    In this week’s Pod of Inquiry episode, world-renowned neurologist Dr. Dale Bredesen reveals how over a decade of clinical results have challenged the conventional view of Alzheimer’s disease. His RECODE Protocol has helped thousands regain clarity, memory, and vitality — even years after diagnosis.

    🔍 In This Episode:

    ✅ Why Alzheimer’s is your brain’s protective response — not an irreversible disease
    ✅ The shocking truth about amyloid beta (and why removing it can make things worse)
    ✅ The story of Patient Zero — diagnosed at 68, thriving at 80
    ✅ Why the Alzheimer’s Association refuses to acknowledge this approach
    ✅ The 7 Pillars of the RECODE Protocol that reverse cognitive decline
    ✅ How lifestyle, nutrition, and root-cause treatment can outsmart your genes

    🧬 Know Your Genetic Risk:

    • ApoE 3/3 → 9% lifetime risk
    • One ApoE4 gene → 30% risk
    • Two ApoE4 genes → 90% risk
    👉 But remember: genetics are not destiny when you treat the causes, not the symptoms.

    If you’re over 40 — or know someone who’s struggling with memory issues — this episode could change everything.
    🎧 Listen now and discover how Alzheimer’s can be prevented, slowed, or even reversed.

    This week on Pod of Inquiry, Dr. Stephen Barrett sits down with Dr. Jeffrey Burke—a 46-year veteran of the natural products industry and Director of Education for Kokora—to uncover why regenerative farming may be our last hope for sustainable food, nutrition, and health.

    🔎 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    • Why organic farming still falls short compared to regenerative agriculture
    • How modern farming practices have destroyed 50% of birds and 40% of insects
    • The secret to why grocery store produce tastes like cardboard
    • How a farm in Costa Rica boosted yields by 500% in one year
    • The “Emmy Emmy” process that turns forest waste into soil gold 🌍
    • Why soil health is the key to stronger, more effective herbal medicine

    🌿 Why It Matters?

    This isn’t just about farming—it’s about your nutrition, your supplements, and your health. The quality of our soil directly impacts the nutrient density of food and the healing power of plants.

    👨‍🏫 Dr. Burke also shares how children today think food comes from “the back room of grocery stores”—and why this dangerous disconnect could shape the future of our health and food system.

    👉 Don’t miss this powerful episode—it will change the way you look at food, medicine, and the soil beneath your feet.
