Could brain inflammation be the hidden root cause of depression, autism, and Alzheimer's? Discover how to stop these three diseases before they start with proven lifestyle habits. For decades, we’ve viewed Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and depression strictly as localized brain disorders. But groundbreaking science reveals a different story: cognitive decline and mental illness often begin far outside the brain—in our gut microbiome, our immune system, and our daily environments. In this special compilation episode, leading experts explain how systemic brain inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction act as the true root causes of neurodegenerative and mood disorders. As part of our summer series, we're revisiting some of the most important conversations we've had on the topic of brain health. In this special compilation episode, you'll hear from leading experts Dr. Richard Isaacson, Dr. Chris Palmer, and Drs. Ray Dorsey and Michael Okun as they explore the new science of brain health and what it means for preventing cognitive decline, supporting mental health, and protecting our brains as we age. What I find most encouraging about this research is that it challenges the idea that brain decline is simply an inevitable part of aging. Instead, it suggests that many of the biggest drivers of brain health are things we can influence through the choices we make, the environments we create, and the ways we care for our bodies long before symptoms ever appear.
