Dementia is a metabolic disease, not a genetic one. Here's what's really destroying your brain, and how to prevent and possibly even reverse it. Dr. Anthony Chaffee MD.  

How can you enjoy sugar without gaining weight, fuelling cravings or crashing later in the day? The answer, surprisingly, is not to cut it out. In today's episode, Professor Tim Spector and Professor Sarah Berry discuss which forms of sugar affect your blood sugar levels most, and what small changes you can make today to reduce the impact. They also explore how sharp blood sugar spikes and dips may affect hunger, energy, inflammation and long-term health. By the end of the episode, you'll know how to spot hidden sugars, how to avoid the afternoon slump and energy crashes, and, most importantly, how to enjoy cake with less impact on your blood sugar. Sugar is not the enemy. But could a few small changes help you enjoy sweet foods without the cycle of cravings, hunger and energy crashes?

Drop us a line or two . . .LONG SUMMARYQueenie kicks things off fresh from a weekend packed with family events — her niece's bridal shower, a pool party at her sister-in-law's place, and what would have been her late mother-in-law Kay's third anniversary. The shower was a hit partly because the bride lives in Texas and had the good sense to put "just ship it" on the invitation, meaning zero gift-unwrapping theater, zero bow hats, zero frantic "she's in the bathroom, don't open it yet" energy. The scratch-off card game was a crowd-pleaser — you send in a photo of the groom, they print him into a celebrity card deck, guests scratch to find him, winner gets a gift bag. Clean, fun, no one had to pretend to cry over a KitchenAid.On the way to the pool party, Queenie stopped at a neighborhood lemonade stand (Disney World fund, very ambitious), handed over a ten, got some chitchat — and then, as she's leaving in her bathing suit, a little girl looks up and says, *I like your dress.* Queenie nearly corrected her and then wisely decided: no need. Just drive away in your very mini dress.The conversation pivots to long marriages when TT brings up a moment at pickleball — a sweet young woman, married two years, asked TT and her husband what their secret was after learning they'd been together 43 years (Queenie initially insisted it was 45 or 46; the math got worked out eventually). The husband's answer: "You have to learn when not to say things." Queenie's suggested alternatives: laziness, procrastination, inertia, conflict aversion, exhaustion, and not wanting to go broke. TT reveals the piece of advice she *wanted* to write on a bridal shower card once but didn't have the nerve to sign her name to. It is, shall we say, anatomically specific and probably the most useful thing anyone has ever almost written on one of those cards.This leads to a small detour about the lost art of handwriting — Queenie had to get a second advice card at the shower because her first attempt looked like it was written by, in her words, "a deranged old woman." Neither of them writes anymore. Cursive, once a graded subject, now just runs off the page on its own while the brain races ahead.The segment **Wait, What? No Way, José** lands on smell training and brain aging, sourced from a Harvard neurobiologist (legitimacy confirmed: it's not just hoo-ha). Turns out your nose is directly wired into cognitive, emotional, and memory centers of the brain, smell loss is linked to 139 health conditions, and simply sniffing five strong scents for 20 seconds twice a day — lavender, lemon, coffee, clove, eucalyptus — with active focus can improve verbal fluency and even increase hippocampus volume. The ladies immediately start workshopping their personal scent lineups. TT goes for baking bread, tomato plants, and basil. Queenie wants salt air (requires seaweed, complicated to bottle), eucalyptus, lavender, the smell of a baby's head, and the smell of spring — which she acknowledges is more of a smell memory than a smell. TT connects the dots: smells are evocative, strengthening the connection probably strengthens memory, and also TT has chronic sinus issues so this whole exercise might be harder for her. Queenie floats eucalyptus as a possible unclogger. Nobody huffs gasoline, despite TT's complicated feelings about it.Hot on the heels of nose science comes a cannabis news drop: a large new study published in BMJ Mental Health found no link between cannabis use and cognitive decline or dementia risk in older adults. Unlike the patchwork of conflicting prior studies, this one has statistical weight — large observational sample plus genetic causation testing. The researchers themselves say it's reassuring, not a green light for heavy use. Queenie's editorial: "Put that in your pipe and smoke it, everybody." TT suspects the dementia scare was always a "dog whistle" designed to keep older adults — now the biggest cannabis-purchasing demographic — away from the dispensary.