| Can Blood Filtration Reverse Post-Viral Inflammation and Brain Fog? With Dr. Mobeen Syed | 19 Feb 2026 | 01:06:11 | |
Can “blood filtration” act like an oil change for chronic inflammation? In this episode, Dr. Mobeen Syed, also known as Dr. Been, returns to discuss a hot topic in chronic inflammation and spike-related syndromes: therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) and other blood filtration approaches. We break down what these procedures actually do, what they can remove from circulation, and why that might matter for brain fog, fatigue, microvascular dysfunction, and neuroinflammation. Dr. Been outlines the core methods: classic plasma exchange, immunoadsorption, and other extracorporeal options. We discuss the proposed “reset” effect, including reducing inflammatory mediators, autoantibodies, and abnormal clotting signals that may keep the body stuck in a vicious cycle. We review a sham-controlled randomized trial that found TPE to be safe but ineffective in that cohort, and discuss why a single intervention may help only a subset, if at all. If you want a clear, mechanism-first explanation without the hype, this conversation is for you. Share it with someone experiencing brain fog or fatigue, and subscribe for more evidence-based brain health deep dives. “Normally, the body is very efficient in removing extraneous harmful substances. When the body is unable to remove them because they are difficult to remove (like beta-pleated fiber sheets) and they are being produced a lot, we need to give the body a break. So we clean out the plasma.” ~ Dr. Mobeen Syed, MD, MSc In this Episode 03:16 - Dr. Been's opinion on the benefits of TPE 05:02 - Can we remove bad things from the blood? 11:44 - The core idea: dislodge first, filter after 24:04 - What the studies say about TPE 49:41 - Can TPE reverse the effects of chronic inflammation and spike protein? 53:58 - Clarification of concepts and terminologies discussed 1:02:17 - Key takeaway from today's episode Resources: - Top Supplements for Alzheimer's Guide - https://bit.ly/drjoshguide - Therapeutic Plasma Exchange: Current and Emerging Applications to Mitigate Cellular Signaling in Disease - https://www.mdpi.com/2218-273X/15/7/1000 - Persistent clotting protein pathology in Long COVID/Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) is accompanied by increased levels of antiplasmin - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8381139/ - Functional autoantibodies against G-protein coupled receptors in patients with persistent Long-COVID-19 symptoms - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33880442/ Connect with Dr. Mobeen Syed, MD, MSc: - Website - https://members.drbeen.com/courses - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@DrBeenMedicalLectures Connect with Dr. Josh Helman, MD: - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/greenbrainsMD - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/greenbrainsmd/ - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/doctorjosh - TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@greenbrainsmd - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUMtFP2icmNEhOaSsd-CrSg?sub_confirmation=1 - Others - https://linktr.ee/greenbrainsmd Disclaimer: Please remember that this podcast is for informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

| Mercury & Alzheimer’s: What Your Dentist Isn’t Telling You About Silver Fillings With Anita Vazquez-Tibau | 05 Feb 2026 | 01:23:40 | |
Could the silver fillings in your mouth be damaging your brain? In today’s episode, I interview Anita Vazquez-Tibau, an international advocate and researcher dedicated to ending the global use of toxic mercury in dentistry. Together, we dive into the shocking truth about dental amalgam fillings, which contain up to 54% mercury, a known neurotoxin. I was astounded to learn that despite the risks, the American Dental Association still claims that these fillings are safe. Anita explains how mercury not only poses a risk to your brain health but can also lead to neurodegeneration, including Alzheimer’s. We also discuss the global fight against mercury dental fillings, the Minamata Convention, and what you can do to protect your health if you have mercury fillings. If you or someone you love is dealing with cognitive decline, this episode could be an eye-opener. “The key is to have a good biological dentist who knows how to do oral surgery.

| Can Plasma Exchange Slow or Reverse Cognitive Decline? A Conversation With Dr. Brad Younggren | 29 Jan 2026 | 00:55:41 | |
Alzheimer’s doesn’t begin with sudden memory loss. It begins decades earlier with systemic breakdowns that modern medicine continues to miss. And by the time someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, the damage seems full-blown. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Brad Younggren to discuss why Alzheimer’s is less a mystery of missing science and more a failure of how our healthcare system is designed. We explore therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) and why removing harmful inflammatory proteins, immune antibodies, plastics, and toxic exposures from the bloodstream may represent a powerful new frontier in brain health, longevity, and chronic disease care. Dr. Younggren shares how this decades-old hospital procedure is being safely re-engineered for outpatient use and why it’s showing promise for dementia, autoimmune illness, and accelerated aging. We also discuss why the exposome, the total toxic burden from plastics, heavy metals, mold, and environmental chemicals, plays a far bigger role in cognitive decline than most people realize. From immune modulation to biological age reversal, this conversation challenges the idea that Alzheimer’s is inevitable or untreatable. If you care about preventing cognitive decline, extending brain healthspan, and understanding why the medical system often fails Alzheimer's patients, this episode opens your eyes to what’s possible.

