The tiny bean-shaped structures in your cells – mitochondria – are little powerhouses. Recent research suggests they may unlock overall good health, or, when they fail, cause diseases such as diabetes and Alzheimer's. How strong is the science for these claims and what, if anything, should we be doing to improve our mitochondrial health? Should we take a cue from influencers who suggest drinking an industrial dye called methylene blue? Meanwhile, there have been beefed up calls for adding protein to our diets by eating high protein ice cream, energy bars and huge slabs of meat. Protein builds muscles, but is the muscle of science behind these claims? This week, we consider recent health trends on Skeptic Check. Guests: Martin Picard – Professor of behavioral medicine and mitochondrial psychobiology at Columbia University, where he runs the Mitochondrial Psychobiology Group. Howard LeWine – General internal medicine physician at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Chief Medical Editor at Harvard Health Publishing, and editor in chief of Harvard Men's Health Watch.

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD Educational Pearls: The cause of Alzheimer's disease is multifactorial, but the most widely suspected mechanism is the amyloid cascade hypothesis: Beta-amyloid proteins accumulate in the central nervous system, forming plaques that impair neuronal function. In recent years, advances have led to the development of targeted therapies with monoclonal antibodies. These drugs: Work by degrading amyloid plaques Slow the rate of cognitive decline and disease progression Have major side effects, most notably the development of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) ARIA may present as edema, effusion, or microhemorrhages, which are only detectable on MRI Symptoms can include headache, vertigo, or focal neurologic deficits that mimic stroke For patients presenting to the emergency department with stroke-like symptoms, it is important to consider whether they have a history of Alzheimer's disease and whether they are taking these medications. This guides decisions about imaging and treatment: The work-up may require MRI, which can delay thrombolytic or endovascular therapy in patients with true strokeConversely, treating a patient with ARIA using thrombolytics increases the risk of bleeding and other complications References Ebell MH, Barry HC, Baduni K, Grasso G.

Alzheimer's stole everything from him—his memory, his words, even the ability to recognize the family he loved. For ten long years, his family watched the disease strip him away piece by piece until he passed. His granddaughter was left broken, questioning whether the afterlife even existed—or if her beloved grandfather was still lost, confused, and suffering on the other side. Then, one night, everything changed. In a vivid dream, she awoke to warm sunlight flooding her room. Her bedroom door opened, and her grandfather walked in—healthy, smiling, just as he had been before the disease. He looked at her and said two simple words: “I'm okay.” When she woke, the curtains and door stood open, exactly as they had in the dream. For her, it was undeniable: proof that her grandfather was free, whole again, and at peace. This is a story of loss, love, and the powerful ways our loved ones reach out after death. #AfterlifeProof #VisitationDream #LifeAfterDeath #RealGhostStories #ParanormalEncounter #AlzheimersAndAfterlife #GrandparentVisitation #DreamVisitation #ParanormalActivity #TrueGhostStory Love real ghost stories?

