Episode #317 with Dr. Anna Cabeca
Hey there, love the podcast. Love both of you.
In this podcast questions came in from a Canadian listener.
In your podcast today it was indicated by the Canadian listener that Dutch Testing is not available in Canada. I live in Canada and I have had Dutch test done through my Naturopath Clinic and know that it is readily available in Canada.

#372 - Zaldy Tan: What To Remember When Forgetting, Normal Vs. Abnormal Memory Loss, The Stages Of Dementia, Supporting Loved Ones With Cognitive Decline, How To Diagnose Alzheimer’s, Partners And Intimacy, Lifestyle Vs. Genetics, Telling White Lies, And More!

Q: What should families consider when deciding about memory clinics and biomarker testing?

Biomarker testing can be informative but isn't a sole determinant for treatment; combine history, physical and neurological exam, imaging, and blood tests to assess risk and guide monitoring and planning.

Q: How do early onset and late-onset Alzheimer's differ in terms of causation and progression?

Early onset is more strongly linked to genetic mutations and progresses faster, while late onset has a mix of genetic and environmental factors and generally progresses more slowly, influenced by resilience factors like education and healthy living.

#366 - Dr. Michael Greger: How Not To Die Documentary, Plant Food Activism, Removing Animal Products, Why We Lost Vitamin C, Reversing Clogged Arteries, GLP-1 Agonists, Fraud In Scientific Research, Food Change For Socioeconomic Status, Paleo Problems, And More!

Q: What are your thoughts on the documentary's treatment of nutrition science and the issue of research fraud?

He emphasizes the need for skepticism toward published data, highlights fraud and manipulation in research, and argues that viewers should rely on the best available evidence while pushing for openness and better standards in scientific publishing.

Q: What was it like transforming your book into a documentary format?

Greger explains that the documentary evolved from his presentation material, with a director and crew turning the talk into a film that includes interludes with other experts and additional footage, all aimed at broadening reach beyond books and online content.

#365 - Shalin Shah: Oral Testosterone Therapy, Kyzatrex's FDA Approval, Hormone Replacement Therapy Myths, Conventional Vs. Ideal Ranges, Dosing & Timing, Low Testosterone Symptoms, Myths & Misconceptions, Optimizing SHBG, Feedback Loop Concerns, Testosterone For Women, GLP-1 Agonists + Testosterone, And More!

Q: What about testosterone therapy for women and the current FDA status?

There are currently no FDA-approved testosterone therapies for women; the company is pursuing a female development program and advocacy for FDA-approved options.
