The Eaton Fire Destroyed Altadena's Lush Greenery. These Volunteers Are Growing It Back The Eaton Fire was merciless when it came to  Altadena's celebrated green spaces, destroying or damaging most of the leafy trees that lined the streets in many neighborhoods. Reporter Steven Cuevas tells us how local advocates are scrambling to restore what was lost and save what's still standing.   A Post-War Program is Influencing Home Rebuilds in the Pacific Palisades A year after the Palisades Fire, rebuilding has been slow. But some local architects have been thinking about ways to move things along, taking inspiration from a 1940s post-war project. One of the goals of the Case Study House program was to build homes quickly, using inexpensive materials. The idea ended up revolutionizing architecture and forever linking Los Angeles with the mid-century modern home. KCRW's Brandon Reynolds tells us how a new version of that program could help fire survivors get back into homes faster, and maybe even start another architectural renaissance. How a Bay Area Program Helps Unhoused Residents Become Protectors of Their Environment Researchers estimate 10% of California's unhoused population lives along waterways. In the absence of enough affordable housing and shelter, it feels like the best of bad options for many. But trash and other hazardous materials can bring detrimental effects to these waterways. So a Bay Area pilot program is teaching unhoused residents ecological literacy and creek restoration. It's a novel approach to address the environmental harms brought on by the growing number of unhoused people setting up camp along creeks and canals in California.  Music Creates Connections for Bay Area Residents and Families Confronting Memory Loss Studies have found that music can actually help with diseases associated with cognitive decline like Alzheimer's or dementia. At Sutter Health's Ray Dolby Brain Center in San Francisco, a monthly singing circle is offering respite and joy for people with memory loss and their caregivers. As part of our Community Connections series, The California Report Magazine's intern Srishti Prabha introduces us to a couple who help lead the group in song. Learn more about your ad choices.

What happens when one of the world's most technically trained medical specialists begins questioning the deeper nature of consciousness, healing, and the human operating system? In this fascinating conversation, Darin sits down with renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Amir Vokshoor, whose work sits at the intersection of cutting-edge brain surgery, regenerative medicine, mindfulness, and the philosophy of consciousness. From performing delicate brain and spine surgeries to creating a "Brain Spa" focused on nervous system healing, Dr. Vokshoor explores how modern medicine is beginning to merge with ancient wisdom, emerging technologies, and a deeper understanding of the human mind. Together they unpack the future of spine medicine, stem cells, psychedelics, meditation, chronic pain, consciousness, and why collaboration across disciplines may be the only way to truly understand the brain. This episode explores one of the most fascinating questions in modern science: How much of our health—and even our identity—is shaped by the stories our brain tells us?     What You'll Learn Why neurosurgical training is one of the most demanding disciplines in medicine and how it shapes the psychology of surgeons The pivotal moments that changed Dr. Amir Vokshoor's view of medicine, including witnessing his father's battle with Alzheimer's Why modern healthcare often focuses on treating symptoms instead of understanding the root causes of neurological disease How the brain, gut, immune system, and environment work together as an integrated "grander nervous system" The science behind chronic pain and why it often becomes a brain-based condition rather than just a structural injury How regenerative medicine, including PRP, stem cells, and exosomes, is transforming the future of spine care Why back pain is the most disabling condition in the world and how new surgical technologies are changing treatment The role of mindfulness, visualization, and intention in surgical performance and patient healing How psychedelics and therapies like ketamine are opening new pathways for treating trauma, depression, and chronic pain Why our thoughts, beliefs, and repeated mental patterns may shape not only our behavior, but our long-term health and identity     Chapters

It requires humility, collaboration, and the courage to explore both the mechanical and the mystical dimensions of being human.

According to the Alzheimer's Association, nearly seven million Americans currently suffer from that type of dementia. Experts expect that more will be burdened with it in the future, as baby boomers continue to reach advanced ages. Many people are eager to protect the brain from deterioration.

