Could the roots of dementia be forming decades before any noticeable memory loss? Host Gaby sits down with renowned neuropsychiatrist, biomedical engineer, and health-tech founder Dr. Reza Ghomi for an eye-opening conversation on modern brain health. From surviving Hodgkin’s lymphoma to pioneering AI-driven medical tools, Dr. Ghomi breaks down the subtle warning signs of neurodegenerative diseases, the gut-brain connection, and why apathy—not sadness—is often the earliest sign of cognitive decline.

Key Highlights:

 The Silent Warning Signs: Understanding how early dementia presents as apathy and loss of self-awareness.

 The Gut-Brain Connection: Why gastrointestinal issues can precede a Parkinson’s diagnosis by 30 to 40 years.

 GLP-1s & Neuroinflammation: How metabolic treatments are opening new doors for Alzheimer's and vascular dementia prevention.

 AI Breakthroughs: How 30 seconds of voice analysis can screen for early neurological conditions.

 Practical Advocacy: Navigating insurance friction, using tools like GoodRx or Cost Plus, and taking charge of family health.

Neuropsychiatrist and biomedical engineer Dr. Reza Ghomi joins host Gaby to break down how subtle early shifts like apathy—rather than typical sadness—can signal cognitive decline decades before a formal dementia diagnosis. The conversation explores the critical gut-brain connection in conditions like Parkinson's, alongside the emerging potential of GLP-1 medications to curb neuroinflammation. Dr. Ghomi also showcases how cutting-edge AI tools—such as 30-second voice screening—are transforming early detection and empowering patients to advocate for their health.
