Dr. Mark Gordon: Physician specializing in hormone replacement and neuroinflammation for traumatic brain injury and PTSD, founder of Millennium Health Centers. Known for treating veterans and his work with the Warrior Angels Foundation.
What this episode covers
Dr. Gordon lays out his core thesis that inflammation in the brain, not just pituitary damage, is the root cause of PTSD, CTE, Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases, and describes the neutraceutical and hormone protocols his clinic uses to reverse symptoms. He and Joe discuss the retracted fraudulent Alzheimer's amyloid-beta research, the case for psychedelics like ibogaine for brain injury and addiction, and the importance of supplementation as people age. The conversation then drifts far afield into bear biology and rewilding politics, dangerous birds, the three-fingered 'alien' mummies found in Peru, UFOs and consciousness, and finally digital surveillance and phone privacy. Gordon, at 72, frames his own vitality as proof that aggressive hormone and supplement use keeps the brain and body functioning into old age.