In this episode of the Future of Fitness Podcast, host Eric Malzone sits down with Chris Mirabile, founder of NOVOS, to unpack the science and business of longevity. Chris shares how surviving a brain tumor as a teenager reshaped his perspective on health and pushed him to study aging at a biological level. The conversation dives into what longevity actually means beyond buzzwords—how it differs from simply living a healthy lifestyle, why healthspan matters just as much as lifespan, and the science behind targeting the biological "hallmarks of aging." Chris also explains why some popular trends like hormone optimization and peptides are more complex than they seem, and how NOVOS approaches longevity by addressing the root cellular mechanisms that drive aging, disease risk, and long-term performance. Key Takeaways:

 ChatGPT has been in the news a lot lately and, as a result, quite a few STEM-Talk listeners have tossed us questions about the reliability and limitations of generative-artificial intelligence chatbots as well as large-language models more broadly.  Ken and Dawn tackle this question and a number of others in today's Ask Me Anything episode. We have listeners wondering why astronauts train in underwater conditions for spacewalks; icebreakers in antarctica; the value of supplementing with urolithin-A; and the effectiveness of L-citrulline in helping aging blood vessels. Ken also weights in on questions related to lithium deficiency and the onset of Alzheimer's disease; a study that found mTOR activation may not be necessary for ketamine's beneficial effects in the context of depression; and a paper that demonstrated short-term mTOR inhibition by rapamycin improved cardiac and endothelial function in older men. Show notes: [00:02:49] Ken opens our AMA with a listener question for Dawn, which asks why, despite the differences between diving and zero-gravity environments, why do astronauts train in underwater conditions for spacewalks. The listener goes on to mention an article they read about NASA's neutral buoyancy lab in Houston, which contains a partial replica of the International Space Station. [00:07:42] A listener asks Ken if he is still optimistic about the value of supplementing with urolithin-A, and if so, is there a brand he recommends. Ken mentions episodes 118, with Julie Anderson, and 173, with Anurag Singh. Ken also discusses a paper titled “Effect of the mitophagy inducer urolithin A on age related immune decline, a randomized placebo-controlled trial” co-authored by Anurag. Ken also mentions clinical research supporting the urolithin-A supplement Mitopure. [00:10:53] A listener asks Ken about a paper titled “Short-term mTOR inhibition by rapamycin improves cardiac and endothelial function in older men: a proof-of-concept pilot study.” [00:14:29] Ken discusses a 2020 paper from a research group at Yale, which suggested that mTOR activation may not be necessary for ketamine's beneficial effects in the context of depression. The paper also reported that m-TOR suppression via rapamycin might prolong ketamine's antidepressant effects. [00:18:47] A research scientist formerly working in Antarctica asks Ken about Russia's dominance in the realm of ice breakers. [00:23:55] A listener mentions that for some people, when they used ChatGPT to ask about the assassination of political commentator Charlie Kirk, ChatGPT sometimes responded by denying the assassination occurred. The listener asks Ken about the credibility and reliability of generative AI and large-language models. [00:28:49] Several listeners have submitted questions for Ken regarding a paper published in Nature in August of last year titled “Lithium deficiency in the onset of Alzheimer's disease.” Ken gives his thoughts on this paper. [00:31:56] For our final question this AMA, a listener asks Ken about the arginine paradox, which regards L-arginine, which is used by the body to make nitric oxide, which is necessary to relax and maintain flexibility of blood vessels. However, several papers have reported that supplementation of arginine does not reliably improve aging blood vessels. In contrast, recent research suggests that L-citrulline might be more effective. The listeners sent questions asking about the possible effects of citrulline in vascular health and aging. In his answer, Ken cites the following papers: — Administration of L-arginine plus L-citrulline or L-citrulline alone successfully retarded endothelial senescence. — Effects of L-Citrulline Supplementation on Endothelial Function, Arterial Stiffness, and Blood Glucose Level in the Fasted and Acute Hyperglycemic States in Middle-Aged and Older Adults with Type 2 Diabetes. — Citrulline Supplementation Improves Microvascular Function and Muscle Strength in Middle-Aged and Older Adults with Type 2 Diabetes. — Effects of L-citrulline supplementation and watermelon intake on arterial stiffness and endothelial function in middle-aged and older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. — Citrulline regulates macrophage metabolism and inflammation to counter aging in mice.

