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.

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.

For years now, scientists have shown that daily exposure to bright light therapy, which simulates the intensity of outdoor light, can be beneficial for people with insomnia and other sleep disorders, Seasonal Affective Disorder or other forms of depression. But what if bright light therapy can help people recover from concussions or other traumatic brain injuries? And what if it can also lower the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, which people with TBIs are at higher risk for? Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University were recently awarded a $4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense to explore these questions and possibly unlock more secrets about sleep and its effect on health. The OHSU researchers will recruit nearly 120 military veterans who have suffered a TBI. The participants will be given a light box to use at home for one hour each morning for four weeks. Blood samples will be drawn from participants to look for changes in markers that signal inflammation in the brain and changes in oxygen uptake in brain cells. MRI scans of participants’ brains will also help reveal if the bright light therapy has improved activity of the glymphatic system - a relatively recent discovery about the role of sleep in reducing toxins that can lead to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. Joining us for more details of the study and to share new insights about sleep science is Jonathan Elliott, assistant professor of neurology and co-director of the Sleep & Health Applied Research Program at OHSU.
Diagnosed in 2024, Portland resident Christy Scattarella has been using her own journey with Alzheimer’s to uplift others and erase stigma surrounding the disease. She began speaking out about Alzheimer's a year after her diagnosis, and champions her “Optimist’s Guide to Alzheimer's" as a way to combat the fear and shame those with Alzheimer’s often face.
Overview This special episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast was recorded live at the 2nd Annual Alzheimer's Pathobiome Initiative (AlzPI) and PCOM Symposium in collaboration with Pathobiome Perspectives. Hosted by Ali Moresco in partnership with Nikki Schultek, Executive Director of AlzPI, this series expands the Tick Boot Camp mission of exploring infection-associated chronic illness (IACI)—including Lyme and other tick-borne infections—to the global Alzheimer's and neuroimmunology research community. Tick Boot Camp co-founders Matt Sabatello and Rich Johannesen partnered with Ali and Nikki to showcase scientists exploring the microbial and immune mechanisms behind neurodegeneration. This episode features Dr. Janice Bush, a PhD candidate at North Carolina State University's College of Veterinary Medicine, whose research under world-renowned Bartonella expert Dr. Edward Breitschwerdt investigates how Bartonella bacteria alter gene expression in the brain's immune cells. Guest Janice Bush, DVM, PhD Candidate College of Veterinary Medicine, North Carolina State University (NCSU) Dr. Janice Bush began her career in veterinary medicine, where she observed a striking overlap between illnesses in pets and their human owners—particularly those linked to vector-borne infections like Bartonella. Now completing her PhD under Dr. Edward Breitschwerdt, she focuses on Bartonella henselae, the bacterium behind Cat Scratch Disease, and its ability to infect human microglial cells—the brain's resident immune defenders. Her presentation, “Bartonella-Infected Human Microglial Cells: Transcriptional Changes Associated with Chronic Neurologic Disorders,” revealed how this stealth pathogen triggers widespread gene dysregulation linked to Alzheimer's disease, psychiatric symptoms, and neurodegenerative processes. Key Discussion Points Dr. Bush explains how Bartonella infection reprograms human microglia, the brain's innate immune cells, leading to hundreds of genes being upregulated or suppressed—affecting energy metabolism, mitochondrial function, cell signaling, and immune communication. These cellular changes mirror those observed in chronic neurological and psychiatric disorders, providing a potential mechanistic link between infection and long-term neurodegeneration. She describes Bartonella's sophisticated immune evasion strategy, including its ability to hijack cellular machinery and increase production of interleukin-10 (IL-10)—an anti-inflammatory cytokine that suppresses immune response, allowing the bacteria to persist undetected. This mechanism may explain why patients experience cyclic flares and remissions, and why Bartonella can linger silently for years. Dr. Bush's findings suggest that even short-term infections can produce measurable transcriptional changes in brain immune cells within 48 hours. If such infections persist for months or years, they may set the stage for neurodegenerative disease, particularly when combined with other pathogens or environmental factors. “If one intracellular pathogen can cause this many changes in two days, imagine what happens over months or years. Bartonella may be the spark that primes the brain for neurodegeneration.” — Dr. Janice Bush Why It Matters Dr. Bush's research offers a groundbreaking look at how a common, underrecognized infection may drive neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. Her work bridges veterinary medicine, infectious disease, and neurology—revealing how pathogens once dismissed as minor or self-limiting may alter the brain's immune landscape. By demonstrating that Bartonella can infect and manipulate microglial cells, she provides critical biological evidence linking vector-borne disease and cognitive decline, paving the way for future diagnostic and therapeutic innovation. About the Event This interview was recorded at the 2nd Annual Alzheimer's Pathobiome Initiative (AlzPI) and Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) Symposium, held October 3, 2025, at Ohio University in Dublin, Ohio. The event gathered more than 20 leading researchers exploring how microbes, the microbiome, and immune dysregulation contribute to Alzheimer's, dementia, and infection-associated chronic illness (IACI). The Tick Boot Camp Podcast, in partnership with Ali Moresco and Nikki Schultek, documented these conversations to connect the chronic Lyme, infectious disease, and Alzheimer's research communities.

