And of course, Ayesha dishes on stepping into her biggest role yet… becoming the newest Titan on Bobby's Triple Threat.

From anxiety and PTSD to dementia, menopause, psychedelics, gut-brain connection, and even the oral microbiome, you'll learn why your daily choices matter more than you think.In this conversation, I'm joined by world-leading voices, including:Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett – neuroscientist redefining how emotions shape the brainDr. William Li – physician-scientist on food as medicine and brain regenerationDan Buettner – founder of the Blue Zones uncovering the world's longest-lived communitiesDr. Sarah McKay – neuroscientist bringing clarity to women's brain healthDr. Chris Palmer – psychiatrist linking nutrition, metabolism, and mental healthDr. Rick Doblin – pioneer in psychedelic research for trauma and healingDr. Katie Lee – oral microbiome researcher revealing surprising links to dementiaDrs.

Diabetes and Brain Health “When most people think of diabetes, they think about insulin or blood sugar before they think about memory or mood. But in our work as neurologists, we've seen again and again how closely diabetes is tied to brain health.” Listen to today's episode written by Drs Ayesah & Dean Sherzaiat @thebraindocs. #vegan #plantbased #plantbasedbriefing #braindocs #diabetes #prediabetes #brainhealth #cognition ===================== Original post: https://thebraindocs.activehosted.com/index.php?action=social&chash=fccb60fb512d13df5083790d64c4d5dd.415&s=9570441384b3ce85586d40d4443396d7 ===================== Ayesha and Dean Sherzai are co-directors of the Alzheimer's Prevention Program at Loma Linda University. They're both practicing neurologists, scientists, authors, parents, and a husband and wife duo that know the value of healthy lifestyle choices and they've seen the impact that their NEURO Plan framework has in making the sick healthy and in taking healthy to the next level. They met as young physicians and in their first conversation learned that both of their grandparents had spent their remaining days on this Earth suffering from dementia. They vowed to do whatever they could to help others avoid this fate and build healthy minds and bodies. They conduct research, treat patients, and serve as professors at Georgetown University, Columbia University, the National Institutes of Health, Mount Sinai, and Loma Linda University, where they serve as the co-directors of The Alzheimer's Prevention Program. They've worked with devastatingly disease-ridden populations and some of the healthiest people in the world – the Loma Linda 7th Day Adventist population (a Blue Zone community, defined by living measurably longer and healthier lives due to optimal nutrition, exercise, stress management, and social support.) ============================= FOLLOW THE SHOW ON: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@plantbasedbriefing Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2GONW0q2EDJMzqhuwuxdCF?si=2a20c247461d4ad7 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/plant-based-briefing/id1562925866 Your podcast app of choice: https://pod.link/1562925866 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PlantBasedBriefing LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/plant-based-briefing/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/plantbasedbriefing/

