Summary

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Bioptimizers, and Levels. Brain conditions, such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, Alzheimer’s, and even schizophrenia, are fast becoming one of the largest categories of chronic health concerns. Instead of just relying on the traditional approach of looking at the brain in isolation as the means of healing these conditions, we are learning more and more that when you heal the body, you also heal the mind. In today’s episode, I talk with Dhru Purohit, Dr. Dale Bredesen, and Dr. Todd LePine about the one common factor behind all brain disorders: inflammation. We explore how inflammation may arise from our diets, toxins in our environment, stress, and more. Dhru Purohit is a podcast host, serial entrepreneur, and investor in the health and wellness industry. His podcast, The Dhru Purohit Podcast, is a top 50 global health podcast with over 30 million unique downloads. His interviews focus on the inner workings of the brain and the body and feature the brightest minds in wellness, medicine, and mindset. Dr. Dale Bredesen is internationally recognized as an expert in the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and the author of the New York Times bestsellers The End of Alzheimer's, The End of Alzheimer's Program, and his latest book, The First Survivors of Alzheimer's: How Patients Recovered Life and Hope in Their Own Words. Dr. Todd LePine graduated from Dartmouth Medical School and is board certified in Internal Medicine, specializing in Integrative Functional Medicine. He is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. Prior to joining The UltraWellness Center, he worked as a physician at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA.
