S12 E39: Prevent vs. React: Why Taking a Proactive Approach to Your Health Matters With Rahul Iyengar, MD Jun 30, 2026

Show notes

Preventive medicine flips the script on how we usually handle our healthcare: Instead of waiting until something breaks, you catch issues earlier, when they're easier to address. In this episode, Rahul Iyengar, MD, explains why our current "sick care" system tends to wait for symptoms before stepping in — and what a more proactive model looks like.

He also shares why relationship-based care that gives providers more time with patients tends to lead to better outcomes, and how lasting health comes from sustainable habits rather than quick fixes. He offers a clear, practical look at taking charge of your health on your own terms.

S12 E34: What Every Woman Needs to Know to Protect Her Brain Health With Louisa Nicola, MMed, PhD Jun 02, 2026

Show notes

Women make up a staggering two-thirds of all Alzheimer's disease cases, yet the conversation and research around aging and brain health often leaves them out. In this episode, Louisa Nicola, MMed, PhD, breaks down why this disease disproportionately affects women and reveals that the underlying cognitive changes can actually begin decades before a diagnosis, often starting in our 30s and 40s.

Rather than viewing cognitive decline as a foregone conclusion, though, Nicola explains that up to 95 percent of cases are heavily influenced by lifestyle rather than strictly genetics, meaning the opportunity for prevention is in your hands. She explains how to make sensible daily adjustments to support your long-term brain health.