| Parasites, Toxins, and Alzheimer’s: Dr. Josh Helman’s Q&A Episode | 08 Jan 2026 | 01:01:21 | |
Do you have a brain health question you are afraid to ask? In this special Q&A episode, I’m answering the most pressing questions I receive about brain health, Alzheimer’s prevention, spike protein exposure, detoxification, parasites, fasting, and longevity. These are complex, often controversial topics, and my goal is to cut through fear, misinformation, and oversimplified advice with evidence-based clarity and real-world clinical experience. I explain what we currently know about spike proteins and what safe, physician-guided detoxification actually looks like. We explore glutathione as a foundational detox molecule, why overaggressively breaking down biofilms can backfire, and how lifestyle interventions can improve brain resilience even when damage has already occurred. This episode also dives into parasites, heavy metals, mold toxins, and how to separate legitimate detox science from marketing hype. I answer practical questions about fasting, antioxidants, supplements, affordability, and what truly moves the needle for protecting your brain long term. Most importantly, I want you to leave this conversation with hope. There is no single magic fix—but there is a powerful toolbox that can improve brain health, slow decline, and in many cases, support meaningful recovery. “You do not need lots of expensive boutique tests and exotic supplements to meaningfully protect your brain.

| Why Post-Surgery Delirium Predicts Dementia—and How to Prevent It With Dr. Leah Acker | 11 Dec 2025 | 01:00:43 | |
Why do some people stay mentally sharp after surgery while others decline even when their brains look identical on scans? In this episode, I explore one of the biggest mysteries in brain health: why two people with the same MRI, the same amyloid burden, and the same risk factors can age so differently. My guest, Dr. Leah Acker, a Harvard-MIT–trained physician-scientist and Duke anesthesiologist, studies the hidden rules of brain resilience and what stress reveals about cognitive decline. As we talk, Dr. Acker explains how surgery acts as a “stress test for the brain,” exposing vulnerabilities years before symptoms show up. We break down the links between anesthesia, delirium, sleep, heart rate variability, inflammation, and early neurodegeneration, and why postoperative delirium can increase dementia risk up to 12-fold. She also explains why simple EEG changes can predict who is most vulnerable during stress. We also dive into the future of brain science—from personalized anesthesia to breakthroughs in functional MRI and new Alzheimer’s biomarkers. If you or a loved one is facing surgery, or if you want to understand how the aging brain really works, this episode is essential. Tune in to learn how to prepare, protect your brain, and build long-term cognitive resilience. “ I tend to think of surgery and anesthesia as a stress test for the brain. It's an emotionally stressful event in general…On top of that, there's a lot of physiological stress that comes with surgery.” ~ Dr. Leah Acker In this Episode 00:00 - Introduction to Dr. Leah Acker 07:58 - Post-operative delirium and dementia connection 11:08 - Heart health and its impact on inflammation and healing 14:51 - How long does anesthesia stay in the body? 19:36 - Pre-operative preparation to minimize the stress of surgery 23:19 - EEG, alpha waves, and what they reveal about brain health 27:31 - Surgery as a stress test for the brain 33:27 - Tips for patients who have just had a major surgery 44:06 - Biomarkers to determine brain function and Alzheimer's risk 47:23 - What makes the brain respond well to stress? 53:03 - The future of brain research and personalized patient care Resources: - Top Supplements for Alzheimer's Guide - https://bit.ly/drjoshguide Connect with Dr. Leah Acker: - Website - ackerlab.com - Email - ackerlabinfo@duke.edu Connect with Dr. Josh Helman, MD: - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/greenbrainsMD - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/greenbrainsmd/ - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/doctorjosh - TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@greenbrainsmd - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUMtFP2icmNEhOaSsd-CrSg?sub_confirmation=1 - Others - https://linktr.ee/greenbrainsmd Disclaimer: Please remember that this podcast is for informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.