**TT's Choice** pulls number 50: *What if you woke up fluent in one new language? Which one, and what's the first thing you say?* TT chooses American Sign Language. Queenie blinks. Slowly. Several times. She comes around — ASL is cool, meaningful, a genuine bridge — but not before pointing out that you can't exactly holler across a room in it and that the deaf community is, statistically speaking, a smaller conversation pool than Mandarin speakers. TT's first thing she'd sign: *Hey, I can communicate with you.* Queenie's pick is Hindi or Mandarin, motivated by sheer population density and years of working with people from India and China. Her first phrase would be "How may I best support you?" They both know exactly one useful sign — the universal one — and demonstrate it enthusiastically. World peace is declared, then immediately rescinded.**The Fuck It List** this week belongs to Queenie, who has been drowning in communication chaos. Working with relocation assignees, she's been available in every possible channel simultaneously — WhatsApp, texting, email, calls — with no structure, no response windows, 14 draft messages floating in the ether. She's saying fuck it to the myth of 24/7 availability and replacing it with something she finds less loaded than "setting boundaries": setting expectations. Spelling out clearly what method to use when, what response time is realistic, what constitutes an emergency. TT's contribution: "Clarity is kindness." They both acknowledge the particular guilt that comes with this for women of their generation — trained to give, to accommodate, to say yes and mean it and then quietly resent it. Queenie also notes the extra complication: some of her assignees are new to a city with no social network, making her feel like the only lifeline. Still. Expectations. In writing. Part of the intake process. Done.The back half is pure domestic dispatch: TT is doing smoothies for lunch, lost some weight, allowed herself ice cream on the Wisconsin River (a ferry went past; they did not take it), and permits herself two pieces of hard candy a day. Queenie is preparing for a colonoscopy on Wednesday — which she is reframing as "Cleansday" and, after the year she had, genuinely does not fear. She was apparently scolded last time for insufficient prep results, a situation she finds baffling since she followed instructions and couldn't exactly verify from her end. More Miralax this time. She's fine with it. Meanwhile, Queenie's daughter Megan had her first mammogram and got called back — technical imaging issue, folding, unclear view, very common for a first scan, not worrying anyone. Queenie's granddaughter just started high school. Time, as always, is marching on without asking permission.They close, as they do, pleasantly confused and absolutely fine with it.SHORT SUMMARYQueenie survived a bridal shower, a pool party, and being complimented on her "dress" (it was a bathing suit) — all in one weekend. CDQ covers smell training as a legit brain health tool, a reassuring new cannabis-and-cognitive-decline study, a TT's Choice debate about sign language vs. Mandarin, and Queenie's Fucked List entry on finally setting expectations — not boundaries, *expectations* — around her availability. Aging brains, long marriages, colonoscopy prep, and ASL for "fuck you": a perfectly normal episode. TOP 5 PULL QUOTES**TT:** "There's no problem that a blowjob can't fix. I didn't have the guts to write it — I didn't know these people."**Queenie:** "I have long-term care insurance, and I'm not afraid to exhaust all my benefits. And when they're gone, guess what? So am I."**TT:** "To what do you attribute your successful marriage? And I said, I don't know. And honey said, You have to learn when not to say things."**Queenie:** "I'm saying fuck it to the pretense that I'm available twenty-four seven. My assignees will be better served if I just spell it out — setting expectations, not boundaries. Clarity is kindness."**Queenie:** "I'm looking forward to my colonoscopy prep because I'll drop a few pounds. I'm viewing it as a cleanse. A reset. I can start fresh. That's what I should've been calling it all along — Cleansday."# EPISODE VIBEIt's the kind of episode that feels like eavesdropping on two people who've known each other long enou Welcome to the Closet Disco Queen Pot-Cast, a #1 ranked Women in Cannabis (Feedspot, Million Pods; 2025) comedy podcast with music and pop culture references that keeps you laughing and engaged.

