Could the silver fillings in your mouth be damaging your brain? In today’s episode, I interview Anita Vazquez-Tibau, an international advocate and researcher dedicated to ending the global use of toxic mercury in dentistry. Together, we dive into the shocking truth about dental amalgam fillings, which contain up to 54% mercury, a known neurotoxin. I was astounded to learn that despite the risks, the American Dental Association still claims that these fillings are safe. Anita explains how mercury not only poses a risk to your brain health but can also lead to neurodegeneration, including Alzheimer’s. We also discuss the global fight against mercury dental fillings, the Minamata Convention, and what you can do to protect your health if you have mercury fillings. If you or someone you love is dealing with cognitive decline, this episode could be an eye-opener. “The key is to have a good biological dentist who knows how to do oral surgery. Clean out everything and just say: Stop there. I don’t want an implant. I would like a removable appliance.” ~ Anita Vazquez -Tibau (How to Protect Yourself from Toxic Dental Implants) In this Episode 00:00 - Introduction to Anita Vazquez -Tibau 04:42 - Why the ADA still claims mercury fillings are safe 07:32 - The Minamata Convention and mercury regulation 20:19 - Mercury connection in Alzheimer’s and neurodegeneration 28:33 - The dangers of some dental procedures 38:42 - Detoxification, biocompatibility testing, and safe removal of mercury fillings 50:52 - Other sources of mercury that we may not be aware of 59:42 - Early signs of mercury exposure 1:04:31 - Why some industries still use mercury despite the risks 1:08:03 - The risks of getting titanium implants 1:13:32 - What to do next if you have mercury implants Resources: - Top Supplements for Alzheimer's Guide - https://bit.ly/drjoshguide Mentioned in this episode: - This is an extremely important video on mercury and brain neurodegeneration - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XU8nSn5Ezd8 - The Smoking Tooth video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0QJWqtl6AI - Citizen Petition - https://www.regulations.gov/document/FDA-2025-P-2526-0001 - ANITA’s UNITED NATIONS CLOSING REMARKS MINAMATA CONVENTION COP6 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImoXCCAapXo - Book link, CHEW ON THIS - https://www.amazon.com/Chew-this-but-dont-swallow/dp/B09PZR2TQK/ Connect with Anita Vazquez -Tibau: - LinkedIn - a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-vazquez-tibau-6a85633/" rel="noopener noreferrer"...

Alzheimer’s doesn’t begin with sudden memory loss. It begins decades earlier with systemic breakdowns that modern medicine continues to miss. And by the time someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, the damage seems full-blown. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Brad Younggren to discuss why Alzheimer’s is less a mystery of missing science and more a failure of how our healthcare system is designed. We explore therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) and why removing harmful inflammatory proteins, immune antibodies, plastics, and toxic exposures from the bloodstream may represent a powerful new frontier in brain health, longevity, and chronic disease care. Dr. Younggren shares how this decades-old hospital procedure is being safely re-engineered for outpatient use and why it’s showing promise for dementia, autoimmune illness, and accelerated aging. We also discuss why the exposome, the total toxic burden from plastics, heavy metals, mold, and environmental chemicals, plays a far bigger role in cognitive decline than most people realize. From immune modulation to biological age reversal, this conversation challenges the idea that Alzheimer’s is inevitable or untreatable. If you care about preventing cognitive decline, extending brain healthspan, and understanding why the medical system often fails Alzheimer's patients, this episode opens your eyes to what’s possible.

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 Delgado In this Episode 00:00 - Introduction to Dr. Nick Delgado and his work 04:40 - Early work with nutritionist and longevity researcher Nathan Pritikin 09:15 - Dr. Kempner's high-carb, low-fat diet for cognitive protection 13:07 - Insights from a lifestyle medicine pioneer 27:21 - Why the brain does not need high dietary fat 31:05 - The diet that best prevents brain degeneration 38:57 - Case study: reversing Stage 4 Alzheimer’s with multimodal care 51:37 - Synergy vs. single interventions in neurodegeneration 1:07:50 - The impact of stem cells in neuroregeneration 1:14:46 - New technologies Dr. Delgado is excited about 1:18:51 - Key takeaways from today's conversation Resources: - 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-plan Connect 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 - a href="https://web.facebook.com/people/Dr-Josh-Helman/61558380891088" rel="noopener...

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 Acker In this Episode 00:00 - Introduction to Dr. Leah Acker 07:58 - Post-operative delirium and dementia connection 11:08 - Heart health and its impact on inflammation and healing 14:51 - How long does anesthesia stay in the body? 19:36 - Pre-operative preparation to minimize the stress of surgery 23:19 - EEG, alpha waves, and what they reveal about brain health 27:31 - Surgery as a stress test for the brain 33:27 - Tips for patients who have just had a major surgery 44:06 - Biomarkers to determine brain function and Alzheimer's risk 47:23 - What makes the brain respond well to stress? 53:03 - The future of brain research and personalized patient care Resources: - Top Supplements for Alzheimer's Guide - https://bit.ly/drjoshguide Connect with Dr. Leah Acker:  - Website - ackerlab.com - Email - [email protected] Connect with Dr. Josh Helman, MD: - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/greenbrainsMD - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/greenbrainsmd/ - LinkedIn - a...
