ReThink It: The Brain Health and Longevity Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

New episodes at the beginning of each month- A podcast series that is dedicated to bringing hope for lasting healing for those struggling with a brain on fire. The numbers don't lie- new onset dementia is a diagnosis seen with greater frequency. Is it because of chronic brain inflammation that started before you were born? Is it because of undiagnosed stealth infections, toxic burdens or something else? In this podcast, we explore the science of health habits that will change the direction of your brain health forever. You will be challenged, like I was, to RETHINK what it means to be healthy. This podcast is hosted by Sande Bargeron, PhD, who, after years in the medical field, was forced to re-examine foundational health and the meaning of healing. After dealing with personal autoimmune issues, losing a family member to dementia, struggling with kids who had ADHD and a child with chronic neurological Lyme Disease, she learned that protecting the brain was a highly overlooked aspect of human health. We medicate brain issues, but do we really preserve brain health? Are we dooming a generation to early cognitive decline, robbing them of their chance for dignified aging and of the freedom to enjoy the fruits of their labor in the twilight years? Rethink lifestyle, nutrition, fitness and more. Biohack your brain and be inspired to take action that will help you fully enjoy your life again.

In this episode, we will BEGIN to explore the complex connection between the gut and brain, particularly as it relates to issues like ADHD, Autism and Alzheimer's. We will talk about some of the most recent and relevant research in this area and why it is important for anyone dealing with the "occasional brain fart." We finish the episode with applicable lifestyle, supplement and diet changes that you can implement easily in order to bio-hack your brain to improve the quality of your life and your longevity.

Featuring Ken Cedar In this podcast episode, we have the privilege of learning from one of the pioneers in the field of nutritional light therapy, full spectrum light therapy and photobiomodulation. Pivoting off of the research of Dr. John Ott, Ken has spent the last 30 years in the field of light and health research. He is current Executive Director of the non-profit organization, Science of Light, which has worked to create the most effective FULL SPECTRUM light available on the market, known as Nutritional Light Technology. Anyone who has ever suffered from seasonal affective disorder will relate to the feeling of life returning to your body when you finally get some quality sunlight. In this episode we discuss how the FULL SPECTRUM of light influences every cell and biological function in our bodies. We will talk about the difference between FULL SPECTRUM LIGHT THERAPY and the very popular near-infrared lights (NIR). This episode is chalk full of practical tips for implementing light therapy into your routine! Fun Fact 1: Did you know that if you stood naked outside at noon, 98% of the light absorbed by your body would be through your RETINA! Fun Fact 2: Did you know that light “MALNUTRITION” (lack of adequate light exposure) has been shown to reduce the life expectancy of lab rats by HALF!!! Fun Fact 3: Did you know that you need light to be able to properly metabolize your vitamins? The most expensive vitamin you will ever take is the one that doesn’t work- choose quality vitamins AND get out in the sun! visit scienceoflight.org and get a 10% off just for listening to this podcast, use the code: DRSANDE --------------------------------------------- Resources mentioned --------------------------------------------- Books: Health and Light (book is out of print, so most copies are expensive) FREE PDF of this book by Dr. John Ott available here: https://ratical.org/ratville/AoS/HealthAndLight.pdf Light: Medicine of the Future: How We Can Use It to Heal Ourselves NOW Dr. Jacob Liebermann https://a.co/d/eHHQwzZ --------------------------------------------- Further youtube resources --------------------------------------------- For more In-depth explanation of light for healing: https://youtu.be/5YV_iKnzDRg?si=go5_wn9jJKk27MaGListen to all the episodes of my podcast here: https://sandebargeron.com/rethink-it/Follow me onInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cleanlivingbasics101/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cleanlivingbasics

This episode explores the current research surrounding alcohol consumption and the myriad of impacts it can have on the body. We think through the benefits, the cost, and how to use the research available to make the right choice for your body.The best part of this episode is that I am joined by a fellow anesthesia colleague, Amanda Linton, CRNA, who wrote a book about her experience with alcohol and the impact it had on her life. In her book, Pour it Out (link below), Amanda holds nothing back. She is vulnerable, raw, honest, passionate and engaging. She shares her story while giving you some difficult and unpopular facts around alcohol. Even if you do not struggle with alcohol in any way, you will find SOMETHING about her story that you can relate to, believe me. (I did..)Amanda shares hope, she shares some practical strategies that she used to help her overcome her addiction to alcohol. You will enjoy dropping in on our conversation!I book-end this podcast with relevant education and the most updated research. At the end of the podcast, I also share my favorite strategies to support your body after you have consumed alcohol and are experiencing that next day sluggishness and inflammation. These support tools are not meant to be used in way to feel comfortable with increasing your alcohol intake, though, ONLY to support the body after the occasional drink(s).Lastly, I am including two of my favorite mock-tail recipes at the very end of the video, and for those podcast-only listeners, I am attaching one of them below!Resources mentioned in this podcast:Pour it Out by Amanda Linton, CRNAhttps://a.co/d/f8pTqTWN-Acetylcysteinehttps://cleanlivingbasics.metagenics.com/ceralin-forte*This product contains important B vitamins as well as NACProbiotics:https://cleanlivingbasics.metagenics.com/ultraflora-acute-carehttps://beyondbrainhealth.gethealthy.store/floramend-prime-probioticr-30-capsules.htmlEssential Oils Mentioned in this podcast:https://doterra.me/yc-rKw*the product links are affiliate or directly support our efforts to create this content.

