In this Habits and Hustle episode, I sit down with Dr. Dale Bredesen, the first scientist to successfully reverse Alzheimer's disease. We explore the three major causes of cognitive decline, why your brain fog might be pre-Alzheimer's, and the shocking truth about everyday toxins like sushi, hair dye, and microplastics. We also dive into the KetoFlex 12-3 protocol and why 45 million Americans are headed for Alzheimer's. From sleep apnea's brain damage to the surprising benefits of saunas and cold plunges, this episode transforms everything you thought you knew about brain health.

0:34.8	You can use it on a sore back, stomach cramps, shoulder, ankle.
0:39.8	Red light therapy is my go-to. Plus, it also has amazing anti-aging benefits, including
0:45.9	reducing signs of fine lines and wrinkles on your face, which I also use it for. I personally use

2:04.5	thank you for being here. Thanks so much for the invitation. Great to be here. Thank you. So the first
2:09.6	thing I want to ask you is because it's, you don't hear very often about how you hear that sometimes
2:16.2	when you get diagnosed with Alzheimer's, that like it's basically
