Alzheimer’s Breakthrough with Dr. Josh Helman, MD

Could hidden dangers in your home be impacting your brain health? In this eye-opening conversation, discover how mold and mycotoxins might be contributing to cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease.I interview John Bohde, co-founder and VP of The Mold Pros, to discuss the shocking connection between mold exposure, mycotoxins, and cognitive decline. John explains how mold can contribute to dementia and brain fog, often in ways we don't immediately recognize.As a leader in the mold inspection and remediation industry, John highlights environmental triggers that can be overlooked, even in homes that appear clean and well-maintained. We talk about how mold can release mycotoxins into the air and what that means for your health.John shares recommendations for identifying hidden mold and mycotoxins in your environment, emphasizing the importance of a proper moisture assessment and advanced testing for those dealing with chronic illness or dementia. Plus, we discuss how the remediation process has evolved and how you can protect yourself from environmental illness.“Everybody thinks, oh, my house is fine. I'm a great housekeeper, and therefore I don't have a problem. One, it oftentimes has nothing to do with how well you keep your home. It's really around how much moisture is in that environment. Second, mold spores are microscopic–you just can't see them.” ~ John BohdeIn this Episode00:00 - Introduction to John Bohde02:20 - Understanding type 3 Alzheimer’s (toxicity-related)12:37- The Mold Pros process for mold remediation17:58 - Why some traditional mold remediation methods do not work22:23 - The challenges of treating mold toxicity in patients and structures30:09 - How to find a reliable mold inspector44:08 - The importance of proper protective gear for mold remediators50:15 - What to do when you're worried about mold🎧 Podcast Listener Bonus: The Mold Pros are offering a FREE 30-minute consultation exclusively for podcast listeners.

What if the fastest way to improve your brain isn’t just one treatment but three powerful levers working together to reverse cognitive decline? In this episode, I interview Dr. Nick Delgado, a pioneer in hormone optimization, inflammation control, peptide therapy, and lifestyle medicine, to explore what he calls the fastest levers for transforming brain health. We break down how nutrition, hormone balance, and targeted peptides can rapidly shift cognition, reduce inflammation, and support the aging brain. Dr. Delgado shares stories from over 45 years of clinical experience, including remarkable cases of patients with advanced Alzheimer’s who showed unexpected improvements after strategic interventions. We discuss the roles of triglycerides, dietary fat, cholesterol, and plant-based nutrition in maintaining blood flow to the brain. We also dive into hormone restoration–testosterone, DHEA, pregnenolone, estriol, progesterone–and how these influence cognition, mood, and neuroprotection. Dr. Delgado explains how each tool can support brain regeneration when used thoughtfully and synergistically. “Alzheimer's and cognition and so forth, is not only a hormonal decline. It's an arterial problem, it's a lack of circulation, so you want to figure out every way to bring massive amounts of blood flow to that brain.” ~ Dr. Nick DelgadoIn this Episode00:00 - Introduction to Dr. Nick Delgado and his work04:40 - Early work with nutritionist and longevity researcher Nathan Pritikin 09:15 - Dr. Kempner's high-carb, low-fat diet for cognitive protection13:07 - Insights from a lifestyle medicine pioneer27:21 - Why the brain does not need high dietary fat31:05 - The diet that best prevents brain degeneration38:57 - Case study: reversing Stage 4 Alzheimer’s with multimodal care51:37 - Synergy vs. single interventions in neurodegeneration1:07:50 - The impact of stem cells in neuroregeneration1:14:46 - New technologies Dr. Delgado is excited about1:18:51 - Key takeaways from today's conversationResources:- Top Supplements for Alzheimer's Guide - https://bit.ly/drjoshguide- Stop Aging Now: Seven Secrets to Look & Feel Great by Dr. Nick Delgado - https://stopagingnowbook.com/- Brain Fitness by Dr. Robert Goldman - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0385488645- The Pritikin Diet & Eating Plan - https://www.pritikin.com/pritikin-program#eating-planConnect with Dr. Nick Delgado: - Website - https://foreveryoungevent.com/ and https://delgadolabs.com/- The Delgado Protocol for Health - https://delgadoprotocol.com/Connect with Dr. Josh Helman, MD:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/greenbrainsMD-

