How to Reverse Cognitive Decline, Grow Your Hippocampus, and Protect Your Brain from Alzheimer's Disease with Nutrition, Exercise, Sleep, and Stress Reduction Your brain is physically shrinking right now, and most people have no idea it's happening. In this episode, you will discover the exact mechanisms behind cognitive decline, why brain fog is always treatable, and the proven strategies to grow your brain back, protect your memory, and slash your Alzheimer's risk regardless of your genetics. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Majid Fotuhi, a neuroscientist and neurologist who earned his PhD from Johns Hopkins University and his medical degree from Harvard Medical School. He currently serves as an adjunct professor at the Mind/Brain Institute at Johns Hopkins while also teaching at George Washington University and Harvard Medical School. With 37 years of experience in clinical practice, teaching, and neuroscience research, Dr. Fotuhi pioneered the Brain Fitness Program, a multidisciplinary approach to cognitive performance and brain vitality at any age that has produced measurable results documented in peer-reviewed journals. He is the author of three books including the bestselling The Invincible Brain and one of the world's leading experts on neuroplasticity, hippocampus growth, and successful aging. If anyone has earned the right to tell you your brain can get better, it is him. Dr. Fotuhi and Dave break down why Alzheimer's is not a single disease but a soup of modifiable problems, why your lab results can show "normal" while your brain is starving, and how the five pillars of brain health connect directly to longevity, mitochondria function, and human performance. They also get into the brain effects of GLP-1s, the therapeutic promise of psychedelics like psilocybin and ketamine, the role of nootropics and supplements like B12, lithium orotate, and CoQ10, and why your VO2 max may be the single most important number for brain aging. . You'll Learn: Why 97% of Alzheimer's cases involve multiple modifiable causes and what to do about each one How to physically grow your hippocampus through exercise, meditation, and nutrition Why "normal" lab ranges are actively harming millions of people and what optimal actually looks like The 7 everyday things that are shrinking your brain right now How stress, loneliness, and isolation cause measurable brain atrophy Which supplements including B12, lithium orotate, CoQ10, and nootropics support long-term brain health Why VO2 max predicts brain aging better than almost any other marker What psychedelics like psilocybin and ketamine actually do to your brain according to a Johns Hopkins neurologist How the APOE4 gene affects Alzheimer's risk and why exercise can erase that risk entirely Why mitochondria health is the foundation of both brain function and longevity Thank you to our sponsors! - Viome | Check it out at viome.com and use code 10DAVE for 10% off.

Colin Lawlor, CEO of Sleep ai, is focused on exploring sleep intelligence and sleep as a vital sign of health. The Sleep ai platform measures sleep longitudinally using data from consumer wearables and smartphones, with an emphasis on night-to-night variability, which is not captured in a single-night sleep lab. Poor sleep and variation in sleep patterns have been identified as highly predictive indicators of over 130 chronic diseases and have an impact on mental well-being and the effectiveness of medical treatments. Colin explains, "What we're doing is we're measuring sleep longitudinally, over the long term, and we're measuring it from whatever device the consumer has. For some consumers or patients, it may be wearable, and there are many, many different wearables, or for others, it's simply from their phone. We have the ability to collect high-quality sleep data from everyone every day. And that's really important because when we get into this, we'll talk about why longitudinal measurement is really helpful in dealing with sleep challenges themselves, but also in seeing sleep as a window into literally everything to do with our health."   "There are several factors going on here. The first one is that globally, four billion people wake up tired almost every day. We do not have, and we will never have, a sufficient number of sleep labs to send all of them for a one-night study. And if we collect data for only one night, we're only getting one picture of how that person is sleeping. But as we all know, life gets in the way. We may have had a stressful day, or we may have had an argument with our significant other. We may be suffering from a cold."   "Whatever it is, all of these multiple factors influence sleep. So if we over-rely on one data point to understand what's going on, it's just not sufficient. So what we are finding is that, actually, the variance night to night is probably the most useful and insightful thing we can see. Because when we look at the variance across many nights, we have a much more accurate picture of what's happening with the person's sleep, and that's highly predictive of many, many other conditions, issues, and challenges."  #SleepAI #DigitalHealth #SleepAsAVitalSign #ChronicDisease #PopulationHealth #AIinHealthcare #Wearables #LongitudinalData #SleepHealth, #SleepScience  sleep.ai Download the transcript here

Bruce Lipton famously said that The Matrix is more a documentary than a movie. And that to be truly free, humans must escape the subconscious programming they have been subjected to since childhood. In this episode from the Align Podcast, Bruce Lipton explains why fear may be at the root of most modern illness, how beliefs shape biology through epigenetics, and why 95% of our lives are driven by subconscious programs. We also explore self-love, stress, healing, personal responsibility, psychedelics, consciousness, and practical ways to reprogram the mind. ALIGN PODCAST EPISODE #598 IS SPONSORED BY:

