Why are women twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease—especially during and after menopause? The answer goes far beyond age, and what I reveal in this episode might change how you think about your brain forever.

In Part 3 of A Woman’s Guide to Alzheimer’s Disease, I uncover the hidden hormonal and genetic factors that put women at greater risk—and the steps you must take before symptoms ever begin. I’ll walk you through the six most powerful prevention strategies, the critical tests your doctor probably hasn’t mentioned, and the one conversation that could completely reshape your cognitive future.

In this conversation with Dr. Christopher Gardner, we debunk a common nutrition myth—that we need massive protein to build muscle. You might know Dr. Gardner from his twin study featured on Netflix, which explores how diets affect our bodies. We discuss protein requirements, diet quality, and sustainable eating. Plus, Dr. Gardner reveals insights from his DIETFITS Study and SWAP-MEAT trial, challenging conventional views on weight loss and plant-based diets.

For science-backed nutrition insights, this conversation cuts through the hype and offers strategies that might change how you think about protein and diet.

In this conversation with Dr. Heather Sandison, we explore what I consider to be one of medicine's most significant misunderstandings—that Alzheimer's disease, particularly in women, is an unstoppable fate. We examine the evidence behind cognitive decline, hormones, lifestyle interventions, and a framework for preventing and even reversing what was once considered irreversible.

If you're interested in making evidence-based decisions about your brain health, understanding why traditional approaches have failed, or learning about the powerful role of lifestyle interventions in cognitive function, this episode provides both the scientific rationale and actionable strategies you need.

I'm excited to share my conversation with Dr. Scott Sherr, where we dive deep into methylene blue - a compound you've probably seen all over social media lately (those blue tongues!). As someone whose primary research focuses on Alzheimer's disease, I was fascinated to explore the science behind this molecule that dates back to the 1870s and was actually the first drug registered with the FDA in 1897.  

The most fascinating insight for me was learning how methylene blue can serve as an electron acceptor in our mitochondria - essentially functioning as a substitute for oxygen when our cells are under stress. This explains why it shows promise for everything from traumatic brain injury to cognitive enhancement and even as a potential alternative to stimulant medications. 
 
If you're interested in optimizing brain performance, understanding mitochondrial health, or simply curious about this blue compound that's suddenly everywhere, this episode provides both the scientific foundation and practical applications you need.

Alzheimer’s doesn’t just “happen” later in life—it’s a slow, silent process that can begin decades before symptoms appear. In this solo episode, we challenge the myth that Alzheimer’s is purely genetic, and break down what the science really says about your risk.

I explore the role of the APOE4 gene, how it interacts with lifestyle and metabolic health, and why women—especially during and after menopause—may face a unique vulnerability. Most importantly, I introduce three cutting-edge blood tests that can detect the earliest signs of Alzheimer’s, long before memory loss sets in.

We’ll also talk prevention: from blood sugar and insulin resistance to inflammation, hormone balance, and brain energy metabolism—everything you can start doing right now to safeguard your cognitive future.

This is more than a conversation about Alzheimer’s—it’s a roadmap for taking control of your brain health.

Testosterone is often misunderstood as a male-exclusive hormone, but did you know that women have four times more testosterone than estrogen? In this episode, I sit down with leading urologist and sexual health expert Dr Rena Malik to uncover the critical role testosterone plays in cognitive function, energy levels, muscle strength, and overall well-being in women.

We explore:
• The misunderstood role of testosterone in female physiology
• Why testosterone deficiency is more common than you think – and how to identify it
• The impact of stress, sleep, and modern lifestyles on hormonal balance
• The link between testosterone and brain fog, motivation, and libido
• Why resistance training is essential for hormonal health
• Medical vs. natural interventions – from supplementation to lifestyle strategies

With emerging research highlighting the intricate relationship between hormones and long-term cognitive and metabolic health, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone looking to optimise longevity, vitality, and performance.

Professor Thomas Seyfried joins the conversation to challenge the conventional view of cancer as a genetic disease, presenting it instead as a metabolic disorder influenced by lifestyle factors.

With over 30 years of research, Seyfried argues that current cancer treatments may exacerbate the disease. He discusses the role of glucose and glutamine in cancer metabolism and emphasizes the potential of metabolic therapy, including ketogenic diets, for prevention and management. Explore the compelling intersection of biochemistry, lifestyle, and cancer with Seyfried's groundbreaking insights.
