Alzheimer’s, Dementia, and the Daily Habits That Support Brain Health
Episode 55
Tuesday, September 1, 2026 • Duration 54:17
Dementia is one of the most devastating health challenges a family can face—but a family history or genetic risk factor does not mean your future is already decided.
In this deeply personal episode, Dr. Kevin Schultz honors his father, Duane, following his seven-year journey with dementia. Drawing from that experience, Dr. Kevin explores what current research reveals about Alzheimer’s disease, cognitive decline and the daily choices that may help protect the brain throughout life.
You’ll learn:
The difference between dementia and Alzheimer’s disease
Why changes in the brain may begin years before noticeable memory loss
What the APOE4 gene can—and cannot—tell you about Alzheimer’s risk
Why Alzheimer’s is sometimes described as “type 3 diabetes”
How blood sugar, blood pressure and visceral fat relate to brain health
Which treatable conditions can resemble dementia
How nutrition, movement, sleep, hearing, social connection and purpose support cognitive health
Simple actions you can begin taking this week
Research suggests that addressing modifiable risk factors across life could delay or prevent a substantial portion of dementia cases. There are no guarantees, but there are meaningful ways to improve your odds—and it is never too early or too late to begin.

How Intentional Parents Raise Healthy and Resilient Children
Episode 54
Tuesday, August 18, 2026 • Duration 01:01:47
What are your children inheriting from you besides their genetics, possessions, or financial resources?
Every day, children are learning from their parents’ routines, attitudes, food choices, response to stress, relationships, priorities, faith, and approach to health. Whether parents realize it or not, their actions are helping define what their children will consider “normal” for the rest of their lives.
In this episode of the Foundational Health Podcast, Dr. Kevin Schultz sits down with chiropractor, father, and health-freedom advocate Dr. Jerod Ochsendorf to discuss how parents can intentionally build strong, healthy families in a rapidly changing world.
Dr. Jerod explains why healthy families do not happen by accident. They are shaped through consistent leadership, small daily habits, clear family values, and parents who are willing to model the behaviors they hope to see in their children.
You do not have to be a perfect parent, nutrition expert, or healthcare professional to lead your family well. You simply need a clear direction and the willingness to make one intentional decision at a time.
