Hey Heal Squad! We often talk about gut health, inflammation, and brain fog, but what if it all starts in your mouth? In Part 2 of our conversation with world-renowned dentist and oral wellness expert Dr. Jonathan Levine, they dive deep into how oral health isn't just about cavities and cleanings, but a direct reflection of your whole-body health. Dr. Levine explains how the oral microbiome impacts your immune system, digestion, cognitive health, and even your risk of chronic disease. You'll learn how mouth bacteria can travel through your body via the gut and bloodstream. And yes, your daily dental routine plays a much bigger role than you think. He also breaks down his “4-minute protocol” for optimal oral hygiene to protect your mouth (and your brain). Tune in and discover the power of preventative oral care, inside and out!  HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:  Mouth microbes = full-body mess: Poor oral hygiene can allow harmful bacteria to enter your bloodstream, disrupting gut health, triggering inflammation, and impacting your overall health. Daily habits matter: Dr. Levine explains how a 4-minute oral health protocol can dramatically improve energy, immunity, and long-term wellness. Your mouth talks to your brain: Emerging science shows that oral health is deeply connected to cognitive decline. Dr. Levine reveals how dental inflammation could be a hidden contributor to brain fog, Alzheimer's, and more. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjonlevine/?hl=en Website: https://www.drjonathanlevine.com/  Smile House: https://www.instagram.com/smilehousetribeca/  JBL: https://www.instagram.com/jblnewyorkcity/  If you're in NYC, Dr. Levine is offering one complimentary whitening treatment when you book a Mouth Mapping appointment at Smile House or JBL NYC.

Your neurons can become younger.Your gut can reshape itself in five days.Your immune system can learn to fight cancer.This isn't theory. It's mycology.And it's about to change how you think about what your body can do.This week on Live Well Be Well, I sit down with Dr. Catalina Fernández de Ana Portela, a pioneering mycologist and oncologist who's spent 26 years unlocking the therapeutic power of mushrooms. From Lion's Mane and Reishi to Cordyceps, she's led clinical trials across cancer, autism, neurodegenerative disease, and fertility, quietly reshaping how we think about prevention, healing, and the intelligence of nature.In this episode, we explore:The real science behind Lion's Mane: neuroplasticity, contains GABA, and why your neurons can actually become youngerWhy Lion's Mane may support brain health, gut health, autism, Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's treatmentHow Reishi could help reduce stress and anxiety, and modulate neurotransmitters like GABAThe real science behind putting mushrooms in your coffee (yes, it's more than a trend!)What Cordyceps does for energy, fertility, and performance, and how mushrooms support both male and female reproductive healthBreakthrough research on mushrooms in integrative oncology, including their effects on the gut microbiome and immune systemThe gut-brain axis: how mushrooms can reshape your microbiome in 5 days and support conditions from autism to cancerThe supplement quality crisis: why only 25% of products contain what they claim and how to find trustworthy brandsWhether you're curious about adding Lion's Mane to your morning coffee, wondering if Reishi could actually help your anxiety, or want to understand how mushrooms are being used alongside chemotherapy in clinical trials, this conversation will change how you think about what's possible. The question isn't whether mushrooms work. The science is undeniable. Now it's about finding the right approach for you.Love,Sarah Ann

Medicare Advantage Minute announces 2019 statistics: 17% of MA claims were denied in that year but of those claims that were appealed, 57% were ultimately paid. In the "Your Medicare Benefits 2025" segment we learn how Medicare is likely to cover Monoclonal Antibodies when they are used for the treatment of early onset Alzheimer's disease. "Early onset" is described as symptoms appearing before age 65. Humana subsidiary CenterWell announced the purchase of bankrupt firm The Villages Health. Apparently they declared bankruptcy after discovering they owed hundreds of millions to Medicare. How does this sort of thing sneak up on a company? Finally, as alluded to in the headline of this episode, there was speculation about what might happen if a person insured by a High Deductible Medicare supplement. Would the family members tasked with paying the bills be burdened by extra accounting and check-writing duties in the event of a long period of disability? My answer? Unequivocally no!

