Podcasts about alzheimer's disease

Pack your bags (and maybe a clothespin for your nose) because this week on Hysteria 51 we're going interplanetary and intestinal.First up: luxury travel has officially left Earth. A startup is taking reservations—yes, real money—to be among the first guests at a proposed hotel on the Moon. We're talking deposits that can range from “casual quarter-mil” to a full $1,000,000 just to hold your spot, with the total trip potentially climbing far beyond that once you factor in the whole “rocket commute” situation. It's space tourism with a side of “do they validate parking in low gravity?” Then we come crashing back down to Earth with science that sounds like it was invented in a middle-school cafeteria: the idea that “sniffing farts” could help protect your brain. Under the jokes is a real research thread around hydrogen sulfide (the “rotten egg” gas associated with flatulence) and how it may help protect brain cells in Alzheimer's-related mouse studies—less “weaponized crop dusting,” more “biochemistry doing something weird and promising.” So if you like your weird news with equal parts sci-fi dreams and “please don't say that out loud,” this episode is your perfect storm: moon hotel reservations, space-tourism absurdity, and the unexpectedly serious science of stink.Links & Resources

What do collagen powders, weighted vests, parasite cleanses, and protein bars all have in common? (According to our favorite no-nonsense doctor, probably a lot less science than TikTok would like you to believe.) This week on Laugh Lines, we're welcoming back the wonderfully persnickety Dr. Eric Topol to help us debunk the health trends that keep popping up in our feeds (and in our shopping carts.)After our last conversation, we were flooded with listener emails, voicemails, and questions, so this time he is answering all YOUR questions! We cover big topics like brain health, Alzheimer's prevention, and new blood tests like the “brain clock.” (We also cover cortisol panic, brain booster supplements, and over the top health challenges.)If you are overwhelmed by health advice, tired of feeling like you are doing everything wrong, or just want to laugh while learning what actually matters, this episode will leave you feeling smarter, calmer, and far less tempted to buy supplements while doomscrolling. We love to hear from you! Leave us a message at 323-364-3929 or write the show at podcast@theholdernessfamily.com.

It's a controversial topic, fasting, especially for women. Dr. Mindy Pelz was teaching women to fast primarily because they wanted to lose weight, but what she was witnessing was women saying things like, "I lost weight, but my hair's falling out. I don't have a period anymore. I sat down with Dr. Mindy Pelz, New York Times bestselling author of Age Like a Girl, hormone expert, and the voice redefining fasting for women - because doing it wrong can wreck your health. We explore why fasting affects women differently, how ketones can restore brain function during menopause, and why understanding your hormonal cycle is critical for metabolic health, cognitive performance, and longevity.

EVEN MORE about this episode!What if music could calm anxiety, reduce pain, and even transform the surgical experience—without medication? Join Alice Hudnall Cash, PhD, as she reveals the science and soul behind music as medicine. A pioneering clinical musicologist and psychotherapist, Dr. Cash shares how rhythmic entrainment, instrumental music, and ancient healing traditions can influence the body at a cellular level—helping patients relax, heal faster, and feel safer during medical procedures. Through powerful real-life stories, she illustrates how music doesn't just move us emotionally—it physically changes us.This episode weaves together cutting-edge medical innovation and centuries-old wisdom, exploring solfeggio frequencies, medieval healing traditions, and the deep spiritual roots of music. Dr. Cash also shares personal stories of a lifelong musical lineage, from early piano lessons to Moravian musical traditions, revealing how music becomes part of who we are—almost like it's written into our DNA.From operating rooms and Alzheimer's care to patented medical devices now used worldwide, Dr. Cash's groundbreaking work is reshaping how medicine views healing. This conversation will change how you think about music forever—and may just have you listening with new ears to the healing harmony already surrounding you.Guest Biography:Alice Hudnall Cash, PhD, LCSW, is a clinical musicologist and licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years of experience researching and working with surgical patients. She holds a Bachelor and Master of Music in piano performance, a PhD in clinical musicology, and a Master's in clinical social work from the University of Louisville. While on staff at the University of Louisville School of Medicine in the mid-1990s, Dr. Cash identified the untapped power of music during surgery and developed a simple, evidence-based method using purely instrumental music paced to a healthy resting heartbeat to promote rhythmic entrainment. Her work led to a U.S. patent in 2008 for a method and apparatus to reduce anxiety and pain perception during medical procedures. Today, her pre-loaded headphones and MP3 players are used in hospitals worldwide, with five therapeutic playlists available on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Originally focused on surgical patients, her work now supports hospitals, surgery and dialysis centers, and a wide range of applications including chemotherapy, pain management, dentistry, ketamine infusions, and anxiety reduction, while also educating audiences on the distinction between music therapy and music medicine.Episode Chapters:(0:00:01) - Healing Powers of Music and Sound(0:09:14) - Music Medicine and Healing Origins(0:15:44) - Exploring Music Therapy Opportunities(0:20:15) - Music Therapy in Surgery Implementation(0:34:30) - Healing Power of Instrumental Music(0:41:03) - Music, Math, and Spiritual Connections(0:46:26) - Power of Music in Divine Connection➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Español YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Português YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Deutsch YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Français YouTube✏️Ask Julie a Question!