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
It’s estimated that around 7 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease, a number that’s expected to double by 2060. But researchers have found that some of the highest rates of cognitive impairment and dementia exist in a population that’s long been one of the most difficult to study: Native Americans. Stephanie Sy recently traveled to Seattle to understand why. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy

What if the care system you need doesn't exist yet? Chanda didn't wait. In this episode, we speak with Chanda Hinton, founder of the Chanda Center for Health. After a childhood spinal cord injury and years of depending on medicines and medical care, Chanda found that daily movement, touch-based therapies, and a team that talks to each other worked to help her overcome challenges brought on by medicine. Then she pushed further—she helped pass a first-of-its-kind law in Colorado and built a disability-competent clinic where primary care, PT, behavioral health, and integrative services live under one roof.We walk through the turning points: hitting failure-to-thrive at 59 pounds, swapping pills for proactive care, and proving cost savings by reducing 911 calls and ER visits. Chanda explains why caregiver choice matters as much as any therapy, how rotating schedules protect everyone from burnout, and why even toileting can be a place for dignity and laughter. You'll learn how the Chanda Center addresses real barriers providers face, how to create caregiver networks that flex with life, and how disability and dementia communities can join forces to push healthcare toward prevention and collaboration. It's a story about agency and design: when care aligns with the person, everything works better—body, budget, and spirit.If this conversation sparked ideas, share it with your care circle. Follow and subscribe for more candid, solutions-focused episodes, and leave a review to help other caregivers find us. Your story could be the seed for the next big change.For more information about the Chanda Center, visit ChandaCenter.org. Exec.

Alzheimer's often reveals itself around the holiday table, when families see one another more closely than usual. My guest this week, author and longtime caregiver Carol Steinberg, knows that experience well. Her father was diagnosed decades ago, long before the disease was widely understood, and the journey reshaped her life. She eventually helped lead one of the largest Alzheimer's organizations in the country and continues to write for Voices of Alzheimer's, staying close to the families living with this disease every day. We talked about what gives her hope now. More people are being diagnosed earlier. New treatments can slow the progression for some. Communities are offering more practical support, and families are learning how to build what Carol calls "bunkers," healthy habits and safeguards that strengthen the whole household. One of the most meaningful parts of our conversation was how Alzheimer's affects children and grandchildren. Carol regrets that she sometimes pulled her own daughters back from their grandfather. Her new children's book, Come Grandpa Meow, Let's Fly, helps families give kids the language and confidence to stay connected rather than afraid. She offers simple ideas that help children engage in small, steady ways, which can lift the spirits of everyone involved. Caregivers often lose independence, connection, and identity. Children lose clarity when they are pushed to the sidelines. Carol and I both believe the better path is to walk toward one another, even when the road is rough. There is sorrow in Alzheimer's, but there is also purpose, comfort, and moments of unexpected grace when families choose connection instead of retreat. If you have a loved one with Alzheimer's, or if you wonder how to explain the changes to your children or grandchildren, I think this conversation will encourage you. There is life beyond the diagnosis, and there is a way to face it together.

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I'm a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients. Dr. Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist and CEO of the Healthy Heart Network, discusses the importance of understanding inflammation for overall health. He explains that while acute inflammation is a beneficial response to injury, chronic low-grade inflammation is linked to serious health issues like heart disease, Alzheimer's, type 2 diabetes, and cancer. Causes of chronic inflammation include modern lifestyle factors such as highly processed foods, visceral fat (fat surrounding organs), sedentary behavior, poor sleep, stress, and environmental toxins. Gingivitis is also mentioned as a common chronic infection that can contribute to inflammation. Detecting inflammation can be done through specific blood tests like high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (HS CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), though general markers like high triglycerides, low HDL, insulin resistance, and increased waist circumference can also be indicators.

