Join Dr. Sandra Cammarata and Dr. Giovanni Campanile as they speak with Dr. Christin Glorioso, an MIT-trained neuroscientist, physician, entrepreneur, and pioneer in the study of human brain aging. Dr. Glorioso is the co-founder and CEO of NeuroAge Therapeutics, where she combines neuroscience, genetics, biomarkers, and advanced technology to better understand how the brain ages and what we may be able to do about it.

For Dr. Glorioso, the science of longevity is also personal. After seeing Alzheimer's disease affect multiple generations of her family and learning about her own genetic risk, she became determined to better understand the aging process within the brain. That pursuit eventually led her to use herself as what she calls "guinea pig number one," tracking her own brain health while developing the comprehensive testing approach behind NeuroAge.

In this episode, Dr. Glorioso explores how changes in the brain can begin years before noticeable cognitive symptoms appear and why understanding those changes earlier could create new opportunities to protect long-term brain health. She discusses the importance of the hippocampus and memory, genetic risk factors such as APOE4, and how MRI imaging, blood biomarkers, cognitive testing, and other measurements can provide a more complete picture of how an individual's brain is aging.

The conversation also looks at what we can potentially do with that information. Dr. Glorioso discusses research surrounding exercise and hippocampal volume, along with the roles of nutrition, sleep, physical activity, social connection, and other lifestyle factors in supporting cognitive health.

Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of the emerging science of biological brain age, the difference between genetic risk and destiny, and how a more personalized and proactive approach may help us better understand and care for our brains throughout the aging process.

Join Dr. Sandra Cammarata and Dr. Giovanni Campanile as they speak with Dr. Michael Greger, physician, internationally recognized speaker on nutrition, founder of NutritionFacts.org, and bestselling author of How Not to Die, How Not to Diet, and How Not to Age. A founding member and Fellow of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, Dr. Greger has dedicated his career to translating the latest nutrition research into practical information that can help people live healthier lives.

Inspired by his grandmother's remarkable recovery from end stage heart disease after adopting major lifestyle changes, Dr. Greger shares how that experience ultimately led him to medicine and a career devoted to nutrition and lifestyle. He discusses the evidence supporting a diet centered around whole plant foods and explains how nutrition can influence cholesterol, cardiovascular health, chronic disease, mental health, the microbiome, and longevity.

In this episode, Dr. Greger discusses:

• How even modest dietary and lifestyle changes can influence long term health

• The role of whole plant foods in lowering LDL cholesterol and reducing cardiovascular risk

• Protein intake, fasting, and what longevity research actually suggests about how much protein we need

• How diet may influence mood, depression, and mental health

• Why eating a greater variety of plants can support a healthier and more diverse gut microbiome

• How to separate evidence based nutrition science from conflicting health advice online

Dr. Greger also takes listeners inside his own routine, including his Daily Dozen approach, batch cooking, whole grains, legumes, greens, and the diverse plant foods he uses to support his health and microbiome.

Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of how everyday food choices can influence some of the leading causes of chronic disease, and why Dr. Greger believes nutrition remains one of the most powerful tools available for improving health and longevity.

Join Dr. Sandra Cammarata and Dr. Giovanni Campanile as they speak with Dr. Thomas M. Campbell II, Assistant Professor of Family Medicine at the University of Rochester Medical Center, founder and co-director of the UR Medicine Nutrition in Medicine Research Center, board-certified family physician, obesity medicine specialist, and coauthor of the international bestseller The China Study.

Drawing from decades of experience in nutrition research, clinical practice, and lifestyle medicine, Dr. Campbell shares his unique journey from studying theater and pursuing a career in acting to helping bring one of the world's most influential nutrition books to life alongside his father, Dr. T. Colin Campbell. He reflects on the scientific discoveries that challenged conventional thinking about diet and health, and how those findings continue to shape his work with patients today.

In this episode, Dr. Campbell discusses:

• The story behind The China Study and its lasting impact on nutrition science
• What the evidence says about whole food, plant-based nutrition
• How lifestyle medicine can prevent and treat chronic disease
• Practical ways to help patients adopt lasting dietary change
• Why nutrition deserves a central role in modern healthcare

Blending scientific evidence with years of clinical experience, Dr. Campbell offers a thoughtful perspective on how nutrition can be one of the most powerful tools for improving health, preventing disease, and helping people live longer, healthier lives.

Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of the research behind plant-based nutrition and how simple, evidence-based lifestyle changes can make a meaningful difference in long-term health.