It's our 200th episode of RECESS, and Juliet and I are marking the milestone with laughs, a little blood, and a lot of gratitude. We look back at the last 50 episodes — we runs through the extraordinary lineup of women guests who've joined us, a powerhouse group that deserves more ears, and highlight one of our favorite recent episodes with John John Florence.Then yes, we have to address the incident. On the 4th of July, at the Marin County Fair, I picked up the child's sledgehammer, went a little too hard on the high striker, and the thing bounced back and opened up my head. A surgeon friend materialized to administer three staples and with zero blood on the white shirt, we were on our way back into the fair for fireworks. But it will go down in history as "the year that Kelly sledgehammered his head".From there, we get into the World Cup and give a long-overdue shoutout to the coaches and support staff doing the invisible, exhausting work that makes elite performance possible at that level. We also land on why Haaland wearing his mom's name on his jersey might be the coolest thing happening in sports right now.We just got back from a week on the Klamath River - no cell service, no Wi-Fi, days of being barefoot and sleeping under the stars. We were stoked to run into the Paddle Tribal Waters group on the river - a program reconnecting indigenous youth to their land through whitewater kayaking. Our bodies felt incredible. Our nervous systems got a full reset. We can't recommend fully disconnecting out in nature enough.And finally, we share a note we got from Jason Sacks (CEO of Positive Coaching Alliance, and prior TRS Podcast guest), who emailed us after reading an Ambush newsletter piece we ran on hearing loss and dementia risk — because hearing loss is the single biggest modifiable dementia risk factor. After getting his first hearing aid, Jason is here to say that the stigma around doing something about it needs to go.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy the women guests on RECESS over the last 50 episodes represent some of the most essential health and performance conversations in the feedWhat actually happens when Kelly takes a child's sledgehammer to the head at a county fair — and why zero blood ended up on the white shirtHow elite coaching staffs manage travel, fueling, and real-time decision-making during the World CupWhy Haaland putting his mom's name on his jersey is about more than a jersey — and what mitochondria have to do with athletic potentialWhat the removal of the Klamath River dams has made possible for salmon, ecosystems, and indigenous communitiesHow the Paddle Tribal Waters program is using whitewater kayaking to reconnect lindegenous youth to their riverWhy a week barefoot on uneven terrain, off your phone, and sleeping outside resets your body and nervous system in ways daily training can't replicateWhy hearing loss is the #1 modifiable dementia risk factor — outranking smoking, education, and depression — and how treating it can change everythingKey Highlights: (00:00) Welcome back to RECESS and a milestone: 200 episodes(01:30) Kelly's pick: John John Florence, humility, and what makes a truly extraordinary athlete(02:20) Highlights from the last 50 episodes: the women guest lineup and why it matters that downloads drop when women are featured(04:10) Lisa's pick: Cesalina Gracie, training for Everest, and the unexpected controversy the episode sparked(05:00) The 4th of July high striker incident: one child's sledgehammer, three staples, and a surgeon who showed up to the fair(09:44) Kelly reads the actual text exchange from that night, including Kelly's medical self-assessment: "cut plus"(11:10) World Cup and a shoutout to the coaches and support staff doing the invisible work behind elite performance(14:45) Haaland's jersey, mitochondria inheritance, and why your mom is the reason you can suffer(16:47) Kelly's session with Rich Roll on his new Open Container format and what it looked like to problem-solve in real time with an elite athlete(20:06) The Klamath River: 300 miles of free-flowing water following the largest dam removal project in U.S. history(20:50) Paddle Tribal Waters: indigenous youth returning to the river through whitewater kayaking, two years in the making(22:29) Running into the group at camp, and what it feels like to watch teenagers discover a superpower(25:29) What a week on the river — barefoot, phone-free, sleeping outside — actually does to your body and nervous system(27:08) Bird Club, the initiation ritual, and a golden eagle with a seven-foot wingspan at ten feet off the windshield(29:30) Hearing loss as the #1 modifiable dementia risk, and a follow-up from podcast guest Jason Sacks on his first week with a hearing aid(32:54) Summer to-do list and send-off

