Podcasts about alzheimer's disease

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?

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.

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.

A study published in Nature Communications, published Feb 19, 2026, found that “pregnancy physically alters a woman's brain, with a second pregnancy bringing even more profound effects.” The researchers “performed brain scans on 110 women. Some were first-time mothers, others second-time moms, and some nulliparous women. Results showed that during a first pregnancy, the greatest changes occur in the structure and activity of the ‘default mode network' – the brain system responsible for self-reflection and mind wandering. Are these changes bad? Are they associated with long term hard? Are they adaptive? It's a complex question, with real answers. Listen in for details.1.

Robert Horry and the crew kick off Shoot Around episode 124 with jokes and impressions before jumping into a pop quiz: the only NBA player to win a scoring title, rebounding title, blocks title, Rookie of the Year, MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, an NBA championship, and an Olympic gold medal—revealed to be David Robinson. The conversation shifts to Spurs talk, with Horry pushing back on claims that he hates San Antonio, explaining his take on why he doesn’t have Wemby as his MVP and naming his MVP as “Brown,” while still praising the Spurs, Pop, and the 2005 championship team.   They discuss the Chicago Bears potentially moving about 25 miles south to Hammond, Indiana, while likely keeping the “Chicago Bears” name, comparing it to New York teams playing in New Jersey and noting Indiana’s willingness to fund a new stadium. The group also talks about which franchises should never move, highlighting the St. Louis Cardinals and San Diego Padres, and briefly noting the Braves’ move within the Atlanta area. In NBA rules talk, they react to Paul Pierce’s idea of an LED three-point line that turns on and off during games, calling it too gimmicky and better suited to celebrity or All-Star-style events.   The episode also covers UFL rule changes, including a four-point field goal for kicks over 60 yards and banning punts once a team crosses midfield, with the hosts debating whether the NFL might adopt similar ideas and joking about how it would affect Super Bowl squares. Off the court, they break down MLB Players Association executive director Tony Clark resigning after an internal investigation revealed an improper relationship with his sister-in-law, and they react to Mad Dog Russo’s defense while debating how personal life should intersect with employment consequences. They wrap with viral oddities and childhood stories: a 92-year-old woman with Alzheimer’s climbing a seven-foot nursing home gate in 24 seconds, a 12-year-old in North Carolina driving himself to school with a fictitious plate after missing the bus, and the hosts sharing the dumbest things they did as kids—stealing church money for cookies, kicking a hole through a bedroom door, and a messy food fight that led to “double dip” punishments.   00:00 Friday Cold Open 01:25 Wild Twitter Grab Bag 01:40 NBA Trivia Stumper 03:22 Spurs Fans Clapback 05:38 Bears Moving to Indiana 07:17 Teams That Shouldn’t Move 08:43 LED Three Point Line 10:01 UFL Rule Experiments 12:14 Tony Clark Scandal 15:21 92 Year Old Gate Escape 17:11 Kid Drives To School 19:11 Cookie Money Confession 20:42 Foot Through The Door 22:29 Epic Food Fight Fallout 23:46 Double Dip Whoopings

Can the aging brain still make new neurons?   A landmark 2026 Nature study analyzed 355,997 human hippocampal nuclei using single-nucleus RNA sequencing and ATAC sequencing. Neurogenesis persists into adulthood—but chromatin accessibility collapses early in Alzheimer's disease.   SuperAgers showed a 2.5-fold increase in immature neurons and a preserved resilience signature.   Epigenetics may be the earliest battlefield in cognitive decline.