En este nuevo episodio de La teoría de la mente, nos sumergimos en un viaje fascinante al corazón del cerebro adulto: ¡la neurogénesis! Comenzamos en 1962 con el pionero Josef Altman, quien, equipado solo con un microscopio y tinciones especiales, desafió el dogma de Cajal al observar el nacimiento de nuevas neuronas en ratas adultas. Una idea tan revolucionaria que tardó décadas en ser aceptada. Pero gracias a nuevas técnicas en los 90, pudimos confirmar que aquello no era un error, sino una revelación que abre puertas insospechadas sobre cómo aprendemos, recordamos y nos adaptamos. También recorremos el trabajo de Fernando Nottebohm en los canarios, donde el canto primaveral fue la pista de la neurogénesis en machos adultos—demostrando que incluso en aves el cerebro se renueva, ampliando regiones clave para el aprendizaje de nuevas sílabas. Y la pregunta, claro, es: ¿qué implicaciones tiene esto en seres humanos? Contamos con la participación del neurocirujano Osman Salazar, quien nos ofrece su perspectiva acerca de cómo ayudar a nuestro organismo a potenciar este mecanismo natural: reducir el estrés, potenciar neurogénesis en el hipocampo, y mejorar la plasticidad cerebral. Hablamos de cómo trastornos de ansiedad y altos niveles de cortisol limitan la generación de nuevas neuronas, y cómo antidepresivos y neuroesteroides —como la alopregnanolona— podrían favorecer ese proceso. También exploramos aplicaciones futuras en demencias como Alzheimer. ¿Cómo optimizar tu cerebro? Repasamos ingredientes clave: Ejercicio: caminar 30 minutos diarios puede estimular la neurogénesis. Alimentación rica en flavonoides (uvas, té verde, tomates, vino tinto) y omega‑3 (salmón, trucha). Vida sexual placentera y continuada, que parece favorecer la creación de nuevas neuronas. Ambiente enriquecido, libre de estrés y con nuevos retos cognitivos. Actitud abierta, curiosa y activa ante el aprendizaje. Además, comentamos estudios preliminares sobre cannabinoides y cultivo de neuronas en laboratorio, aunque destacan la necesidad de más evidencia antes de considerar aplicaciones reales. Este viaje sobre la neurogénesis no solo nos hace replantear cómo aprende el cerebro, sino también el papel que podemos tener en su regeneración. ¿Qué estamos dispuestos a cambiar para potenciar nuestra mente? Quizá este episodio inspire a cuidar al cerebro con intención. ¿Te apuntas?

I've had the privilege of talking to many brilliant people about artificial intelligence. And when you ask them to imagine the most beneficial consequences of this technology, they almost always give the same answer: medicine. The dream is dazzling. Superintelligent AI will cure stubborn diseases and disorders—cancer, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's. It will diagnose all our illnesses, design new lifesaving drugs, accelerate clinical trials, and pair with wearables to fight chronic illness and extend our health spans. But which of these promises are realistic? Which are outlandish hype? And what, exactly, can AI do for us in medicine right now? To separate fact from fantasy, I talk with Lloyd Minor, dean of the Stanford University School of Medicine.

Since the early 1980s, obesity rates have doubled, and the average American adult has gained about 20 pounds. This rise in obesity has put these groups at increased risk for diabetes, Alzheimer's, several types of cancers, and many more health issues.All of this is burdening the American healthcare system in a way that isn't sustainable. So in this episode of the podcast, I am going to talk about what has caused this rise in obesity from both a societal level and an individual level, and discuss what we can do to help improve things.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 10-02-2025: Dr. Dawn opens by explaining how blood pressure treatment guidelines have been corrected back to 140/90 after the problematic 2015 SPRINT study temporarily changed recommendations to 120/80. That study used ideal measurement conditions - five minutes of quiet sitting, perfect cuff sizes, compliant patients - creating unrealistic targets that caused elderly patients to faint and break hips. The Veterans Administration and major cardiology organizations now recommend treating to 140/90, with statins only for LDL above 190 or 12% ten-year cardiovascular risk. An emailer asks about claims linking Tylenol to autism. Dr. Dawn thoroughly debunks this, explaining that Swedish studies of 2.5 million children found no association when controlling for sibling comparisons. She notes autism rates remained flat from 1960-1990 despite widespread Tylenol use, then spiked after DSM-4 in 1994 and DSM-5 in 2013 broadened diagnostic criteria. Recall bias skews studies since mothers of autistic children are asked leading questions about past Tylenol use during pregnancy when fever treatment was medically necessary. She discusses RFK Jr.'s mixed positions, comparing him to Isaac Newton who excelled at physics but