I am delighted and honored to interview Dr. Lisa Mosconi today. She is an Associate Professor of Neuroscience in neurology and radiology at Cornell Medicine and Director of the Women's BRAIN Initiative and the Alzheimer's Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medicine, New York Presbyterian Hospital. She is also a globally acclaimed neuroscientist with a Ph.D. in neuroscience and nuclear medicine and the author of the New York Times bestseller The XX Brain and, more recently, The Menopause Brain. In our conversation, we discuss how women's brains change during perimenopause and menopause, looking at the significance of puberty, pregnancy, and perimenopause, as well as the lack of medical research on women and medical gaslighting. We explore the concept of bikini medicine and its misconceptions regarding women's health and hormones, alongside the crucial roles of hormones like estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone in our neuroendocrine system. Dr. Mosconi also provides insights into evolving menopausal treatments, including lifestyle interventions.  Dr. Mosconi is an esteemed figure in neuroscience and a prominent voice in women's health. I am confident you will gain valuable insights and perspectives from my discussion with her today. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: How women's brains change during perimenopause and menopause How the lack of information for young girls can lead to medical gaslighting and confusion during perimenopause Dr. Mosconi explains how a simple sugar is used as a tracer to track glucose metabolism in the brain during perimenopause Why brain changes during menopause may lead to mental fatigue and brain fog How the lack of training and research on menopause in medical residency programs leads to a poor understanding among clinicians Why women need to consider their brain and metabolic health during perimenopause Why estrogen is essential after menopause The benefits of HRT for menopausal women How stress impacts hormone production Connect with Cynthia Thurlow Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Join other like-minded women in a supportive, nurturing community (The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow)  Cynthia's Menopause Gut Book is on presale now!