Many of the forces driving species to extinction—habitat destruction, pollution, climate change—also fuel the spread of disease. Plants and animals around the globe are facing their own little pandemics, from cancer to fungal diseases. But what if we could treat them with cutting-edge medicines? Is there something drug developers could do to help? Chemist Tim Cernak thinks so. He has been developing drugs for people for 20 years, but his patient roster has started to include sea turtles, frogs, and giant reptiles. He talks with Flora about why he's making drugs for wildlife and why more chemists should join in. Guest: Dr. Tim Cernak is an associate professor of medicinal chemistry at the University of Michigan.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Matt and Steve talk about the disease model of alcoholism—not as an excuse, but as a way to understand why alcohol affected them differently than it does other people. The conversation starts with the idea of “getting better and leaving,” and turns into a deeper look at why staying connected still matters, even after years of sobriety.They discuss personal responsibility, AA, the “built-in forgetter,” and the strange reality of still noticing alcohol in ways other people do not. The disease model may explain the problem, but it does not remove the responsibility to stay honest, stay connected, and keep helping the next person who walks in.Click here to watch the full video referenced with Charlie Sheen.  I don't have the link to the original podcast.Support the show

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky tackles a question that often surprises thyroid patients: Can Hashimoto's thyroiditis turn into Graves' disease, and can Graves' disease eventually become Hashimoto's? While these conditions are commonly viewed as opposites—one causing hypothyroidism and the other hyperthyroidism—Dr. Eric explains why the relationship between them isn't always so straightforward. Dr. Eric breaks down the differences between the thyroid antibodies associated with each condition, explains how antibody patterns can overlap, and discusses why some people test positive for both Graves' and Hashimoto's antibodies at the same time. He also explores possible reasons these transitions occur, including immune dysregulation, environmental triggers, gut health issues, nutrient deficiencies, chronic stress, infections, mold exposure, and hormonal changes. Along the way, he clarifies common misconceptions about Hashitoxicosis, “thyroid burnout,” and the importance of proper antibody testing.Most importantly, Dr. Eric emphasizes that both Graves' disease and Hashimoto's are immune system conditions rather than simply thyroid disorders. By focusing on identifying triggers, restoring immune balance, and supporting gut health, it's possible to improve symptoms, lower antibodies, and achieve long-term remission. If you want a clearer understanding of how autoimmune thyroid conditions can evolve over time—and what you can do about it—you'll get a lot out of this episode.

Have you ever wondered why your body produces symptoms like fever, inflammation, or mucus — and whether suppressing them is always the right answer? In this episode of the Science of Self-Healing, we explore Homotoxicology, a branch of bioregulatory medicine developed by German physician Dr. Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg that views illness as the body's intelligent attempt to eliminate toxins and restore balance. We walk through the Six Stages of Disease — Excretion, Reaction, Deposition, Impregnation, Degeneration, and Dedifferentiation — and explain how the body progresses from healthy acute responses toward chronic cellular dysfunction when its detoxification systems become overwhelmed. You'll come away with a deeper understanding of what your symptoms may actually be communicating, why early intervention matters, and how supporting your body's natural regulatory systems can make a profound difference in your long-term health. Whether you are navigating a chronic condition, supporting a patient, or simply curious about a more systems-based view of health and disease, this episode offers a compelling new lens through which to understand the human body.

"Insurance is there for when you're sick or when something goes incredibly wrong. It's not there for prevention."The traditional healthcare system is designed to treat you when you are sick. You go to a doctor for 15 minutes, get a basic blood panel, and if you are within the "reference range," you are told you are fine. The goal of this system is to get you from -1 back to 0.My guest this week is Prabhat Dhar, the Head of Growth for Superpower, a new platform that wants to take you from 0 to 100. Rather than treating late-stage diagnoses, Superpower provides comprehensive biomarker testing, looking at advanced metrics like ApoB, Fasting Insulin, and HSCRP, to detect diseases like cardiovascular risk or metabolic dysfunction up to a decade before they materialize as claims.In this episode, we discuss how Superpower translates complex biological data into a highly personalized, AI-driven action plan for your health (and your lifestyle).

In this episode of the Medical Matters Podcast, Dr. Peter Brier and Nurse Practitioner Kelly McCormick discuss the recent rise in cases of Ebola and Hantavirus -- the differences, symptoms, and treatments are considered.The goal of this podcast is to provide background, historical context, and explain how the viruses are taking hold. Ebola is largely active in Central and West Africa, and cases may be tracked at this website -- as for Hantavirus, cases are seen in South Africa and South America, and may also be tracked.Further, experts note that the US is likely not fully prepared to guard against an outbreak of either disease.

