Episode 11: How to Prevent and Reverse Alzheimer’s: A Whole-Body Medical Perspective

This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about memory, brain fog, or dementia—whether you're a patient, caregiver, or clinician. There is hope, and science is catching up.

In this powerful conversation, Harvard- and MIT-trained physician Dr. Joshua Helman joins Dr. Eleanor Stein to discuss groundbreaking research and clinical experience showing that Alzheimer’s and dementia can be slowed, stopped, and even reversed. Drawing from over 100 cases and AI-analyzed root causes, Dr. Helman explains why lifestyle changes—not a single drug—are the most effective path forward.  

Learn why deep sleep, not just sleep, is essential for clearing amyloid plaques, how processed foods and chronic inflammation damage the brain, and why toxins like mold, heavy metals, and petrochemicals must be addressed in cognitive care. Dr. Helman shares the latest tools, tests, and treatments—from fasting and brain scans to galectin-3 inhibitors and plasma exchange—all grounded in science.