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 1-15-2026: An emailer from Switzerland asks about fluorescein angiography requested before her first retina appointment. Dr. Dawn suspects protocol-based medicine screening for macular degeneration and suggests negotiating to see the doctor first given her different reason for seeing a retinal specialist. She encourages patients to maintain agency in medical settings. An emailer asks about creatine supplements. Dr. Dawn notes it helps muscle development in people doing weight training at 3-5 grams daily, but does nothing for aerobic-only exercisers. Claims about cognition and mood lack solid research. She advises against high-dose "loading," and cautions that creatine causes fluid retention problematic for congestive heart failure and should be avoided with stage 3 or higher kidney disease. Dr. Dawn reminds listeners it's not too late for flu shots, noting this season's H3N2 strain emerged after vaccine formulation was finalized. She laments mRNA vaccine research defunding, as that technology allows rapid reformulation. She describes organoids—tissues grown from stem cells that self-organize into primitive organ structures, enabling rapid drug screening without animal testing. Stanford researchers created assembloids by placing four neurological organoids together that spontaneously connected and built the ascending sensory pain pathway, offering new approaches to studying chronic pain. Dr. Dawn explains research showing satellite glial cells transfer healthy mitochondria to spinal sensory neurons through tunneling nanotubules. When this transfer fails, neurons fire erratically causing pain. Infusing healthy mitochondria into mouse spinal columns cured peripheral neuropathy—suggesting future periodic infusion treatments for humans. She reports Texas A&M researchers created "nanoflowers" from molybdenum disulfate that double stem cell's mitochondrial production, potentially supercharging regenerative medicine for conditions including Alzheimer's and muscular dystrophy. A caller asks about flu vaccines with egg allergy. Dr. Dawn explains that his gastrointestinal reactions to eggs differ from dangerous IgE allergies causing hives or anaphylaxis—GI intolerance doesn't preclude vaccination. Dr. Dawn reveals that 20 years of Parkinson's research followed a false lead. MRI showed increased iron in patients' brains, prompting iron chelation trials—which worsened symptoms. The problem: MRI detects paramagnetic ferric iron (stored, inert) not ferrous iron (biologically active). Patients accumulate useless ferric iron but are deficient in usable ferrous iron. Earlier 1980s studies showing that iron supplementation helped were ignored and abandoned prematurely. She suggests Parkinson's patients discuss iron supplementation with neurologists. She will post the link in the resources page on her website. A caller concerned about early Parkinson's describes tremors and balance problems in darkness. Dr. Dawn suggests darkness-related symptoms sound more like peripheral neuropathy than Parkinson's, recommending neurological examination and screening for diabetes, B vitamin deficiency, or heavy metal exposure. She confirms that sedentary lifestyle reduces mitochondrial production while progressive exercise builds both muscle and mitochondria.

What if I told you, there's a hidden link, a common factor that lies at the root of all diseases? It's Inflammation and it affects everything. Sounds scary, right? Whether it's heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, or even Alzheimer's, inflammation is the common thread connecting these health issues together. From your brain to your heart to your toes, inflammation is the silent culprit behind disease and pain. Even though you can't always see it, inflammatory reactions are happening all the time to protect your body from damage. So, what causes inflammation and how can we avoid it? If you already have it how can you make it go away? Want more practical health tips? Join my newsletter! https://freechapter.lpages.co/newslet...

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome the founders of AlzAuthors as guests to the show to discuss the history of AlzAuthors & the transition to All Home Care Matters.   AlzAuthors was founded in 2015 by three authors—Marianne Sciucco, Jean Lee, and Vicki Tapia—each of whom cared for and lost loved ones to dementia and wrote about those journeys.   The three first connected in 2015 on social media, began promoting each other's dementia-care books, and soon realized that a collaborative platform could help many more caregivers find trustworthy, experience-based resources in one place.   What began as a small, one-month blog project evolved into a worldwide network of nearly 400 authors across six continents, making AlzAuthors a trusted destination for Alzheimer's and dementia storytelling.   Over the past decade, the initiative has expanded to include curated books, a podcast, film festivals, virtual events, blogs, and other creative formats that center the voices of caregivers and people affected by dementia.   Transition to All Home Care Matters:   In January 2026, AlzAuthors transitioned to new leadership under All Home Care Matters, the caregiver-focused podcast and media platform founded by Lance A. Slatton.   All Home Care Matters will maintain AlzAuthors' established mission and brand while managing the website, producing future podcasts, and expanding opportunities for authors and cross-promotion so the community can grow without losing its core identity.   Legacy of the Marianne Sciucco, Jean Lee, and Vicki Tapia:   Co-founders Sciucco, Lee, and Tapia built AlzAuthors into a respected, volunteer-driven organization known for its rigorous review process and deep commitment to caregiver support.   Through this transition, their legacy lives on as All Home Care Matters stewards the next chapter, with plans to preserve what makes AlzAuthors unique while increasing its reach and impact for caregivers worldwide.

My new friend Missy Brown will be here with me for this episode Her experience working with both child and senior populations in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, allows her to work simultaneously with clients and behind the scenes in creating programs and support. Her true interest is helping those with unique needs, especially those who have autism and Alzheimer's. She discusses her efforts in her book, Soaring Over Skepticism. Outside of business, she has two lovely daughters and a spouse. Missy also likes supporting others and discovering new coffee shops. She is a strong advocate for small businesses. Welcome to Autism Rocks and Rolls, my friend. 