In this episode, recorded live at AHR Expo 2026, Bryan sits down with Louise from UEi (United Electronics Inc.) for an in-depth conversation about one of the most underestimated dangers in the HVAC trade: carbon monoxide. Rather than treating CO as just another checkmark on a safety list, Bryan and Louise dive into the full history of the gas — all the way back to early publications from 1922 and 1923 that were already studying the effects of low-level CO exposure. One of the most fascinating takeaways from their discussion is just how long the industry has known about the dangers of carbon monoxide, yet how frequently it remains misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and overlooked on the job site. Louise breaks down the science behind CO poisoning in a way that is both accessible and eye-opening. Unlike high-level acute poisoning — where symptoms are immediately obvious — low-level, chronic carbon monoxide exposure is an entirely different beast. It can mimic the flu, chronic headaches, early-onset Alzheimer's, and even heart attack symptoms. Because CO is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, it is notoriously difficult to diagnose, and victims often have no idea what is causing their illness. Compounding the problem is the cumulative nature of CO toxicity: the gas builds up in the bloodstream over time and can linger in the body for days, months, or even years after exposure ends. Bryan draws an entertaining but sobering historical connection between the prevalence of carbon monoxide poisoning during the Victorian era — when gas lamps were common inside homes — and the widespread reports of ghost sightings, fugue states, fainting spells, and the spiritualist movement of the time. It was almost certainly CO poisoning, not the paranormal. The conversation then shifts to practical, on-the-job guidance for technicians and contractors. Bryan and Louise walk through the proper process for combustion analysis: starting your analyzer outside in fresh air, identifying test ports on furnaces, boilers, and water heaters, and understanding what readings at steady state actually mean. They emphasize that CO production is not limited to furnaces alone — ranges, ovens, dryers, fireplaces, water heaters, and even propane-powered forklifts are all legitimate sources. One of the most critical points they make is that carbon monoxide hazards are often intermittent and condition-dependent. A system can appear to be working perfectly during one visit and be producing dangerous levels the next time a door is closed or a vent is accidentally blocked. Visual inspection, awareness of combustion air sourcing, and thoughtful analysis are just as important as having the right instruments. On the product side, Louise introduces two exciting new offerings from UEI. The first is the UEI Clip, a compact personal CO detector that clips onto a bag, belt, or lanyard, activates automatically at 20 ppm, and is designed as a set-it-and-forget-it safety device with a two-year sealed battery lifespan. Priced under $100, it is an affordable way to outfit an entire team with a baseline layer of personal protection. The second highlight is the new High Accuracy Clamp Meter (HAC), a commemorative product celebrating the United States' 250th anniversary. This meter excels at wattage measurement — particularly with low-draw ECM blower motors where most meters fall short — and Bluetooth integration with MeasureQuick is on the horizon. Louise also walks through UEI's revamped combustion analyzer recertification program, UEI Service Plus, which offers same-day turnaround on standard recertifications at their Indianapolis facility, extended warranties with each annual service, and transparent, upfront pricing directly on their website. Topics Covered The history of carbon monoxide research dating back to publications from 1922 and 1923, and a 1923 patent for a hot water heater that sparked a friendly debate between Bryan and Louise about terminology. How low-level, chronic CO exposure is underdiagnosed and can mimic conditions like the flu, chronic headaches, early-onset Alzheimer's, and heart attack symptoms — and why CO builds up cumulatively in the bloodstream. The fascinating historical theory connecting widespread Victorian-era reports of ghosts, fugue states, and fainting spells to chronic carbon monoxide poisoning from indoor gas lamps. CO safety thresholds: residential standard (9 ppm), World Health Organization guideline (4 ppm), first responder evacuation threshold (35 ppm), and how UL-rated home alarms may not trigger until 70 ppm sustained for 1–4 hours. Sources of CO that technicians often overlook, including ovens, ranges, dryers, fireplaces, water heaters, propane forklifts, generators, and vehicles idling near garages. Proper combustion analysis procedure: starting the analyzer outside in ambient air, identifying or installing test ports, running tests at steady state, and interpreting O2, CO, and stack temperature readings. Industry CO standards for furnaces: official standard (400 ppm), HRI recommendation (200 ppm), industry best practice (100 ppm), and modern high-efficiency benchmarks (50 ppm or less). How combustion air sourcing — and changes to it (new roofs, blocked vents, swapped doors) — is one of the most commonly missed risk factors for CO production. Why even "heat pump markets" like Florida still need combustion analysis, since over 90% of homes have at least one fuel-fired appliance. Introduction of the UEi Clip personal CO detector: set-and-forget, activates at 20 ppm, sealed 2-year battery, priced under $100, and its unexpected popularity among refrigeration technicians. Introduction of the UEi High Accuracy Clamp Meter (HAC) commemorative edition: exceptional accuracy at low current draws (ideal for ECM blower motors), full accessory kit included, and upcoming measureQuick Bluetooth integration. UEi's Service+ combustion analyzer recertification program: same-day turnaround at their Indianapolis lab, extended warranty with each annual service, prepaid UPS shipping labels, and transparent pricing on their website.