What happens when words are no longer enough?   In this moving episode, Medium and Channel Stephanie Banks shares her deeply personal experience of caring for her mother during her journey with Dementia disease and the unexpected spiritual connection that emerged along the way. As her mother's ability to communicate verbally diminished, Stephanie began receiving what she describes as channeled communication from her mother's consciousness. Rather than telepathy, she experienced this as a form of soul communication that transcended the limitations of the physical mind, offering guidance, comfort, and a profound sense of continued connection. Together, we explore the nature of consciousness, the difference between channeling and telepathy, and how love may continue to bridge the distance when conventional communication is no longer possible. Whether you have a loved one living with Dementia, are interested in channeling and spiritual communication, or are simply curious about the enduring connection between souls, this conversation offers a thoughtful and compassionate perspective on one family's extraordinary experience.

Can neuroscience strengthen your faith? In this thought-provoking episode of inContext, Michael Easley sits down with neuroscientist Dr. Robyn Honea, whose research has focused on Alzheimer's disease, brain imaging, and neuroplasticity for more than two decades. Together, they explore what modern neuroscience reveals about the incredible design of the human brain—and why our ultimate hope is found not in biohacking or longevity, but in Christ. Dr. Honea shares how years of studying the aging brain led her to publicly integrate her Christian faith with her scientific work. They discuss the fear of dementia, the promise and limitations of medical advances, the role of exercise and healthy habits in brain health, and why believers should steward their bodies without making health an idol. Whether you're caring for aging parents, interested in neuroscience, working in healthcare, or simply wondering how faith and science fit together, this conversation offers biblical wisdom, scientific insight, and lasting encouragement. Topics Covered: Neuroplasticity explained Alzheimer's research and brain imaging Faith and science working together The fear of aging and dementia Brain health, exercise, and lifestyle Supplements, longevity, and biohacking Romans 12 and renewing your mind Music, memory, and dementia Why our identity is more than biology Living with hope as we grow older Chapters 00:00 – Introduction and Meet Dr. Robyn Honea 02:20 – From Schizophrenia Research to Alzheimer's Disease 05:00 – What Is Neuroplasticity? 08:30 – Why Dr. Honea Began Writing About Faith and Science 11:00 – What the Bible Says About Aging 13:00 – Can We Outsmart Aging? 15:15 – Supplements, Longevity & Health Culture 18:00 – Integrating Faith into a Scientific Career 22:15 – The Fear of Aging and Cognitive Decline 26:00 – Brain Scans, Biomarkers & Medical Wisdom 33:00 – Trusting God Instead of Living in Fear 35:00 – Why Music Unlocks Memory in Dementia 37:00 – Romans 12 and Renewing Your Mind 41:00 – Finding Identity Beyond Biology 47:30 – Does Someone with Dementia Still Know You're There? 49:30 – Final Encouragement and Closing Links Mentioned The Honea Lab The Brain God Designed on Substack Watch the highlights and full version of this interview on our Youtube channel.

I am all moved back in with my mother. No one want to move back home, but in this case, it is necessary! Dementia is such a horrible disease, and yes, I hate it for her and for me...