Send us a textDr. Brandon Crawford is joined by Samuel Shepherd, a former Department of Defense biochemical engineer who used his expertise in weapons development to reverse-engineer a cure for his own "incurable" bone cancer. They deep-dive into the science of oxidative stress, the hierarchy of antioxidants, and the specific molecule that allows animals like naked mole rats and sharks to resist cancer and aging.Samuel recounts his 2003 diagnosis of polycythemia vera, where his blood pressure reached levels that "pegged" medical monitors at 300 mmHg. After years of grueling phlebotomies, Sam used a screening algorithm to find a commonality among cancer-resistant species. That common thread was Astaxanthin. However, he didn't just find a supplement; he discovered a way to modify the molecule into a glucosidic form that bypasses the body's digestive barriers to target disease at the atomic level.Key TakeawaysThe Root of All Evil: 92% of inflammatory disease deaths are driven by the hydroxyl free radical. By neutralizing this specific ROS, you address the cause of disease (the trunk) rather than just the symptoms.Molecular Saponification: By using a glucosidic "Trojan Horse" delivery, astaxanthin enters cancer cells and converts acidic free radicals into alkaline ions, dissolving the cancer cell membrane in seconds.The Antioxidant Cliff: Natural cellular protection (Glutathione, SOD) fails significantly after age 42 W or 50 M, making external supplementation essential for longevity.Beyond Brain Barriers: Unlike many antioxidants, this specialized form of astaxanthin crosses the blood-brain barrier, allowing it to neutralize neurotoxins linked to Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.ResourcesUse code CRAWFORD at checkout on Valasta.net for a discount on your order.Valasta.net (testimonials, NIH research papers, dosing information)NIH Research Database (search: "NIH + astaxanthin + [disease]")ProQuest Government Research DatabaseLife Extension (publishes astaxanthin research papers)Dr. Fred Bisci (mentioned as colleague)HSCRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein) testing for inflammation markersHematococcus Pluvialis (algae source of astaxanthin)Products 528 Innovations Lasers NeuroSolution Full Spectrum CBD NeuroSolution Broad Spectrum CBD NeuroSolution Stimpod STEMREGEN® Learn MoreFor more information, resources, and podcast episodes, visit https://tinyurl.com/3ppwdfpm

In this episode of Wellness at the Speed of Light, Dr. Stefano Sinicropi is joined by board-certified neurologist Dr. Theodore Henderson for an educational discussion on brain health, cellular energy, and emerging approaches in neurology. The conversation centers on how light-based therapies, often referred to as photobiomodulation, are being studied for their potential role in supporting brain function. Dr. Henderson explains how mitochondria, the structures responsible for cellular energy production, are closely linked to cognitive performance, memory, and overall neurological health. When mitochondrial function is compromised, it may contribute to cognitive decline and neurological stress over time. Dr. Sinicropi and Dr. Henderson explore how this science is being examined in the context of neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and traumatic brain injury, with a focus on understanding mechanisms rather than promoting treatments. The episode discusses why traditional models of care have often overlooked cellular energy and light-based research, and how ongoing scientific inquiry is expanding the way clinicians think about brain resilience and recovery. This episode is designed for healthcare professionals, patients, caregivers, and listeners interested in neuroscience, brain wellness, and the future of integrative neurological care. It offers a clear, accessible explanation of complex concepts and invites thoughtful consideration of where neurological research is heading. Rather than making promises, this conversation encourages curiosity, informed dialogue, and a deeper understanding of how advancing science may shape the future of brain health.

In episode 228, Dr. Sina McCullough and Joel Salatin explore why conditions like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, ADHD, cognitive decline, and other neurological disorders are rising simultaneously.Access the Entire Episode on Beyond Labels Premium HERE: https://beyondlabels.supportingcast.fm/Follow on InstagramFollow on XSubscribe on RumbleSubscribe on YouTubeFind Joel Here: www.polyfacefarms.comFind Sina Here: www.drsinamccullough.comDISCLAIMER

