Medical education is changing, but not in a good way. What happens when future doctors are trained to follow protocols instead of thinking critically? What if the most important things doctors should learn are the very things being removed from the medical curriculum?In this episode, I interview Harvard-trained physician Dr. Josh Helman to share what he recently saw firsthand at medical school reunions and why it deeply concerns him. We talk about the gradual removal of hands-on anatomy training, the erosion of deep biochemistry education, and how rushed programs are producing physicians who lack the depth needed to solve complex health problems.We also explore how standard-of-care medicine, insurance pressures, and pharmaceutical funding shape clinical decisions and why lifestyle, nutrition, and prevention are often ignored despite overwhelming evidence. This conversation challenges the assumption that newer medical training is automatically better and explains why experience, curiosity, and continuous learning matter more than ever.If you want to understand how medicine really works and how to advocate for better care, listen to this episode.Podcast Sponsors:- Brain Power Clinics: www.BrainPowerClinics.com - https://brainpowerclinics.com/- Creatine - https://roarlionsmane.net/creatine - Use Code LOVEPODCAST for free shipping- NMN with TMG and B-Vitamins - https://robertlovestore.com/products/nmn - Use Code LOVEPODCAST for free shipping“Neurologists are experts at coming up with neurologic diagnoses...

What if the timing of hormone therapy is increasing women’s risk of Alzheimer’s? In this special holiday episode, I answer listener questions and share critical updates every woman needs to know about hormones, brain health, and Alzheimer’s risk. New research has overturned decades of fear around hormone replacement therapy, showing that bioidentical hormones, when started at the right time, can be both safe and profoundly protective for the brain. I explain why perimenopause, not menopause, may be the most important window to act, and how hormone loss directly affects memory, sleep, mood, and long-term cognitive health. I also walk through the most effective brain supplements, including magnesium, Omega-3s, creatine, and emerging longevity compounds, and how to prioritize them without overspending. Finally, I share practical holiday strategies to protect your sleep, manage stress, and support your brain while spending time with family.If this episode helped you, share it with a woman you care about and subscribe for more science-backed brain health guidance.Podcast Sponsors:-Brain Power Clinics: www.BrainPowerClinics.com - https://brainpowerclinics.com/“The new finding is that we actually want to start at perimenopause.