The Silent Killer of the Mind: What You Don't Know About Alzheimer's Could Be Hurting You Already What if the path to Alzheimer's doesn't begin in your 70s—but is already unfolding in your 30s, 40s, or even earlier? In this powerful conversation with Dr. Robert Love, we expose one of the most misunderstood, underestimated health threats of our generation—Alzheimer's disease—and what you can do today to not only prevent it, but potentially reverse its early effects. I've had some of the best minds on this show, but Dr. Love stands out. He's not just brilliant—he's a world-class communicator on a mission to bring hope, tools, and clarity to one of the scariest topics out there: losing your mind. Dr. Love pulls back the curtain on the real causes of Alzheimer's—and it's not just genetics. It's inflammation. It's sugar. It's chronic stress. It's poor sleep. He explains how our modern lifestyle is sabotaging our brain health decades before symptoms appear. And here's what hit me hard: your inflammation levels at age 40 are one of the strongest predictors of your Alzheimer's risk at 70. That's not fear—that's a wake-up call. But the best part? We're not powerless. From simple lifestyle shifts to breakthrough supplements like lion's mane and curcumin, Dr. Love shows us the map to protecting the most vital organ we've got—our brain. We also dive into cutting-edge science that isn't just about prevention—it's about reversal. Dr. Love shares promising new treatments and even clinical results from his medical clinic where Alzheimer's symptoms have improved or stabilized through non-drug protocols. He gives us a first-hand account of a patient who went from disoriented and forgetful to alert, clear, and sharp—all within six months. I'm telling you, this isn't science fiction. This is the new frontier of brain health. Beyond the data and science, what really resonated with me was this: so much of what protects the brain is also what builds a better life—quality sleep, exercise, meaningful learning, low stress, good food, and strong relationships. Dr. Love reminds us that joy, curiosity, and purpose aren't just nice-to-haves—they're biological armor for your brain. And if you're young and thinking this episode doesn't apply to you? Think again. The decisions you make today will echo into the quality of your future decades. Key Takeaways: Alzheimer's starts decades before symptoms appear—your 40s matter Inflammation is one of the biggest risk factors for cognitive decline Sleep, gut health, stress, and sugar all have massive impacts on brain aging Supplements like lion's mane, curcumin, and NMN can support neurogenesis Alzheimer's symptoms can be improved or reversed with lifestyle interventions Your lifestyle is not just shaping your body—it's shaping your brain This one is a must-listen. Share it with someone you love. This information can change lives. — Max Out  

What if we told you your mouth might be the secret key to protecting your brain, your heart… and even your long-term health? This week, we're joined by world-renowned dentist and wellness expert Dr. Jonathan Levine to talk about the connection between oral health and whole-body healing. He breaks down how your gums can warn you about inflammation, why bleeding when brushing isn't normal (even though most people think it is!), and how dental hygiene plays a bigger role in disease prevention than you've ever been told. PLUS, Dr. Levine walks us through his 4-minute protocol to reset your oral health, simple, doable, and science-backed. You'll walk away empowered with tools to take charge of your health… starting with your smile. Tune in, squad!  HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:  Bleeding gums aren't normal: They're an early sign of inflammation and can be a warning flag for more serious issues in the body like cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's. Don't ignore it—treat the gums, support the body. Oral health impacts systemic health: Your mouth is the gateway to your entire body. Bacteria in the mouth can trigger inflammation that spreads to the brain, heart, and gut. Healing starts with hygiene. Try the 4-minute oral reset: Dr. Levine recommends a simple 4-minute daily routine (electric brushing, flossing, tongue scraping, and using a mouth rinse) to reduce inflammation and protect your whole-body health. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjonlevine/?hl=en Website: https://www.drjonathanlevine.com/  Smile House: https://www.instagram.com/smilehousetribeca/  JBL: https://www.instagram.com/jblnewyorkcity/  If you're in NYC, Dr. Levine is offering one complimentary whitening treatment when you book a Mouth Mapping appointment at Smile House or JBL NYC.