Send a textCaregiving can feel like carrying a secret storm—so many decisions, so much love, and a kind of grief that doesn't wait for goodbye. We open up about the real weight caregivers hold and how faith, practical wisdom, and honest reflection can turn that weight into steadier steps. Rayna shares her journey through years of caring for a mom and dad with Alzheimer's, naming the hidden losses, the relentless pressure to get it right, and the slow, surprising growth that follows when we surrender what we were never meant to carry.Across this conversation, we name layered grief—the missed moments, shifting roles, and the parts of yourself that go quiet when life gets hard. We also unpack pressure: family expectations, cultural shoulds, medical complexity, and the inner critic that never sleeps. You'll hear how to distinguish conviction from condemnation so you can be responsible without living as if you must control every outcome. Scripture anchors the path, reminding us that Jesus wept, that grace meets weakness, and that the Lord is close to the brokenhearted.We then turn to growth without platitudes. Growth doesn't cancel pain, but it does shape patience, endurance, compassion, and a deeper dependence on God. You'll learn how to honor parents without losing yourself, why boundaries are part of true honor, and how love can be both tender and wise. Rayna offers five practical steps you can use today—naming losses, releasing borrowed pressure, asking for specific help, building a small rhythm of rest, and redefining success around presence and the next right step. We close with reflective questions to help you process what hurts and notice where hope is already at work.If this conversation helps you breathe a little easier, share it with another caregiver who needs encouragement. Subscribe for new episodes and leave a review so more caregivers can find these stories of hope. Your next right step might start here.

An estimated 500,000 people are diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in the United States each year, but the causes and mechanisms of the condition remain a neurological mystery. A recent study looked at the role of variants in a gene called APOE in Alzheimer's, and found that while it's not a simple determinant of developing the disease, that one gene seems to play a significant role in promoting disease risk. Researchers hope work like this could point to new areas to study and even potential treatments. Epidemiologist Dylan Williams joins Host Ira Flatow to explain the findings and discuss the challenges in tracing a complex disease to its roots.

Ginny Yurich sits down with neurologist and neuroscientist Dr. Majid Fotuhi to flip the script on what most of us assume about memory: it isn't something you either “have” or “lose”—it's a skill you can build. Drawing from decades of work with brain health, ADHD, concussion recovery, and cognitive decline, Dr. Fotuhi explains why everyday forgetfulness is often normal (and not an automatic sign of Alzheimer's), then gives a clear, doable framework for getting sharper at any age through his five pillars of brain health—exercise, sleep, nutrition, stress reduction, and brain training. You'll hear why movement supercharges the brain, why racquet sports and “thinking + motion” activities are especially powerful for kids and adults, how to make names and information stick by adding emotion and play, what's actually happening during menopause brain fog, and why optimism and purpose aren't just nice ideas—they're linked to real changes in the brain.

