Do you have a brain health question you are afraid to ask? In this special Q&A episode, I’m answering the most pressing questions I receive about brain health, Alzheimer’s prevention, spike protein exposure, detoxification, parasites, fasting, and longevity. These are complex, often controversial topics, and my goal is to cut through fear, misinformation, and oversimplified advice with evidence-based clarity and real-world clinical experience.

I explain what we currently know about spike proteins and what safe, physician-guided detoxification actually looks like. We explore glutathione as a foundational detox molecule, why overaggressively breaking down biofilms can backfire, and how lifestyle interventions can improve brain resilience even when damage has already occurred.

This episode also dives into parasites, heavy metals, mold toxins, and how to separate legitimate detox science from marketing hype. I answer practical questions about fasting, antioxidants, supplements, affordability, and what truly moves the needle for protecting your brain long term.

Most importantly, I want you to leave this conversation with hope. There is no single magic fix—but there is a powerful toolbox that can improve brain health, slow decline, and in many cases, support meaningful recovery.

“You do not need lots of expensive boutique tests and exotic supplements to meaningfully protect your brain. Diet, exercise, cognitive training, and vascular risk management using low-tech components definitely improve cognition.”