I hope it's ok that this month's FuMP submission is actually two songs stuck together as one, and that only half of it is funny. In 2002 I became an uncle for the second time, to a nephew named Sachio. He was the happiest, most calm and even-tempered child I've ever encountered. Just all smiles, all the time. I didn't see him or his sister that much, as they lived far away, but with each visit he became more and more interesting and fun and inspiring. For his third birthday I parodied a Van Morrison song for Sachio, and that's the first half of today's offering. In 2005 I made a CD of that song, and that CD still has a proud place in the upstairs bathroom of their home in Georgia. As I write this, Sachio is 24 and in hospice care, at home with his parents. His sister has come for the summer to be with them, along with her wife. I'm visiting every few weeks. In September 2025 Sachio was diagnosed with a Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor. It's a terribly aggressive cancer, which becomes so entangled in so many healthy organs that it becomes very hard to treat. Six months of chemo barely slowed its growth, and in April 2026 Sachio decided that quality of life was more important than quantity. I've written quite a bit about Sachio over the past year, but it was personal and not for public eyes or ears. Now it's fathers day weekend. I'm visiting with them in Georgia, and alternately feeling like it's good that I'm here, and then that I'm an additional burden being here, and then that it doesn't matter one way or the other. We keep breathing and watching tennis and watching world cup soccer and eating and sleeping... trying to keep this brave and doomed young man comfortable and comforted as the clock ticks. *** Sachio died at 4 am on Friday June 26, 2026. The hole he left is immeasurable. The second half of today's offering probably isn't comforting. I can do music pretty well, and I can do comedy pretty well... but neither seems to be of any value for my family (or for anyone else) in the face of incurable cancer. I've found that making things helps me process and deal with the pain and the isolation and the helplessness, so I've kept at it. It was helpful to me to make something "pretty" or "melodic" out of all this monumental unfairness. It was helpful to beat the hell out of the drums, and to turn this up really loud. And, having played it for a few close friends, I think it might actually have some merit. And maybe even some value for those who are grieving. Who knows? The main thing I've noticed is that pretty much anything is okay to say or do when the outcome is certain and awful. Very little judgement has been shown lately. So here goes. Sachio was violinist and a guitarist and a saxophonist and a singer. I wish I could say that we played music together, but for some reason that only happened a few times, very casually. We never composed anything together, and we never recorded anything. He played music with his sister, and with his father, and with his school orchestra, and later with his band "The Drapes." A few years ago I invited him and his band to come up to Nashville and do some recording, but that never happened. And that makes me profoundly sad. For this song, I composed the finger-picked instrumental bit upstairs in Sachio's room, while Sachio and his parents were sleeping in the basement room that had become Sachio's hospice ward. Sachio's room was (and will remain) full of his awards and sports posters and lots of things he'd collected in 24 years. As I worked on the song, I thought, "I'm in his bedroom, and he'll never see this room again." And I tried to put that big sadness into the music. In the original "Sachio" song from 2005, I enlisted the saxophone talents of Michael Duncan in Los Angeles. For the second, newer part, I wanted to have a violin, so I asked Tim Lorsch to provide that in Nashville, and he kindly agreed. Everything else you hear is me. Two individual songs compose this whole. My hope is that together they kind of bookend a life lived well, even if it was much too short. I hope people can relate to the pain and overwhelmingness of life and death, and that they think of the awesome gift that we all get for a short while. I hope the "god works in mysterious ways" people will see another perspective, as this song does not let any god off the hook. I hope this does something for someone. I'm just putting it all out there. Doing my best, whether it's sufficient or not. Many thanks to my brother Adam Goodie, his wife Chinami Goodie, their daughter Sara Goodie, and of course Sachio himself. You have each shown inspiring strength and love through all the good times and bad. You can see Sachio's obituary here. And you can see a video of this song, a slideshow, here.

When is the right time to start taking Parkinson's drugs? Having put the question to the Movers & Shakers Facebook group, we had a range of responses from those who didn't take Levodopa (the widely prescribed and most effective medication for treating Parkinson's symptoms) at all, to those who swore by starting early. In this episode, we hear from some of those people, and receive myth-busting, expert advice from our guests, Stephanie Bancroft, a senior pharmacist and the chair of the PUK specialist pharmacy network, and Dr Lucia Batzu, a consultant specialising in Parkinson's and Dementia. Movers & Shakers is brought to you in partnership with Cure Parkinson's.Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer, Sir Nicholas Mostyn and Jeremy Paxman.Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot.Associate Producer: Lulu GoadMusic by Alex Stobbs Hosted on Acast.