If you've ever cared for someone with Alzheimer's—or loved someone who has—you know the quiet heartbreak of watching a person you cherish slowly fade, even while they are still physically present. It's a journey marked by grief, exhaustion, and a longing for strength that often feels just out of reach.   In today's episode, storyteller Jennifer Roberts from our West Cobb community outside of Atlanta, Georgia, shares her experience of walking alongside her father-in-law as her mother-in-law battled Alzheimer's. With honesty and tenderness, Jennifer reflects on the weight of caregiving, the sorrow woven into the disease, and the unexpected ways God met her family in the middle of it all. Her story is a powerful reminder that when God calls us into a difficult season, He also equips us with perseverance, sustains us with His presence, and leads us forward with hope, joy, and strength.   If you are a caregiver—or know someone who is—this is a story you won't want to miss, and one you'll want to share.   VERSE OF THE WEEK: "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." James 1:2-4   CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: If you know someone who is caretaking for a loved one, reach out to them this week by sending an encouraging message, making a call to check in on them, or offering to be of some assistance. ________________________________________________ Listen to Jennifer Roberts' sisters' story from season 8-  Ep. 300- Laurel Henson:  "The Providence of God: A Story of Love After Loss."

Episode 3306: Dr. Jenny Brockis explores the powerful brain-boosting potential of turmeric, highlighting how curcumin, the active compound in the spice, may help reduce inflammation, clear harmful amyloid plaques, and support cognitive health. Backed by compelling studies from UCLA and the University of Michigan, she reveals how a simple dietary habit like eating curry could play a role in protecting against Alzheimer's and age-related memory decline.

"Vitamin D also strongly stimulated the uptake and absorption of amyloid beta by the macrophages in the majority of patients." "Curcumin can cross the blood brain barrier and binds to amyloid protein fragments, which can then no longer clump together to form plaques."

Episode 26-8 Do You Need A Healing? Start Here… Millions of Americans are currently dealing with some kind of chronic condition. Conditions such as arthritis, heart disease, cancer, Type 2 Diabetes, Hashimoto's, IBS, Alzheimer's, headaches, eczema, erectile dysfunction, fibromyalgia, etc. Fortunately, these conditions can usually be improved through natural measures. The question is HOW? HOW does one get their body to heal itself naturally? While there are many different strategies to consider… strategies that differ based upon the involved condition… there is ONE thing that each strategy has in common.  One thing that will help set you on the right path with regard to YOUR healing journey: Your starting point. It's true. No matter what health issue you're seeking to heal from… there is ONE place for you to start and it's here: With a blood test. On this episode I go into great depth regarding the specific blood tests I recommend for anyone seeking to heal their body from a chronic disease.  Specifically, I talk about how the root CAUSE of most chronic conditions correlates with something that is "off" in one or more of these blood tests. Or, stated in a slightly different way: The root CAUSE of most chronic conditions is something that will show up in one or more of these blood tests. This is incredibly valuable because once you identify what is "off" in your blood work you can then implement strategies to correct it. This, in turn, will place your body in an environment that's conducive to healing. Give this episode a good listen if you're serious about having your body heal itself naturally. And, as always, be sure to share it with a friend. Thanks! ———————- Want to learn more? Continue the conversation regarding this episode, and all future episodes, by signing up for our daily emails.

In this episode of The Golden Gang, host Ryan sits down with Colleen Gill, Walk Manager for the Alzheimer's Association in South Jersey. Colleen shares what truly drives the Walk to End Alzheimer's — a grassroots community effort that raises over $100 million annually and funds everything from research to a 24-hour helpline for families.She also tells the moving story of Billy, a walk participant whose early diagnosis and enrollment in a clinical trial has him thriving years later — living proof that the work is making a difference. If your family has been touched by Alzheimer's, this one's for you.

