=====================================================

Why are so many people leaving the hospital only to return years later sicker and on more medications than before? In this episode of the Alzheimer's Breakthrough Podcast, Dr. Josh Helman sits down with Dr. Linell King, MD, a Johns Hopkins trained internal medicine physician who walked away from conventional "disease care" to become one of America's leading voices in functional medicine and lifelong vitality.

Dr. King shares the personal wake up call, his father's battle with pancreatic cancer, that pushed him to question everything he was taught in medical school. Together, they break down why treating symptoms isn't the same as treating the root cause, how gut health directly shapes brain health and cognitive clarity, and why standard blood work misses the five biggest blind spots in your health. You'll also learn why high tech biohacking can't fix a broken foundation, how community and mentorship drive 80% of lasting health transformation, and one simple breathing technique you can use today to calm your nervous system in under 60 seconds.

If you or someone you love is worried about brain fog, fatigue, or long term cognitive decline, this conversation will change how you think about aging, medication, and what true vitality really means.
