How Brain Inflammation Drives Depression, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's

This compilation episode revisits pivotal conversations on brain health, challenging the notion that cognitive decline is an inevitable part of aging. Through insights from neurologists and researchers, the episode explores how Alzheimer's, depression, and Parkinson's are not solely brain disorders but are deeply tied to systemic factors like metabolism, immune function, the gut microbiome, and environmental exposures. The unifying message is that many of the biggest drivers of brain health can be shaped through daily choices and long-term prevention.