believed in astrology. While criticizing vaccine misinformation, Dr. Dawn strongly supports RFK's stance on ultra-processed foods. She describes NIH researcher Kevin Hall's studies showing people consume 500 extra calories daily on ultra-processed diets versus whole foods, even when nutrients are matched. The US produces 15,000 calories per person daily, with the food industry engineered to promote overconsumption through hyper-palatable fat-sugar-salt combinations. A caller asks about Healthcare 4.0 plans for biometric tracking bracelets and digital twins. Dr. Dawn discusses privacy concerns around constant health monitoring and data collection, noting that while early disease detection could be valuable, mandatory participation raises serious civil liberties issues. She acknowledges voluntary research projects like the Million Man Study but emphasizes the importance of consent and protection against unauthorized data access by advertisers or government agencies. An emailer shares research on ultrasound brain stimulation helmets as alternatives to surgical electrode implants. Dr. Dawn explains how 256-element phased ultrasonic arrays can target brain regions like the visual cortex with high precision mechanical perturbation, potentially treating Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and depression without surgery. The technology remains experimental, requiring MRI guidance, but could become portable and dramatically improve quality of life for neurological conditions currently requiring invasive deep brain stimulation. A caller with adrenal cancer asks about fasting-mimicking diets. Dr. Dawn explains that 14-hour fasting before chemotherapy improves outcomes because healthy cells can downshift metabolism while cancer cells cannot. Cancer cells rely only on glycolysis without mitochondrial function, making them vulnerable during fasting states. She recommends chronotherapy - scheduling treatments during fasting periods - and expresses optimism about new cancer therapies like CAR-T cells and CRISPR technologies. An emailer asks about inulin fiber for fatty liver disease. Dr. Dawn explains how this fiber found in chicory, Jerusalem artichokes, and root vegetables stimulates gut bacteria to break down fructose before it reaches the liver, preventing fructose-induced hepatic lipogenesis. Inulin supplementation protects against fatty liver disease, increases antioxidant production, and helps with obesity by reshaping the gut microbiome to better process dietary sugars.
In this episode, Dr. Peter Gliebus, Chief of Neurology at Marcus Neuroscience Institute, discusses early signs of Alzheimer's, key risk factors, and how new treatments and research are shaping the future of care. He also highlights the importance of caregiver support and a holistic approach to patient well-being.
Mickal Lewis, Associate Director of the Center of Excellence on Dementia Risk Reduction with the Alzheimer's Association, shares how Community Health Workers play an essential role supporting a continuum of care for community members with dementia, and how public health leaders can help advance progress; Jeffrey Ekoma, Senior Director of Government Affairs at ASTHO, provides an update on the current government shutdown and explains how federal health agencies are impacted in this week's View from Washington, D.C. report; a new ASTHO report provides key resources that can help state and territorial health departments break down silos and collaborate with their partners in Medicaid agencies to improve health outcomes in their communities; and Dr. Susan Kansagra, Chief Medical Officer at ASTHO, was recently quoted in a story for STAT Health about low-income children's lack of access to the Covid-19 vaccine. Frontiers in Public Health Research Article: Community health workers: developing roles in public health dementia efforts in the United States ASTHO Legislative Alert: Federal Government Shutdown Update: Contingency Plans Released ASTHO Report: Leveraging Public Health Assets in Medicaid Managed Care STAT Health: Low-income children lack access to Covid vaccines because of approval delay

In this episode, Rev. Oliver Helsabeck talks with Dr. Edward Shaw, a physician, mental health counselor, and dementia care specialist about the challenges of dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and caregiving that impact many families. Dr. Shaw founded the Memory Counseling Program that serves people impacted by dementia and Alzheimer's disease as part of the Sticht Center at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist in Winston-Salem. Dr. Shaw will present a program on dementia and the aging brain on Sunday, October 19 at 5:00 p.m. in Memorial Auditorium. The program, “Anchored in Love: Understanding the Aging Brain and Dementia; Supporting Parents, Family, and Loved Ones as Care Partners,” is open to the public and sponsored by Centenary's Stephen Ministry and Shining Light on Mental Health Ministry.
