• Why Cognitive Decline Isn’t Inevitable and What You Can Do About It

  This episode is brought to you by iRestore, Masa Chips, and Rula. Cognitive decline is a natural part of aging, but how much and how fast it progresses is primarily determined by us. While rates of Alzheimer’s and dementia continue to rise, research shows that our daily choices can either accelerate decline or support optimal brain health at any age. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our most talked-about moments with Dr. Heather Sandison to discuss her groundbreaking proof-of-concept research on improving cognitive decline—and all the factors her team implemented with study participants. She shares the diet and lifestyle changes that made the most significant difference in reversing early cognitive decline and explains why this isn’t about finding a quick fix or miracle pill. Dr. Heather Sandison is a renowned naturopathic doctor specializing in neurocognitive medicine and the founder of Solcere Health Clinic, San Diego’s premier brain optimization clinic, and Marama, the first residential memory care facility to have the goal of returning cognitively declined residents to independent living. She is the primary author of the peer-reviewed research “Observed Improvement in Cognition During a Personalized Lifestyle Intervention in People with Cognitive Decline,” published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease. Dr. Sandison hosts the annual online Reverse Alzheimer’s Summit, where she shares cutting-edge and tried-and-true insight into what is possible for those suffering from dementia. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Sandison dive into: The whole-body approach for research participants (2:20) What participants in Dr. Sandison’s study implemented and the results (6:25) Stages of cognitive decline and adopting a lifestyle to prevent decline (11:34) What to do to reverse cognitive decline (17:58) Final thoughts (21:48) Also mentioned: Full episode with Dr. Heather Sandison This episode is brought to you by iRestore, Masa Chips, and Rula.

• 7 Ways I'm Helping My Parents Stay Healthy As They Get Older

  This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth, Maui Nui, iRestore, and Rula. As our parents get older, the roles slowly shift from them taking care of us to us helping take care of them. But how do you do that in a way that feels supportive, not controlling or preachy?

• Can We Starve Cancer Cells Using the Ketogenic Diet, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, and Resistance Training?

  This episode is brought to you by Bon Charge and Cowboy Colostrum. For decades, we’ve been told that cancer is mostly a genetic disease—something determined by fate or random mutations. But what if that’s only part of the story? What if, instead, cancer is deeply tied to how our cells produce and use energy? ​​Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our most talked-about moments with Dr. Dominic D’Agostino. He shares how and why the ketogenic diet can be therapeutic for cancer, why maintaining optimal blood glucose levels is essential before using hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and how exercise and lean muscle mass play a powerful role in both prevention and treatment. Dr. Dominic D’Agostino is an Assistant Professor at the University of South Florida College of Medicine, Molecular Pharmacology & Physiology, where he develops and tests metabolic therapies, including alternative energy substrates and ketogenic agents for neurological disorders, cancer, and wound healing. While studying the effects of gases on the brains of Navy SEAL divers, he developed an approach for metabolically starving cancer cells through diet and compressed oxygen, replacing chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. D’Agostino dive into: Why a ketogenic diet can be therapeutic (2:21) Lowering blood glucose to the optimal range (13:32) Exploring the potential role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in cancer care (15:44) The role of exercise and muscle in cancer prevention (20:01) Final thoughts and takeaways (23:18) Also mentioned: Full episode with Dominic D'Agostino Try This: How Exercise Helps Fight Cancer This episode is brought to you by Bon Charge and Cowboy Colostrum.
