What if Alzheimer's disease could be detected 20 years before symptoms appear — and potentially slowed or reversed? 🧠

In this episode, I speak with Dave Jenkins, a practitioner using the Bredesen Protocol, who joins the show from his cognitive wellness retreat in Bali.

We explore new research and emerging therapies that could reshape how we understand Alzheimer's Disease, early detection, and brain health.

In This Episode:

✔ The latest research on the Bredesen Protocol and how it compares with amyloid-targeting drugs like Lecanemab
✔ pTau217 — a blood biomarker that may detect Alzheimer's decades before symptoms appear
✔ The science behind the Klotho protein and its potential role in brain health and longevity
✔ Why prevention and metabolic health may be key factors in cognitive decline
✔ The future of research into neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's Disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

The Big Idea:

Alzheimer's may begin decades before memory loss appears, but advances in biomarkers, lifestyle interventions, and emerging therapies could open new possibilities for prevention and cognitive restoration.

If you're interested in brain health, longevity science, dementia prevention, and cutting-edge medical research, this conversation is packed with insights.

What if a 5-minute test could predict whether a $50,000 drug will work for you—with up to 90% accuracy? 🤯

In this episode, I sit down with rheumatologist and biotech CEO Andrew Holman, founder of InMedix, to explore how measurable stress directly affects your immune system—and why it may determine whether certain medical treatments work or fail.

This conversation goes far beyond the usual "manage your stress" advice. We dive into the science of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and how the autonomic nervous system regulates immune function moment by moment.

What You'll Learn:

✔ Why wearable devices like Oura Ring and WHOOP Strap don't tell the full HRV story
✔ The surprising connection between Sleep Apnea and Rheumatoid Arthritis
✔ How stress can influence immune responses in milliseconds
✔ A breakthrough FDA-cleared test designed to measure both branches of the autonomic nervous system
✔ Why this technology could potentially save $34 billion in healthcare costs over the next decade

The Big Idea:

Stress isn't just psychological—it's measurable biology. Understanding how your autonomic nervous system functions may help explain why some treatments succeed while others fail, especially in autoimmune diseases and chronic health conditions.

If you're interested in immune health, biohacking, wearable tech, or the science of stress, this episode will change how you think about your body's stress response.

ADHD diagnoses have risen from 4% to 11% of the population — and the fastest-growing group receiving stimulant prescriptions? Adults over 70.

In this episode, psychiatrist and addiction specialist Dr. Susan Blank joins us to unpack the real risks, benefits, and misconceptions surrounding ADHD medications. This is a conversation every parent, educator, healthcare professional, and adult considering treatment should hear.

We discuss:

➡️Why ADHD prescriptions are increasingly written via telehealth — and what that means
➡️The real risks of stimulant medications, including psychosis and hospitalization
➡️ How these drugs actually work in the brain
➡️ The difference between ADD and ADHD
➡️Why ADHD may not be something you simply "grow out of"
➡️ Non-stimulant alternatives like Strattera and Wellbutrin
➡️Whether some ADHD diagnoses may be misidentified learning or environmental issues
➡️The evolutionary perspective on ADHD traits

"These are not benign drugs. They should be carefully, carefully taken." — Dr. Susan Blank

This episode is not about fear. It's about informed decision-making when it comes to powerful medications that affect both developing and adult brains.

If you or someone you love:
• Has been diagnosed with ADHD
• Is considering medication
• Takes stimulants regularly
• Works in education or healthcare
• Has a child struggling in traditional school systems

This conversation could change how you think about treatment.

Listen now and decide for yourself.