10,000 – that's the magic number of steps often recommended for a healthy lifestyle. With recent research looking into whether that number is an accurate benchmark for health, could the number of steps taken per day have an impact on brain health and, specifically, cognitive decline? That's precisely what a new study from Harvard Medical School and Mass General Brigham sought to examine, looking at how physical activity, specifically step count, impacted cognitive decline for those living with Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Bri Breidenbach and Sarah Lose join the podcast to break down the results of this new study, as well as share what current research says about the effect of other kinds of physical activity, such as different intensity exercises, on the brain and Alzheimer's progression. Guests: Bri Breidenbach, PhD, scientist, exercise physiologist, Okonkwo Lab, and Sarah Lose, MS, research program manager, exercise physiologist, Okonkwo Lab, UW School of Medicine and Public Health   Show Notes Read the study, “Physical activity as a modifiable risk factor in preclinical Alzheimer's disease,” published by the journal Nature Medicine on their website.

If you have ever struggled with your weight, low energy, pre-diabetes or even type 2 diabetes, this is a conversation that could change your life. Dr David Unwin is an NHS GP who not only put his own type 2 diabetes into drug free remission, he has also helped over 150 patients do the same in a standard UK general practice – with ordinary people, on ordinary budgets, using food and lifestyle. It's estimated that around 7/8ths of the adult population are metabolically unhealthy, which means that only a tiny minority of us are truly metabolically well. And this is a serious issue because poor metabolic health is one of the root cause drivers of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, strokes, Alzheimer's and many forms of cancer. In fact, this is one of the main reasons why I co-founded Do Health https://drchatterjee.com/do-health/ - a personalised health companion, powered by your individual biology and lifestyle - as a way of helping people improve their metabolic health early, well before they get sick in the future. In this week's episode, we cover: The early signs of poor metabolic health, and why symptoms like fatigue, belly fat and brain fog are often overlooked. Why many issues we see as ‘normal ageing' are actually signs of insulin resistance. How David himself reversed his own type 2 diabetes and, at the same time, improved his mood, energy and cognition. How reducing starchy carbohydrates if you have metabolic dys-regulation can dramatically improve blood sugar control Why so many of us struggle with bread, pasta, and ultra processed foods – and how food addiction may be silently driving our behaviour. The two women who helped David rethink everything he thought he knew about food, hope and healing And why it's never too late to work on your metabolic health and why doing so can change every aspect of your life. One of the things I love most about David is his passion. He really is someone who genuinely wants to improve the health and lives of his patients and our hope is this conversation empowers you to make small changes that will improve your blood sugar, weight, energy, and ultimately, your future.   Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.

 Mary Ellen began using cannabis at age 18 to manage PTSD symptoms from her brother's death by methadone addiction when she was eight, finding that cannabis smoothed out her restlessness, depression, and agitation.Stopping cannabis use in her late twenties led to everything going haywire in Mary Ellen's life, including doctor shopping for opiates, fibromyalgia diagnosis, postpartum depression, and five trips to rehab.After 11 months in a 12-step program following her fifth rehab, Mary Ellen read a book suggesting addiction was a choice and decided to reintroduce cannabis, which helped her life begin to simmer down and function properly again.During the years without cannabis, Mary Ellen's endocannabinoid system went into deficiency, and she believes seeking opiates was a sideways attempt to get rebalanced, though it only made everything worse.Cannabis creates homeostasis and balance by working through the endocannabinoid system's unique retrograde motion, where chemicals flow in the opposite direction from traditional neurotransmitters, acting as a regulator to slow excessive chemical signaling.Discovery of the endocannabinoid system's retrograde motion turned 100 years of neuroscience upside down, as it showed chemicals flowing from postsynaptic to presynaptic nerves rather than the traditional one-way direction taught in neuroscience.Mary Ellen was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma, a rare salivary gland cancer with no correlation to cannabis use, and received treatment from Dr. Gregory Weinstein in Philadelphia, who developed the surgical robot used for the procedure.Medical professionals at the treatment facility encouraged Mary Ellen to use cannabis during her cancer treatment, which she found unusual but supportive given her 40-year history with the plant.Five surgeries included endometriosis treatment, ruptured neck disc repair, breast reduction, hip replacement, and cancer removal, with the neck scan fortunately revealing the otherwise undetectable cancer.During cancer treatment, Mary Ellen took up to 60 milligrams of oxycodone per day but successfully tapered off following doctor's advice, using meditation principles and understanding that addiction thoughts are just thoughts that don't have to be believed.Cannabis continues to help Mary Ellen manage post-surgery symptoms including pain when swallowing, metallic taste from reduced taste buds, and lack of appetite, with small amounts motivating her to eat and care for herself.Remarkably, Mary Ellen's cancer surgery required significantly less intervention than planned, with surgeons avoiding skin grafts from her arm and leg that were originally scheduled, which she attributes partly to consuming CBG oils and RSO prior to surgery.People suffering from depression, anxiety, PTSD, autoimmune diseases, and neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's likely have improperly functioning endocannabinoid systems that could benefit from cannabis intervention.Mary Ellen encourages people not to give up on cannabis if previous attempts didn't work, emphasizing that today's options are vastly different from 20 years ago, and even small amounts of CBD can provide significant behind-the-scenes health benefits over the long term.