Fluoride Part 1 👉🏻 https://open.spotify.com/episode/2J5yZJbgcOKiJIc7yj80J7?si=dd04dc9e3c3f479bThis episode is full of practical information. In the last fluoride episode, we dipped our feet into some of the research. In this episode, we talk about what to do about it. How do we limit our fluoride exposure? Hint: it is more than just proper water filtration.We talk about how to select a proper water filter. Hint: the average water filter DOES NOT eliminate fluoride.We touch on other contaminants often found in water and how to search for this information. Fun Fact: When I searched my zip code for water contamination, both uranium and radon contamination came up as 2.9-6.9x the acceptable normal!We talk about common sources of fluoride besides water, like medications (albuterol, antidepressants and more).More importantly, you learn a few key ways to begin to eliminate stored fluoride and heal your pituitary. Fun Fact/NOT SO FUN fact: Did you know that the pineal gland has the highest rate of calcification of any gland in the human body and that calcification of the pineal gland is linked to Alzheimer’s Disease? ______________________________________________________ Resources:https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/ Get the water distiller here: https://sandebargeron.com/product/mini-classic-ct-countertop-water-distiller-120v/ Get good supplements here: https://beyondbrainhealth.gethealthy.store/ Through the Month of November use FALL10OFF for 10% off of selected products 😉 Shop these brands: CELLCORE BIOCIDINA RGKBMO Biomatrix Davinci Labs Thorne Research #tapwater #Fluoride #FluorideFree #Rethinkit #rethinkitpodcast #brainhealth #betterme #lifestyle #podcastFollow me onInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cleanlivingbasics101/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cleanlivingbasicsYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@sandebphd

In this episode of the ReThink It podcast, we will explore a niche product with a wide range of health benefits- C60 (or Carbon 60). We are joined by Ken Swartz, Founder and Chief Science Officer of C60 Power. Ken is the world’s foremost expert on Carbon-60 and it’s profound affect on human health. Known as “Ken the Scientist,” he is a passionate advocate for health and wellness. He is trained in biogeochemistry, but worked in nuclear physics, so as you can image, he is a brilliant mind. Together we cover the wide range of human health benefits surrounding C60. C60 burst into the wellness industry not for a particular health benefit (at first), but for its beauty benefits. This is a leading product in the anti-aging and longevity industry. The reason C60 is so powerful for longevity and anti-aging is because of its affect on an important anti-oxidant called Superoxide Dismutase (or Catalase). C60 is a Superoxide Catalase mimicker and this is very important, because we begin making less and less of this important antioxidant as we age. Free Radicals lead to cell inflammation which leads to cell damage which causes wrinkles, arthritis and all those pesky aging effects on our bodies. WE love products that reduce Free radicals and replenish our normal metabolic pathways!!C60 has a robust amount of research surrounding it and myriad of health benefits. The discovery of it has actually resulted in a Nobel Prize in science in 1996. Fun Fact: Red giants produce C60. The identification of it in outer space causes many people to call it an “other-wordly element.” A red giant is a star that has exhausted its core hydrogen and begun a process of thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen in its outer shell.Here is a brief summary of the health benefits of C60:Enhanced longevity (anti-aging, anti-oxidant)Better toxin clearance and free radical scavengingResists damaging radiation to the bodyPrevents ultraviolet damage, Prevents heavy metal–induced cell damageBeneficial to skin and hair (anti-aging)It helps the body replace four critical antioxidants that decrease through the aging process—Glutathione, Catalase, COQ10 and Superoxide DismutaseImproves energy production of cellsStimulates Pregnanolone productionSupports mitochondrial functionsWeight loss, increased metabolismImproved cholesterol Endocrine stabilization.Resources:To order C60: https://bit.ly/47P4CzWDISCOUNT CODE (10% OFF)= DRSANDEFor more research and information:www.whatisc60.orgFollow me onInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cleanlivingbasics101/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cleanlivingbasicsYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@sandebphd

