's relationship with glycemic control and cardiovascular risk in young adults with youth-onset type 2 diabetes. Whether you're looking to stay current with evidence-based practice changes, interested in emerging research on sleep and neurodegeneration, or seeking to understand gender disparities in sleep medicine, this year-in-review provides essential updates.

Molecular biologist Judith Frydman studies the nuances of protein folding and how defects in the process lead to neurodegenerative diseases. Her team studies protein folding in human cells and in model organisms, like yeast and worms, to understand the molecular events that precipitate harmful protein defects in humans. In one example, Frydman's team explored how aging affects the creation and the quality of proteins in the brain, leading to cognitive problems. She is now looking to develop therapies – someday perhaps leading to cures – to debilitating diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, ALS, and others. The power of science gives her true hope in these important pursuits, Frydman tells host Russ Altman in this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Nationally recognized psychiatrist, internist, and addiction medicine specialist Muhamad Aly Rifai discusses his article, "How insulin resistance may cause Alzheimer's disease." Muhamad introduces the paradigm-shifting concept of Alzheimer's as "Type 3 diabetes," arguing that insulin resistance in the brain is the root cause. He explains how this metabolic dysfunction starves neurons (especially in the memory-critical hippocampus), leading to the toxic beta-amyloid plaques and tau tangles associated with cognitive decline. Muhamad highlights the crucial link between diabetes and Alzheimer's risk and discusses breakthrough diagnostic tools (like new blood tests) that can identify the disease before memory loss begins. Discover the practical lifestyle and medical interventions (from diet to new diabetes medications) that may prevent, manage, or even reverse cognitive decline by treating its metabolic underpinnings.

You're tired all the time. Your joints ache. Your brain feels foggy. Your stomach is always off. You've been to multiple doctors, run the labs, and everything comes back "normal." So you're told it's stress, or aging, or maybe it's all in your head. It's not. It's chronic inflammation, and it's the hidden thread connecting most long-term diseases, from heart disease and diabetes to Alzheimer's, autoimmune conditions, and even cancer. That's chronic inflammation, and it's happening in your joints, your gut, your brain, your arteries, and your metabolism- quietly, invisibly, for years before symptoms force you to pay attention. You'll learn the 5R framework for gut repair, why sleep is the most underrated anti-inflammatory tool, how to eat to lower inflammation starting today, and which supplements actually move the needle when layered on top of solid habits. If you've been chasing diagnoses, collecting labels, or told your symptoms don't match anything "real," this episode is your roadmap out. Chronic inflammation is measurable, fixable, and under your control once you understand what's feeding it.

I used to think fertility was pure luck — until conversations like this changed everything. I've watched women do everything right and still struggle… while others who ignored all the “rules” conceived effortlessly. It's confusing, emotional, and at times, deeply unfair. But today's guest, Dr. Natalie Crawford, explains exactly why this happens — and what women actually can control. In this episode, we break down the science of fertility in a way every woman deserves to understand — whether you're 25, 35, or 45. Most importantly, Dr. Crawford reveals the 5 fertility non-negotiables — the foundational biological factors every woman should understand long before she ever tries to conceive. This is one of the most empowering episodes we've created — because fertility shouldn't be a mystery, and women deserve better answers. *** "The Fertility Formula" — Dr. Natalie Crawford's upcoming book (available now for preorder). About the guest: Dr. Natalie Crawford, MD, is a board-certified OB-GYN and Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility specialist.