We are in the second week of our 4-part series on the 6th-leading cause of death in America.  In this episode, we focus on the various Structure-Function Care treatments at Holistic Integration that improve brain health.  In this episode, you'll learn:—How Alzheimer's treatment from a Disease Care perspective is almost exclusively focused on the amyloid plaques, which has not been effective thus far.—Why lymphatic and venous drainage from the brain is  a "critical" factor and is actually a specialty of Holistic Integration's Structural Care. —The explanation about why insomnia drugs like Ambien are not helpful for clearing out amyloid plaques in the brain while you sleep. —The "well-proven" nutritional aspects that can improve your brain health.  And how Holistic Integration can test supplements to know which ones will work best for you. —How a proper Vitamin D level is "probably the most proven thing to help with brain health" and can reduce your chances of developing Dementia by 40%. —Why Vitamin D from sunlight is better for the body than in supplement form.  And the best time of day to get your dose of sunshine. —The danger of Heavy Metals to your brain health and how Dr. Prather definitely sees a correlation between Aluminum and Alzheimer's.  And how Holistic Integration is "100% successful" in gently detoxing the body from Heavy Metals without the harshness of chelation.—How Hormones have "a huge effect" on the health of your brain and can increase your chances of developing Alzheimer's.—The reason why Dr. Prather says the Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic adjustment at Holistic Integration is "probably even more important than any other aspect" for anyone with Alzheimer's. —Why you are more likely to develop brain problems if you have a "head forward" posture.  And how this aberrant posture has increased dramatically over the years. http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com*Receive exclusive bonus content as a member of our Voice Of Health Patreon Community:https://www.patreon.com/cw/VoiceofHealthPodcast

Spaff recently attended a reunion dinner with some old friends. Kurt asked if anyone had dietary restrictions. Dave said cilantro. Then he added, "Not allergic. Just can't stand it." And a song parody was born! What we learned about cilantro: o Americans call coriander leaves cilantro. Other English speakers call all of it coriander. o An olfactory receptor gene, OR6A2, determines your response to the aldehydes in cilantro. Which is to say, it's not just your preference. It's genetic. o A bunch of coriander was found in King Tut's tomb. You can decide if that's what killed him. What we learned about "Fernando": o Before ABBA's English remake, the song was released in Swedish by Frida (Anni-Frid Lyngstad) and is about a brokenhearted bartender, not a Latin American freedom fighter. o In 1976 (Happy Bicentennial!) "Fernando" hit #1 in 15 countries. In Australia it was the longest-running #1 ever (until it was beaten by Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You"). In the US it only reached #13. o Musicologist Philip Tagg wrote a 500-page book about "Fernando" and even he wasn't sure exactly which instruments were used. Bob had to make an educated guess.

Loretta Veney has a story that holds heartbreak and humor in the same hand.In this episode, Loretta walks through a thirteen-year medical journey that started with a doctor telling her to get over it and eventually led to a diagnosis that nearly cost her life. Sheshares what it meant to build a marriage with her husband Tim around hospital rooms and Dairy Queen runs, and how that same resilience carried her through sixteen years of caring for her mother through dementia.She also traces how Legos found their way into her life. Her mother gave her a box of them as a child, something to build with during hard days at school. Decades later, when hermother's memory began to fade, those same bricks became the thing that helped her find her words again. Loretta shares how that discovery grew into Lego Serious Play sessions with families and care communities around the world, andhow a six-year-old boy who saw her on the news went home and taught his own grandmother to build.This conversation moves through grief, forgiveness, and joy, and shows what it looks like to keep choosing all three, even on the hardest daysChapters00:00 Welcome and a lifelong friendship01:56 "A walking miracle": introducing Loretta's story04:49 The medical journey begins07:06 A doctor dismisses her pain10:03 A new doctor explains endometriosis12:30 Thirteen years, and a warning that saved her life15:21 Choosing joy in the hospital16:26 A new chapter: her mother's dementia diagnosis22:07 What ice cream taught her about care25:01 "Understood the assignment": remembering joy26:23 Becoming "very nice person"34:27 Losing Tim38:05 The village that stepped up40:20 Writing the book, with her mother's blessing43:31 A family secret, and choosing forgiveness52:08 Turning caregiving into research on resilience53:29 How the Legos really began58:05 Discovering Lego Serious Play59:57 Becoming the Lego Lady, globally1:05:13 Building across generations1:15:13 The small, everyday ways she chooses joy1:22:06 Where to find Loretta, and closing thoughtsMore About LorettaLoretta Veney is known around the world as the Lego Lady, and for good reason. What began as a way to help her mother navigate dementia became a life's work: using LegoÒ Serious Play to help people with memory loss find their words,their calm, and their joy. Loretta cared for her mother for sixteen years, through a journey that also included the sudden loss of her husband Tim and a thirteen-year medical odyssey of her own.  She's spoken across the globe, featured in Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The NY Times, Good Morning America and a PBS Special. Loretta was chosen as one of Robin Roberts Thriver Thursday recipients, honored with Maude Award for her work in dementia care and named 2019 John Hopkins Medicine's Trailblazer of the Year.

Neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter Explains Brain Inflammation and Alzheimer's Risk Your brain has its own immune system, and when it turns against you, it becomes the hidden driver behind Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, depression, and even long COVID. This episode hands you the science to recognize it early and reverse it. Get Dr. Perlmutter's new book Brain Defenders: https://drperlmutter.com/books/brain-defenders/ Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. David Perlmutter, a board-certified neurologist and six-time New York Times bestselling author whose work sits at the intersection of neurology, nutrition, and brain health. He is a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition, serves on its Board of Directors, and sits on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. His books, including the number one bestseller Grain Brain, span 32 languages and have sold over a million copies, and his upcoming release, Brain Defenders, explores the pivotal role of microglia, the brain's immune cells, in protecting, repairing, and reprogramming the brain for lifelong resilience. Dave and Dr. Perlmutter break down how microglia, the brain's resident immune cells, shift from a supportive state into a destructive one called M1, and why this shift, not amyloid plaque, may be the real driver of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other neurodegenerative conditions. They dig into why the leading amyloid-clearing drugs fail to improve cognition, what a landmark JAMA study revealed about reversing cognitive decline through lifestyle intervention alone, and why a single daily serving of ultra-processed food raised Alzheimer's risk by 13 percent in a 12.7 year study. They also cover new research on GLP-1 drugs and brain inflammation, the surprising role of gum disease and oral bacteria in dementia risk, and why 40 hertz light therapy is emerging as a low-cost tool for clearing brain plaque and calming neuroinflammation. You'll Learn: Why the shift from supportive to destructive brain immune cells may be the true root cause of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Why leading Alzheimer's drugs fail to improve cognition, and what the original research behind the amyloid hypothesis actually showed How one daily serving of ultra-processed food raises Alzheimer's risk, and what a landmark lifestyle intervention study found instead Whether GLP-1 drugs help or harm brain inflammation, based on new Parkinson's and Alzheimer's trial data How gum disease and oral bacteria are linked to dementia, and simple daily habits that reduce that risk Why 40 hertz light therapy is emerging as a tool to clear brain plaque and calm neuroinflammation How ketones, DHA, and metabolic health protect the brain after head injury Thank you to our sponsors! - Beyond Wonderland Conference | Oct 13 - 14, 2026.

Discipline Drives Longevity PodcastFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCAST* Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Training Builds Muscle with Less Joint Stress* Low-load, high-repetition resistance exercise combined with blood flow restriction can produce muscle growth comparable to traditional heavy lifting while using only about 20–30% of maximal weight.* BFR may be particularly valuable for older adults, injured athletes, and people with joint pain because it minimizes stress on the joints while preserving or increasing muscle mass. Emerging evidence also suggests it increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein linked to brain health.* Regular Sauna Use May Be a Powerful Vitality Enhancer* Frequent sauna bathing is associated with substantially lower risks of cardiovascular disease and dementia, while also lowering blood pressure, improving vascular function, and enhancing immune cell activity.* Heat therapy may also reduce muscle loss during periods of immobilization, making it a promising non-pharmacologic strategy for healthy aging.* Cold Exposure Improves Resilience and Metabolic Health* Cold exposure acts as a controlled stressor that reduces inflammation, decreases oxidative stress, activates metabolically beneficial brown fat, and improves autonomic nervous system function.* Regular cold showers or ice baths may enhance recovery, improve stress resilience, and support long-term cardiovascular and metabolic health when practiced appropriately.* Maintaining an Ideal Weight Is Essential for Long-Term Vitality* Excess body weight increases the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis, and cancer.* The podcast emphasizes a simple principle: eat less and eat less often. Intermittent fasting can be an effective, low-cost strategy for weight management and may provide additional benefits for brain, liver, gut, and metabolic health, although total calorie reduction remains the primary driver of weight loss.* Environmental Stressors Can Complement Exercise for Better Health* Heat, cold, and BFR training represent forms of “environmental training” that challenge the body in ways conventional exercise alone cannot.* The overarching message is that strategically applying these evidence-based stressors—along with maintaining a healthy weight—can improve physical vitality, preserve muscle, enhance cognitive health, and ultimately support better performance and healthier aging.Copyright VyVerse, LLC.

