Always consult your physician before making changes to your diet, exercise routine, or medications.TL;DR* The CDC's top 10 causes of death account for roughly 74% of all deaths in the US each year, and up to 80% of chronic disease is estimated to be driven by lifestyle factors — diet, movement, sleep, stress, and toxin exposure. * This episode goes cause by cause (heart disease, cancer, COVID/respiratory disease, accidents, stroke, Alzheimer's, diabetes, kidney disease, flu/pneumonia, and suicide) and lays out what the peer-reviewed research says about preventing, slowing, or reversing each one.* Ready to build your own plan? Book a free Metabolic Blueprint Session →The List, and the Number That Should Keep You Up at NightAccording to the CDC, ten conditions account for about 74% of all deaths in the United States every year:* Heart disease* Cancer* COVID-19 / chronic lower respiratory diseases* Accidents (unintentional injuries)* Stroke* Alzheimer's disease* Diabetes* Kidney disease* Influenza and pneumonia* SuicideHere's the part that doesn't get said enough: research estimates that up to 80% of chronic disease is driven by lifestyle factors — diet, movement, sleep, stress, and toxin exposure. Those aren't destinies. They're decisions, and decisions can change.A landmark paper in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that poor diet alone accounts for more deaths in the US than tobacco use. The fork may be more dangerous than the cigarette. And yet, most patients who end up on four to six medications were never once asked what they eat, how they sleep, or whether they move their bodies before those prescriptions were written. That's the difference between a sick care system and a healthcare system.Heart Disease and Stroke: The Most Reversible Disease We KnowHeart disease kills one American every 34 seconds and has held the #1 spot for over a century. But it's also one of the most reversible conditions in medicine.In 1990, Dr. Dean Ornish's landmark Lifestyle Heart Trial showed that intensive lifestyle changes — diet, exercise, stress management, and social support — could reverse coronary artery disease without drugs or surgery. Arterial plaques reduced. Blood flow improved. Chest pain decreased. A 2019 study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology confirmed it: a plant-predominant diet, regular aerobic exercise, not smoking, and a healthy weight reduced cardiovascular risk by over 80%.What that looks like in practice:* A Mediterranean or whole-food, plant-based diet rich in omega-3s and antioxidants (this isn't the only diet that works — it's the broadest evidence-backed baseline)* Zone 2 cardio (low-intensity aerobic work, three to five times a week — a brisk walk counts)* Managing chronic inflammation, the real driver of arterial plaque formation* Reducing refined sugar and seed oils, which damage the endothelial lining of the arteries* Prioritizing sleep, since poor sleep spikes cortisol and directly harms the heartStroke follows the same playbook: control blood pressure through diet, exercise, and stress reduction. The DASH diet in particular has been shown in multiple studies to lower blood pressure as effectively as medication in many patients.Cancer: 30–50% Preventable, and Possibly More Metabolic Than GeneticTo be clear, this isn't a claim about curing cancer — it's about how much prevention research is available and underused. The World Health Organization estimates that 30–50% of cancers are preventable. The American Institute for Cancer Research has identified lifestyle factors that dramatically reduce risk across multiple cancer types:* Diet. A 2022 meta-analysis in The Lancet linked poor dietary patterns — low fiber, low fruit/vegetable intake, high processed meat — to one in five cancer deaths globally.* Obesity. Excess weight is now the second-leading risk factor for cancer after smoking, because fat tissue is metabolically active and produces hormones like estrogen and inflammatory cytokines that fuel cancer growth.* Exercise. A 2019 study of over 1.4 million people found higher physical activity was associated with lower risk across 13 cancer types, including breast, colon, and endometrial cancer.* Fasting and metabolic health. Emerging research on intermittent fasting and time-restricted eating shows it can lower insulin-like growth factor, a key promoter of cancer cell proliferation.