«Quédate aquí —dijo la mujer aparentando afecto—. Aquí vas a estar bien. Verás correr a los perritos y te vas a entretener.» Luego puso una bolsa con pañales a su lado y una nota escrita que decía: «Me llamo John King; padezco la enfermedad de Alzheimer», y desapareció, abandonando al anciano en una pista de carreras de perros. La que abandonó al anciano era Sue Gifford, mujer de cuarenta y un años de edad. El anciano abandonado era su propio padre, de ochenta y dos años, víctima de Alzheimer. Para librarse de la carga que significa esa enfermedad, la hija lo llevó a una pista de carreras de perros y lo abandonó en su silla de ruedas. El juez la condenó a seis años de prisión. Este caso, que apareció en uno de los periódicos de Estados Unidos, conmovió a toda la comunidad. Se sabe que la enfermedad de Alzheimer es dolorosa. Deja a la persona totalmente inhabilitada. Ya no puede valerse por sí misma. Es un caso patético del ser humano que ha perdido lo mejor que tiene: la chispa de la inteligencia. Esa es la condición de la víctima de Alzheimer. Es una muerte en vida. No obstante, hay una ley universal que descansa sobre el ser humano: «Honra a tu padre y a tu madre, para que disfrutes de una larga vida en la tierra que te da el Señor tu Dios» (Éxodo 20:12). Es el quinto mandamiento del decálogo de Moisés. Abandonar a los padres ancianos por cualquier causa que sea, y especialmente si es sólo por quitarnos de encima el estorbo que ellos nos resultan, es el colmo de la ingratitud y el desprecio. En muchos lugares hay establecimientos excelentes que se especializan en prestar la atención debida a los ancianos. Y muchos hijos, con sabiduría y cariño, internan allí a sus progenitores inhabilitados. Pero no los abandonan. Los visitan. Y los hijos se toman el tiempo de estar con ellos, mostrando preocupación y ternura. Sin embargo, cuando los hijos no tienen la facilidad de internar a sus padres en lugares como esos, tienen que ponerse en juego otros recursos. En tales casos hace falta un amor muy especial y un cariño único. El mandamiento de honrar a nuestros padres viene de Dios. También vienen de Dios, para quien los desee, la inspiración, la paciencia y la determinación de proceder conforme a los eternos y justos mandamientos divinos. Honremos a nuestro padre y a nuestra madre. Algún día seremos nosotros los que recibamos esa honra. Hermano PabloUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton are honored to welcome Nancy Nelson & Kat Hartley as guests to the show. About Nancy Nelson "dangle" Co-Founder, dangle & dot: Diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's in 2013, Nancy Nelson transformed fear into creativity and purpose. In the quiet hours following her diagnosis, she began writing words and phrases that seemed to "fall from the sky"—a healing practice that deepened her understanding of both her own and her father's dementia journeys. Following a second diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment in 2018, Nancy continued to embrace life with courage and grace plus a brain healthy lifestyle. She is the author of three acclaimed poetry collections—Blue. River. Apple.—which chronicles her personal experience with dementia. An Alzheimer's advocate and public speaker, Nancy shares her story at education and policy events, participates in dementia research, and leads support groups for individuals in the early stages of the disease. Known for her uplifting honesty and creative voice, Nancy uses poetry and social media to reframe how the world sees dementia—not as an ending, but as a call to live fully, not fearfully. About Kat Hartley, BS Pharm "dot", Co-Founder, dangle & dot: Kat Hartley has spent every decade of her life on the emotional, financial, and spiritual rollercoaster of Alzheimer's Disease—having lost seven beloved relatives to it. The lessons and loss of her joyous father, who lived with dementia, continue to inspire her mission to help others live well. A pharmacist by training, Kat has dedicated her career to advancing Alzheimer's research, treatment, and care. She began her professional journey at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, then served with the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health. Today, Kat is a brain health consultant, speaker, and author who promotes healthy lifestyle practices, mindfulness meditation, and community connection as pathways to prevent or delay dementia. Kat finds deep joy and a surprising re-discovery of self-worth as a full-time family care partner for her mother and brother. About dangle & dot Company Bio: dangle & dot delight when inspiring people to explore, with curiosity and willingness, the new possibilities one can discover despite the inherent challenges of cognitive changes. The company is novel as it includes a diagnosis-facing co-founder actively involved with operations and business development, with the goal of creating a new template for people living with dementia to own a business.
What if I told you that the moment you break your femur, you have a 30% chance of dying — and a 50% chance of never going home again? In this minisode, I share the most shocking moments from my conversation with orthopedic surgeon and longevity expert Dr. Vonda Wright, and why bone health is one of the biggest blind spots in women's health. Dr. Wright reveals that “the minute you fall and break this bone… you have a 30% chance of dying from the complications” — pneumonia, UTIs, bedsores — and “a 50% chance of not returning to the home where you came from.” We also break down her viral MRI comparison: the thigh of a sedentary 74-year-old vs. a 40-year-old vs. a 74-year-old triathlete — and how the active 74-year-old looks nearly identical to the 40-year-old. Aging is not the enemy; inaction is. If you're in your 30s, 40s, or beyond, this is your wake-up call:You can change the trajectory of your health if you start early enough.

