    How to Make Your Brain Ageless: Prevent Cognitive Decline & Supercharge Your Mind - with Dale Bredesen | EP 197

    🧠 Stay ahead with the latest in science, nutrition, and wellness by subscribing to Dr. Perlmutter’s newsletter at: www.drperlmutter.com The idea that we can live however we want and then rely on a magic treatment for cognitive issues is unrealistic and dangerous. The reality is that our daily choices profoundly impact our brain’s future, and once cognitive decline begins, there is no clear-cut pharmaceutical solution. I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Dale Bredesen, whose book The Ageless Brain is an incredible resource for protecting brain health. He has pioneered a comprehensive approach to preventing and even reversing cognitive decline. This book offers a powerful blueprint not only for sharpening your mind but also for building resilience against neurodegenerative diseases. In The Ageless Brain, Dr. Bredesen distills decades of research into actionable steps. He explores key lifestyle factors—nutrition, sleep, exercise, stress management, and supplementation—that influence cognitive performance and long-term brain resilience. What’s exciting is his proactive, personalized approach. Rather than waiting for symptoms to appear, Dr. Bredesen shows us how to build a brain that resists aging from the start. Today, we’ll unpack some of the most impactful strategies from his book, discuss major breakthroughs in neuroscience, and explore how we can all take charge of our cognitive health. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to maintain lifelong clarity and vitality, you won’t want to miss this conversation. Dale Bredesen, MD, is an internationally recognized neurologist specializing in neurodegenerative diseases. He is the Senior Director of Precision Brain Health at Pacific Neuroscience Institute® and the Chief Scientific Officer at Apollo Health.

    Treating Alzheimer’s with Light and Sound - with Christian Howell | EP 193

    🧠 Stay ahead with the latest in science, nutrition, and wellness by subscribing to Dr. Perlmutter’s newsletter at: www.drperlmutter.com. ✉️🌱Over the last several decades, it’s been interesting to watch the progression of ideas for treating Alzheimer’s change from focusing on brain chemistry to targeting the accumulation of proteins in the brain associated with the disease. Recently, there’s been exciting interest in studying how the brain’s electrical circuits and rhythms change in Alzheimer’s and other brain degenerative disorders.The human brain operates in rhythms, with gamma frequencies playing a critical role in cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and learning. In neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, these gamma oscillations are disrupted, contributing to the accumulation of harmful proteins such as amyloid-beta and tau. Cognito Therapeutics has developed a pioneering approach using non-invasive light and sound stimulation to restore these rhythms and trigger natural mechanisms for clearing these toxic proteins.In preclinical and early clinical trials, this method has demonstrated remarkable potential. By stimulating gamma oscillations, the therapy has shown the ability to reduce inflammation, enhance synaptic function, and activate microglia—immune cells responsible for clearing debris and maintaining brain health. For families battling cognitive decline, these results offer hope for improving quality of life and potentially slowing disease progression. Cognito’s research focuses on safety, accessibility, and scalability. Unlike pharmaceutical interventions, this approach avoids invasive procedures or systemic side effects, making it an attractive alternative or complementary treatment for Alzheimer’s.As the company advances its clinical trials, the implications extend far beyond Alzheimer’s. Cognito’s technology could pave the way for treatments for neurological conditions like Parkinson’s, MS, and traumatic brain injury.On our podcast today, we are joined by Christian Howell, CEO of Cognito Therapeutics. Howell is committed to advancing the understanding of brain health and delivering groundbreaking therapeutic solutions to improve patient outcomes. Under his leadership, Cognito Therapeutics has made significant strides in the development of gamma-frequency neuromodulation technologies, leveraging light and sound stimulation to address the mechanisms of Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative disorders. Howell is a strong advocate for translating cutting-edge research into real-world applications and has spearheaded the company’s efforts to validate its therapies through rigorous scientific studies and clinical trials.Howell holds advanced degrees in neuroscience and bioengineering and has dedicated his career to bridging the gap between scientific discovery and patient care. His work reflects a commitment to improving the lives of individuals and families impacted by cognitive decline and to shaping the future of brain health through innovation and collaboration.====00:00 Introduction00:59 Optogenetic Light & SoundTherapy 11:28 Innovations in Light and Sound Therapy at 40Hz Interval; Generating Neuroplasticity17:48 Rethinking Alzheimer’s Treatment and Gamma Wave Stimulation’s Impact on Proteins20:43 Overview of Cognito Therapeutics at Home Device25:30 Usage for Therapeutic, Preventative, and Performance Enhancement. 28:37 Disease States: Dysregulation of Microglia; Long Covid, Chemo Brain, Sepsis 30:45: Breakthrough Designation from FDA For the Device38:07 FDA Approval, Distribution, and Insurance Approval; Economic Burdens of Alzheimer’s 44:30 Closing Insights on Revolutionary Therapies====Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidperlmutter/Website: https://www.drperlmutter.com/Subscribe to our channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDRl_UAXxbHyOOjklnA0dxQ/?sub_confirmation=1

    Hyperbaric Medicine Revolution: Long COVID Relief & PTSD Discoveries - with Dr. Amir Hadanny | EP 190

    🧠 Stay ahead with the latest in science, nutrition, and wellness by subscribing to Dr. Perlmutter’s newsletter at: www.drperlmutter.com. ✉️🌱 What makes a good brain go bad? And if we can answer that question, how do we fix it? Of all the things that we consider that are important for brain cell function, the activity of the mitochondria is primary. And, what do mitochondria need to function at their best? The answer is not a supplement. It's not other forms of nutrients, it is oxygen. And as it turns out, enhancing, the oxygen availability for mitochondria is a powerful therapeutic tool across a wide variety of neurological issues. Mitochondrial dysfunction is central to things like dementia, autism, stroke, head injury, and even long COVID. Hyperbaric oxygen is a clearly the most leading edge therapy that targets mitochondrial function and improves blood supply to the brain. This is a technique in which individuals are placed in a chamber, the atmospheric pressure is increased, and they breathe oxygen in varying concentrations through a facemask. Today we are going to visit the Aviv Clinic in central Florida as I am joined by Amir Hadanny, MD, PhD, Aviv’s Chief Medical Officer and Head of Research. Dr. Hadanny has done and continues to do incredible research using hyperbaric oxygen therapy as an interventional tool to treat a variety of issues, including those mentioned above. The results, that are published in preview journals, are outstanding. Clearly hyperbaric oxygen therapy, when provided with a regimented protocol as we see at the Aviv Clinic, is giving people, a second chance. ==== 00:00 Intro 00:01:28 The Evolution of Hyperbaric Medicine Research 00:03:00 Clinical Applications: PTSD and Long COVID 00:05:30 Inside the Aviv Clinics Experience 00:09:22 Long COVID Study: Research Design and Findings 00:33:40 Cognitive and Physical Benefits in Healthy Aging 00:37:28 PTSD Breakthrough Study and Government Adoption 00:43:47 Future of Hyperbaric Medicine 00:45:50 Closing Remarks and Future Prospects ==== Amir Hadanny, MD, PhD is a neurosurgeon and researcher at Aviv Clinics, specializing in the use of hyperbaric medicine to optimize brain and body performance.
