Could hidden dangers in your home be impacting your brain health? In this eye-opening conversation, discover how mold and mycotoxins might be contributing to cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease.

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.”

What if the fastest way to improve your brain isn’t just one treatment but three powerful levers working together to reverse cognitive decline? In this episode, I interview Dr. Nick Delgado, a pioneer in hormone optimization, inflammation control, peptide therapy, and lifestyle medicine, to explore what he calls the fastest levers for transforming brain health. We break down how nutrition, hormone balance, and targeted peptides can rapidly shift cognition, reduce inflammation, and support the aging brain. 

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.”

Why do some people stay mentally sharp after surgery while others decline even when their brains look identical on scans?

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.”
