  • Can Hyperbaric Oxygen Help Alzheimer’s & Brain Injury? Drs. Paul Harch & Josh Helman #HBOT

    Can Hyperbaric Oxygen Help Alzheimer’s & Brain Injury? Drs. Paul Harch & Josh Helman #HBOT
    May 14 2026
    For personalized guidance and support with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), you can reach out to Dr. Josh Helman directly. Visit his website at http://drjosh.com or contact his office at (407) 221-8841 to learn more about how he can help you on your journey to a healthier brain. Dr. Harch can be reached via his website: http://HBOT.com. Discover the science behind Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) for Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and brain recovery in this powerful interview with Dr. Paul Harch, one of the world’s leading experts in hyperbaric medicine. Most people think hyperbaric oxygen therapy is only used for scuba divers, carbon monoxide poisoning, or wound healing—but Dr. Paul Harch explains why HBOT may have much broader applications for neurological conditions including Alzheimer’s, memory loss, cognitive decline, stroke recovery, autism, PTSD, concussion, and chronic brain injury. In this episode of Alzheimer’s Breakthrough, Dr. Josh and Dr. Harch discuss how HBOT works, why pressure + oxygen both matter, and how proper dosing can improve brain blood flow, reduce neuroinflammation, support neuroplasticity, and potentially help repair injured brain tissue. Topics covered include: 0:00 Introduction to HBOT 6:00 The Journey into Hyperbaric Oxygen 12:35 Research and Imaging Techniques 19:05 Dosing and Treatment Protocols 26:12 Individual Treatment Approaches 33:52 Contraindications and Patient Considerations 42:15 Understanding QEEG and Dosing in Hyperbaric Therapy 42:35 Impact of Hyperbaric Oxygen on Neurological Conditions 44:36 Mechanism of Action: How Hyperbaric Oxygen Works 47:30 Challenges and Limitations in Treating ALS 49:15 Exploring Hydrogen Gas & Its Potential 50:36 Trauma & Hyperbaric Oxygen: Adjusting Protocols 53:19 Finding Qualified Practitioners 56:22 Future of Hyperbaric Medicine 59:47 Key Takeaways & Final Thoughts Dr. Paul Harch is the co-author of The Oxygen Revolution and has spent over 40 years researching and treating neurological disorders using hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

  • Doctors Reveal the EARLY Signs of Alzheimer’s (Before Memory Loss) With Dr. Melissa Murray

    Doctors Reveal the EARLY Signs of Alzheimer’s (Before Memory Loss) With Dr. Melissa Murray
    Mar 26 2026
    What if Alzheimer’s isn’t just one disease but a family of diseases? In this episode, I’m thrilled to be joined by Dr. Melissa Murray, a professor of neuroscience at the Mayo Clinic. Dr. Murray’s groundbreaking research focuses on Alzheimer’s, dementia with Lewy bodies, and other neurodegenerative conditions. She leads the Mayo Clinic’s Translational Neuropathology Lab, where her team combines neuropathology, neuroimaging, and genetics to understand these diseases better.Dr. Murray is one of the recent winners of the Rainwater Prize for Outstanding Innovation in Neurodegenerative Research, which came with a $400,000 prize to further her and her colleague Dr. Dennis Dickson's research at Mayo Clinic.The Rainwater Prize honors scientific contributions to the field of neurodegenerative research that focus on diseases associated with the accumulation of tau protein in the brain, with the goal of translating discoveries into meaningful therapeutic and diagnostic innovations.Today’s discussion tackles a critical issue in brain health: treating Alzheimer’s like it’s a single disease. With advances in neuroimaging and biomarkers, we can now diagnose Alzheimer’s while people are still alive, which is a huge step forward from the past. Dr. Murray also highlights how brain donation is helping researchers like her gain deeper insights into the causes and progression of Alzheimer’s.“We can't help our genetics. We're blessed with what we were given, but we also get to play that deck of cards that we're handed, and we have a chance to make a difference.” ~ Melissa Murray, PhDIn this Episode03:47 - The power of neuroimaging and biomarkers for early Alzheimer’s detection05:58 - Alzheimer’s disease is not a single condition06:54 - Understanding vascular contributions to Alzheimer’s in younger patients12:20 - How lifestyle and genetics influence Alzheimer’s development13:32 - The future of Alzheimer’s diagnostics: Imaging modalities20:15 - Brain research and the role of brain donation in advancing research40:37 - Studying the brain for infection (viruses, bacteria, or parasites)49:44 - The connection between sleep and the risk of developing Alzheimer’s57:51 - Ongoing research about Alzheimer's and brain health1:00:18 - Key takeaways from the discussionResources:- Top Supplements for Alzheimer's Guide - https://bit.ly/drjoshguide- Book: The Tale of the Dueling Neurosurgeons by Sam Kean - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0316182354- MRI and pathology of REM sleep behavior disorder in dementia with Lewy bodies - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3812105/Connect with Melissa Murray, PhD: - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissa-e-murray-012a919/- Website - https://www.mayo.eduConnect with Dr. Josh Helman, MD:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/greenbrainsMD- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/greenbrainsmd/- LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/doctorjosh- TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@greenbrainsmd- YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUMtFP2icmNEhOaSsd-CrSg?sub_confirmation=1- Others - https://linktr.ee/greenbrainsmdDisclaimer: Please remember that this podcast is for informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.
