In today's show, we explore what the latest biomarkers can and can't tell us about Alzheimer's risk and why testing tower amyloid in isolation can lead to unnecessary panic.

We discuss the five pillars of brain health that can actually grow the size of your hippocampus in as little as 12 weeks, and why chronic stress may be the most underrated threat to your brain, and how lifestyle interventions outperform current Alzheimer's drugs by 2-400% in clinical trials.

If you've ever worried about memory loss, been confused by brain health, lab work, or simply want to show up sharper and more resilient as you age, this show is for you.

You argue that 45% of dementia is preventable.

What are the most surprising modifiable factors that people overlook here?

You know, you mentioned Alzheimer's, and this is exciting, interesting, and also scary in that there are so many tests one can do right now.

And you say it is one of the most misunderstood tests

biomarkers in this new era.

You know, what can you test for?

P-tau, amyloid, NFL.

In your view, what is really important here and what are we missing with regards to these biomarkers?

With that said, what can detect that?

It is exciting and I want to zoom out and spend a minute on labs because anecdotally, I think a lot of people are going out there and getting lab work and that's really exciting.

However, if you're just looking at one specific marker in a vacuum and your results aren't exactly favorable,

you may be left freaking out.

And so in my understanding, if you're concerned about cognitive decline, you should test for one p-tile levels, amyloid, so AB4240, NFL, HSCRP,

MPO.

And the last one I'm going to throw in is SARS-CoV-2 spike.

And I'm going to give you the why.

And I'll speak about this, my personal example, which our audience probably remembers.
