Struggling to maintain cognitive health as you age? You’re not alone. With Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases on the rise, the conversation around brain health is more critical than ever. But what if you could prevent—or even reverse—Alzheimer’s symptoms?
In this episode of Alzheimer’s Breakthrough with Dr. Josh Helman, MD, I sit down with holistic brain health expert Dr. Krystal Culler to discuss groundbreaking strategies for brain health, from lifestyle interventions to the latest scientific research. If you want to safeguard your memory, boost cognitive function, and understand the future of Alzheimer’s treatment, this episode is packed with actionable insights.
Most people associate brain health with aging, but the reality is that cognitive wellness should be nurtured from childhood. Dr. Culler and I discussed how children are already being introduced to “brain breaks” and mindfulness practices in schools. Yet, somewhere along the way, adults stop prioritizing brain care.

For years, the medical community believed that Alzheimer’s was an irreversible disease. However, new studies—including work from Dr. Dean Ornish—suggest that lifestyle interventions can significantly improve cognitive function.
🔹 A plant-based diet combined with moderate exercise and stress management has shown promising results in early-stage Alzheimer’s patients. 🔹 Cognitive stimulation and personalized programs help individuals retain memory and functional abilities longer. 🔹 Patients adopting these interventions have lived well with the disease for over two decades.
The food we eat directly affects brain chemistry, inflammation, and neuroplasticity. Dr. Culler and I discussed how the Mediterranean diet—rich in healthy fats, antioxidants, and plant-based nutrients—can slow cognitive decline and support neuroprotection.

Many people still believe that brain-related diagnoses—like Alzheimer’s, seizures, and migraines—are untreatable, leading to stigma and misinformation. Dr. Culler shared a personal story about how her own health challenges shaped her mission to advocate for brain health equity.

Access to brain health information is often limited to scientific communities, leaving the general public uninformed. That’s why I am passionate about making cutting-edge research accessible to everyone.
Brain health isn’t a topic for the future—it’s a critical issue today. Whether you’re in your 20s, 50s, or beyond, the steps you take now can influence your cognitive function for years to come. The latest research shows that prevention, and even reversal, of Alzheimer’s symptoms is possible. But it requires awareness, action, and commitment.