If you're carrying quiet fear because Alzheimer's has touched your family — or you're struggling with brain fog and worried about your brain health — this episode is for you.In this episode, Amy breaks down the 5 biggest mistakes women make with Alzheimer's prevention and brain health, plus one bonus mistake that ties them all together. These aren't obscure errors. They're rooted in outdated beliefs — the same ones most of our parents held — that research has now proven wrong.You'll learn:Why waiting for symptoms is the most expensive strategy there is — and why the menopause transition is your most critical window for preventionHow your genes inform your risk but don't determine your outcome — and the 8-factor RESTORED Protocol that puts the levers back in your handsWhy supplements can't do the job of a strong lifestyle foundationHow chronic stress damages the hippocampus — and what a sustainable recovery plan looks like during menopauseWhat the glymphatic system is and why disrupted sleep is one of the most under-recognized risks for cognitive declineWhy the knowing-doing gap — not lack of information — is the real reason most women aren't protecting their brains (with exercise as the perfect example)Take the ‘Is It Just Brain Fog?'

The surgeon who spent 12 to14 hours a day in the operating room developed diabetes, uncontrolled high blood pressure, and an autoimmune disease that was eating away at his skull and it forced him to confront what medical school never taught him about actually staying healthy. I sat down with Dr. Darshan Shah, board-certified surgeon, founder of Next Health (one of the largest longevity clinic networks in America), and a doctor who had to reverse his own chronic disease to understand the massive gap between Western medicine and the science of health. We explore why surgeons and physicians become some of the sickest people in healthcare, how functional medicine differs from what you learn in medical school, why biomarker testing matters more than your doctor's "you're fine" assessment, and what root cause medicine actually looks like in practice. Dr. Shah also breaks down the AI revolution happening in cardiovascular imaging with Cleerly scans, how his new AI health dashboard reads your bloodwork and medical records to give you proactive guidance, why Yamanaka factors could regenerate damaged nerves in the brain, and what the future of personalized, preventive medicine looks like when you combine AI with real biological data.

Conversations about brain health have been dominated by a competing mix of fatalism and over-promising, with aging framed as inevitable decline and "brain optimisation" sold through weak evidence. So how should we think about cognition across the lifespan? In this episode, we explore the idea that neuroplasticity does not disappear in adulthood, but instead continues to respond, for better or worse, to repeated behaviours and exposures. Much of what is labelled age-related cognitive decline may in fact reflect an accumulation of modifiable risk factors. We also dig into how to critically evaluate brain-health claims and how lifestyle pillars such as exercise, sleep, diet, stress reduction and cognitive training fit into a coherent framework. The discussion extends to emerging multimodal intervention programs, their promising signals and their clear limitations, and to a broader, multifactorial view of Alzheimer's disease that moves beyond a narrow amyloid-centric model. Finally, we examine the role of genetics, including ApoE4, and why genetic risk does not equate to biological destiny, even later in life. Dr. Majid Fotuhi is a neurologist and an adjunct professor at the Johns Hopkins Mind/Brain Institute. He earned his medical degree from Harvard Medical School and completed a Ph.D. in neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University. That was followed by internship and neurology residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Tommy Wood about how to protect and strengthen brain health across the lifespan—how overstimulation, chronic stress, and not giving your brain time to rest and recover undermines focus and productivity, and why restructuring your workday, prioritizing sleep, and building in real cognitive breaks can help you think more clearly and perform better. We discuss how the balance of stimulus, supply, and support shifts as we age, why retirement and prolonged illness can accelerate cognitive decline without ongoing challenge, and how physical activity, deep work, and continued learning help maintain function and even build “crystallized intelligence”—wisdom—later in life. We also get into genetic risk and why it’s largely a probability game where lifestyle can stack the deck in your favor; the powerful role of social connection and helping others in reducing dementia risk; how to use digital tools for real connection instead of passive consumption; and the cognitive effects of substances like nicotine, alcohol, cannabis, and stimulants. Dr. Tommy shares practical strategies—from structuring your day around focused work and restorative breaks to picking hobbies that challenge your brain—as well as simple ways to maintain cognitive function, extend the time you stay sharp, and lower the likelihood of decline over your life. TIMESTAMPS: Tommy Wood's new book explains the environmental impact on your brain health. [01:07] In adults over 40, dementia is the number one health concern. [07:21] Why haven't we done a better job of understanding the brain's neurological disease? [13:28] Studies have shown that an older adult learning a new language or musical instrument, experiences significant changes in the structure of the brain. [20:45] Failure is the primary driver of neuroplasticity. [21:35] If you do one of two activities such as attending lectures, writing, classes, volunteering, sports and such, you are best protected from dementia. [ 26:00] What are the three S's that are the key to long-term brain health and disease prevention? [29:08] Metabolic disease like high blood pressure is a significant risk factor for dementia. [35:13] People who are stressed usually don't give their brain time to recover. [36:03] Some people do have genetic influence and possibly have a higher risk that they can learn to work with. [38:33] It's estimated that 45 to 70 ish percent of dementias are preventable. [39:53] We can eliminate this accelerated decline that we are seeing around us by hitting the checkpoints like move, nourish, stimulate, connect and adapt. [47:06] The social connection is terribly important. [47:43] The areas of the brain that are most susceptible to decreases in function as we age, are the areas of the brain that are negatively impacted by being socially isolated. [51:27] What is the impact of the digital world that surrounds us? What about smoking and alcohol? [52:26] Marijuana use definitely has an effect on brain.

