132. Women Surviving Alzheimers, True Stories & How To Prevent Dementia- Dr. Dale Bredesen
Dr. Dale Bredesen is not only intelligent, talented and someone who can think unconventionally, but someone who is also kind, humble and can express very complex systems in terms we can all understand. Today we learn more about his groundbreaking research in dementia. It was an honor to have Dr. Bredesen on the podcast back in 2021 and now a double honor to have him on for a second time to discuss one of his most recent books The First Survivors of Alzheimers. Dr. Dale Bredesen is a scientist, a researcher and an expert in neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease. He published over 200 papers, which many of them you can find in a pubmed search. In 2017 he wrote a groundbreaking book and New York Times bestseller called : The End of Alzheimer's and then several years later wrote a follow up book: The End of Alzheimer's Program (2020). And last year he wrote "The First Survivors of Alzheimer's: How Patients Recovered Life and Hope in Their Own Words". Dr. Bredesen is a professor at UCLA, but he's also taught at UC San Francisco, and the University of California San Diego. He directed the Program on Aging at the Burnham Institute before going to the Buck Institute for Research on Aging in 1998 as its founding president and CEO. Most doctors and experts in this field say there is no cure for Alzheimer's. But Dr. Bredesen blatantly says that Alzheimer's is absolutely reversible and preventable. He is going against the grain with his research, which he has been working on for decades. He's been consulting patients who have been told by their doctors to get their affairs in order before they die, because there is nothing they can do to help them. But now, Dr. Bredesen is not only giving these people hope, but actually a future they can look forward to. This episode is sponsored by Oxford Healthspan.

126. Don't Fall For These Skincare Marketing Tricks, The Truth On The Industry From A Cosmetic Scientist - Dr. Nichola Conlon & Magdalena Groselj
Today we are bringing together two amazing women to talk about some of the misleading marketing tactics that are running out there to sell us dreams…that unfortunately don't come true. Dr. Nichola Conlon is a molecular biologist who is a trained cosmetic scientist from the UK. Skincare marketing expert Magdalena Groselj is from Slovenia. They both have very unique insights and perspectives to all the creams, serums, lotions and potions we try nonstop. Although Dr. Nichola is trained as a cosmetic scientist, she went down the road to specializing in the study of cellular aging and a career in drug development. She is my go to person with all questions about NAD, because this is what she is super passionate about and even created her own company Nuchido. If you 've been following me for more than a minute, you know I am a fan of Nuchido as my favorite way to keep my NAD levels in check so I have plenty of energy to do what I need to do. Magdalena started out as an economist, and then moved on to the beauty and anti-aging business for the last 30 years representing one of the largest French luxury goods company Christian Dior. After that she continued to represent many other big name luxury brands including Chanel, YSL, Estee Lauder, Gucci, Kenzo.., just to name a few. Eventually Magdalena created her own personal care company and brand in 3 countries with beauty salons and retail stores similar to the cosmetics company Sephora. Magdalena has got both beauty, brains and expertise. I love and value both Magdalena and Dr. Nichola for their transparency and their mission to educate and empower women to make the best decisions for their future selves.