Hoje eu recebo duas mulheres com histórias de vida tão distintas quanto impressionantes. As duas tiveram contato com os esportes na infância, mas nada que as envolvesse muito além das aulas de educação física, natação ou ginástica artística. Até que, um dia, os pais de uma delas lhe fizeram um convite inusitado: caminhar com eles até o acampamento base do Everest. Com 15 anos, sem ter muita noção da aventura, ela aceitou. Durante a caminhada, conheceu uma escaladora e se encantou com suas histórias. Ali nasceu o desejo de se aprofundar no montanhismo e um dia alcançar o cume da maior montanha do mundo. Seus pais embarcaram na ideia e, juntos, deram início ao projeto de escalar os sete cumes mais altos de cada continente. Um ano depois, ela se tornaria a brasileira mais jovem a subir o Kilimanjaro e, nos anos seguintes, ao lado do pai, encarou outras quatro montanhas até chegar ao topo do Everest, em 2018, como a brasileira mais jovem a conquistar esse feito. Nesse caminho, também descobriu outra paixão: a dança, que se tornaria uma parte fundamental da sua vida. Minha outra convidada buscou as trilhas como uma forma de aliviar o estresse e a ansiedade que vieram com a sua ascensão profissional. Sentiu os benefícios e, pouco a pouco, foi se aventurando mais, até participar também da caminhada até o acampamento base do Everest. A experiência foi transformadora e despertou nela a vontade de ir além. Em um curso de escalada em rocha, conheceu um montanhista experiente que, anos depois, se tornaria seu marido. Juntos, criaram um ousado desafio: escalar o Everest e o Lhotse em menos de 24 horas. Dois anos de preparação culminaram na realização do projeto e em dois recordes — tornaram-se o primeiro casal a conquistar esse feito e ela, a primeira mulher sul-americana. Nenhuma das duas veio de uma família de montanhistas ou de um ambiente onde o alpinismo fosse algo comum. Romperam barreiras como o medo, o preconceito e abriram espaço num cenário historicamente masculino. São exemplos claros de como paixão, foco e uma visão ampliada de mundo podem transformar vidas. Este ano, elas se uniram em um projeto inédito. Junto com as montanhistas Daniela Furusawa e Vanessa de Oliveira, farão o trekking e a escalada do Himlung Himal, no Nepal, com 7.126 metros de altitude. O diferencial: toda a equipe será formada por mulheres - guias, carregadoras e equipe de cozinha. Comigo aqui a artista do movimento, fotógrafa, montanhista, graduada em Dança pela Unicamp, que equilibra projetos artísticos e pesquisas com a coordenação de festivais e workshops internacionais, a joseense Ayesha Melo Zangaro; e a engenheira eletricista, com especialização em Gestão e Estratégia de Empresas pela Unicamp, MBA em Finanças Corporativas e Finanças Pessoais, montanhista e planejadora financeira, a guaxupeana Olívia Bonfim Melo.

The Insight: Turkey strengthens West Africa ties with Senegal visit | Ayesha Kajee AFRASID by Radio Islam
I think what many of us are experiencing right now, re: Jacinda, Grant, Chippy and Ayesha not fronting publicly for the COVID inquiry is not disappointment, because disappointment requires us to have had a higher expectation of them. And I don't think that we did, because I think we got the measure of these people a long time ago. I think what we're experiencing right now is a sense of injustice, because these people had the power, and they used that power to do things to our lives that no other politicians in the history of this country have done. They told us not to leave our homes, they shut the border so that we couldn't leave the country or come back in. They ended some businesses through their rules, they effectively forced people out of jobs for not taking a vaccine that I would say most of us don't even bother with now. Now, we can argue about whether any of that or all of that was justified, but I don't think we can argue about how massive that was. It was huge, unprecedented power. Now, with power comes responsibility and accountability - and that's where they're letting us down because they are refusing to be held accountable, even if just in answering questions in front of us, for us to be able to see it. Now, right or wrong, their actions during Covid caused so many people to lose faith in Government. This was their chance, I think, to restore that a little bit. Instead, what they're doing is they're causing us to lose even more faith in Government. If these people ever tell themselves or us that they are here to serve, it is utter BS. They're not here to serve. If they were, every single one of them would put their country's expectations of answers ahead of their own ambitions, but they're not. It's more important for Jacinda to keep managing her brand and living her best international life of glamour. More important for Grant Robertson to keep pulling in that $630,000 a year at Otago. More important for Chippy to try to have another go - deluded - at being Prime Minister again and more important for Ayesha to preserve whatever credibility she has left as a health academic. But they should know, they can delay accountability, but they cannot prevent accountability. And they will be held accountable. Maybe through a future Commission of Inquiry one day or maybe just through the history books that eventually trash their reputations like history has trashed so many other politicians, including Muldoon's. Either way, add to the long list of unpleasant things that we've learned about them, we can now add cowardice to that list too. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Behind the staggering statistics on global diabetes prevalence are millions of individuals with different stories, struggles, and solutions. In this episode, we explore how diabetes affects your brain, body, and cognition, and how it can be prevented, managed, and (in many cases) reversed. We share some powerful personal stories from the clinic, bust some persistent food myths, and learn why diabetes is as much a neurological emergency as a metabolic one. Plus, we speak to three leading experts who are changing the way we treat diabetes: BRENDA DAVIS, RD: renowned dietitian and global authority on plant-based nutrition. DR. MICHELLE MCMACKEN, MD: Executive Director of Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine at NYC Health + Hospitals, Associate Professor at NYU, and public health leader. DR. THEODORE FRIEDMAN: Professor and Chair of Internal Medicine at Charles Drew University. In this episode, we discuss: • The difference between Type 1, Type 2, and prediabetes • How diabetes can contribute to cognitive decline • The role of lipotoxicity and intramuscular fat in insulin resistance • Why “cutting carbs” isn't the full story (and how to focus on food quality) • How public health systems are evolving to make prevention accessible and equitable • The real science behind CGMs (and why glucose spikes shouldn't cause a panic) • How new drugs like Ozempic can support (but not replace) lifestyle change This is...

