What We Talk About
• Dr. Noorda’s personal path into brain health and functional medicine after witnessing his father’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis.
• How early cognitive decline shows up through subtle shifts in memory, speech, smell, and gut health.
• The difference between dementia and Alzheimer’s and how Alzheimer’s has six distinct subtypes that require different approaches.
• How inflammation, toxins, blood sugar issues, and hormone imbalances contribute to long-term cognitive decline.
• Why mold, infections, and even hidden dental issues like cavitations can silently impact brain function.
• Foundational habits that support the brain, including detox, sleep, movement, and meaningful connection.
• How personalized nutrition, lab testing, and intermittent fasting can support brain healing.
• The power of supplements like creatine, NAD+, NMN, and methylene blue for cellular regeneration and brain performance.
• How trauma, chronic stress, and poor sleep habits can be root drivers of brain fog and mental decline.
• Why long-term prevention and care are essential, even after symptoms start to improve.