On a crisp September morning, the Northern Shenandoah Valley came alive with the spirit of service. Nearly a thousand volunteers donned bright orange t-shirts and fanned out across five counties and the city of Winchester for United Way Northern Shenandoah Valley's annual Day of Caring—a day dedicated to giving back, building connections, and strengthening the fabric of the community. Janet Michael, host of “The Valley Today” and board chair for United Way of Northern Shenandoah Valley, served as both guide and storyteller for this special episode, recorded live as she visited project sites bustling with activity. “It is a day when the entire community comes together to serve local nonprofits and residents,” Janet explained, her pride evident as she described the scale of the effort. Painting Hope at Edgehill Recovery Center At the Edgehill Recovery Center, the air was thick with the scent of fresh paint and the hum of teamwork. Janet spoke with Elizabeth, an equity production supervisor at Navy Federal Credit Union, who was rolling paint alongside her team. “It's very competitive to get into,” Elizabeth laughed, describing how quickly volunteer slots filled up. For her, the Day of Caring was not just about giving back, but also about building camaraderie within her team. “It's awesome to be able to build our community while helping our community,” she said. Transforming Evans Home for Children The next stop was Evans Home for Children, where Executive Director Amy Rice marveled at the sea of volunteers tackling landscaping and maintenance projects. “As much as we are a little nonprofit, we have five acres in the middle of Winchester—that can be a lot to maintain and manage,” Amy shared. The Day of Caring, she explained, accomplishes in a single day what would otherwise take her small staff a year or more. “It's a safety and security issue to make sure that we are good with our licensing, that we are safe for the children to be here. The families feel safe placing their children with us. That's really, really important to us.” Amy was quick to credit her program director, LaMishia Allen, for orchestrating the day's logistics and ensuring everything ran smoothly. She also encouraged listeners to reach out year-round, noting that the need for volunteers and donations never ends. A Legacy of Service at Fremont Street Nursery At Fremont Street Nursery, the city's oldest licensed childcare center, Executive Director Freda Roberson beamed as she described the impact of the Day of Caring. “To see the amazing hardworking volunteers come out—it not only helps Fremont, but it also betters our community,” she said. Volunteers from Navy Federal painted playhouses, washed windows, while Tolley Dental facilitated dental exams for 60 children. “Out of the 60 children, only two had a cavity,” Freda reported, highlighting the tangible benefits of the day's work. Revitalizing Old Town Winchester The Day of Caring wasn't limited to traditional nonprofits. In Old Town Winchester, volunteers from Valley Health and the Friends of Old Town took a “tourist perspective” to identify ways to improve the downtown experience. “We got to hear some of the ideas that were on the table and give feedback from our perspective, which I think was a great project,” said Jason Craig, Director of Community Health for Valley Health. The group discussed everything from murals and pedestrian safety to access to fresh food and physical activity, underscoring the broad reach of community health. Personal Connections and Lasting Impact Throughout the day, Janet met volunteers like John and Billy from Warfel Construction, who helped residents at Winchester House with cleaning tasks. “It was great to catch up with them and learn their story too,” John reflected, noting the personal connections forged through service. At the Our Health campus, a team from Edward Jones wrote thank-you notes and made calls for the Alzheimer's Association, brightening the days of volunteers and participants. “We're actually hearing stories of families that have been impacted by Alzheimer's,” said Shalini Mickos, emphasizing the emotional resonance of their work. Jodi Young, Executive Director of Healthy Families Northern Shenandoah Valley, showed off baskets filled with diapers and baby supplies—assembled in just two hours by a small team of volunteers. “If it was just us collecting, we'd be taking time away from the families,” she explained, grateful for the extra hands. A Call to Action As the episode drew to a close, Janet reminded listeners that the Day of Caring is not just a one-day event, but a call to ongoing engagement. “We all have something to give. For some it's money. For others, it's time and skills, and for all of us, it's being willing to listen to the struggles that someone is having, be a little more understanding, and be a little more open-minded,” she said. The Day of Caring stands as a testament to what can be achieved when a community unites in service. Whether painting walls, planting flowers, or simply offering a kind word, every act of caring helps build a stronger, safer, and more compassionate place to call home. For more information on how to get involved, visit United Way NSV's website or reach out to local nonprofits—because, as Janet put it, “United is the way to spark change.”

