It happens to the best of us — we blank on someone's name, or forget an important meeting, or bomb a test we thought we'd ace.   Today on the show, we talk to cognitive scientist Daniel Willingham about the mysteries of memory: How it works, why it fails us, and how to build memories that stick.

Denny Agassi moved to New York City with a mission: She was looking to have great sex.

Her first summer in the city, Denny downloaded the dating app Grindr. She filtered for trans friendly men looking for sex or short flings — and it worked.

Then, one day, she got a message from a man named Jack. He was poised, curious and caring. What she thought could only be something casual — a Grindr relationship — turned into something serious and meaningful. Denny’s guard began to fall.

But, just as she began to let Jack in, he was gone.

This is the final episode of our season! We’ll be back with new episodes in late May.

Fintech has perhaps the most to gain from artificial intelligence technology. Even slight improvements in forecasting default rates on a loan or cash flows of a business can have a dramatic economic impact. But for the most part, fintech has been left out of the conversation –  partly because there is low margin for error in a regulated space. Encouragingly, this is starting to change. Ramp, a fintech startup that is noted for being one of the fastest-growing companies ever to hit $100M in ARR, is among the fintech frontrunners using automation and machine learning to help customers with expense management, payments, reporting, and more. Greylock investor Seth Rosenberg spoke with Ramp CEO Eric Glyman and Greylock's Reid Hoffman for a wide-ranging discussion on how AI is impacting every profession today – and how there is considerable room for it to impact financial services in the future.

Guest Shannon Harvey is an award-winning Australian health journalist, author, and filmmaker. In her film (and now a book, My Year of Living Mindfully), Shannon committed to meditating every day for 365 days. She enlisted a team of top scientists from around the world to track everything from her stress hormones to her immune function to her cellular aging and gene expression to her subjective wellbeing. 

Overwhelmed with insomnia, autoimmune disease, and a family history of mental health issues, Shannon was highly motivated to find a way to address the challenges she faced, and those we all face with the growing epidemics of stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. The results were surprising! She hopes that the film will spark meaningful conversations and help all of us feel more grounded and calm as we face the inevitable challenges of being human.

This episode is brought to you by <a href="http://birchliving.com/dhru" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Birch Mattress by Helix</a> and <a href="http://insidetracker.com/DHRU" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">InsideTracker</a>. This week on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Richard Johnson to discuss his revolutionary new hypothesis on the link between fructose consumption and Alzheimer’s disease. Dhru and Dr. Johnson discuss the evolutionary mechanism behind fructose metabolism, insulin resistance, and weight gain that has completely backfired today due to its overconsumption.  Dr. Richard Johnson is a professor of medicine at the University of Colorado Denver and has been a practicing physician and clinical scientist for over 25 years. He is internationally recognized for his seminal work on the role of fructose in obesity, diabetes, and now, Alzheimer’s disease. His work also highlights the fundamental role of uric acid (which is generated during fructose metabolism) in metabolic syndrome. He is the author of The Fat Switch and his newest bestselling book, Nature Wants Us to Be Fat. In this episode Dhru and Dr. Johnson dive into:-Dr. Johnson’s new hypothesis on the relationship between Alzheimer’s and fructose consumption (3:06)-The origins of Alzheimer’s (what’s going on in the brain) (14:00)-How modern-day life has hijacked our genetics to make us fat (23:08)-How fructose impacts mitochondrial function (35:22)-Why the body converts glucose to fructose (50:00)-The relationship between salt, dehydration, and fructose production (1:03:03)-How fructose makes us crave more sugar (1:09:23)-Fructose and Alzheimer’s disease (1:11:46)-The importance of strength training for glycemic control and Alzheimer’s prevention (1:30:53)-Sources of fructose in our ancestral diet (1:36:00)-The role of salt and dehydration in obesity (1:46:17)-Hidden “healthy” sources of fructose in the diet (1:58:57)-High-glycemic foods to minimize in the diet (2:00:03)-Umami foods and uric acid (2:07:55)-Dr. Johnson’s thoughts on Saturated fat (2:12:53) Also mentioned in this episode:-The Fat Gene -Could Alzheimer’s disease be a maladaptation of an evolutionary survival pathway mediated by intracerebral fructose and uric acid metabolism? -Study Suggests Fructose Could Drive Alzheimer's Disease (study press release)-<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Nature-Wants-Fat-Prevent-Reverse/dp/1637740344/ref=asc_df_1637740344/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=564641475597&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14945653727258550574&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031170&hvtargid=pla-1464573741817&psc=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nature Wants Us to Be Fat </a>by Dr. Richard Johnson-The End of Alzheimer's Program by Dr. Dale Bredesen-Drop Acid by Dr. David Perlmutter Birch Mattress by Helix is made out of organic latex, organic cotton, New Zealand wool, and American steel springs.

In this episode, Andy returns to the podcast and continues the conversation about training for longevity. He examines the training practices of powerlifters, Olympic weightlifters, Strongmen/women, CrossFit athletes, and sprinters in order to extract insights that can be applied to the individual wanting to optimize for longevity. Andy goes into detail about exercise load and repetition, training volume, the importance of learning proper movement patterns, the advantage of working to technical failure instead of the number of reps, and much more. Andy ties the discussion together by providing a hypothetical training plan for an individual wanting to optimize for longevity and offers advice for avoiding injury.

#250 ‒ Training principles for longevity | Andy Galpin, Ph.D. (PART II)

In this episode, I explain the biology of hair, hair growth, why hair growth slows and what causes hair to stop growing and/or “fall out.” I discuss the essential role of hair stem cells and other supporting biological factors for healthy hair growth. Then I describe various approaches (mechanical and chemical) to slow hair loss by increasing blood flow to hair stem cells, including minoxidil, tadalafil, PRP, microneedling, Botox and ketoconazole treatments. I also discuss how age-related hormone changes cause hair loss and explain the effectiveness of treatments such as caffeine, saw palmetto, growth hormone, finasteride and dutasteride. For all hair growth options, I describe potential side effects, how soon to expect results and the amount of hair regrowth to expect and I highlight effective combination treatments for hair regrowth even in hair “dead” (bald) zones. For many listeners, thinning, brittle hair, or pattern baldness are a source of anxiety and stress. This episode explains the mechanisms underlying hair regrowth tools and the science behind them so that you can evaluate potential treatments and associated side-effect profiles and select the best one(s) for you.