View This Week's Show NotesStart Your 7-Day Trial to Mobility CoachJoin Our Free Weekly Newsletter: The AmbushWhat if the biggest predictor of dementia isn't your genes — but your metabolic health?In this episode, neuroscientist and performance coach Dr. Tommy Wood reveals why blood sugar regulation and blood pressure are more powerful predictors of Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline than amyloid plaques or even genetics like ApoE4.For decades, Alzheimer's has been framed as either a genetic lottery or the inevitable buildup of amyloid in the brain. But emerging research shows that metabolic dysfunction, insulin resistance, and vascular health may play a far greater role in determining long-term brain outcomes.Instead of focusing on fear, this conversation delivers a practical blueprint for building cognitive reserve and “cognitive headroom” — the brain's ability to stay resilient, adaptable, and high-performing as you age.You'll learn why crossword puzzles aren't enough, how high-intensity exercise and resistance training stimulate brain-derived neurotrophic factors (BDNF), why lactate may act like “Miracle-Gro” for your neurons, and how to interpret early warning signs like subjective brain fog.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy Alzheimer's isn't just about amyloid plaquesThe powerful link between blood sugar and cognitive declineHow genetics (like ApoE4) increase risk — but don't seal your fateWhat “cognitive headroom” means and how to build itWhy high-intensity exercise may act as Miracle-Gro for the brainThe surprising role of resistance training in brain healthWhat subjective brain fog might be telling youHow menopause affects cognition — and what's reversibleWhy boredom and focus matter more than we thinkThe kinds of skills you should keep practicing as you ageFor women navigating perimenopause and menopause, Dr. Wood explains what cognitive changes are hormonally driven, what's reversible, and how to protect long-term brain health.Whether your goal is preventing Alzheimer's disease, improving focus and processing speed, or becoming a cognitive “superager,” this episode provides evidence-based strategies to help you build a brain that is robust, metabolically healthy, and built to last.Key Highlights: (00:00) – Brain Health & Cognitive Longevity Intro(00:35) – Brain Evolution & Survival Mechanisms(02:53) – Diabetes & Alzheimer's Disease Link(07:31) – Genetic Risk & Dementia Family History(11:32) – Expanding Brain Capacity & Headroom(15:08) – Cognitive Reserve & Brain Resilience(19:55) – Preventing Age-Related Cognitive Decline(23:00) – Exercise Data for Brain Health(26:16) – Best Exercises for Cognitive Function(35:11) – Amyloid Plaques & Alzheimer's Pathology(38:00) – Amyloid-Targeting Drugs & Treatments(40:31) – Subjective Cognitive Decline Measures(45:04) – Testing & Measuring Brain Performance(49:58) – Menopause & Female Brain Health(56:10) – Aging Brain, Wisdom & Intelligence(1:05:00) – Cognitive Processing Speed & Aging(1:07:07) – Benefits of Boredom for the Brain(1:12:17) – Book Recommendations for Mental GrowthConnect with Dr. Tommy WoodWebsite | Substack | InstagramPre-Order The Stimulated Mind for tons of extra perks!Huge thanks to our sponsors, Momentous, Vitality, and LMNT.

In this episode of the Gladden Longevity Podcast, Dr. Jeffrey Gladden and neurologist Dr. Majid Fotuhi discuss building an "Invincible Brain." Challenging the myth that cognitive decline is inevitable, Dr. Fotuhi outlines five pillars—exercise, sleep, nutrition, stress management, and brain training, proven to increase brain volume and neuroplasticity. The discussion highlights how racket sports and balance training activate the cerebellum to boost overall function and reduce Alzheimer's risk. By consistently challenging the nervous system, you can shift the aging paradigm, achieving mental sharpness and vitality well into your 80s and 90s.

For decades, midlife has been framed as a time of decline for women — medically, culturally, and personally. Halle Berry is on a mission to change that. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, she shares how her own menopause journey exposed how little real support exists for the 60 million women navigating this transition. That experience ultimately led her to create ReSpin, the community she couldn't find when she needed it. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. We discuss: • Why menopause is often missed — and how to take back control of your energy, mood, and metabolism • What changes in your brain, bones, and muscle and how to protect them in midlife • How comprehensive testing gives you a personalized roadmap for this phase of life • Why fatigue, low libido, and brain fog aren't “just aging” — and what improves when you address the root cause Your second act can be your strongest. It's a chance to reclaim your strength, your energy, and your future on your own terms. This conversation was recorded live at the Eudēmonia Summit.