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Carol Steinberg as guest to the show.   About Carol Steinberg:   Carol Steinberg is an accomplished writer and editor and a former award-winning journalist who contributed regularly to The New York Times, Success magazine, and other publications. She left journalism mid-career to serve for 15 years as an executive at local and national nonprofit organizations focused on Alzheimer's disease—a way of giving back after her father died as a result of the disease. Now semi-retired, she continues her involvement in the Alzheimer's community by writing the bimonthly newsletter for Voices of Alzheimer's as well as blogs on the topic, and appearing on podcasts and other media to discuss various aspects of the disease.   Based on her family's experience and her knowledge of Alzheimer's disease, Carol is the author of a new children's book—"Come Grandpa Meow, Let's Fly." The book uniquely features a heartfelt story about Alzheimer's plus a collection of intergenerational activities. It has been recognized by AlzAuthors as a valuable resource for caregivers and by Ella's Way for demonstrating the power of kindness.   About "Come Grandpa Meow, Let's Fly":   "Come Grandpa Meow, Let's Fly: A Heartfelt Children's Story About Alzheimer's Disease Plus a Guide to Intergenerational Activities" takes a unique approach to helping families navigate Alzheimer's disease or other related brain disorders. It features a tender children's story that explains the disease in age-appropriate language, designed to help young children understand the changes in a loved one and to alleviate fear and confusion. The story is uniquely complemented by a collection of empowering intergenerational activities, such as gardening and music, which respond to the question, "Now what?"—How can we foster a loving and respectful bond?   Author Carol Steinberg taps into her family's journey and extensive professional experience with Alzheimer's to realistically portray the disease and offer understanding and compassion to a condition that is often stigmatized. As the author notes, "In the face of this devastating disease, we are all looking for that 'moment'—a twinkle of joy, laughter, connection, or remembrance."   Accompanied by illustrator Chelsea Cooper's beautiful watercolor artwork, "Come Grandpa Meow, Let's Fly" tells the story of Lynnie, a young girl who cherishes spending time with her grandfather. When Grandpa Meow begins to struggle with their familiar activities and forgets who his granddaughter is, Lynnie's mom sensitively explains that Grandpa Meow has Alzheimer's. The conversation includes a powerful message: "We can try to help him remember how much we love him." Lynnie takes these words to heart and figures out how to strengthen their bond in a new way, relying on a song Grandpa Meow always sang to her as she flew through the air on a swing.   "Come Grandpa Meow, Let's Fly" has been recognized by AlzAuthors as a valuable resource for caregivers and by Ella's Way for demonstrating the power of kindness. Experts have called the book "stigma-busting," "well-crafted and poignant," and a "practical tool for meaningful conversations." A portion of each sale benefits the VoA Foundation, the educational arm of Voices of Alzheimer's.

Most people assume they're healthy until something breaks. The problem is that dysfunction shows up in your biology years before symptoms appear. I sat down with Dr. Paul Turek to break down what modern biomarkers actually reveal about your health, performance, and long term disease risk. We explore why “normal” lab ranges can be misleading, why guessing based on symptoms fails, and how early signs of metabolic dysfunction, inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies quietly shape how you feel, train, and age.  This conversation is about testing and not guessing. We spoke about how to understand what's happening inside your body before problems become diagnosed. And about taking ownership of your health data at any age, not reacting once it's too late.