In my practice, which focuses on brain health prevention and optimization, some of the most challenging cases are ones that include chronic polypharmacy with prescription psychiatric medications like those prescribed for anxiety, depression and even sleep. Exposure to these medications on a routine basis dramatically alters normal nerve cell communication, not just in the brain, but in the whole body. As a result, rapid withdrawal from these types of medications can be catastrophic and life threatening. In this episode, we are speaking out in order to save lives and prevent suffering by educating and empowering you with the knowledge that is often not imparted to you from the doctor prescribing these medications to you -(not out malevolence, but out of ignorance). We want you to have the tools to advocate for yourself to ideally, avoid these medications altogether, but if that is not possible, to know how to safely withdrawal and recover from them. This is an important topic because of the high rate that these drugs are prescribed in YOUNG people and the link to cognitive decline with ongoing use. To discuss this hot topic, I am being joined by Nicole Lamberson, PA, who head of marketing, distribution, and outreach for the documentary Medicating Normal (as seen on PBS). We discuss what an experience of benzodiazepine tolerance and withdrawal looks like, as well as the research, the advocacy and the guidelines that are being created around this issue. Join us as we dig into this complex issue and leave you with some powerful tools for self-advocacy. Re-THINK what you think you know about anxiety, depression, CFS, ADHD and how to identify and heal from the root cause of these issue and stop bandaging the symptoms.ResourcesThe Withdrawal ProjectBenzodiazepine Information CoalitionBenzodiazepine Action Work Group of the Colorado ConsortiumInternational Institute for Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal.

The link between minor concussions, chronic infections, chemical exposures and EARLY DEMENTIAGuest: Michael Pendleton DC-APC, CCSP, DACNB, FABBIR Concussions are a well known cause of early dementia and brain injury that leads to a host other behavior problems.Chronic concussions in athletes has been well studied and was highlighted by the movie Concussion, showing how the concussion does not need to be categorized as severe in order to lead to lasting cognitive decline. A series of minor concussions can cause similar changes in the brain that lead to accelerated dementia, often preceded by significant emotional and mental changes life of an individual. This has a huge impact on the person, their family and their life.In today’s podcast, I am joined by a colleague who is highly published in the area of traumatic brain injury, acquired brain injury and other functional neurological conditions. Dr. Michael Pendelton is a Functional Chiropractic Neurologist who has a clinic in Albuquerque, NM, where he serves clients with a whole host of neurological conditions. Concussions are important to identify early and to treat aggressively in order to preserve neurons, or brain tissue and the longevity of your brain function. The complicating issue in today’s modern world is the increased exposure to toxins and infections that the we all experience. While concussions are categorized as TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY, exposure to toxins, persistent chronic low-grade infections are categorized as sources of ACQUIRED BRAIN INJURY. Both conditions have been well researched in the literature and show a link to dementia. Join us to get a deep dive into this topic and learn how to protect your brain!Topics covered in this podcast:* Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE)- also known as chronic concussions* Functional Chiropractic Neurology- (Brain Boot Camp) TreatmentSymptoms of different grades of concussions and associated risk of dementia* PANS/PANDAS* LymeParasites* Mold exposure* EMF influence on the brain and nervous systemKey take away:TIME IS BRAIN. The sooner you act to functionally address a concussion OR acquired brain injury, the more brain function you preserve.

Weight loss is such an important topic, particularly when it comes to preserving brain health. Dementia has been coined “Type 3 Diabetes” due to the affect that chronic elevated glucose levels can have on the brain. Obesity is a top cause of Type 2 Diabetes and glucose intolerance, so, of course, we want to focus on weight loss in an effort to preserve the health of our brain.In walks the hero, Ozempic and Weygovy! They help us to drop pounds rapidly, they stabilize our glucose spikes. They seem like miracle drugs. But, are they? Are they safe? Are these drugs going to help long-term? Are these miracle drugs going to do what they promised or are they just a temporary band aid, or worse, a scam?In this podcast episode, we discuss the ins and outs of these drugs. I will give you a perspective that may be bit unique-blending what we see in anesthesia with how I see these drugs from a holistic perspective. We will discuss other options to help with weight loss that are natural and safe. This episode has a little something for everyone who is curious about the Ozempic craze.Recommended products:Berberine HCl (gethealthy.store)Clean Living Basics, LLC | Pancreas Lamb - 90 Vegicaps (gethealthy.store)Appetite Control (gethealthy.store)Can't Weight | 60 Capsules (gethealthy.store)Crave Control (gethealthy.store)Products also available on Fullscript (Accepted by HSA)https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/cleanlivingbasics

Has the idea of self care been something completely ambiguous to you? Do you think self care is a day at the spa sipping champagne with your friends? What does REAL self care look like?