Former University of Denver chancellor Rebecca Chopp made significant life changes when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2019. Now, new tests indicate she may have been misdiagnosed. She shares her journey as she works to raise awareness about preventing cognitive decline and new testing diagnostics as she continues to embrace life to its fullest. Then, the challenges of relitigating the trial of a man convicted more than 30 years ago in a series of Western Slope pipe bombings. Also, Denver Pride's new vision amid construction on Colfax and in Civic Center. And, we remember Colorado centenarian Nancy Tipton. 

Dr. Majid Fotuhi, neurologist, neuroscientist, and adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins University, has spent decades studying how the brain ages and what determines whether cognitive performance declines or strengthens over time. In this discussion, he challenges one of the most widely accepted assumptions about aging: that deterioration of memory and thinking is inevitable. The evidence, he explains, points in a different direction. Cognitive health is strongly shaped by daily choices, and meaningful improvements can occur within weeks when those choices change.  Fotuhi organizes the science of cognitive resilience around five pillars: exercise, sleep, nutrition, stress management, and brain training. Each pillar affects the brain through measurable biological mechanisms. Exercise, for example, increases mitochondrial activity and stimulates the growth of new neurons in regions responsible for memory. Even modest activity matters. Walking several thousand steps daily has been associated with reduced markers of Alzheimer's disease in the brain, while higher fitness levels correlate with stronger cognitive performance.  Sleep represents the second pillar. Consistent rest of seven to eight hours supports the brain's ability to regulate stress hormones and maintain cognitive clarity. Persistent sleep disruption is often tied not to physiology but to unresolved concerns. Fotuhi notes that many professionals carry a large number of unresolved problems into the night. Creating clear plans for addressing those issues often reduces anxiety enough for normal sleep patterns to return. Nutrition is the third pillar. Highly processed foods, particularly those containing trans fats, increase inflammation and are associated with smaller volumes in the hippocampus, the region of the brain responsible for memory. By contrast, a Mediterranean-style diet rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, and olive oil supports long-term brain health. Food, in this sense, functions as daily neurological input rather than simple fuel.  The fourth pillar is stress regulation. Chronic stress elevates cortisol, which can damage memory-related brain structures over time. Fotuhi emphasizes that much stress is generated internally through expectations and repeated negative thought patterns. Techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy, meditation, and deliberate reframing help interrupt these cycles and allow the brain to operate in a more stable state.  The final pillar is brain training. Cognitive capacity strengthens when the brain is consistently challenged through activities that require learning and adaptation. Language study, music, strategic games, or complex physical skills all stimulate neural pathways. The key is sustained engagement in activities that are both demanding and enjoyable. The brain, like muscle, develops strength through repeated use. Underlying these pillars is a broader insight about aging itself. Fotuhi argues that the second half of life can be a period of cognitive growth rather than decline if individuals adopt the habits that support brain health. The goal is not merely to avoid disease but to maintain clarity, memory, and mental energy well into later decades. For senior professionals whose performance depends on sustained cognitive capacity, the implications are practical. The brain remains highly adaptable. With deliberate attention to exercise, sleep, diet, stress, and learning, cognitive capability can be preserved and, in many cases, strengthened over time.

If you've ever been dismissed, minimized, or given outdated advice about menopause — this video is for you. Every week in my clinic, I hear the same myths repeated to intelligent, capable women who simply want to feel like themselves again. Unfortunately, misinformation around menopause and hormone therapy is still everywhere — even inside medical offices. Today, I'm addressing 10 of the most common (and harmful) things women are told about menopause — and explaining what the science actually says. We'll discuss: • “Hormone replacement is dangerous. Just take birth control pills.” • “You're only 42 — you're too young for menopause.” • “Your labs are normal, so it can't be menopause.” • “You must wait a full year after your last period to start hormones.” • “You can't start hormones after 60 — or you must stop at 60.” • “Hormones aren't FDA-approved for heart disease or Alzheimer's, so they don't help.” • “You can't take hormones if you have a family history of breast cancer.” • “Testosterone is only for men.” • “Testosterone is just for libido.” • “You can never take estrogen or progesterone after breast cancer.” Menopause care is nuanced. It's individualized. And it should be rooted in evidence — not fear. I'll walk you through what we know today about menopausal hormone therapy, testosterone therapy for women, timing, safety, and why so many women are still being told outdated information. You deserve clarity. You deserve options. And you deserve a provider who understands midlife physiology.

