My guest this week is Dr. Dayan Goodenowe, PhD. of Prodrome Sciences.
In this episode, Dr. Goodenowe and I discuss plasmalogens; what are plasmalogens, the fascinating research and case studies around antiaging and quicker recovery, why plasmalogens decline with age, the connection between myelination and brain development, various conditions plasmalogens can support; particularly in degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, MS, Parkinson’s and other neurological conditions, and how you can improve your plasmalogen levels through diet and supplementation. Dr. Goodenowe does an incredible job of breaking down the science of APOE genetic variations and the importance of cholesterol, as well as if it is possible to prevent TBI’s.
I’m incredibly excited about the use of plasmalogens–not just for recovery, general cognition, and longevity, but also for the potential to support prevention and addressing of so many common debilitating conditions from autism to Alzheimer’s, cancer, and more. Plasmalogens are found in various areas of the body and they account for about 20% of our brain’s total weight, peaking in our 30s and 40s, but substantially declining by our 70s. The good news is we can restore levels (and also test). We have a lot to cover, including prenatal and postnatal care! Let’s dive in!

GUEST BIO:
Dr. Goodenowe’s research into the biochemical mechanisms of disease started in 1990. His curiosity about the biochemistry of life is as insatiable today as it was 30 years ago. In those 30 years, Dr. Goodenowe invented and developed advanced bioinformatic technologies, designed and manufactured novel supplements, and identified biochemical prodromes of numerous diseases including Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, autism, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, and numerous cancers.