Global trade has been a risk to the markets for most of this year. Through last week, ever more so. The tariff story has been a shock to the system and is beginning to see governments spend differently at home. Investing in their own supply chains, or with new partners in the global system. Fresh rounds of local stimulus means new opportunities to bolster exposure to global local markets and give parts of the emerging world new reasons to shine. Joining the show today to discuss her approach to this new playing field is Fidelity Global Asset Allocation Portfolio Manager, Ayesha Akbar. Recorded on July 11, 2025.

Creatine, Brain Health, And Alzheimer's: The Research, Explained “A new pilot study on creatine and Alzheimer's disease has caused a stir in the science, health, and wellness circles of social media, with many viral videos making bold claims like “creatine reverses memory loss” or “creatine reduces the risk of dementia. But what does the science actually show?” By Dr Ayesah Sherzai at @thebraindocs. #vegan #plantbased #plantbasedbriefing #braindocs #creatine #alzheimers #dementia #cognitivedecline ===================== Original post: https://thebraindocs.com/creatine-alzheimers-study-explained/ ===================== Ayesha and Dean Sherzai are co-directors of the Alzheimer's Prevention Program at Loma Linda University. They're both practicing neurologists, scientists, authors, parents, and a husband and wife duo that know the value of healthy lifestyle choices and they've seen the impact that their NEURO Plan framework has in making the sick healthy and in taking healthy to the next level. They met as young physicians and in their first conversation learned that both of their grandparents had spent their remaining days on this Earth suffering from dementia. They vowed to do whatever they could to help others avoid this fate and build healthy minds and bodies. They conduct research, treat patients, and serve as professors at Georgetown University, Columbia University, the National Institutes of Health, Mount Sinai, and Loma Linda University, where they serve as the co-directors of The Alzheimer's Prevention Program. They've worked with devastatingly disease-ridden populations and some of the healthiest people in the world – the Loma Linda 7th Day Adventist population (a Blue Zone community, defined by living measurably longer and healthier lives due to optimal nutrition, exercise, stress management, and social support.) ============================= FOLLOW THE SHOW ON: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@plantbasedbriefing Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2GONW0q2EDJMzqhuwuxdCF?si=2a20c247461d4ad7 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/plant-based-briefing/id1562925866 Your podcast app of choice: https://pod.link/1562925866 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PlantBasedBriefing LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/plant-based-briefing/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/plantbasedbriefing/

Stroke is one of the biggest causes of death in the world — but also one of the most preventable. Up to 80–90% of strokes could be avoided with more awareness, resources, and a firmer focus on prevention over intervention. In this episode, we're joined by renowned stroke neurologist and public health pioneer Dr. Olajide Williams, MD, MS, whose ‘Hip-Hop Stroke' movement is a shining example of enacting culturally-sensitive community-wide healthcare change. In this episode, we discuss: • What actually causes a stroke (and how to spot one in seconds using the ‘act FAST' acronym) • Why blood pressure is the #1 modifiable risk factor (and how stress and sleep impact it) • How social determinants like ZIP code and health literacy shape stroke risk • How Dr. Williams' Hip Hop Stroke campaign helped kids teach their parents how to save lives • What every family should know about TIAs (‘mini-strokes') and silent strokes Whether stroke runs in your family, or you simply want to protect your brain, this episode could change (and save) lives.