Dex Randall explains how chronic stress keeps the body in survival mode through ongoing cortisol activation, damaging brain function, health, and longevity even when you feel “fine” today. He contrasts normal stress (fight/flight followed by reset) with chronic stress (no reset). Over the long term, stress dysregulates the nervous system, increases inflammation, accelerates aging, and is linked to diseases including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, depression,  and neurodegeneration. He outlines strategies to re-regulate the nervous system at work (boundaries, priorities, stopping after hours) and at home (morning daylight, movement, eating early, delaying caffeine, slow breathing, social connection, “no emotional escape,” and vagus-nerve box breathing.)Ask Dex AI Coach "How can I recover from fight-or-flight?" at https://app.coachvox.ai/share/DexRandallSubscribe for more leadership and burnout recovery insights →  https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7393784577229709312Refs#1 https://www.sciencetimes.com/articles/61405/20260303/hidden-impact-stress-what-stress-science-reveals-about-cortisol-effects-mental-health-biology.htm#2 https://thriveworks.com/help-with/feelings-emotions/dysregulated-nervous-system/#3 https://www.brainzmagazine.com/post/workplace-stress-impact-on-your-nervous-system#4 https://www.healthline.com/health/telomeres#significance#5 https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/the-human-brain-may-contain-as-much-as-a-spoons-worth-of-microplastics-new-research-suggests-180985995/Send a text----------------------------------- Resources:Leadership without Burnout https://go.dexrandall.com/leadershipDex AI Coach https://app.coachvox.ai/share/dexrandallConfidential.

80% of all autoimmune diseases occur in women, and no one can explain why. Cancer cells are always present in your body, but it's only when your T cells go into energy deficit that cancer starts overtaking the system. And here's what almost no one is talking about: the mitochondria in your immune cells are the reason MS, chronic fatigue, neurodegeneration, and even cancer progression happen when they happen. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Anurag Singh, MD, PhD immunologist who spent 20 years studying mitochondria and screened 4000 compounds from pomegranates to discover one molecule that changes cellular aging. We break down immunometabolism, the emerging field linking immune health and metabolism, why your T regulatory cells are the CEOs of your immune system, how mitochondrial dysfunction in immune cells triggers autoimmune conditions, and why rejuvenating mitochondria can get your immune system in check to defeat cancer. We also cover NAD+ (and why NMN and NR supplements don't work the way people think), the creatine sweet spot for muscle quality (500mg-1g, not the 5g everyone's taking), why Parkinson's is linked to paraquat, a mitochondrial toxin used in fertilizers and dry cleaning and how AI is fast-tracking the discovery of next-generation molecules for neurodegeneration. This conversation completely shifted how I think about immune health, brain protection, and what's actually driving the diseases we fear most.

Gut health and migraines may be more connected than you've ever been told — and if you've been waiting for your migraines to “just go away” after menopause, this episode might change everything.  Migraines are now being viewed as a symptom of deeper dysfunction in the brain, gut, mitochondria, and vascular system — not just a hormonal inconvenience.  If you're tired of powering through, relying on quick fixes, or wondering why nothing seems to work long-term, this episode gives you a smarter path forward. We might have been overlooking the missing link between gut health and migraines. My Guest: Dr. Amelia Scott Barrett is a Stanford-trained neurologist and founder of Migraine Relief Code, where she pioneers a precision medicine approach to chronic headaches and migraine. She created the first genetic testing panel designed specifically for people with migraine, helping patients identify their unique Genetic Headache Type and follow customized recovery protocols that combine medical care, nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle strategies. A TEDx speaker and author of the upcoming book ALIGN: Live the Way You're Wired to Relieve Headaches + Migraine for Good, her work has been featured in Business Insider and Women's World.  After launching her private neurology practice in Denver in 2003, she founded Migraine Relief Code in 2019 to bring personalized, science-driven solutions to people worldwide. Dr. Barrett is passionate about addressing migraine as a women's health crisis, empowering women to relieve pain, protect their earning power, and reclaim their lives. Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:12:17] What are some of the genetic problems that can cause issues with gut health and migraines? [00:20:02] What is your #1 recommendation that women can start now for improving gut health and reducing migraines?  [00:22:06] What medications work for migraine? [00:29:40] Is there a connection between chronic migraine with dementia or Alzheimer's?  [00:31:40] What can women in midlife do to help improve the gut and reduce migraine severity or frequency?