And what does it have to do with diseases like Alpha-gal syndrome?I keep getting messages asking what I do about ticks on my homestead, and the more I look into this topic, the stranger it gets. Farmers say tick pressure is worse than they've ever seen. Hunters are pulling shocking numbers off of deer. Families find them on their kids after a few minutes outside.Let's dive into why this feels different now, and why I don't think we're getting the full story.In this episode, I cover the Cold War-era research on ticks and other insects as vectors, the Plum Island Animal Disease Center, the 2019 Congressional amendment asking the Pentagon to investigate biological weapons used between 1950 and 1975, and the Gates Foundation funding cattle tick research.Then I share the practical side.

Self-employment isn't just a business model, it's a mental game. For a lot of entrepreneurs, the hardest part isn't strategy or execution, it's what happens in your head when doubt, anxiety, and scarcity start driving the decisions.In this episode, Whitney Lee gets real about the emotional weight of running a business solo. She breaks down how imposter syndrome shows up at every stage, why scarcity thinking is so sticky, and how self-awareness becomes a practical tool, not just a buzzword, for staying steady when things feel uncertain.Instead of pretending mindset work is about “thinking positive,” Whitney focuses on what it actually looks like to coach yourself through spirals, make clearer decisions, and stop attaching your worth to every business outcome.In This Episode, We Cover:Why imposter syndrome doesn't go away—it just changes shapeHow scarcity mindset quietly influences pricing and decisionsWhat self-coaching actually looks like in real timeThe difference between awareness and overthinkingWhy emotional resilience is part of your business strategyIf this hit home, subscribe to Brand Rescue, leave a review, and connect with Whitney Lee for more honest conversations about what it really takes to run a business without spiraling in the process.Connect with Whitney on InstagramConnect with Whitney on LinkedInYour Marketing Heroes Website

Dr. Gregg Day and Drs. Sonia Vallabh and Eric Minikel discuss scientific insights and the future of prion disease treatment, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis, personalized medicine, and hope for affected families.  Learn about the clinical trial.   Learn more about the Prion Alliance.  Show transcript:  Dr. Gregg Day: This is Gregg Day with Neurology Minute. I've just been speaking with Eric Minikel and Sonia Vallabh, a husband and wife team at the heart of the PRiSM trial, a first-in-human study of a prion protein-lowering, divalent, small-interfering RNA for patients with symptomatic prion disease. Eric and Sonia, could you provide us with a brief overview of the PRiSM trial and what this first-in-human study seeks to accomplish? Dr. Eric Minikel: The PRiSM trial is testing a short interfering RNA designed to bind the RNA that encodes the prion protein. That is the protein that causes Prion disease. We are at the heart of what causes this disease. Through doing this, we hope to make prion disease a treatable and preventable condition. We both want to stabilize symptomatic patients and prevent the disease in people who are at genetic risk. This is a personal mission for us. Sonia is a carrier of a prion disease mutation that she inherited from her mother who died of prion disease, and we, along the way, aspire to be a different kind of sponsor. We want to create our own clinical data that are shareable learnings for the entire field. Dr. Gregg Day: This is Gregg Day with Neurology Minute. Thanks for listening.

In this powerful episode of The Holistic Kids Show, Zane, Abdullah, and Kasim sit down with Dr. Jenn Simmons, MD — functional oncologist, bestselling author, Philadelphia's first fellowship-trained breast surgeon, and founder of Real Health MD — for an eye-opening conversation about cancer prevention, root causes, and how families can take back control of their health. Dr. Jenn shares her remarkable personal journey: how a cancer diagnosis of her own led her to walk away from a 20-year surgical career, seek answers beyond conventional medicine, and discover that the tumor is never the real problem — it's a symptom of deeper metabolic and lifestyle imbalances. In this episode, you'll learn: Why cancer rates are rising in younger and younger people How metabolic health (blood sugar, insulin, weight) directly fuels breast cancer risk The dangerous ingredients hiding in everyday processed foods — and why your body doesn't know what to do with them Why sunlight, movement, and sleep are non-negotiable for long-term health The 3 most powerful things any family can start doing TODAY to lower cancer risk How conventional cancer care misses the root cause — and what functional oncology does differently   Dr. Jenn's top 3 takeaways for kids and families:  Eat whole, real food — if it has more than a few ingredients you can't pronounce, leave it on the shelf Move your body throughout the day and get outside in nature Prioritize sunlight, sleep, and human connection — they are medicine Whether cancer has touched your family or you simply want to build a healthier future, this episode is packed with practical wisdom every kid and parent needs to hear.

