Dr. Murray is one of the recent winners of the Rainwater Prize for Outstanding Innovation in Neurodegenerative Research, which came with a $400,000 prize to further her and her colleague Dr. Dennis Dickson's research at Mayo Clinic.

The Rainwater Prize honors scientific contributions to the field of neurodegenerative research that focus on diseases associated with the accumulation of tau protein in the brain, with the goal of translating discoveries into meaningful therapeutic and diagnostic innovations.

Today’s discussion tackles a critical issue in brain health: treating Alzheimer’s like it’s a single disease. With advances in neuroimaging and biomarkers, we can now diagnose Alzheimer’s while people are still alive, which is a huge step forward from the past. Dr. Murray also highlights how brain donation is helping researchers like her gain deeper insights into the causes and progression of Alzheimer’s.

“We can't help our genetics. We're blessed with what we were given, but we also get to play that deck of cards that we're handed, and we have a chance to make a difference.”

Dr. Been outlines the core methods: classic plasma exchange, immunoadsorption, and other extracorporeal options. We discuss the proposed “reset” effect, including reducing inflammatory mediators, autoantibodies, and abnormal clotting signals that may keep the body stuck in a vicious cycle.

We review a sham-controlled randomized trial that found TPE to be safe but ineffective in that cohort, and discuss why a single intervention may help only a subset, if at all.

If you want a clear, mechanism-first explanation without the hype, this conversation is for you. Share it with someone experiencing brain fog or fatigue, and subscribe for more evidence-based brain health deep dives.

“Normally, the body is very efficient in removing extraneous harmful substances. When the body is unable to remove them because they are difficult to remove (like beta-pleated fiber sheets) and they are being produced a lot, we need to give the body a break. So we clean out the plasma.”

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.

I explain what we currently know about spike proteins and what safe, physician-guided detoxification actually looks like. We explore glutathione as a foundational detox molecule, why overaggressively breaking down biofilms can backfire, and how lifestyle interventions can improve brain resilience even when damage has already occurred.

This episode also dives into parasites, heavy metals, mold toxins, and how to separate legitimate detox science from marketing hype. I answer practical questions about fasting, antioxidants, supplements, affordability, and what truly moves the needle for protecting your brain long term.

Most importantly, I want you to leave this conversation with hope. There is no single magic fix—but there is a powerful toolbox that can improve brain health, slow decline, and in many cases, support meaningful recovery.

“You do not need lots of expensive boutique tests and exotic supplements to meaningfully protect your brain. Diet, exercise, cognitive training, and vascular risk management using low-tech components definitely improve cognition.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

In this episode, I sit down with my friend and colleague, neuroscientist Dr. Robert Love, to break down the most important and most overlooked steps you can take to prevent, slow, and even reverse cognitive decline. Together, we share real stories from our clinic, where we help patients improve memory and quality of life using strategies far beyond the standard “there’s nothing you can do” message most families hear.

You’ll hear Robert explain the science behind stem cells, cerebrolysin, hydrogen gas therapy, sauna, exercise, and key supplements like NMN, including where they truly fit into an Alzheimer’s prevention plan. We also unpack the political and pharmaceutical roadblocks that keep many of these tools out of mainstream healthcare, and why staying informed is your most powerful form of prevention.

By the end of this conversation, you’ll walk away with actionable steps you can start today, like lowering inflammation, improving mitochondrial function, and creating a brain-healthy environment that supports long-term resilience. If you or someone you love is experiencing cognitive issues, this episode offers both clarity and hope.