Dementia caregiving asks you to carry things nobody prepares you for, and some of the hardest parts are never said out loud. This video isn't based on research. It's based on what I've learned from working with thousands of caregivers over the past 17 years as a geropsychologist. If caregiving still hurts even though you're doing everything right, if people question your decisions, if you can't stop replaying every hard moment in your head, I want you to hear this first: none of that means you're failing. In this episode I walk you through five truths about dementia caregiving I wish every caregiver knew, the ones that can make this whole journey feel a little more possible to live.  If you'd like to see this episode on video, you can hop on over to my YouTube channel here. → Join the Care Collective: https://tinyurl.com/podcast-cc  → Get free weekly tools and tips in my newsletter, The Dementia Dose: https://tinyurl.com/dementiadose-podcast  ⏱ CHAPTERS 0:00 - Why this caregiving journey always involves pain 2:40 - Why you can't control how others feel about your caregiving decisions 5:00 - Why you can't take away your loved one's emotional pain 6:50 - Catching the harsh things you say to yourself 7:49 - Why no caregiver has all the answers, and why that's okay #dementia #dementiacaregiver #dementiacaregiving #caregiversupport #alzheimers   --- Hi, I'm Dr. Natali Edmonds, a board-certified geropsychologist specializing in dementia care. Whether your loved one has Alzheimer's, frontotemporal, Lewy body, vascular, or mixed dementia, we believe that to create a dementia-friendly world, we must first create a caregiver-friendly world.

In this episode, I sit down with bestselling author‑illustrator Charlie Mackesy, whose work – The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse – has become a global touchstone for kindness, vulnerability and hope. Yet Charlie's path was anything but straightforward: he grew up feeling inherently at fault, shaped by the pressures of competitive schooling and the emotional weight of carrying the painful stories readers now share with him. He talks about failing his driving test four times and the devastating loss of his best friend, Jamie, in a car crash – a grief that propelled him to London and sparked the first moment he began drawing compulsively, with music as solace. Charlie reflects on not achieving what he calls “conventional success” through marriage or children, the underrated importance of friendship and the power of kindness and self‑compassion. We also explore his years of not earning a living as an artist – a period he now sees not as failure, but as an essential process.

Can food improve brain health, memory and mood?  In this episode, Prof Felice Jacka and Prof Tim Spector explore how diet, the gut microbiome and fermented foods may affect your mood, brain function and dementia risk. Drawing on clinical trials and research involving more than 10 million people, they explain why what you eat could have a much bigger impact on your brain than most people realise, and what the latest science suggests you can do about it. Felice, who helped create the field of nutritional psychiatry, explains how food influences the brain through the gut microbiome and inflammation. She and Tim explore why some foods change brain function, which support brain health, what the evidence says about ultra-processed foods, and why diet is becoming an increasingly important part of research on brain and mental health. Learn which foods to eat more often, which foods to reduce, and simple, affordable ways to build meals that support your gut, mood and long-term brain health. From whole grains and legumes to fermented foods and everyday supermarket and grocery store choices, by the end of the episode, you'll have realistic advice that's easy to put into practice today. If the food you eat today helps shape your brain tomorrow, what small change could make the biggest difference over the next year?
