  • How Regenerative Medicine Can Reverse Alzheimer's: A New Approach With Dr. Greg Carder
    Feb 12 2026

    If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s more to brain healing than just stem cells, you’re in for a fascinating conversation. Dr. Greg Carder, a leading expert in regenerative medicine, explains how regenerative signaling factors (RSFs) are proving to be a game-changer in reversing cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease. It's not about adding more cells; it’s about delivering the right signals to the brain in the proper sequence.


    We also discuss the role of exosomes, the small particles that carry healing messages to damaged areas of the brain, and how this groundbreaking regenerative approach is providing new hope for those battling Alzheimer’s. Dr. Carder shares case studies demonstrating significant improvement in patients treated with these therapies.


    If you’re ready to explore how regenerative signaling is changing the landscape of Alzheimer’s treatment, you’ll want to hear Dr. Carder’s expert advice. Stay tuned to learn how to take proactive steps in brain health!


    “If I'm going to live in the world that I live in and I'm going to expose myself to these environmental toxins, then regenerative medicine needs to be a well-rounded and regular component of your hope to at least increase the quality of your life on a day-to-day basis.”

  • Mercury & Alzheimer’s: What Your Dentist Isn’t Telling You About Silver Fillings With Anita Vazquez-Tibau
    Feb 5 2026

    Could the silver fillings in your mouth be damaging your brain? In today’s episode, I interview Anita Vazquez-Tibau, an international advocate and researcher dedicated to ending the global use of toxic mercury in dentistry. Together, we dive into the shocking truth about dental amalgam fillings, which contain up to 54% mercury, a known neurotoxin.


    I was astounded to learn that despite the risks, the American Dental Association still claims that these fillings are safe. Anita explains how mercury not only poses a risk to your brain health but can also lead to neurodegeneration, including Alzheimer’s. We also discuss the global fight against mercury dental fillings, the Minamata Convention, and what you can do to protect your health if you have mercury fillings.


    If you or someone you love is dealing with cognitive decline, this episode could be an eye-opener.


    “The key is to have a good biological dentist who knows how to do oral surgery. Clean out everything and just say: Stop there. I don’t want an implant. I would like a removable appliance.”

    ~ Anita Vazquez -Tibau (How to Protect Yourself from Toxic Dental Implants)

  • Can Plasma Exchange Slow or Reverse Cognitive Decline? A Conversation With Dr. Brad Younggren
    Jan 29 2026

    Alzheimer’s doesn’t begin with sudden memory loss. It begins decades earlier with systemic breakdowns that modern medicine continues to miss. And by the time someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, the damage seems full-blown. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Brad Younggren to discuss why Alzheimer’s is less a mystery of missing science and more a failure of how our healthcare system is designed.


    We explore therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) and why removing harmful inflammatory proteins, immune antibodies, plastics, and toxic exposures from the bloodstream may represent a powerful new frontier in brain health, longevity, and chronic disease care. Dr. Younggren shares how this decades-old hospital procedure is being safely re-engineered for outpatient use and why it’s showing promise for dementia, autoimmune illness, and accelerated aging.


    We also discuss why the exposome, the total toxic burden from plastics, heavy metals, mold, and environmental chemicals, plays a far bigger role in cognitive decline than most people realize. From immune modulation to biological age reversal, this conversation challenges the idea that Alzheimer’s is inevitable or untreatable.


    If you care about preventing cognitive decline, extending brain healthspan, and understanding why the medical system often fails Alzheimer's patients, this episode opens your eyes to what’s possible.