⚠️ WARNING: This episode will challenge everything you think you know about health. “Obesity kills more people worldwide every year than car crashes, terrorism, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and malnutrition combined.” In this eye-opening episode of Start Today, I bring you Dr. Saman Soleymani—a no-BS physician and entrepreneur running over a dozen practices—who exposes how Big Pharma and Big Food profit from disease while ignoring the #1 factor that could save your life: nutrition. From the obesity epidemic to GLP-1 drugs, testosterone, antidepressants, and birth control, Dr. Soleymani rips the lid off the lies that are killing people every single day. We uncover why waist size is the ultimate death predictor, how visceral fat destroys men's hormones, why SSRIs don't cure depression, the promising science of psilocybin, and the dangerous side effects of hormonal birth control that no one talks about. No fluff. No sugarcoating. Just the truth you need if you want to take back control of your body, your health, and your future.
For decades, neuroscience has promised breakthroughs in treating conditions like depression, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's. Yet despite powerful technologies and billions invested, progress has been frustratingly slow. Why?On this episode of Big Brains, we talk with Nicole Rust, neuroscientist at the University of Pennsylvania and author of Elusive Cures. Rust argues that the traditional “domino” view of the brain—where one broken piece can simply be fixed—has held us back. Instead, she says we need to embrace the brain's true nature: a complex, dynamic system more like the weather than a machine.We explore why treatments so often fail, what makes mood such a scientific mystery, and whether a new era of brain research—powered by models, feedback loops, and fresh ways of thinking—can finally deliver the cures that have long eluded us.

Molecular-medicine expert Dr. Nathan Bryan explains how nitric oxide (NO) protects the endothelium, drives vasodilation, and influences energy, immunity, hormones, and longevity. He links stubborn hypertension and poor exercise tolerance to the microbiome–NO axis and outlines common NO killers—antiseptic mouthwashes and fluoride overuse, chronic PPIs, ultra-processed diets, and inactivity. We cover practical restores (movement, nutrient-dense food, targeted micronutrients, careful PPI weaning, ditching antiseptic rinses) and preview clinical work on NO-releasing lozenges for ischemic heart disease, approaches to improve cerebral blood flow and insulin signaling in cognitive decline, and topical NO for chronic wounds. Bryan also touches on food quality (glyphosate, soil health), hormone synergy with NO, and NO-based skincare that supports perfusion and collagen. Bottom line: rebuild NO, and the body's own repair systems can finally do their job.(Educational only; not personal medical advice.)Guest BioNathan S. Bryan, PhD is a molecular medicine researcher and leading authority on nitric oxide (NO) biochemistry. Over two decades, he has mapped how the body generates and uses NO—and what happens when it doesn't—publishing widely, authoring multiple books, and translating discoveries into products and late-stage drug trials. His work spans cardiovascular health, metabolism, neurocognition, wound healing, and skin biology, with a focus on restoring NO as a foundation for repair. Dr. Bryan speaks globally on NO and leads development of NO-based therapeutics targeting ischemic heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, and non-healing ulcers. GET SOCIAL WITH US!

