543. Brain Health Alert: Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Autism, Alzheimer's on the Rise. What Do We Do?

Author: Dr. Amie Hornaman July 18, 2025 Duration: 47:18
I'm joined once again by the brilliant Sara Banta for a discussion on brain health, and trust me, you don’t want to miss this one. We crack open why rates of depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, and even Alzheimer’s are skyrocketing in our modern world. No, it’s not just “hormones”, it’s a tangled web of gut health, toxins, heavy metals, processed foods, and, believe it or not, little parasites controlling more than just your digestive tract. We’re not afraid to dig into topics like SSRIs and their hidden long-term risks. Get ready for raw statistics, real-life stories, and the truth about why so many of us (and our kids) are struggling with issues we didn’t see 30 years ago. But I’m not leaving you swirling in stress, we’ve got solutions! We get practical, talking about targeted supplements, the undeniable gut-brain connection, and the absolute essentials you need to detox and fuel your brain for peak performance. We expose hidden threats in your “healthy” foods and break down realistic, actionable steps to reclaim your mind, your mood, and your quality of life, even if your thyroid’s already optimized. If you’re tired of band-aid fixes and want to future-proof your brain (or your kid’s), this episode is your biohacking blueprint.