Why do some people stay mentally sharp after surgery while others decline even when their brains look identical on scans?In this episode, I explore one of the biggest mysteries in brain health: why two people with the same MRI, the same amyloid burden, and the same risk factors can age so differently. My guest, Dr. Leah Acker, a Harvard-MIT–trained physician-scientist and Duke anesthesiologist, studies the hidden rules of brain resilience and what stress reveals about cognitive decline. As we talk, Dr. Acker explains how surgery acts as a “stress test for the brain,” exposing vulnerabilities years before symptoms show up. We break down the links between anesthesia, delirium, sleep, heart rate variability, inflammation, and early neurodegeneration, and why postoperative delirium can increase dementia risk up to 12-fold. She also explains why simple EEG changes can predict who is most vulnerable during stress. We also dive into the future of brain science—from personalized anesthesia to breakthroughs in functional MRI and new Alzheimer’s biomarkers. If you or a loved one is facing surgery, or if you want to understand how the aging brain really works, this episode is essential. Tune in to learn how to prepare, protect your brain, and build long-term cognitive resilience.“ I tend to think of surgery and anesthesia as a stress test for the brain. It's an emotionally stressful event in general…On top of that, there's a lot of physiological stress that comes with surgery.” ~ Dr. Leah AckerIn this Episode00:00 - Introduction to Dr. Leah Acker07:58 - Post-operative delirium and dementia connection11:08 - Heart health and its impact on inflammation and healing14:51 - How long does anesthesia stay in the body?19:36 - Pre-operative preparation to minimize the stress of surgery23:19 - EEG, alpha waves, and what they reveal about brain health27:31 - Surgery as a stress test for the brain33:27 - Tips for patients who have just had a major surgery44:06 - Biomarkers to determine brain function and Alzheimer's risk47:23 - What makes the brain respond well to stress?53:03 - The future of brain research and personalized patient careResources:- Top Supplements for Alzheimer's Guide - https://bit.ly/drjoshguideConnect with Dr. Leah Acker: - Website - ackerlab.com- Email - ackerlabinfo@duke.eduConnect with Dr. Josh Helman, MD:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/greenbrainsMD- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/greenbrainsmd/- LinkedIn - a...

What if the key to reversing Alzheimer’s lies not just in the brain, but in the connection between your gut, immune system, and neurological health?In this episode, Dr. Peter Kan, a triple-board certified specialist in Integrative Medicine, Functional Medicine, and Chiropractic Neurology, joins me to discuss a crucial approach to treating brain health through the brain-immune-gut connection. Instead of just diagnosing and treating symptoms, Dr. Kan focuses on finding the root causes of neurological disorders, particularly Alzheimer’s and dementia, to implement proactive, personalized treatments.Dr. Kan shares how the right approach, through diet, lifestyle, and gut health, can slow or even reverse neurological decline. He also emphasizes the importance of early detection and the use of neuro-metabolic integration in treating cognitive disorders. His holistic philosophy encourages patients to take control of their brain health before it’s too late. Listen in for actionable insights that could change how you approach Alzheimer’s prevention.“I don't need to know your diagnosis to help you. I just need to know what you are presenting with, and what's driving those symptoms on a neurological or cellular level. And then we can start to do something to see if we can make a change.” ~ Dr. Peter KanIn this Episode01:39 - Limitations of traditional neurology vs. functional neurology09:05 - Dr. Kan's process for helping dementia patients16:18 - The brain-immune-gut connection and why it's critical for brain health22:27 - Personalized care and streamlining the course of treatment23:58 - Importance of neurotransmitter balance for brain function28:17 - The connection between blood sugar and brain health32:34 - Impact of nutrition and exercise on the brain40:19 - Neuroplasticity: the brain’s ability to heal with the right tools42:09 - Exploring vagus nerve stimulation for treating chronic conditions44:13 - Top three takeaways from the episodeResources:- Top Supplements for Alzheimer's Guide - https://bit.ly/drjoshguideConnect with Dr. Peter Kan: - Website - https://askdrkan.com/- YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@DrPeterKanConnect with Dr. Josh Helman, MD:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/greenbrainsMD- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/greenbrainsmd/- LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/doctorjosh-

Could spike protein be the hidden culprit behind brain fog, cognitive decline, and even Alzheimer's disease? Dr. Mobeen Syed (also called Dr. Mobeen or DrBeen) joins me to discuss the concerning persistence of the spike protein in the body and its potential to accelerate the progression of neurodegenerative conditions.In this thought-provoking conversation, you'll learn about the latest studies revealing the impact of the spike protein on brain health and Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Mobeen discusses how it lingers in the body long after infection or vaccination, potentially causing long-term damage. We’ll explore the mechanisms by which the spike protein enters the brain, disrupts the blood-brain barrier, and leads to inflammation and cognitive decline.If you’re concerned about Alzheimer's or want to understand how to protect your brain, don't miss this episode.
