Annie, congratulations on launching your podcast — what an incredible start! You truly hit it right out of the gates.
I’ve been focusing on preventative brain health for the past five years, and I couldn’t agree more that food really is medicine. This opening episode does such a great job explaining the ten categories you believe are most important.
I often share information on brain health with friends, and now I feel like I finally have a wonderful resource to send along. Well done!

Talking back
I am pleased that I am already eating many of the foods from the many pyramids Annie suggests. My breakfasts typically consist of cottage cheese, a mixture of fresh berries, chopped pecans, a sprinkle of cinnamon, a tablespoon of flaxseed and a drizzle of local honey. Many people say to avoid dairy that I eat for protein. What is your opinion about cottage cheese? I do like that your comments are evidenced-based as that lends credibility to your words. I’ve followed you for years, have your cook... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Healing the Modern Brain with Dr. Drew Ramsey—Mental Fitness, Food, Connection & Attention

Q: Why is nutrition so central to brain function and mental health?

Nutrition fuels the brain's metabolic needs; a steady supply of nutrients like omega-3 fats and vitamins supports mood, focus, and resilience, and the conversation emphasizes that food is a fundamental, non-optional part of mental health care.

Healing the Modern Brain with Dr. Drew Ramsey—Mental Fitness, Food, Connection & Attention

Q: What does mental fitness mean and how do the nine tenets apply to daily life?

Mental fitness is a structured, scalable framework where sleep, nutrition, movement, connection, and other pillars build a resilient brain, with practical steps like doing a quick inventory, choosing one area to focus on, and embedding small, real connections daily.

Food, Mood, and the Modern Brain with Dr. Drew Ramsey, Part 2

Q: Can you tell us more about that antidepressant food scale?

The scale rates foods by their content of key nutrients linked to brain health (e.g., magnesium, B vitamins, iron, omega-3s) per calorie, helping clinicians and patients choose brain-supportive options and expand the concept of “brain foods” into categories that fit individual preferences.

What You Can Do Now to Lower Your Risk of Alzheimer’s and Dementia with Dr. Kellyann Niotis

Q: What role do biomarkers play in prevention, and how should people think about testing for biomarkers like p-tau 217 or desmosterol?

Biomarkers are a key tool for understanding brain health trajectories over time. Tests like p-tau variants and desmosterol can provide insight into brain pathology and cholesterol synthesis, especially when done longitudinally to track trends rather than as a single snapshot. They guide personalized management, but are still evolving, and not all are appropriate for asymptomatic individuals yet.

What You Can Do Now to Lower Your Risk of Alzheimer’s and Dementia with Dr. Kellyann Niotis

Q: How do APOE4 and other genetic factors influence risk, and why is it important to understand that genes aren't destiny?

APOE4 does increase risk, but it is not deterministic. Most cases involve multiple factors—sex, family history, and modifiable risks. Knowing you carry certain genes can influence how you approach prevention, but it doesn't guarantee disease. This nuance helps people focus on controllable factors to potentially delay onset.
