Episode 170 - Unlocking Brain Power Over 40: Dr. Josh Helman on Alzheimer’s, Cognitive Decline, Deep Sleep, Detox Protocols & Reclaiming Mental Clarity for Men

One day, you forget where you put your keys. Next, you're walking
into a room and can’t remember why. And maybe the worst part? You
start to wonder if this is just part of getting older.


But what if it’s not?





In this episode, Dr. Josh Helman explains why brain fog,
forgetfulness, and mental fatigue hit harder after 40 and what
you can do to fight back.





He’s not just an MD. Dr. Josh is a Harvard-trained biochemist and
emergency medicine physician who now helps people reverse
Alzheimer’s and reclaim their mental clarity. His message? It’s
not too late. And the decline isn’t inevitable.





We talk about why your sleep quality, not just the number of
hours, quietly shapes your brain’s future. We get into the sneaky
role of inflammation and gut health, why environmental toxins are
slowly hijacking our minds, and the powerful but often overlooked
link between stress and dementia risk.





And Dr. Josh doesn’t stop at theory. He gives you the exact
supplements he recommends (including creatine), the detox
routines that actually work, and why donating blood might just
save your brain.





Whether you’re worried about your own cognitive health or caring
for a parent who’s slipping, this episode is your action plan.





Because aging doesn’t mean losing who you are.
