Dr. David Perlmutter — neurologist, New York Times bestselling author, and author of the new book Brain Defenders — joins Dr. Will Cole to reveal what he believes is the most important breakthrough in brain health science in decades: the microglial cell. He explains why the amyloid hypothesis that has dominated Alzheimer's research (and pharmaceutical spending) for 30 years has been definitively disproven by a Cochrane analysis, why a Harvard lifestyle study arrested Alzheimer's decline in 70% of patients without any drug, and what the April 2024 NEJM GLP-1 Parkinson's trial means for the future of neurodegenerative disease. They also cover the practical daily habits, foods, supplements, and lab tests that shift the brain's immune cells from destructive to protective — and why you are far more the architect of your brain's destiny than anyone has told you.

In Health Hot Take #2, Dr. Will Cole and Andrea go deep on something generating real alarm — not just on social media, but in town halls across the country. AI data centers: what they're emitting, what they're consuming, and what they're doing to the communities around them. They also pull back the curtain on the philosophical movement driving AI acceleration — from 19th century Russian philosopher Nikolai Fyodorov to Nick Land's dark enlightenment and the documented connections to key Silicon Valley figures. Plus: the practical EMF mitigation steps everyone can take, how to help bees survive a changing world, and why this is ultimately a call to be informed, empowered, and present.