It's no secret in 2025 that stronger muscles lead to longer life. If you're a woman in perimenopause, postmenopause or anything in between, this is no surprise to you. I think we are very aware of it, but let's unpack how weight lifting treats and prevents chronic diseases. Women, at any age, need stronger muscles for a longer life. Not just for aesthetics, but for functionality and independence.   My Guest: A longtime Vanity Fair contributing editor, Michael Joseph Gross has published investigative reporting, essays, and books about culture, technology, politics, religion, and business. He was raised in rural Illinois and lives in New York City.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:04:31] How did this become a topic of interest to you personally?  [00:07:54] Let's connect strength training to prevention and treatment of illnesses often associated - even accepted - with aging? [00:20:17] Weight training has been shown to decrease anxiety and to have positive effects on risk of Alzheimer's or type 3 diabetes, can you explain for the listeners?  [00:26:31] How has the work of Dr. Maria Fiatarone Singh showed that weight training may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's? [00:33:13] Why is lifting heavy important? Do you worry that leading with “lift heavy” intimidates women? What did you uncover as evidence that it is never too late to start progressive strength training?   Why Strength Training? Strength training changes more than just your body—it's internal too. It's not about looking stronger—it's about being stronger. Adolescence and menopause are both times when women feel their bodies are changing without their consent. Strength training gives back a sense of control, capability, and power.   Stronger Muscles Longer Life At Any Age   Strong Youth: Peak bone mass forms in youth—strength training in adolescence builds lifelong health. A 10% increase in bone mass reduces future fracture risk by more than 50%.   Strong in Midlife: Dr. Maria Fiatarone Singh, geriatrician and professor in Sydney, Australia, found that even 90+ year-olds can gain muscle mass with high-intensity training. Weight training can treat and prevent nearly all chronic diseases.   Stronger Muscles Through Weight Lifting Treats and Prevents These Diseases: Type 2 Diabetes Heart Disease Osteoporosis Depression and Anxiety Insomnia Osteoarthritis Frailty Dementia & Alzheimer's Blood Pressure and Cholesterol Fall Risk   Periodization & Smart Strength Training: Periodization: Cycles of high effort, deloading, and rest. Women (especially Type A) tend to push too hard—leading to burnout or injury. Strength training should energize you, not exhaust you. Part of lifting heavy is lifting light. The goal: Live better, not just lift more.   Ancient Greek Lesson: The Right Time to Train Greek word kairos = the “opportune moment” for action. Good training is about doing the right thing at the right time. Don't blindly follow a plan. Train for your body today.   Connect with Michael: Michael's Website Twitter - DuttonBooks   Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - 5 Things I Would Do If I Were Tired All the Time  More Like This - What's Best Total Body or Split Routine in Menopause   Resources: Tune in to the upcoming Flipping 50 Masterclass.

This week's episode has the cohosts talking about social isolation and earlier death among the elderly population.   Studies have shown that loneliness is associated with a higher risk of mortality in older adults. For example, one study found that individuals experiencing loneliness at one or more points in time had a higher hazard for mortality compared to those who never experienced loneliness.  Loneliness can trigger physiological stress responses, potentially leading to chronic inflammation and reduced immunity. These factors can contribute to the development of various health problems, including heart disease, Alzheimer's, and other age-related illnesses.  Social isolation, which is closely linked to loneliness, can limit access to social support, including assistance with daily tasks, emotional support, and healthcare. This lack of support can negatively impact both physical and mental well-being.  Loneliness and social isolation have also been linked to poorer cognitive function and an increased risk of conditions like dementia.  Conversely, research suggests that maintaining social connections and receiving regular visits from loved ones can mitigate the risks associated with loneliness and potentially increase longevity.  In essence, according to many studies prior to 2025, loneliness can create a cycle of negative health impacts, potentially increasing the risk of premature death, while social connections and support can act as protective factors.  HOWEVER.... a new study was just reported last month that questions the previous assumptions.  Researchers tracking home care recipients in Canada, Finland, and New Zealand discovered something unexpected: lonely older adults were actually less likely to die within a year compared to their non-lonely peers. Among the most vulnerable seniors — those receiving help at home with daily activities — being lonely was associated with an 18% to 23% lower risk of death. We are sure more research will now be done to either support the newest study or previous studies.  Time will tell!

More than 20 million U.S. adults live with chronic neocortical brain damage caused by stroke, Alzheimer's, or traumatic injury—conditions with few effective treatments.

