The world is facing a neurological emergency. Dementia cases are projected to nearly triple by 2050, and despite decades of pharmaceutical research, effective, scalable solutions remain limited. This has pushed scientists to look beyond single-target drugs and toward food-based, systems-level interventions.

In Episode 82 of the Orange Pill Podcast, we explore why red beetroot is emerging as a serious scientific contender in the fight against what many researchers now call “Type 3 Diabetes” , the metabolic and insulin-resistant decline of the aging brain.

This episode unpacks groundbreaking research showing that beetroot’s benefits are not just nutritional, but neurological, vascular, and microbiome-dependent.

It also reframes brain health as a mouth-to-microbe-to-mitochondria conversation, and positions beetroot as a powerful example of how whole foods may influence neurodegeneration.

🎧 Listen to Episode 82 to discover why the future of cognitive resilience may begin not in the pharmacy, but in the produce aisle.