Most people obsess over lifespan—but what if the real metric that matters is healthspan? In this powerful conversation, Dr. JC Doornick sits down with world-renowned longevity expert Oz Garcia to unpack why so many people feel depleted, foggy, and biologically older than their years—even when their labs say they're “fine.” From post-COVID fatigue and chronic inflammation to mitochondrial health, cellular energy, brain vitality, and the responsible use of peptides as signaling molecules, this episode dives deep into what actually drives aging—and how to reverse the biological drift. If you've been asking, “Why am I always tired?” or wondering how to stay sharp, resilient, and fully alive after 40 or 50, this conversation will reframe everything you thought you knew about longevity. This isn't about hacks. It's about protecting your energy, preserving your brain, and staying in the game for decades to come.

Nutritional Support for Brain Health: Lifestyle, Curcumin, Magnesium, and Key Nootropics: Nutrition educator/formulator Neil Levin from Protocol for Life Balance details nutritional support for brain health amid skepticism about “brain-boosting” supplements, citing a preprint randomized controlled trial using a multifaceted lifestyle plan (diet, exercise, sleep) plus targeted supplementation that reportedly improved and even reversed symptoms in people with mild cognitive impairment. They contrast lifestyle strategies with costly, side-effect-prone injectable “plaque-buster” Alzheimer's drugs and notes debate about whether amyloid is a root cause or byproduct. The conversation highlights inflammation and oxidation as major aging-related brain threats and reviews supplements including a brain-targeted curcumin (discussing bioavailability, delivery methods, blood–brain barrier crossing, and claims of lowering beta-amyloid protein), magnesium L-threonate for CNS delivery, phosphatidylserine and acetylcholine support (including huperzine), ginkgo and gotu kola, glutamine/GABA pathways, creatine, omega-3s (DHA/EPA and algae sources), B vitamins, acetyl-L-carnitine, alpha-lipoic acid, and cocoa flavanols, plus concerns about supplement industry enforcement.

Discover the unseen world of long-term care in this revealing episode. We explore the powerful documentary, People Worth Caring About. Consequently, we dismantle common stereotypes about nursing homes and assisted living. For many, family caregiving feels isolating. Therefore, we shine a light on the incredible impact of professional caregivers. First, we discuss the severe staffing crisis facing the industry. Then, we look at the positive shifts happening nationwide. Moreover, you will hear firsthand accounts of the profound joy and dignity these careers offer. Our guest shares inspiring stories of young people drawn to this mission. Furthermore, we examine how advocacy and creative projects are driving change. We also delve into the critical need to elevate pay for professional caregivers. Ultimately, we offer ways former family caregivers, like me, can become advocates. This can help support the future of professional caregivers and the seniors they serve. Tune in to understand why this work is more vital than ever. Our Guests: Peter Murphy & Erin Hart Peter Murphy Lewis is the creator and host of People Worth Caring About, a docuseries that spotlights caregivers and reframes how we see long-term care. Erin Hart is Strategy Director at the Ohio Health Care Association (OHCA). She played a key role in bringing People Worth Caring About to life in Ohio, helping connect the stories of caregivers to the wider community. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Related Episodes: Navigating MCI - Not The End of The Road, Just A Bend in The Road Practical Strategies for Coping with Cognitive Changes ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sign Up for more Advice & Wisdom - email newsletter. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Please help us keep our show going by supporting our sponsors.

