The Superhumanize Podcast Rewiring Cognitive Health: The Science of Nutritional Psychiatry and Reversing Cognitive Decline with Dr. John Lewis
Welcome back to Superhumanize, where we explore the frontier of what it means to truly thrive in body, mind, and spirit. Today, I’m excited to be joined by someone who stands at the intersection of cutting-edge science and practical wellness—Dr. John Lewis.
Dr. Lewis is a pioneer in the field of nutritional psychiatry and cognitive health. His groundbreaking work has expanded our understanding of how nutrition impacts the brain and has also led to tangible solutions that are transforming lives. Most notably, Dr. Lewis conducted a landmark clinical study on Alzheimer’s disease, where his innovative use of an aloe polysaccharide multi-nutrient complex led to clinically significant improvements in cognitive function, reduced inflammation, and enhanced immune responses in patients with moderate to severe Alzheimer’s. This study has opened new avenues for potentially reversing the cognitive decline associated with this devastating disease.
In this episode, we’ll explore the very mechanisms by which the food we eat can enhance cognitive function, support immune health, and even modulate inflammation—a root cause of so many chronic conditions. We’ll go into the fascinating world of plant-based nutrients and their role in detoxification, heavy metal chelation, and adult stem cell production.
Beyond the science, what truly sets Dr. Lewis apart is his commitment to applying this knowledge in ways that are both accessible and deeply impactful. Whether you're a health practitioner, a biohacker, or someone simply looking to optimize your mental clarity and longevity, this conversation will deliver insights that could very well change the way you think about food and health.
