Metabolic flexibility might just be the missing link between your digestion and your cognition. In this illuminating episode, Kate O’Donnell is joined by Dr. Scott Blossom, a licensed acupuncturist and integrative medicine practitioner who has studied with Ayurveda legend Dr. Robert Svoboda and is certified in Dr. Dale Bredesen’s ReCODE Protocol for cognitive health.

Together, they explore the rising rates of Alzheimer’s and cognitive decline—especially among women—and uncover what the science is showing us about the root causes. From the microbiome to mitochondrial function, sleep cycles to fasting windows, this conversation will expand how you think about your own brain health, metabolism, and daily choices.

Whether you’ve watched a loved one go through dementia, you’re noticing memory changes in yourself, or you just want to be proactive, this conversation will give you tangible, evidence-informed Ayurvedic strategies for supporting brain longevity.

Scott Blossom has integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Āyurveda, Yoga somatics, and evidence-based nutrition into his clinical practice and educational offerings for over 25 years. He is certified in Dr. Dale Bredesen’s ReCODE Protocol, a revolutionary method for reversing cognitive decline, and currently works with clients using a precision medicine approach to metabolic and neurological health.

He studied closely with Dr. Robert Svoboda and yoga master Shandor Remete and has served on the faculty of the Kripalu School of Āyurveda since 2008.