Your hippocampus isn't a fixed shape, it's a garden. With the right sleep, movement, and purpose, it can actually grow larger and stronger at any age. In this episode, Sharlee Dixon sits down with Dr. Majid Fotuhi, a pioneering neurologist and neuroscientist with more than 35 years of experience in brain health, memory, neuroplasticity, and the prevention of Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Fotuhi earned his PhD in neuroscience from Johns Hopkins, completed his medical training at Harvard Medical School, and returned to Johns Hopkins for his neurology residency, where he now serves as an adjunct professor. Known for translating complex brain science into practical tools, his award-winning work has helped thousands improve memory, focus, and clarity. His expertise has been featured on CNN, NBC News, the Today Show, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and more. He is also the author of the new book “The Invincible Brain: The Clinically Proven Plan to Age-Proof Your Brain and Stay Sharp for Life.” In this conversation, Dr. Fotuhi shares the science behind his 12-week program and the everyday habits, movement, nutrition, mindset, stress control, purpose, and even embracing boredom, that help prevent cognitive decline and keep your mind sharp for life.   For more information about Dr. Majid Fotuhi, please visit: https://drfotuhi.com For more information about “The Invisible Brain: The Clinically Proven Plan to Age-Proof Your Brain and Stay Sharp for Life” by Dr. Majid Fotuhi, MD, PhD, please visit: https://drfotuhi.com/pre-order/ For more information about Dr. Fotuhi's online courses, please visit: https://drfotuhi.com/online-course-app/ For more information about The Invincible Brain App, please visit: https://invincible.drfotuhi.com Connect with Dr. Fotuhi on social media: Connect on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrFotuhi Connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_fotuhi/ Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.fotuhi Connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drmajidfotuhi Connect on X: https://x.com/drfotuhi

Decline can be slowed and even reversed.”  If you've ever worried about brain fog, memory slips, menopause-related cognitive changes, or the risk of Alzheimer's disease, this is an episode you'll want to hear all the way through.  What you'll learn in this episode  Why Dr. Fotuhi says the brain is far more resilient and adaptable than most people think  The biggest myths about aging, memory loss, and Alzheimer's risk  How menopause can affect memory and cognition—and what women should understand  Why Alzheimer's is often a “soup of abnormalities,” not one simple disease process  The difference between genetics and epigenetics (and why family history is not destiny)  What the newest blood biomarker tests can reveal—and their limitations  What a proper, proactive brain-health workup should include  Dr. Fotuhi's five pillars of brain health: exercise, sleep, nutrition, stress management, and brain training  Practical first steps you can take now to protect your brain and lower your risk over time  This is one of the most important AGE BETTER conversations I've had on the show, and I'm so glad to share it with you.  If this episode helps you, please share it with a friend or family member who needs to hear it.  And as always, I'd love to hear from you—send me your ideas for future episodes at agebetterpodcast@gmail.com and connect with me on social media.

The new semi-autobiographical play “The Reservoir” spins a comedic narrative around cognitive reserve, the idea that doing brain-stimulating activities can prevent or delay the onset of dementia symptoms. It's currently running at the Atlantic Theater Company and co-produced by The Ensemble Studio Theater in New York.*  Host Ira Flatow talks with playwright Jake Brasch about his inspiration for the play and how to mesh science into the theater.  Then, neurologist Marilyn Albert discusses some of the latest science of mental stimulation and dementia. After following a diverse group of older adults for 20 years, her research found that a modest amount of specialized cognitive training reduced dementia risk by 25%. You can try a very similar brain training exercise at home.  *“The Reservoir” received funding from the Sloan Foundation, which also helps support Science Friday. Guests: Jake Brasch is a writer, performer, composer, clown, and writer of the new play “The Reservoir.”  Dr. Marilyn Albert is a professor of neurology and director of the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at Johns Hopkins Medicine.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

