Dr. Trevor Bachmeyer exposes sleep apnea as a downstream symptom of systemic inflammation, metabolic failure, and neurological dysfunction—not a breathing problem—and proves why CPAP is the most successfully marketed treatment failure in modern medicine while revealing the real upstream fixes.

In this episode, Dr. Trevor Bachmeyer takes aim at one of medicine's most sacred rules: cut your salt. He argues that sodium restriction doesn't lower blood pressure — it activates the very hormonal cascade that raises it — and walks through the physiology of RAAS, diuretics, and why 95% of hypertension actually traces back to insulin resistance and inflammation, not salt. He also breaks down why acid reflux is caused by too little stomach acid, not too much, exposes the mineral-depleting side effects of common blood pressure drugs, and shares a story about a member whose father-in-law came off dialysis. Along the way, he shares a personal run-in with a doctor who tried to push him onto blood pressure medication over a normal reading.

In this episode, Dr. Trevor Bachmeyer goes on the offensive against the medical establishment's approach to Alzheimer's and dementia, arguing that the amyloid hypothesis has cost billions of dollars and delivered zero results. He breaks down what he sees as the real chain of events — insulin resistance, mitochondrial collapse, and chronic inflammation — and walks through a five-part protocol built around a carnivore diet, 5-Amino-1MQ, NAD+, MOTS-c, and BPC-157. Along the way, he shares a personal story about his 82-year-old mother, calls out critics by name, and makes the case that cognitive decline is preventable and often reversible.
