Podcasts about protect your brain

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.

Each week, I ask my guest five questions designed to nourish their mind, body, and soul pre interview. These questions help us explore what makes each guest tick as an imperfect, evolving human, taking them out of their heads and into their bodies.While our discussions often go deep into the intellect, these questions invite my guests to step out of their comfort zones, gain a fresh perspective, and perhaps hold a bit more compassion for themselves. I believe this shift from headspace to heart space is something we can all relate to – it's the universal journey of being human.And as a listener, I hope you'll come away feeling a little more connected, not only to these stories but to the shared truths and vulnerabilities we uncover here. Each conversation is an opportunity to peek behind the scenes and share in the humanity of those on the other side of the microphone.Sixth - Professor of Clinical Psychology, Paul Gilbert Listen to the full episode ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Watch the full episode on YouTube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.***Thank you to my wonderful sponsor! VivoBarefoot | 'If you can't be barefoot, be Vivobarefoot'For 20% off, use code LWBW20www.vivobarefoot.com***If you enjoyed this episode you might also like:The #1 BETTER HEALTH Technique You Never Knew Existed!

Transcript with time code:  https://cuttingedgehealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Transcript-49-Dr-Annie-Fenn.pdf In this episode of the Cutting Edge Health: Preventing Cognitive Decline Podcast, host Jane Rogers interviews Dr. Annie Fenn, a former OBGYN who shifted careers after her mother's Alzheimer's diagnosis to focus on preventing cognitive decline through nutrition. Dr. Fenn founded the Brain Health Kitchen and now educates others about the connection between food and brain health. She discusses the MIND diet, a scientifically-backed, brain-specific adaptation of the Mediterranean diet, highlighting 10 brain-healthy food groups—such as berries, leafy greens, nuts, legumes, and olive oil—and emphasizing the need to limit processed foods, red meat, and alcohol. Think moderate drinking, especially red wine, is good for your brain? Dr. Annie Fenn challenges this long-held belief, citing groundbreaking research like the UK Biobank study. Discover the shocking truth: even moderate alcohol consumption (defined as 1 drink/day for women, 2 for men) can shrink your brain faster. Learn why this level is too much for healthy brain aging and why those with cognitive concerns should avoid alcohol altogether. Rethink your drink for better brain health! ***** ANNIE FENN is a physician, chef, and author of The Brain Health Kitchen: Preventing Alzheimer's Through Food (Artisan 2023), a science-based cookbook and care manual for the brain. She founded the Brain Health Kitchen, the only cooking school focused exclusively on helping people prevent cognitive decline through food and lifestyle. After twenty years as a board-certified ob-gyn, she traded in her stethoscope for an apron to pursue her passion for the culinary arts. But it was her mother's diagnosis with dementia that helped Fenn find her path and her new calling, one that enabled her to not only help her mother but also create significant and meaningful impact for others. Dr. Fenn hosts Brain Health Retreats in Italy, Mexico, and Costa Rica. She writes Brain Health Kitchen, a twice-weekly newsletter on Substack to a large community of food-loving brain health enthusiasts, where she provides cooking classes, in-depth lifestyle guides, and recipes. Dr. Fenn is an adjunct faculty member at the University of Cincinnati and Harvard University, where she lectures young adults and medical students about brain health. Fenn lives in Jackson, Wyoming, where she enjoys skiing, cycling, foraging for mushrooms and berries, and exploring the Teton mountains with her husband and dogs. ***** Cutting Edge Health podcast website: https://cuttingedgehealth.com/   Cutting Edge Health Social and YouTube: YouTube channel: youtube.com/@cuttingedgehealthpodcast   Instagram - https://instagram.com/cuttingedgehealthpodcast Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Cutting-Edge-Health-Podcast-with-Jane-Rogers-101036902255756   Please note that the information provided in this show is not medical advice, nor should it be taken or applied as a replacement for medical advice.

Is the air you breathe affecting your brain? If you're familiar with the ten keys to a healthy brain, you know that one of the keys is clean environment. Part of that environment is the quality of the air you breathe. You can go weeks without eating, days without water, but you can only go minutes without breathing. Clean air is essential to not just your overall health, but your quality of life. I'm excited to welcome Peter Spiegel to the show today. Peter is the founder and CEO of Ideal Living, a wellness company democratizing quality. His life's purpose has been to enhance the lives of others and help them thrive. By sharing science-backed products, he seeks to ensure everyone has access to clean air and pure water. You want your home to be a sanctuary, but according to the EPA, indoor air can be anywhere from 5 to 100 times more polluted than outdoor air. Things like perfume, candles, and mold can harm your overall quality of life as the most dangerous particles to the human brain are very, very small. If you want to learn how to manage indoor air quality for your overall well-being, this episode is for you.