In this episode, David Watumull breaks down the science behind astaxanthin — a powerful carotenoid antioxidant backed by over 4,000 peer-reviewed papers and 100+ human clinical trials — and explains why it may be one of the most underappreciated longevity compounds available today. The conversation explores how astaxanthin anchors across cellular membranes to protect mitochondria from oxidative stress, reduce chronic inflammation ("inflammaging"), support cardiovascular health by lowering oxidized LDL and CRP, and cross the blood-brain barrier to enhance cognitive function and neuroprotection. They also discuss its role in energy production, endurance performance, healthy aging, and a landmark NIH lifespan study showing a 12% extension in mammals. Ultimately, the episode reframes longevity not as chasing stimulants or shortcuts, but as protecting cellular integrity so the body can function the way it was designed to — for longer and at a higher level. ----- 00:00 – The Longevity Molecule You've Never Heard Of 02:45 – What Is Astaxanthin? 07:30 – How It Protects Your Cell Membranes 13:40 – Free Radicals & Oxidative Stress Explained 25:50 – Brain Health, Neuroplasticity & Mitochondria 29:40 – Cardiovascular Disease & Oxidized LDL 34:05 – Alzheimer's, MCI & Neuroprotection 43:00 – Energy Production & Mitochondrial Function 58:40 – Inflammaging & Longevity Pathways 1:03:40 – NIH Study: 12% Lifespan Extension 1:09:00 – Athletic Performance & Endurance 1:15:00 – Dosing, Absorption & Bioavailability 1:26:00 – Can Antioxidants Become Harmful? 1:30:00 – Why Isn't This Mainstream? 1:37:30 – Living Ever Forward ----- Episode resources: Save 20% with checkout code EVERFORWARD at https://www.AX3.Life.com Watch and subscribe on YouTube Learn more at https://ax3.life/pages/science 

Matt Walker investigates the "coffee paradox," revealing how your morning ritual acts as both a health ally and a silent sleep disruptor. While coffee provides life-extending antioxidants linked to lower risks of heart disease and Alzheimer's, its caffeine masks adenosine - the brain's signal for sleep pressure. Startling research shows that caffeine consumed even six hours before bed can strip away an hour of sleep, often without the sleeper ever realizing their sleep quality has been compromised.This episode outlines practical rules for timing and dosage based on your unique biology. Discover the "caffeine curfew," why genetics make many of us slow metabolizers, and how decaf provides an "antioxidant orchestra" without the sleep-disturbing "brass trumpet." By mastering these principles, you can enjoy the significant long-term health benefits of the bean while safeguarding the deep, restorative sleep necessary for your brain and body to recover every night.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 today's sponsors, David, is a revolutionary new protein bar that boasts an unbeatable ratio: 28g of protein and 0g of sugar in just 150 calories.

Hey Transformers, as we close out our longevity series,  I'm bringing back a powerful TYM Classic — and I'm re-airing this episode very intentionally. When we recorded this episode on epigenetics, it completely reframed the way I think about health, longevity, and regenerative health. It wasn't just science — it was empowerment. So many of us have been told that our genes determine our future. That if something “runs in the family,” it's inevitable. But this discussion opened up a different narrative — one rooted in research, lifestyle choices, and the power we actually have to influence how our genes express themselves.Summary: Myrna Young engages in an enlightening conversation with Dr. Matthew Dawson about the transformative influence of epigenetics on health. Understanding the pivotal role of epigenetics in shaping our DNA destiny, Dr. Dawson elaborates on how lifestyle choices markedly influence gene expression, highlighting that genetic predispositions only contribute a fraction to overall health outcomes compared to epigenetic factors. The episode delves into the importance of personalized healthcare plans, as demonstrated through case studies such as Dr. Dawson's mother, who effectively managed her risk of Alzheimer's through personalized lifestyle adjustments. Key Takeaways:Epigenetic Influence: Lifestyle choices, such as diet and exercise, are crucial in turning genes on or off, significantly affecting health outcomes.Personalized Healthcare: Utilizing genomics and epigenetics can lead to tailored healthcare plans that can mitigate genetic risks.Biological Age Understanding: Biological age tests offer a more precise measure of health and longevity than chronological age.Resource Utilization: Tools like Wild Health and True Diagnostic can aid in personalized health planning and prolonging health span.Sponsors of this episode: NOCD: If you're struggling with OCD or unrelenting intrusive thoughts, NOCD can help.

Your keys aren't lost. Your mind isn't going. And no, that's not Alzheimer's. Dr. Majid Fotuhi, Adjunct Professor, Johns Hopkins University & author of The Invincible Brain, busts the biggest myth in women's brain health: that the fog, the forgetfulness, and the "wait, why did I walk in here?" moments of perimenopause are a sign of something sinister. Spoiler: they're not. And your brain? It can literally grow. From the surprising science of how walking three times a week can give you a measurably bigger brain, to why your hearing aid might be the best thing you ever do for your memory, Dr. Fotuhi gives us proof that midlife isn't a decline — it's a new childhood. And this time, you're in charge.
