We’ve all had a moment where we arrived at the grocery store and can’t remember passing any of the stoplights along the way. We’re halfway down an aisle and scrambling to remember what we even needed. Our mind is in overdrive trying to sort through our ever-growing to-do list. We’ve been there when just making it through the next task is hard. But the normal stresses of life aren’t the only thing YOU have to deal with.

Throughout my training and practice as a physician I have come to one very disappointing conclusion: Western medicine isn’t helping people lead better lives.

Episode 170 - Unlocking Brain Power Over 40: Dr. Josh Helman on Alzheimer’s, Cognitive Decline, Deep Sleep, Detox Protocols & Reclaiming Mental Clarity for Men

One day, you forget where you put your keys. Next, you're walking into a room and can’t remember why. And maybe the worst part? You start to wonder if this is just part of getting older.
But what if it’s not?
In this episode, Dr. Josh Helman explains why brain fog, forgetfulness, and mental fatigue hit harder after 40 and what you can do to fight back.
He’s not just an MD. Dr. Josh is a Harvard-trained biochemist and emergency medicine physician who now helps people reverse Alzheimer’s and reclaim their mental clarity. His message? It’s not too late. And the decline isn’t inevitable.
We talk about why your sleep quality, not just the number of hours, quietly shapes your brain’s future. We get into the sneaky role of inflammation and gut health, why environmental toxins are slowly hijacking our minds, and the powerful but often overlooked link between stress and dementia risk.
And Dr. Josh doesn’t stop at theory. He gives you the exact supplements he recommends (including creatine), the detox routines that actually work, and why donating blood might just save your brain.
Whether you’re worried about your own cognitive health or caring for a parent who’s slipping, this episode is your action plan.
Because aging doesn’t mean losing who you are.