* Toxin reduction. Chronic low-grade exposure to pesticides, plastics (BPA, phthalates), and environmental pollutants has been linked to increased cancer risk. Choosing organic where possible, filtering water and air, and reducing plastic in cookware and storage all matter.There's also a deeper shift happening in how researchers understand cancer itself. It's long been treated primarily as a genetic disease, but the evidence is increasingly pointing toward cancer as a metabolic disease. Dr. Thomas Seyfried at Boston College has done groundbreaking work showing that cancer cells overwhelmingly rely on glucose and glutamine fermentation for energy — which is why a ketogenic or low-glycemic approach may help starve cancer cells while protecting healthy ones. The research is still evolving, but it's compelling.Think of your body like a garden. You can water it, enrich the soil, and pull the weeds — or you can dump sugar and chemicals on it and wonder why nothing grows right. Disease doesn't happen to you. It grows in an environment you create, consciously or not. The good news: you can change that environment starting today.Alzheimer's: “Type 3 Diabetes”Alzheimer's is rising, and it's terrifying to watch someone go through it. But emerging science shows it has a strong lifestyle and metabolic component — researchers now sometimes call it “type 3 diabetes” because of the profound link between insulin resistance and neurodegeneration.Dr. Dale Bredesen's ReCODE Protocol, published in the Journal of Aging, showed that a multimodal lifestyle intervention — diet, exercise, sleep optimization, hormone balancing, and stress reduction — reversed early cognitive decline in the majority of patients treated. In his 2014 case series, 9 of 10 patients with early Alzheimer's or mild cognitive impairment showed measurable improvement, with several returning to work.Key strategies from the research:* Sleep is non-negotiable. The brain's glymphatic (waste clearance) system activates primarily during sleep, flushing out amyloid beta plaque. Poor sleep means plaque buildup.* Exercise. A 2020 study showed aerobic exercise increases BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) — essentially fertilizer for neurons — and reduces dementia risk by up to 35%.* Mediterranean-MIND diet. Shown to slow cognitive aging by an estimated 7.5 years in adherent individuals.* Blood sugar management. Insulin resistance in the brain disrupts its ability to use glucose for energy, effectively starving neurons.* Social connection. Harvard's 80-year longitudinal study found relationship quality was the single strongest predictor of cognitive health and longevity in old age.Type 2 Diabetes and Kidney Disease: One Disease Driving AnotherOver 37 million Americans have type 2 diabetes, and another 96 million are pre-diabetic. Here's the part that surprises people: type 2 diabetes is reversible in the majority of cases, and this isn't controversial — the science is overwhelming.The 2019 DiRECT trial, published in The Lancet, found that nearly half of type 2 diabetics achieved full remission through an intensive dietary intervention alone, with no medication. Other studies using low-carbohydrate and very-low-calorie diets have replicated these results consistently.Diabetic nephropathy — kidney damage from chronically high blood sugar — is the leading cause of kidney failure in the US. Control the upstream issue (blood sugar and metabolic dysfunction) and you protect the downstream organ.The diabetes reversal framework from the research:* Dramatically reduce refined carbohydrates and added sugars to blunt insulin spikes and reduce fat storage in the liver and pancreas* Practice time-restricted eating or intermittent fasting to improve insulin sensitivity* Add resistance training — muscle is your biggest glucose sink, so more muscle means better blood sugar control* Reduce visceral fat (the fat around and inside your organs), a key driver of insulin resistance and inflammationIf this list feels like a lot, that's fair. But it's not about blame — it's about empowerment. You have more control over your health outcomes than the medical system has typically told you.Respiratory Disease, Flu, and PneumoniaChronic lower respiratory diseases like COPD and emphysema are largely driven by smoking and air quality. Quitting smoking remains the single most impactful intervention here, full stop.For flu and pneumonia risk, immune resilience matters: vitamin D optimization, zinc and elderberry, and gut microbiome health (roughly 70% of your immune system lives in your gut). Even mild sleep deprivation has been shown to quadruple susceptibility to viral infection.Suicide and Mental HealthThis is the cause of death nobody wants to talk about, but it's in the top 10 — and it's the leading cause of death for men under 50, and the second-leading cause of death for people ages 10–34.While this is complex and deeply personal, research points to several lifestyle levers:* Exercise functions as an effective antidepressant, largely through endorphin release* The gut-brain axis matters more than most people realize — over 75% of the body's serotonin is produced in the gut, so gut health directly shapes brain chemistry* Social connection and purpose. Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, written while he was in a Nazi concentration camp, captured this: meaning and connection to purpose are essential for survival, and perspective shapes both physiology and outcome* Reducing alcohol, a central nervous system depressant that worsens anxiety and depression despite short-term reliefIf you or someone you love is struggling, crisis hotlines are available 24/7. There's often a reason it's happening, and there's often a way through it.The Common ThreadAcross every single one of these conditions — heart disease, stroke, cancer, Alzheimer's, diabetes, kidney disease, respiratory disease, immune function, mental health — the same five levers keep showing up: diet, exercise, sleep, toxin reduction, and blood sugar balance.Your daily habits are either building disease or building resilience. Every meal, every walk, every night of good sleep compounds — just like interest in a bank account.This Week's Action Plan* Do a food audit. For the next three days, write down everything you eat. No judgment, just awareness — you can't change what you can't see.* Walk 30 minutes a day. It lowers blood pressure, improves insulin sensitivity, boosts BDNF, and reduces cortisol. Simple, not easy — do it anyway.* Optimize your sleep. Consistent bedtime, dark room, cool temperature, no screens.* Get your labs done. Know your fasting glucose, A1C, CRP, vitamin D, triglycerides, and LDL — these are your early warning systems.* Address one stress source this week. A conversation you need to have, a boundary you need to set, or ten minutes of breathwork. Chronic stress is silently killing you — take action on it.Ready for a Real Plan?If you're ready to take your health seriously and want a clear roadmap instead of guesswork, book a Metabolic Blueprint Session.

In this episode of the MindHealth360 Show, I sit down with Judy whose remarkable journey has challenged long-held assumptions about Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline. Diagnosed with Alzheimer's at the age of 67 after watching her mother and four uncles die from the disease, Judy believed her future had already been written. Instead, she became Dr. Dale Bredesen's 'patient zero' – his first human patient to follow the personalised precision medicine approach that would later become the RECODE Programme. Together, they explored whether identifying and addressing the many factors contributing to cognitive decline could alter the course of the disease. Judy's experience went on to help shape one of the most widely discussed personalised approaches to Alzheimer's disease. Together, we explore why Alzheimer's may not be driven by a single cause, but by a combination of underlying factors that differ from person-to-person. Judy explains how nutrition, sleep, exercise, stress reduction, detoxification and other personalised interventions became the foundation of her approach and why consistency has been just as important as the interventions themselves. Fourteen years after her diagnosis, at the age of 81, Judy is fitter, healthier and cognitively sharper than ever. To prove it, she walked 3,000 miles across America to raise awareness of Dr. Bredesen's work and to share a message of hope for others facing cognitive decline. Now, at 82, she is currently walking from Land's End to London, across the UK.. Her extraordinary and inspirational story invites us to reconsider what is possible when cognitive decline is addressed through a personalised, whole-person approach. In this episode, you'll learn: What it was like to receive an Alzheimer's diagnosis after watching dementia affect five close members of Judy's family. How Judy became Dr. Dale Bredesen's 'patient zero' and helped inspire the personalised approach that became the RECODE Programme. Why Alzheimer's may be driven by multiple underlying factors rather than a single disease process. Why identifying and addressing those underlying factors supports better brain health, and better overall health. Why early intervention, lifestyle changes and long-term consistency have been central to Judy's experience. How Judy went from an Alzheimer's diagnosis at 67 to walking 3,000 miles across America at the age of 81 and now, at the age of 82, Judy is walking 530 miles across the UK. What Judy's story reveals about emerging precision medicine approaches to cognitive decline. Why Judy believes hope and taking an active role in your health makes all the difference. Take the conversation further at IMMH 2026 At this year's Integrative Medicine for Mental Health (IMMH) Conference, Judy Benjamin will join Dr. Kat Toups, Dr. Dale Bredesen and Dr. Richard Horowitz for a dedicated session on reversing cognitive decline through personalised, precision medicine. The session will explore groundbreaking results from a randomised controlled trial of precision medicine in Alzheimer's disease, alongside the clinical approaches being used to identify and address the individual drivers of cognitive decline. Join Judy and leading experts in neurodegeneration at IMMH 2026, October 8–11 in San Diego.

