Women are nearly twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s — but why? And what can you actually do about it?

In this powerful episode of Decoding Health, Dr. Urban breaks down the emerging science on why women experience sharper declines in essential fatty acids with age, how this impacts brain health, and what nutrients may help protect cognitive function over time.

We go deep on:

• Why women are more susceptible to Alzheimer’s
• How creatine is being reconsidered for cognitive function
• The real science behind omega-3 fatty acids and brain protection
• Why quality matters when choosing supplements
• How food-based omega-3 sources compare to pills
• Critical differences in male vs. female fatty-acid metabolism
• The truth about fish oils, krill oils, and petroleum-derived omega-3 products
• Why more isn’t always better when it comes to supplements
• How to think about dosing, bioavailability, and what your doctor should help you determine

You’ll also learn why the brain — only 2% of your body weight — holds 20% of your total fat, and why 30% of that fat is omega-3s. Dr. Urban breaks down how fatty acids become the “building blocks” of the brain, the retina, and long-chain structures that maintain cognitive performance through aging.

Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, optimizing long-term brain health, or simply want to age with clarity and vitality, this is essential viewing.

What happens when an elite athlete’s identity is built on performance—then an injury takes it all away? In this powerful episode of Decoding Health, Dr. Urban sits down with former Manchester United footballer turned Strength & Conditioning expert Dr. Andy Taylor to unpack the real cost of high-performance culture—and how metabolic health, nutrition, and self-awareness can mean the difference between longevity and breakdown.

Andy shares his journey from rising star at one of the world’s biggest football clubs… to a career-ending knee injury at just 19. But instead of stopping there, he rebuilt—from the inside out. Now, he’s one of the few practitioners in the UK using real-time insulin response testing (Craft Test) to help athletes and everyday individuals understand their metabolic health before disease develops.

We go deep on:

 • Identity loss after sport

 • Metabolic dysfunction in former athletes

 • How high-glucose diets accelerate joint damage and inflammation

 • Why youth athletes are more at risk than ever

 • The shocking link between school food quality and behavioral breakdown

 • How to fuel a growing, high-performing body the right way

If you care about performance, health, or raising healthy kids in today’s food environment… this episode may change how you view nutrition forever.

Andy holds a First-Class Honours degree in Strength & Conditioning from the University of Plymouth St Mark & St John and a Foundation Degree in Sports Performance from the University of Bath. He is an accredited UKSCA coach, a British Weightlifting Instructor for Sport, and holds a KBT Level 2 Strength & Conditioning certification. Andy has extensive experience in programme periodization, performance analysis, and nutritional guidance, with a particular passion for youth athletic development.

Before coaching, Andy spent nearly a decade as a professional footballer. He began his career with Manchester United, signing professionally in 2000 before a severe injury led to his departure in 2002. Following a year of intensive rehabilitation, he returned to full-time play, joining his hometown club Exeter City in 2003, where he contributed to notable FA Cup matches and the club’s return to the Football League.

Andy’s personal journey through elite performance and injury recovery fuels his commitment to effective strength and conditioning that enhances performance and reduces injury risk. In addition, he has completed professional training in LCHF/Ketogenic Nutrition and Nutritio

In this eye-opening episode of Decoding Health, we uncover the real science behind MCT oils—and why this so-called “healthy fat” might not be what you think. From breaking down what medium chain triglycerides really are to explaining how they’re processed in the body, this episode separates hype from hard science. You’ll learn how MCTs differ from traditional fats, why they don’t raise triglyceride levels in the bloodstream, and how they support cellular energy, brain function, and metabolic health—without the risks tied to long-chain fats. This conversation dismantles marketing myths, simplifies biochemistry, and empowers you to make smarter nutritional choices based on real science, not social media buzz.

We break down a practical brain-optimization regimen that blends nutrition, supplements, light exposure, and sleep hygiene to elevate cognitive performance. Dr. Urban explains why the brain thrives on ketosis (via intermittent fasting) and outlines smart supplementation—creatine (≈5g/day, cognition support), magnesium (evening for relaxation), balanced electrolytes (for neuronal action potentials), and lion’s mane mushroom (to promote BDNF and neuroplasticity—only GMP, third-party–tested products to avoid heavy metals). The episode explores lipid metabolism and cognition, the glymphatic system’s overnight “brain cleanse,” and how sensible UVA light exposure (e.g., occasionally skipping sunglasses) may naturally boost BDNF. With timing tips (creatine with food to aid absorption) and a nuanced take on personalized biohacking, listeners get a clear, science-informed blueprint to sharpen focus, sustain energy, and protect long-term brain health.

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Anayanci Masís-Vargas shares her journey from empathic hospital work and motherhood burnout to founding her own company in 2024, where she helps others navigate the mind-body-gut connection and emotional intelligence around food. Drawing from personal experiences with ketosis, gestational diabetes, and the dangers of restrictive dieting, she highlights the importance of biological flexibility, self-awareness, and mental health in achieving long-term wellness. Dr. Masís-Vargas emphasizes that not all carbs are the same, food is often treated like a socially accepted drug, and true biohacking begins with getting your mindset right. Her insights blend science, lived experience, and practical advice, reminding listeners that there are no excuses when it comes to prioritizing health. 

Dr. Anayanci Masís-Vargas stands at the intersection of neuroscience, nutrition, and human dignity. With a PhD from Université de Strasbourg and Universiteit van Amsterdam, she has researched the profound connections between brain function, metabolism, and eating behavior. Her groundbreaking work on how artificial light at night affects glucose metabolism and food cravings has been published in leading journals and featured in international media.

But Ana's true calling extends far beyond the laboratory. As Founder of NutriXQ, she has developed a revolutionary framework that recognizes nutrition as more than biology; it's culture, emotion, memory, and a fundamental human right. Her Four Intelligence approach (Nutritional IQ, Emotional EQ, Social SQ, and Adaptive AQ) empowers people to transform their relationship with food without shame, restriction, or dependency on experts.

Ana creates courses, children's books, and educational resources designed to give families the tools to thrive. She also trains healthcare professionals and nutritionists in her methodology, creating a ripple effect of impact across communities. Beyond direct education, Ana collaborates with think tanks to translate her evidence-based insights into health policy recommendations, working to embed nutritional literacy into institutional frameworks. She believes hunger is not just the absence of food, but the absence of dignity and knowledge, and her work aims to change that. From pilot programs in primary schools to advocacy for embedding nutritional literacy into education systems, Ana is building a legacy where no child graduates without understanding how to nourish themselves with joy and wisdom.

Based in the Netherlands and mother of two, Ana teaches from lived experien
