105. Cognitive enhancers / Nootropic brain foods with professor Andrew Scholey

On this episode I interview Neuroscientist Professor Andrew Scholey, who has published hundreds of articles on the neurocognitive effects of natural foods. There is so much great information in this episode about what you can be doing (and eating) to improve your brain health, focus and attention.

68. Science deep dive - Serotonin, Tryptophan, and ways you can treat depression

Science Deep Dive - My first one yet. This episode will cover how tryptophan can be converted to serotonin or instead, a neurotoxin. What you can do to lower levels of toxicity which can cause depression and neurological disorders, and how to increase other neurotrophic factors within the brain and body for a more neuro-protective effect.

#147 - Hussein Yassine, M.D.: Deep dive into the “Alzheimer’s gene” (APOE), brain health, and omega-3s

Hussein Yassine is a physician and researcher who studies brain lipid utilization in the context of finding preventative measures for cognitive impairment, specifically Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In my conversation with Hussein, we begin with a fundamental coursework in brain biology—including its architecture and energy systems. We go on to discuss what these systems look like when something goes wrong and cognitive decline ensues. We talk about the evolutionary origins of the ApoE genotype, with specific attention to the ApoE4 allele and its association with AD. We spend time discussing ApoE4 implications for the brain’s fuel utilization, notably omega-3 fatty acids: EPA and DHA. We briefly pivot to the implications of recent omega-3 trials for cardiovascular disease and return to what we currently understand about EPA/DHA and brain health; we contemplate potential dietary interventions across the lifespan to preserve and prolong cognitive function.

We discuss:

Hussein’s Background and introduction to brain composition (3:00);
The blood-brain barrier and brain filtration (8:00);
Lipids and brain function (13:00);
How the brain utilizes energy (18:00);
Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) structure and function in the periphery (27:30);
ApoE function in the brain (38:15);
Evolutionary origins of ApoE isoforms (43:45);
ApoE4 variant and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) risk (53:30);
Dietary fuel preference with the ApoE4 allele (1:03:00);
The role of omega-3 fatty acids in the brain (1:13:30);
Comparing findings from the REDUCE-IT and STRENGTH trial (1:21:45):
The relationship between dietary omega-3 intake and brain health (1:34:15);
Preventing cognitive decline: A critical window for DHA in ApoE4 carriers? (1:42:30);
Hussein’s ongoing research and recommendations for E4 carriers (1:54:00); and
More.

The Craziest Media Moment I’ve Ever Seen # 1040 (Ep 1040)

In this episode I address the latest insane, anti-Trump conspiracy theory being promoted by talking heads. I also address the continuing trade war with China and the economic weapon they have. News Picks:Democrat Congressman doxxed one of own donors. If you still believe the lies about President Trump’s Charlottesville speech then you need to see this video. MSNBC guest loses his mind on live television. Liberal lunatics have declared the word “clown” to be a “white supremacist” word. Twitter continues to attack conservatives.
