In this episode of Alzheimer's Breakthrough with Dr. Josh Helman, Dr. Josh welcomes Dr. Daniel LePerrier, MD, a functional and integrative medicine specialist from Colorado Concierge Functional Medicine (COCFM), to discuss why the vascular system is the vital delivery system for your brain's oxygen and energy.Together, they break down how the endothelial cells and their protective "Teflon-like" glycocalyx layer act as your blood vessels' main defense shield, why traditional medicine often waits too long to address microvascular decay, and the advanced diagnostics and therapeutic protocols—from targeted supplements like Arterosil to Exercise with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT)—used to optimize brain perfusion and reverse memory loss.In this episode:00:00 – Dr. Dan’s Journey to Functional Medicine04:22 – Can Alzheimer’s Be Reversed?06:18 – Why Blood Flow Matters for Brain Health11:21 – Understanding the Endothelium & Glycocalyx19:49 – Vascular Tests for Alzheimer’s Risk27:53 – Lifestyle & Supplements for Better Blood Flow44:26 – Exercise With Oxygen Therapy & Key Takeaways=====================================================Connect with Dr. Daniel LePerrier, MD:-Website - https://www.cocfm.com-Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/COCFM-Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/COCFM=====================================================Connect with Dr. Josh Helman, MD:- Substack - https://drjoshmd.substack.com/- 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 - Website - https://DrJosh.com=====================================================Chillout by AudioCoffee | https://www.audiocoffee.net/Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/Creative Commons CC BY-SA 3.0https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/=====================================================Disclaimer: Please remember that this podcast is for informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.