Good morning from Pharma and Biotech daily: the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in Pharma e Biotech world. GSK has entered a partnership with Hengrui worth up to $12 billion, focusing on the COPD candidate HRS-9821. The FDA's new voucher policy has caused confusion among experts, as it lacks clear definition and was announced without public input. The American Medical Association urges RFK Jr. to maintain the preventive task force, and Sarepta denies a patient death is linked to Elevidys as the FDA launches a probe. Biopharma companies are leaning towards holistic treatments for Alzheimer's, while Atai-partnered schizophrenia drug fails in a mid-stage trial. Boehringer partners with Irish startup Re-Vana in a $1 billion+ eye deal.As the Alzheimer's space becomes more competitive, biopharma companies are focusing on holistic treatments beyond disease-modifying drugs like Leqembi and Kisunla. Companies such as Bristol Myers Squibb, Acadia, Otsuka, and Lundbeck are renewing their search for symptomatic treatments. Five upcoming data drops could potentially lead to more effective therapies for Alzheimer's. Sarepta Therapeutics is facing challenges due to safety concerns surrounding its gene therapies, leading to a drop in stock value. The FDA's new voucher program aims to offer accelerated pathways for drugs meeting certain criteria, but experts criticize the lack of transparency and public input in the policy's announcement. Sarepta's future is uncertain as the FDA considers a new study for Elevidys, and the EU issues a negative opinion on the drug.

In today's episode, we had the great opportunity to speak with an amazing author who is changing the outlook on aging! Dr. Corinne Auman, a care management expert and author of "Keenagers: Telling a New Story About Aging," joins us to challenge the overwhelming negativity surrounding the aging process.Drawing from both professional expertise and personal experience caring for family members with dementia and Parkinson's, Dr. Corinne reveals a profound truth: how we think about aging largely determines how our aging journey unfolds. Those with positive attitudes toward their later years tend to prepare comprehensively, not just financially but emotionally, socially, physically, and spiritually. Meanwhile, those dreading age-related decline often avoid planning altogether, inadvertently creating the very crises they fear.The language we use matters deeply. When searching for words to describe aging positively while writing her book, Dr. Corinne discovered our vocabulary is dominated by negative terms. This linguistic limitation reflects and reinforces our cultural attitudes. "Keenagers"—older adults who are highly developed and maintain strong interests—offers a fresh alternative that celebrates continued engagement rather than withdrawal.For caregivers, especially, this perspective shift is transformative. Whether you're currently caregiving or simply wanting to approach your future with greater intention, Dr. Corinne's insights will inspire you to write a new story about aging—one filled with purpose, possibility, and continued growth.Have you started planning for your aging journey? To learn more about Dr. Auman, visit corinneauman.com. Host:  ⁨J Smiles Comedy⁩ Producer: Mia Hall⁩ Editor: Annelise Udoye#CaregivingJourney#DementiaAwareness#AlzheimersCare#CaregiverSupport#HumorInCaregiving#EndAlz #keenagers #aging #olderadults Support the show"Alzheimer's is heavy but we ain't gotta be!"IG: https://www.instagram.com/parentingupFB: https://www.facebook.com/parentingupYT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDGFb1t2RC_m1yMnFJ2T4jwPatreon: https://patreon.com/jsmilesstudiosTEXT 'PODCAST" to +1 404 737 1449 - to give J topic ideas, feedback, say hi!Be sure to leave us a review!

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Kitty Norton as guest to the show. About Kitty Norton: In 2016, Kitty Norton left her job as an NBC assistant editor in Los Angeles, for her hometown of Portland, Oregon, to walk, stumble, crawl with her dementia mother to death's door. While doing so, she authored the dementia caregiver blog Stumped Town Dementia, writing tales of dementia life which resonated deeply with readers around the world. When her mother, Gloria, moved on to her next adventure in March of 2021, Kitty created and directed the dementia family caregiver documentary Wine, Women, & Dementia, to celebrate family caregivers and let them know they are worthy of been seen, heard, and honored alongside their person living with dementia. About "Wine, Women, & Dementia": Wine, Women, & Dementia tells the tale of dementia life through the lens of these family caregivers who strive to accept the beauty and the brutality, the hilarious and the horrific - for themselves and their dementia person. And in a system that offers few resources or support, they find community, champion each other, and learn what it means to celebrate LIFE on the long road to death.