Send us Fan MailIt was so fun to meet Mike Allen, known as "the sugar-free man," to discuss his journey into sugar-free living and his work helping others with food addiction. Mike shared how he became the sugar-free man during the pandemic after growing up in a family where sugar was heavily consumed as a form of "love," and how his recovery from alcohol addiction at age 28 led him to eliminate sugar from his diet. He explained the scientific connection between sugar consumption and dopamine regulation in the brain, describing how sugar affects the same reward pathways as drugs and how metabolic psychiatry is revealing the brain's response to sugar consumption. Mike discussed his coaching program, book writing, and the Quit Sugar Summit events, while sharing insights about different types of sugar users and the challenges of going sugar-free in a world where sugar is pervasive in food products. The conversation also touched on the connection between sugar consumption and conditions like Alzheimer's disease, based on Mike's personal experience with his mother's dementia and the work of Dr. Dale Bredesen.Support the show

Dale Bredesen is the senior director of the Precision Brain Health Program at Pacific Neuroscience Institute and also the founding CEO of the Buck Institute. He also has authored a number of books, including, most recently, The Ageless Brain: How to Sharpen and Protect Your Mind for a Lifetime and The End of Alzheimer's: The First Program to Prevent and Reverse Cognitive Decline. Greg and Dale discuss Dale's “network insufficiency” view of Alzheimer's that shifts focus from plaques alone to a balance of synaptic “supply and demand.” He argues the brain switches from connection to protection under chronic insults, which are microbes, inflammation, toxins, metabolic syndrome, sleep apnea, and poor energetics. Dale highlights tau phosphorylation as part of an antimicrobial response and APOE4 as a pro-inflammatory risk gene with evolutionary benefits.  They also discuss diet, insulin resistance, exercise, sleep metrics, stress, and the case for prevention and combined approaches. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: The brain's shift from connection to protection 07:33: We see it at every level in the brain. We see it at the molecular level, that you have a connections program and a protection program. We see it at the cellular level, we see it at the tissue level, and even at the organismal level. You can see when people—and you can actually measure this now with blood tests—is someone on the connection side or on the protection side? So therefore, when you have insults, and over our lives it's typically various microbes, it's leaky gut, it's sleep apnea, it's various toxins we're exposed to, air pollution, mercury, microplastics, unfortunately, anesthetic agents, horrible food, all these things that are demanding you be in that protection mode, then ultimately you cannot support five hundred trillion synapses. The supply-and-demand theory of cognitive decline 30:08: Anything that lowers your supply or increases your demand is going to increase your risk for cognitive decline. On the other hand, anything that lowers the demand and increases the supply is going to be a risk reducer, whether it's Omega-3s, whether it's resolvins, whether it's exercise, whether it's better sleep, more deep sleep, less sleep apnea. There are dozens and dozens and dozens of things. So, for the first time, our armamentarium to reduce risk and reverse decline is huge. Now we can look at these different pieces and manipulate them so that we get better and better outcomes. Are doctors the antithesis to Silicon Valley? 49:23: Well, here's the thing. Doctors are the antithesis to Silicon Valley. Silicon Valley is always looking for what's disruptive, what's next, how can we go further, do more. And to be fair, it's because typically those things are not going to kill you. Whether you, like, get your package from Amazon a little faster, it's not going to kill you. Whereas the doctors are told, “Listen,” just like being in the army, “If you do not do what we tell you, someone's going to die.” And that's fair, okay. But they're very poor, therefore, at innovation. If you go back to history, it's scary, scurvy—it was understood what to do about scurvy in the sixteen hundreds. It wasn't generally accepted until the nineteen hundreds. So thousands and thousands and thousands of people died needlessly because doctors said, “No, we do not believe this.” And the same thing, frankly, is happening now with Alzheimer's disease.

