Alzheimer’s has always scared me a little.

You start noticing small things in yourself or someone you love, and it’s hard not to wonder, “Is this the beginning?”

That’s where this conversation with Dr. Joshua Helman started. With fear, honest questions, and the hope that maybe there is more to this story than families are usually told.

In Part 1, Tina Rains, RN, and Melinda Lee Foster talk with Dr. Josh about Alzheimer’s, dementia, root causes, and his T.I.M.E. framework: toxins, inflammation, microbes, and energy. They also talk about why caregivers need to pay attention to their own health too.

Part 2 continues next week.

About Dr. Josh:
Dr. Joshua Helman, MD is a Harvard-trained physician, board certified in emergency medicine and lifestyle medicine. He holds degrees in biochemistry from Harvard and the University of Cambridge, and earned his medical degree from Harvard Medical School and MIT.