Episode Summary: In recognition of World Brain Day (July 22), this Think Thursday episode is a deep dive into the powerful, daily practices that shape your brain's future. While most of us worry about cognitive decline, far fewer realize how much influence we actually have. Molly introduces SHARP—a simple, science-backed framework for protecting and enhancing your brain's longevity, clarity, and resilience. From reducing dementia risk to boosting neuroplasticity, this episode gives you the tools to keep your mind vibrant for years to come.What You'll Learn – The SHARP Framework:S – Sleep & Stress Regulation: Sleep is when your brain clears out toxins linked to Alzheimer's. Chronic stress, meanwhile, shrinks memory-related regions and floods your system with cortisol. Molly shares realistic strategies to optimize both sleep and stress management.H – Health Management: Hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol aren't just heart issues—they directly impair blood flow to your brain. Molly encourages listeners to know their health metrics and embrace preventive care, not just reactive treatment.A – Activity (Physical & Cognitive): Regular movement and mental challenge increase BDNF and hippocampal volume—both key for memory and learning. Learn how to find the right mix of cardio, strength, and cognitive novelty to protect your brain.R – Relationships & Recovery: Human connection is vital for long-term brain health. So is purposeful mental rest. Molly outlines ways to build deeper relationships while incorporating daily mental “micro-rests” to reset your attention and creativity.P – Plant-Forward Nutrition & Preventive Living: Diets like MIND and Mediterranean are clinically linked to younger brain age. Molly explains how building meals around plants, healthy fats, and fiber—while minimizing alcohol and ultra-processed foods—can provide neuroprotective benefits.Mini Challenge: Pick just one area of the SHARP framework to focus on this week. Your brain will thank you—and it will reward you with energy, clarity, and peace of mind.Resources & Mentions:Mel Robbins Podcast featuring Dr. Vonda WrightOfficial MIND Diet WebsiteStay Connected:Website: www.mollywatts.comJoin the Facebook Community: Alcohol Minimalists – Change Your Alcohol HabitsInstagram: @alcoholminimalist ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Dr. Joseph Ecker from the Salk Institute about his work on high-resolution genome-wide mapping technologies, specifically how the regulation of gene expression is influenced by DNA methylation, chromatin accessibility, and non-coding RNAs across various cell types and developmental stages. During our conversation, we delve into Dr. Ecker's contributions to the characterization of the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana, a project pivotal in the plant genomics field, where he collaborated on the early sequencing efforts that dramatically outpaced expectations. He highlights the technological advancements that enabled such efficient sequencing and how this foundational work opened new avenues for exploring transcriptional activity. We also discuss Dr. Ecker's pivotal work on the comprehensive DNA methylation map of Arabidopsis, which he developed in collaboration with other researchers. This groundbreaking study established the links between methylation patterns and gene expression, paving the way for further research into how these epigenetic marks influence over gene regulation. He elaborates on the significance of transitioning from traditional methods to more sophisticated techniques, such as RNA-seq, and the lessons learned from sequencing projects that have since been applied to human biology. Dr. Ecker's transition to studying human cells is further explored as he discusses the profiling of DNA methylation in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), revealing how epigenetic memory can influence cellular differentiation and development. He underscores the importance of understanding these methylation patterns, particularly as they relate to conditions like Alzheimer's disease and stem cell biology, where he examines potential applications of his findings in medical research. As our conversation progresses, we touch upon Dr. Ecker's ongoing projects that utilize advanced multi-omic techniques to investigate the epigenomes of the human brain, focusing on how DNA methylation and gene expression change with age and in the context of neurodegenerative diseases. He details the collaboration efforts with various consortia aimed at cataloging gene regulatory networks and understanding the complex interactions that take place within the brain throughout different life stages.   References Mozo T, Dewar K, Dunn P, Ecker JR, Fischer S, Kloska S, Lehrach H, Marra M, Martienssen R, Meier-Ewert S, Altmann T.
