In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Dr. Amanda Wiggins joins Jodi Duval to explore one of the most promising frontiers in longevity and neuroscience: brain vascular health. From her discovery of CGP (cyclic glycine-proline) to the science behind neurovascular aging, Dr. Wiggins explains why capillaries, inflammation, and even insulin play a much bigger role in dementia than most people realize.

From biotech insights to personal stories, this conversation reveals what we can all do — starting now — to protect our brains as we age.

Join us as we explore:
• What CGP is and how it supports the blood-brain barrier
• How brain vascular health is central to dementia prevention
• Why IGF-1, capillaries, and inflammation matter more than we thought
• How to start optimizing brain health — simply and effectively

This episode is for you if:
• You want to understand the vascular root of cognitive decline
• You're looking for emerging therapies to support brain health
• You're navigating aging, menopause, or brain fog
• You believe that prevention is smarter than hard treatment

In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Dr. Libby Weaver joins Jodi Duval for an illuminating conversation about iron — the most overlooked yet essential nutrient for mood, cognition, metabolism, and long-term health. Together, they break down myths, lab test pitfalls, supplement confusion, and why so many women and children remain iron-deficient despite "normal" results.

From hepcidin and hormone shifts to sport, anxiety, and pregnancy, this is the deep dive into iron you didn't know you needed.

Join us as we explore:
• What hepcidin is and why it's the key to iron absorption
• Why teenage girls and high-performing women are so often iron-deficient
• Iron infusions: when they're needed — and when they're not
• Testing errors, supplement types, and food-based solutions

This episode is for you if:
• You've ever been told your iron is "normal" but still feel exhausted
• You've had recurring iron infusions or failed supplements
• You're a practitioner wanting clarity on dosing, testing, and absorption
• You want to support kids, teens, and athletes with better iron strategies

Dr. Jones shares her journey from conventional pediatric neurology to functional and integrative care, breaking down how chronic infections, gut health, mold toxicity, and inflammation play a critical role in neuropsychiatric disorders in children — and how these issues can often be reversed.

Join us as we explore:
• What PANS and PANDAS really are — and why they're often misdiagnosed
• Mold, mycoplasma, and Lyme: stealth infections affecting kids' brains
• Why gut health, mitochondria, and detox pathways matter in autism
• The power of lifestyle, sleep, diet, and supplements to reduce neuroinflammation

This episode is for you if:
• You're a parent or clinician curious about the root causes of neuropsychiatric symptoms
• You're looking for integrative strategies to address autism, OCD, anxiety, and more
• You want to understand how mold, toxins, and chronic infections impact kids' brains
• You believe in treating the whole child — not just the symptoms
