    Can old brain cells be made biologically younger again? In Episode #87 of Alzheimer's Breakthrough, host Dr. Josh Helman, MD is joined by Dr. Sam Perli, PhD, a former MIT presidential fellow, early CRISPR pioneer, and postdoctoral fellow with Nobel laureate Shinya Yamanaka.

    In this deep dive, Dr. Perli shares his personal journey from AI and computer science into biological engineering, the revolutionary power of CRISPR, and how cellular reprogramming factors can turn back the biological clock on aging neurons. Together, they explore why treating Alzheimer's requires moving beyond single-target amyloid plaque therapies toward a holistic, multi-pronged approach that includes neurogenesis, anti-inflammation, therapeutic peptides, and gut-brain microbiome health.

    What happens to the brain when it gets hit with multiple environmental and biological toxins at the same time? In Episode #86 of Alzheimer's Breakthrough, host Dr. Josh Helman, MD welcomes back Dr. Mobeen Syed, MD (Dr. Been) to discuss how mold toxins, bacterial endotoxins (LPS), and viral spike proteins interact to accelerate memory loss and cognitive decline.

    Dr. Mobeen and Dr. Josh examine the multi-hit model of neurodegeneration, detailing how initial exposures to mycotoxins (such as Ochratoxin A) or bacterial LPS prime the brain's innate immune cells—microglia. This priming alters cellular metabolism and programs microglia for hyper-reactive inflammation. When a subsequent trigger like the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein occurs, it can spark severe dysregulated inflammation, synaptic pruning, myelin sheath breakdown, and hippocampal dysfunction leading to brain fog and cognitive decline.

    In this Episode:

    00:00 – How Mold, Bacterial Toxins & Spike Protein May Affect the Brain

    03:00 – The Four Key Concepts: Priming, Multi-Hit & Brain Inflammation

    08:00 – How Mold Toxins and Spike Protein Activate Microglia

    Could our understanding of the brain’s immune system be completely rewritten? In this episode of Alzheimer's Breakthrough, host Dr. Josh Helman, MD speaks with Dr. Julia Belk, PhD from Stanford University about her ground-breaking research published in Nature.

    Dr. Belk and her team discovered that in adult humans, microglia the resident immune cells responsible for maintaining brain health are not permanently isolated in the brain throughout life as previously believed. Instead, they are actively replaced by circulating immune cells originating from the blood and bone marrow. This paradigm-shifting discovery opens extraordinary new possibilities for treating Alzheimer’s disease, leveraging engineered cell therapies, and crossing the blood-brain barrier!

    In this episode:

    00:00 Introduction: Can Blood Help the Aging Brain?

    03:00 What Are Microglia and Why Do They Matter?

    07:00 The Surprising Link Between Blood Mutations and Alzheimer’s

    Could a simple pair of magnets hold the key to restoring brain health and healing traumatic brain injuries?

    In this episode of Get Your Brain Back, Dr. Josh sits down with Dr. Luis Garcia, MD, a medical doctor, biomagnetism educator, and researcher, to explore the science and healing potential of biomagnetic pair therapy.

    Dr. Garcia shares insights from his 18 years of clinical practice and research, starting from his medical training in Colombia to his 2008 study in Ecuador with Dr. Isaac Goiz, the founder of biomagnetism. They discuss how static magnetic fields of over 1,000 Gauss (far stronger than weak 200 Gauss refrigerator magnets) create a perpendicular electric field that excites minerals in blood flow, boosting mitochondrial ATP production, increasing vasodilation, and stimulating the body's natural healing pathways.

    =====================================================

    Why are so many people leaving the hospital only to return years later sicker and on more medications than before? In this episode of the Alzheimer's Breakthrough Podcast, Dr. Josh Helman sits down with Dr. Linell King, MD, a Johns Hopkins trained internal medicine physician who walked away from conventional "disease care" to become one of America's leading voices in functional medicine and lifelong vitality.

    Dr. King shares the personal wake up call, his father's battle with pancreatic cancer, that pushed him to question everything he was taught in medical school. Together, they break down why treating symptoms isn't the same as treating the root cause, how gut health directly shapes brain health and cognitive clarity, and why standard blood work misses the five biggest blind spots in your health. You'll also learn why high tech biohacking can't fix a broken foundation, how community and mentorship drive 80% of lasting health transformation, and one simple breathing technique you can use today to calm your nervous system in under 60 seconds.

    If you or someone you love is worried about brain fog, fatigue, or long term cognitive decline, this conversation will change how you think about aging, medication, and what true vitality really means.