The major Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo's northeast is not just a public health emergency in an already impoverished and violence-beset region. Armed rebellion, fragile government and a collapse in public trust are combining to make outbreaks more frequent – and fostering dangerous disinformation that makes the virus harder to fight. How dangerous is the Ebola virus? Could it spread to the rest of the world? And is America's withdrawal from global health leadership at least partly to blame for its return?

What if the story you've been told about your diagnosis… isn't the only one available to you? In this uplifting episode, I sit down with Mark Ruegg, a Stage IV pancreatic cancer thriver whose awe-inspiring journey reinforced what I know is possible when it comes to healing. I first heard about Mark after two different people told me I had to hear his story — and after listening for myself, I had to have him on the podcast. Incredibly, he credits the HEAL Documentary for inspiring a sense of hope and possibility after his diagnosis. It brings me so much JOY to know the film continues to inspire this community to take your healing and transformation into your own hands! After being told his cancer was inoperable and incurable, Mark found himself standing between two very different worlds—one rooted in fear, prognosis, and limitation… and another rooted in possibility, belief, and the body's capacity to heal. What he chose changed everything.  We talk about the moment he came across the HEAL Documentary — and how that experience, along with others who had walked this path before him, helped him borrow belief when he didn't yet have it on his own. This conversation explores the deeper layers of healing that often go unspoken — how fear can live beneath the surface even when life looks “good”… why belief may be the foundation everything else rests on… and how learning to get quiet, listen inward, and regulate the nervous system can open the door to guidance you didn't know was available. Mark shares the shifts he made across every area of his life — from the way he moved his body, to how he nourished it, to the way he thought, felt, and related to his diagnosis. We explore the power of community, environment, and emotional energy — and why healing isn't just physical, but deeply mental, emotional, and spiritual. This conversation isn't about denying reality — it's about expanding it. It's about what can happen when you stop outsourcing your power… and start actively participating in your healing. If you or someone you love is navigating a diagnosis — or simply searching for a new way to approach health, resilience, and life — this episode will open your mind to what might be possible.

Send us Fan MailDeep-dive into a 2026 cardiology review paper claiming seed oils reduce inflammation, exposing misrepresentations of cited clinical trials, and detailing how oxidized Ω-6 fats trigger inflammation.Companion article: Click HERETOPICS DISCUSSED:Seed Oil Profiles: Typical seed oils like sunflower are high in linoleic acid (omega-6 PUFA), while canola is higher in monounsaturated fats and resembles olive oil.Review Paper Critique: The 2026 JACC review falsely claims sunflower oil reduce inflammation like olive oil, citing an RCT that showed benefits only for canola and olive.RCT Analysis: In Iranian women with metabolic issues, switching to canola or olive oil lowered CRP by increasing MUFA and decreasing PUFA intake; sunflower oil produced no change.CRP Biology: CRP responds to oxidized lipids and cellular damage patterns, rising with exercise or infection and marking oxidized Ω-6 metabolites in modern diets.Oxidized Lipids: Ω-6 fats in LDL and cardiolipin oxidize easily, generating 4-HNE, MDA, and other signals that trigger immune clearance, similar to bacterial threats.Sterile Inflammation: High dietary linoleic acid causes chronic immune activation without pathogens, potentially contributing to metabolic and cardiovascular issues.PRACTICAL TAKEAWAYS:Prioritize monounsaturated fats from olive or avocado oil over high-linoleic seed oils like standard sunflower or soybean for lower oxidative stress potential.Check labels for high-oleic versions of sunflower oil, which shift the profile toward monounsaturated fats.Evaluate nutrition claims by examining original studies and fatty acid compositions rather than accepting review summaries at face value.Support the showHealth Products by M&M Partners:AquaTru: Water filtration devices that remove microplastics, metals, bacteria, and more from your drinking water.

We've been talking a lot about healthspan and longevity in our recent episodes, but how do we get there? What changes would it take in the way we practice medicine to move towards a system that helps maintain wellness instead of a system that diagnoses and manages disease? This is the fundamental challenge that our guest today and her company, Radence, are tackling. Dr. Julie Chen is the Chief Medical Officer at Radence. An integrative internal medicine physician, she and her colleagues at Radence are working to develop a data-backed model of healthcare that identifies the precursors to problems, allowing for proactive intervention and, in many cases, prevention.  As Dr. Chen says, it will take awhile to amass the data needed to show that spending these resources when a person is well ultimately results in greater health, lower spend, and better longevity, but we have to start somewhere. Dr. Chen is not just a practicing physician, but an accomplished researcher as well. Her research, at the FDA, NIH, National Cancer Institute, USC, and Mount Sinai, has shaped scientific advancement in precision medicine. As a fellowship-trained integrative internal medicine physician, she developed numerous corporate wellness programs in Silicon Valley focusing on whole-systems approach to healthcare and previously served as Chief Medical Officer at companies such as Human Longevity and Vitagene.