Guest: Dr. Kat Toups What if memory loss and cognitive decline aren't the inevitable parts of aging we've been led to believe? In this episode, our guest is psychiatrist and clinical researcher Dr. Kat Toups, a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, who shares hopeful, research-based insights that are reshaping how we understand brain aging and Alzheimer's disease. For decades, most Alzheimer's clinical trials have focused on single solutions—usually drugs—targeting one aspect of the disease. Despite massive investment, these approaches have delivered limited results. Dr. Toups explains why this one-size-fits-all model often falls short: Cognitive decline rarely has a single cause. Drawing from recent proof-of-concept and randomized controlled trials, Dr. Toups shares with host Deborah Rozman compelling evidence that a personalized, precision-medicine approach—addressing multiple contributors at once—leads to meaningful improvements in memory, thinking speed, and overall brain function, even in people with mild cognitive impairment and early-stage dementia. In her soon-to-be-published paper, titled Precision Medicine Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease: Successful Randomized Controlled Trial, Dr. Toups shares striking patient outcomes achieved through a whole-person approach that included nutrition, exercise, quality sleep, brain training, and stress management. For the stress reduction intervention, the study incorporated heart rhythm coherence biofeedback and a coherence training technique developed by HeartMath that participants practiced for 10 minutes per day. Dr. Toups selected this for ease of use and high consistency of practice among elderly participants—important factors for long-term adherence and achieving significant outcomes. This episode also brings a deeply human perspective, as Dr. Toups shares her own recovery story from cognitive impairment. At the heart of this conversation is a message listeners rarely hear: Brain aging is not necessarily a one-way path. With this new protocol and early action, protecting—and even restoring—brain health appears far more possible than previously thought.

Alzheimer's disease is something many of us have seen affect our parents or grandparents, and it can feel like one of the most daunting challenges of ageing. But what if the narrative we've been told isn't the whole truth? What if prevention – and even reversal – is possible? Today, I'm delighted to welcome Dr Dale Bredesen to my Feel Better, Live More podcast, a conversation I've been looking forward to for many years. An internationally recognised expert in the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases, Dale's career has been guided by a simple idea: that Alzheimer's as we know it is not just preventable, but reversible. His dedicated pursuit of the science that makes this a reality has placed him at the vanguard of neurological research and led to the discoveries that today underlie the ReCODE Protocol™. As well as multiple scientific publications, Dale has written about his findings and research in his first book: ‘The End of Alzheimer's', and his very latest book The Ageless Brain is a fantastic read about the simple things we can all do to improve the health of our brains today and across the duration of our lives. In this powerful conversation, we discuss:    Why Alzheimer's is not one single disease, but the end result of multiple systems in the body becoming imbalanced. The four stages of cognitive decline, and why identifying problems early can be a game-changer for prevention and treatment. The role of genetics, including ApoE4, in dementia risk, and why knowing your genetic status can empower you to take action. How inflammation, toxins and energy deficits all contribute to brain decline – and what we can do to address them.    Real-life case studies of people who have improved, even those in the early stages of dementia. The seven key lifestyle factors that can protect and optimise brain health at any age, from diet and exercise to sleep, stress and detoxification. Dale also shares his vision of a future where cognitive decline is no longer seen as an inevitable part of ageing, but as something we can act on early – much like we already do with heart disease or cancer - and this opens the door to simple, everyday steps we can all take to protect our brains. If you've witnessed Alzheimer's in your family, it's easy to feel powerless. But as Dale explains, there is much we can do to reduce our risk, support brain health and hold onto the connections and memories that matter most. I hope you enjoy listening.