In this solo episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely delivers an urgent and empowering message about brain health that every woman needs to hear. She breaks down a brand-new research review examining how menopause specifically impacts the female brain, revealing why postmenopausal women account for more than 60 percent of those living with Alzheimer's disease. Rather than leaving listeners with frightening statistics, Dr. Lovely transforms this information into actionable knowledge, explaining exactly how declining estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone along with inadequate nutrition, stress and aging create a perfect storm for neurodegeneration through increased inflammation, and breakdown of the protective blood-brain barrier. What makes this episode particularly valuable is Dr. Lovely's practical guidance on modifiable risk factors that women can address starting today. She explores the critical connection between the gut microbiome and brain defense systems, offering specific nutritional strategies that support cognitive health during the menopausal transition. Listeners will learn why good protein intake becomes non-negotiable at midlife, which foods deliver the omega-3s, antioxidants, and flavonoids brains desperately need, and how to identify ultra-processed and nutrient-void foods that may be undermining our efforts. Dr. Lovely also addresses timely concerns about popular weight loss medications, explaining why adequate nutrition must remain the priority even when appetite is suppressed. The episode concludes with fascinating news from the research front: hormone replacement therapy has now been shown to reverse many of the inflammatory changes that occur with hormone decline, stabilizing the blood-brain barrier and offering genuine neuroprotective benefits. For any woman who has ever wondered whether her brain health is within her control, this episode provides helpful answers and practical tools to make a meaningful difference.  For easy reference, Dr. Lovely has compiled the products mentioned in this episode right here: Jaspr - air filtration Ultrahuman - sleep and recovery biometrics ring Chilipad - temp controlled mattress pad Apollo neuro - vagus nerve modulating tool AG1 - complete vitamins and mineral supplement Just Thrive - the best probiotic   Thank you to our sponsors for this episode: ❤️Berkeley Life is a health brand that helps women feel vibrant by addressing the crucial role nitric oxide and circulation play in daily wellness, especially around menopause.

Dr. Tony Wyss-Coray, PhD, is a professor of neurology at Stanford School of Medicine who is discovering factors present in young blood and in exercised blood that can improve brain, heart and other organ health. We discuss how different organs age at different rates and how to accurately measure biological aging. We also discuss the specific proteins found in blood when we are young and that are increased by things such as exercise, sunlight exposure, short-term fasting, specific foods and social connection that can significantly increase vitality, restore youthful functioning of the brain and body and potentially increase lifespan.