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter Dom D'Agostino is a neuroscientist and professor at the forefront of metabolic therapies, including ketogenic diets, exogenous ketones, and hyperbaric oxygen. In this episode, Dom breaks down nutritional versus supplemental ketosis, defines meaningful ketone thresholds, and outlines practical ways to achieve ketosis. He explains how a ketogenic diet can support metabolic health and weight loss, and advises on how to maintain adequate protein and avoid common mistakes. Dom surveys the growing landscape of exogenous ketones—from salts and esters to 1,3-butanediol—and effective pairings like caffeine, MCT oil, and alpha-GPC. He highlights the role of ketogenic therapy in cancer (particularly glioblastoma) and its promise for neurodegenerative diseases. The conversation also covers recommended hyperbaric oxygen protocols for brain injuries and cognitive function, situations where fasting or ketones offer cognitive and anti-inflammatory benefits, and touches on the carnivore diet as a ketogenic variant with potential relevance for autoimmune and metabolic conditions. We discuss: Dom and Peter's shared interest in ketosis, and Dom's scientific journey [2:30]; Dom's work for the Navy on oxygen toxicity [7:00]; Nutritional ketosis defined: physiology, biomarkers, and how fasting and diet generate therapeutic ketones [15:00]; The historical roots of ketogenic diets in epilepsy treatment, and evidence showing ketones reduce seizure activity and strengthen brain resilience [19:00]; Dom's personal experience on the ketogenic diet: tracking macros, getting enough protein, and monitoring ketone levels [24:15]; Using a ketogenic diet for weight loss: Dom's guidance on protein, fiber, calorie tracking, lipid monitoring, and more [31:00]; Protein on ketogenic diets: Dom's rationale for higher intake and muscle preservation [38:00]; Incorporating carbohydrates into keto: timing, high-fiber foods, and other considerations [41:30]; The carnivore diet: whether this diet induces ketosis, how it functions metabolically, and why it may help individuals with autoimmune conditions [44:15]; Early exogenous ketones: how 1,3-butanediol works, its liver toxicity risk, and why ketone esters replaced it [48:15]; The progression of exogenous ketones: why BHB monoesters and ketone salts emerged as better alternatives to 1,3-butanediol for ketone supplementation [59:30]; Ketone salts: easing the transition into ketosis, dosing, and how they compare to ketone esters [1:04:00]; The differences between D- and L-β-hydroxybutyrate, and how racemic mixtures may elevate ketones longer and offer unique biological effects [1:09:30]; How ketosis may boost NAD, and why NAD supplements have fallen short so far [1:16:30]; Emerging evidence for using a ketogenic diet to treat anorexia and other psychiatric disorders [1:20:30]; Potential cognitive and performance benefits of ketone supplementation, and why pushing ketones too high can be dangerous [1:23:45]; Applications for ketone esters, and why ketone salts or MCT-blended formulations may be safer and more practical for most people [1:29:15]; The role of a ketogenic diet in treating cancer [1:34:45]; The potential of a ketogenic diet for treating Alzheimer's disease [1:45:45]; Tools for cognitive enhancement: ketones, alpha-GPC, MCT, caffeine, strategic fasting, and more [1:53:45]; Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for concussion, TBI, PTSD, and cognitive function, including protocols and dosing approaches [1:55:30]; Peter's takeaways, recommended products, and additional resources to learn more [2:03:00]; and More.

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Consuela Marshall as guest to the show.   About Consuela Marshall OT, CHAT, CDP CAPS, CGCP:   Consuela Marshall is an occupational therapist with over 30 years of experience in hospitals, rehabilitation, and home health. Her path to occupational therapy began after her daughter was born with a physical disability, inspiring her to return to college and pursue a profession that would equip her to better support her child and others.   Over the years, Consuela's personal caregiving journey deepened as she cared for an aunt with Alzheimer's and later her mother after multiple strokes—experiences that revealed both the rewards and emotional strain of caregiving.   About Finding a Foothold:   In 2022, she founded Finding A Foothold Caregiver Consulting to provide education and coaching that help family caregivers reduce injury risks, simplify daily tasks, and stay connected to their own lives.   In 2025, she expanded her mission by establishing the Finding A Foothold Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to fall prevention and caregiver support in underserved communities.   Consuela is also the author of Fall Prevention: Planning Not to Fall and a frequent speaker on aging, fall prevention, and caregiving.

Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid produced by gut bacteria when they ferment fiber, serving as the primary energy source for colon cells and maintaining gut barrier strength Healthy butyrate levels support weight management, blood sugar control, and brain health, with studies linking butyrate-producing bacteria to reduced Alzheimer's risk and lower cancer risk A diverse diet rich in various fiber sources, including fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, promotes butyrate production, but increases should be gradual if your gut health is compromised The gut barrier weakens with insufficient butyrate, allowing undigested food, bacteria, and toxins to enter your bloodstream, triggering systemic inflammation and widespread health problems Gradually increasing fiber intake and reducing mitochondrial toxins for increased cellular energy supports gut health and beneficial gut microbes, enhancing butyrate production and overall health