Alzheimer's is not inevitable—and it may even be optional. In this groundbreaking episode, you'll learn how to prevent, slow, and in some cases reverse cognitive decline using strategies that also enhance brain optimization, metabolism, and longevity. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey is joined by Dr. Dale Bredesen, a world-renowned neurologist and leading Alzheimer's researcher who has published over 240 peer-reviewed papers. Dr. Bredesen has spent decades proving that Alzheimer's is not a one-pathway disease but a network failure driven by inflammation, toxins, and mitochondrial dysfunction. His protocol has helped thousands of patients regain memory, extend healthspan, and reclaim brain performance. Together, they unpack how biohacking tools like fasting, ketosis, supplements, sleep optimization, cold therapy, and functional medicine can rewire neuroplasticity, protect mitochondria, and keep the brain in “connection mode” instead of decline. You'll hear why the pharmaceutical industry resists these solutions, how toxins like Paraquat and mold fuel cognitive decline, and what young people can do right now to bulletproof their brains for life. This episode is essential listening if you care about hacking human performance, upgrading metabolism, or extending longevity. You'll walk away with practical strategies you can use today—whether that means optimizing your mitochondria with nootropics, strengthening resilience with smarter not harder recovery, or fueling your brain with Danger Coffee. You'll Learn: • Why Alzheimer's can begin as early as your 20s and what biomarkers to track • The seven major drivers of Alzheimer's and how to reverse them with biohacking strategies • How APOE4 genetics, toxins, and inflammation accelerate brain aging—and what to do about it • The role of mitochondria, ketosis, and fasting in restoring brain optimization and neuroplasticity • Why prevention is exponentially easier than reversal and the top three actions you should start in your 20s • How to avoid “learned helplessness” in medicine and reclaim control over your brain span and longevity Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

If you’re worried about memory loss or have a family history of Alzheimer’s, this episode is a must-listen. Angela sits down with world-renowned neurologist and author Dr. Dale Bredesen to unpack the groundbreaking science behind Alzheimer’s prevention and reversal—even if you carry the APOE4 gene. With over 30 years of research, Dr. Bredesen shares how to optimise your brain health through metabolic flexibility, inflammation control, and personalised interventions. In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Angela also opens up about her own genetic risk and experience caring for her mum with Alzheimer’s. They explore why cognitive decline is not inevitable and how Dr. Bredesen’s new book, The Ageless Brain, is putting the power back into your hands. Whether you're 35 or 75, the steps to preserve your cognition start now—and the tools have never been more accessible. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Alzheimer’s Is Preventable and Reversible: Dr. Bredesen explains how addressing root causes like inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and toxicity can stop and even reverse cognitive decline. Perimenopause and Brain Fog: Oestrogen loss affects brain energy metabolism, making perimenopausal women more vulnerable to cognitive decline. Your Brain Runs on Supply & Demand: Cognitive health depends on supporting your brain’s high energy needs while reducing inflammatory load and toxic exposure. Check Your Cognitive Biomarkers Early: Blood markers like P-Tau217, GFAP, and A-beta42 can reveal risk decades before symptoms appear. Lifestyle = Medicine: Sleep quality, insulin sensitivity, resistance training, brain stimulation, and even stress reduction all play a critical role. GLP-1s and Alzheimer’s Risk: While popular for weight loss, these drugs may negatively impact cognition in some people—especially APOE4 homozygotes.