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for October 1, 2025. 0:30 In a massive Illinois ICE operation called Operation Midway Blitz, over 800 illegal alien criminals were arrested in one coordinated sweep.These weren’t first-time visa overstays. We’re talking about gang members, drug traffickers, sexual predators, and violent offenders—people no community should be forced to live next to. Yet, thanks to Illinois’ sanctuary policies, these criminals were shielded from removal until federal agents stepped in. We break down the operation and why the stakes are so high for Americans and our safety. 9:44 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Democrats voted to shut down the Federal Government last night, repeatedly voting against passing a continuing resolution to keep the government funded through November 7th. The Trump administration is suing LA County in California for violating the 2nd Amendment. The US Citizenship and Immigration Services department announced the results of Operation Twin Shield. 12:30 Get Brain Reward from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We unpack the new American Pope's criticism of President Donald Trump where he suggested that enforcing immigration laws is somehow at odds with being pro-life. We also dive into the controversy surrounding the Archdiocese of Chicago honoring Senator Dick Durbin, a Catholic politician who openly supports abortion, with a “lifetime achievement award.” 16:30 We ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson about parents who put their kids in travel sports. Are they just living vicariously through their kids? Our American Mamas say there’s a lot more to the story. From the sacrifices families make, to the friendships built on the road, to the competitive edge required just to make a Texas high school team, travel sports can be a pathway to scholarships, memories, and life lessons. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 In Memphis, President Trump has deployed the National Guard alongside federal agents—working with Tennessee’s Republican Governor Bill Lee—to crack down on violent crime. Within just 48 hours, the operation led to 53 arrests and 20 illegal guns seized. But instead of welcoming the results, Democrats remain silent—or outright protest. Why? We break down why the left won’t credit Trump’s actions, the political games behind crime and safety, and how real families in Memphis are the ones who stand to benefit. 26:45 New voter registration data from Decision Desk HQ reveals a stunning shift: since Election Day last year, over 2.1 million names have been purged from U.S. voter rolls. We Dig Deep into what the numbers really mean, why voter roll maintenance matters, and how the push for automatic registration could be fueling fraudulent enrollments. We also examine why Democrats resist voter ID laws, the risks to election integrity, and how trust in the system erodes when the numbers don’t add up. 32:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 The Biden-era green agenda just took a major hit — and it’s Democrats’ own fault. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has announced the cancellation of $8 billion in green energy funding, wiping out a huge chunk of what critics call “slush funds for climate activists.” Democrats refused to pass a continuing resolution, betting that a government shutdown would hurt Republicans and President Trump politically. Instead, OMB Director Russ Vought wielded the budget axe — and the cuts landed squarely on the Green New Deal. 36:35 Plus, having a sense of purpose may protect your brain health, and that's a Bright Spot. In new study in the Journal of Geriatric Psychology, researchers found that people who felt their lives had meaning were less likely to develop dementia or Alzheimer’s even if they carried the APOE4 gene, a major risk factor. 40:30 Massive immigration raids are underway in Chicago, and former ICE Director Tom Homan says the strategy is simple: target the cities that resist federal immigration enforcement the most. From Los Angeles to Chicago, so-called “sanctuary cities” have become magnets for illegal immigration, gangs, and crime—and Tom Homan is saying "Whoa!" 42:30 And we finish off with a school community who came together to support their school's security guard.

Note: This encore episode is dedicated to the memory of Alice Potts, who died on August 20, 2025, aged 81. “In America aging is often seen as an insult rather than an inevitable human process. We don’t celebrate getting older; we ‘fight’ age by pretending to be young.” –Rolf Potts In this episode of Deviate Rolf and his parents, Alice and George Potts, talk about how surviving the COVID-19 pandemic has changed their relationship, and how it gave them a pretext to go through a “death checklist” together (3:00); how one’s grandparents and parents live on in one’s memories and one’s conversations, the life-values they passed on, and what it felt like when those loved ones declined and died (14:00); how, over the years, elderly people and philosophers have come to terms with notions of decline and death (31:00); and personal insights about what it’s like to have grown older after having lived a long life (44:00). George and Alice Potts are retired schoolteachers based in Kansas. George taught science at various Wichita high schools, as well as at Friends University, where he pioneered graduate-level programs in Zoo Science and Environmental Studies. He also helped facilitate the Outdoor Wildlife Learning Sites (OWLS) program for the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks. Alice taught second graders in the Wichita public schools for more than 30 years. In 1994 her classes succeed in promoting legislation to declare the barred tiger salamander the Kansas State Amphibian.