How can we eat better when we're constantly marketed to in a way that hijacks our attention and habits? To complement the incredible discussions we regularly have about brain-healthy nutrition, in this episode, we've having a very important conversation about how the food industry works against our best intentions, and how we can break through the psychological barriers they use to hold us back. We're joined by Marion Nestle, Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health, Emerita, at New York University, whose name is practically synonymous with food policy: a pioneering nutritionist, public health advocate, and author of some of the most important books in this space, including Food Politics, What to Eat, and Unsavory Truth. In this episode, we discuss: • The neuroscience of why food choices aren't “just willpower” • Why access, not just knowledge, is the biggest barrier to good nutrition • The importance of schools, policy, and local food programs in shaping food culture • The role of stress, fatigue, and decision overload in weakening dietary choices • Why social media is a double-edged sword for nutrition information • How we can make a difference at the community level This is...

A tiny bite from a tiny tick can trigger a complex disease which speaks to some huge problems with our healthcare system. In this episode, we explain the biology, controversy, and cultural blind spots around Lyme disease, a condition that reflects much more than just a bacterial infection. It's also a mirror for our most urgent public health issues: inequality, misinformation, climate change, and the growing mistrust of science. We speak with two world-class experts: • Dr. John Aucott: Director of the Johns Hopkins Lyme Disease Clinical Research Center and leading voice on post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS) • Dr. Richard Marconi: Professor of microbiology and immunology at Virginia Commonwealth University, and a pioneering scientist behind next-generation Lyme vaccines Together, we explore: • Why Lyme disease symptoms can linger long after treatment • What makes Lyme so neurologically disruptive (and so hard to diagnose) • How climate change, suburban development, and racial disparities intersect with the rise of tick-borne illness • The dangers of alternative medicine grifters preying on desperate patients • The truth about the original Lyme vaccine, and what's coming next... We also share practical prevention tips and discuss how Lyme disease is shaping the future of infectious disease research, diagnostics, and brain health. This is...

Restoring a person's ability to speak, enabling individuals with paralysis to regain movement, and detecting neurodegenerative diseases earlier than ever — these are just some of the breakthroughs brain-computer interfaces are making possible. In this episode, we explore the astonishing world of BCIs: technologies that are giving autonomy and independence back to people with diseases like ALS. We discuss: • How BCIs are helping people with neurodegenerative diseases and spinal cord injuries communicate using decoded brain signals • How brain-computer interfaces actually work (and why they're NOT just reading your mind) • Why motor cortex implants may help decode speech, even when inserted in unexpected regions • The ethical challenges of privacy, data ownership, and access in the era of brain-connected devices • The future of the field, from restoring language after stroke to enabling communication in children with cerebral palsy We speak with three world-leading researchers and clinicians who are helping shape this rapidly-advancing area of neuroscience: • Dr. Leigh Hochberg, director of the Center for Neurotechnology and Neurorecovery at Massachusetts General Hospital, and principal clinical investigator of the pilot clinical trials of the BrainGate Neural Interface System. • Dr. David Brandman, neurosurgeon and co-director of the UC Davis Neuroprosthetics Lab. • Dr. Sergey Stavisky, neural engineer and co-director of the UC Davis Neuroprosthetics Lab.

Gluten has become one of the most misunderstood aspects of modern nutrition. Let's set the record straight. In this episode, we untangle the medical, neurological, and cultural narratives surrounding gluten, from celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity to real (and rare) cases of gluten-induced brain dysfunction. We discuss: • The differences between celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, and wheat allergy • How gluten affects the gut, and what ‘leaky gut' really means • Whether gluten can trigger neurological symptoms like ataxia and brain fog • Why cutting out gluten without a diagnosis may do more harm than good • How wheat contributes to a healthy microbiome (and why fiber matters) • What role zonulin plays in gut permeability and immune activation • Why brain fog isn't yet well understood (and the theories behind it) To help us decode the science (and bust the myths) of gluten, nutrition, and the brain, we're joined by two world-renowned experts: DR. ALESSIO FASANO: pediatric gastroenterologist, research scientist, and chief of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition at Mass General for Children (MGfC), and director of the Center for Celiac Research. DR. FRANK CUSIMANO: gastroenterologist, physician-scientist, and gut-brain health communicator with a PhD in Nutritional and Metabolic Biology from Columbia University Institute of Human Nutrition.