Mark was born on Camp LeJeune, NC a place that had contaminated water the vets and their families consumed. It contributed to him developing Parkinson's and Alzheimer's due to the toxins. He found some Japanese studies on a natural seed that cured all the mice. He developed the supplement MyBrainRestore.com and was able to regain his balance and cognitive health back. He works with the Michael J. Fox Foundation and I encouraged him to reach out to HHS and the VA as there was a fire that burned all the military records of those at Camp LeJeune.

Feeling like an emotional mess lately? What if the secret to calming your anxiety and depression isn't in your head—it's actually in your gut. This episode breaks down why your digestive system might be calling the shots on your mood, and the simple supplements for emotional vitality that actually work.Jenn Trepeck is joined by natural health educator Jared St. Clair on Salad With a Side of Fries to get real about the brain-gut connection. They're dishing on everything from spore-based probiotics to why your gut microbiome might be eating all your serotonin before it reaches your brain. Plus, Jared shares which magnesium and omega-3s are worth your money, and why your self-talk matters more than you think. What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ Why gut health and mental health issues are connected and how fixing your leaky gut and microbiome first (before your brain) can dramatically reduce anxiety and depression—plus the specific spore-based probiotics that actually rebuild your gut long-term✅ The five essential supplements everyone should consider: a great multivitamin, omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium bisglycinate, probiotics, and digestive enzymes—and why these support neurotransmitter production and brain-gut connection✅ How ATP energy production in your brain affects mental clarity and mood, plus why creatine isn't just for athletes but is actually a "no-brainer" for preventing brain fog and supporting mental wellness✅ The power of mindset work and your reticular activating system (RAS)—why what you tell yourself matters more than any supplement, and how to stop sabotaging your health with negative self-talkThe Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry.

How do you tell stories that not only inform but inspire people to act? In this episode of Nonprofit Nation, I'm joined by Caroline Keylock, co-founder of LookUP, a global storytelling consultancy helping nonprofits, brands, and agencies harness the power of narrative to drive growth, connection, and impact.Caroline shares her unique perspective drawn from both the nonprofit and commercial sectors, including her work with Wikimedia, Alzheimer's organizations, and The Communications Network. Her message is clear: in a noisy world filled with apathy and misinformation, storytelling is not a nice-to-have - it's absolutely essential.
Obesity increases Alzheimer's risk by altering how fat-derived vesicles communicate with the brain, causing amyloid proteins to misfold and form toxic plaques that damage neurons and impair cognition Specific lipids from obese individuals, including sphingolipids and ceramides, create oxidative stress in brain cells, reduce mitochondrial energy production, and accelerate the formation of sticky amyloid aggregates Excessive fat consumption promotes Alzheimer's development, though balanced, controlled intake at lower concentrations helps inhibit amyloid aggregation and reduce disease risk Leptin resistance from obesity prevents this protective hormone from reaching the brain, disabling the cleanup process that normally breaks down amyloid proteins while worsening inflammation and cognitive decline Cellular health restoration requires eliminating four key factors — excess linoleic acid from vegetable oils, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, electromagnetic fields, and endotoxins in the gut
Millions of women in their 30s–50s are being told they're “depressed” when their brains and hormones are simply changing. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz to unpack the truth about midlife mood shifts, rage, and the hormonal fluctuations that mimic depression but aren't the same. We break down the science of perimenopause, why women are so often misdiagnosed, and how decades of excluding women from research left major gaps in understanding how estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone shape the brain. Dr. Gilberg-Lenz reveals how hormonal changes—starting up to ten years before menopause—can transform mood, cognition, and stress, and how modern science is finally catching up to just how powerfully hormones influence the mind. About the guest:Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz is a board-certified OB/GYN and integrative women's health expert who blends conventional medicine with Ayurvedic training. A USC-trained physician with a residency at Cedars-Sinai, she supports women from adolescence through menopause and is the author of Menopause Bootcamp (Harper Wave, 2022). Her work focuses on demystifying midlife, challenging ageism in healthcare, and empowering women with science-based guidance.

This episode is brought to you by Fatty15, WHOOP and Timeline. Dr. Patrick Porter, PhD joins us today to break down what brain fitness really means and why modern life is overwhelming a biological system that was never designed for today's pace. Dr. Porter explains how brain energy, neuroplasticity, breathwork, mitochondria, sleep architecture, stress physiology, light exposure, and daily rituals all influence our ability to think clearly, recover deeply, and perform at a high level. We explore the science behind neurogenesis, the glymphatic system, alpha and delta brainwave states, the impact of sugar and artificial sweeteners on cognitive decline, how breathing and light frequencies regulate the nervous system, and why most people are unknowingly compromising their sleep, metabolism, and cognitive output. Packed with actionable tools—from box breathing and SMR training to healthier morning routines, supplements, and digital hygiene—this episode is a masterclass on how to build a sharper brain and age better.