Today we tackle the most difficult questions about dementia; death either dignity. What happens when your loved one starts to fade? How do you keep a promise to someone losing their mind? Our guest shares her courageous and deeply personal story. First, she noticed small moments of confusion. As a result, she and her husband John began to face the reality of a devastating diagnosis. Consequently, John made a clear choice to live and die with dignity. His wish was to avoid a vegetative state. We explore what it means to honor that decision. This includes navigating the complex emotional and legal journey of seeking death with dignity. Therefore, this episode is a raw look at love and loss. Ultimately, it's a story of a promise kept. It is a promise that allowed a man to maintain his dignity to the very end. Our Guest: Erica Baccus Erica started her professional career in the suburbs of Chicago as an 8th grade English teacher. She went on to San Francisco to become a high-tech marketing, advertising, and research executive. She and her beloved husband John were married for 41 years. Together they lived an active and adventurous life—skiing, golfing, hiking and traveling around the world. Erica enjoys spending time with her son, stepson, stepdaughter and grandkids. Now she helps advocate and educate people about end-of-life decisions exploring the moral and ethical perils so many face.

In this powerful episode, I'm joined by Emma Heming-Willis and Helen Christoni for an honest conversation about women's brain health, dementia risk, emotional overload, and the profound changes women experience in midlife. Women are nearly twice as likely as men to develop Alzheimer's disease, yet most are never taught how menopause, estrogen decline, chronic stress, caregiving, and emotional suppression impact the female brain. In this episode, we unpack the difference between dementia and Alzheimer's, why brain changes can begin decades before diagnosis, and why midlife is a critical window for awareness and prevention, not fear. We also explore how nervous system dysregulation shows up as irritability, withdrawal, resentment, or burnout, why so many women feel disconnected from themselves in their 40s and 50s, and how telling the truth, emotionally and relationally, becomes essential for both brain and body health.

Today, I'm excited to welcome Dr. Sharon Bergquist to the podcast. Sharon is a board-certified physician, research scientist, founder of Emory Lifestyle Medicine & Wellness, and an internationally recognized leader in lifestyle medicine.  She has led or co-led over a dozen clinical trials that have received $61 million in funding to evaluate lifestyle interventions and identify early biomarkers for chronic disease, including ongoing studies for early detection of Alzheimer's disease and cancer. Her work is at the forefront of how we understand the role of stress and resilience on our health and longevity. As the author of The Stress Paradox: Why You Need Stress to Live Longer, Healthier, and Happier, Dr. Bergquist brings a deeply personal and scientific perspective to the conversation. She shares how early-life adversity shaped her understanding of resilience and how decades of clinical research led her to challenge the conventional narrative about stress. Sharon explains why not all stress is harmful, how the body is biologically designed for growth through challenge, and why eliminating stress may actually harm long-term health and longevity. In our conversation, we explore the science behind how good stress in the "Goldilocks Zone" can strengthen the body and mind. Sharon outlines how purposeful stress supports mitochondrial health, cognitive function, physical capacity, and emotional well-being, and explains why recovery is just as essential as the challenges we create and overcome.

How is advanced genetic engineering, stem cell biology, and AI-driven analytics reshaping the future of brain repair? Dr. Ruslan Rust, an Assistant Professor of Research Physiology and Neuroscience at the Keck School of Medicine of USC, joins the podcast to share his insights… With over 15 years of translational neuroscience research, Dr. Rust is developing next-generation gene-edited, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived therapies designed to overcome the biggest barriers in cell therapy — crossing the blood-brain barrier, immune rejection, and long-term safety. Dive in now to find out: Why current stem cell therapies struggle in stroke and neurodegenerative disease. Where stem cells are harvested.  How gene-edited iPSC-derived cells are engineered to cross the blood-brain barrier. The role of AI and single-cell omics in optimizing brain repair strategies. With additional training in MBA, bio-entrepreneurship, and scientific leadership, Dr. Rust brings a uniquely pragmatic lens to what it actually takes to turn cutting-edge neuroscience into viable therapies. Listen now for a rare look at how stroke recovery and Alzheimer's treatment may move from experimental promise to real clinical impact.
