I Was Scared I Had Dementia at 43… Here's What I Learned
Tuesday, November 3, 2026
At 43, I became so worried about my brain fog and forgetfulness that I actually went for a brain scan. Yes, I was genuinely worried about DEMENTIA.
Thankfully, my doctors weren't nearly as alarmed as I was! But the experience sent me down a fascinating rabbit hole about preventative health, the gut-brain connection, and just how much our gut microbiome could influence the way we feel, think and function.
In this very personal episode of The Erin Molan Show, I'm joined by Gabe Dough, founder of Good Bru, for an eye-opening conversation about gut health, probiotics, prebiotics, brain fog, inflammation, energy, digestion and the emerging research connecting our gut to our brain.
Gabe is incredibly passionate about the science, and I found his explanations fascinating. We explore what researchers are learning about the gut microbiome, why the bacteria living inside us matter, how modern diets and antibiotics can affect gut health, and why scientists are increasingly studying the possible connections between gut health, cognitive function, mood and dementia.
We also discuss Good Bru, an organic prebiotic fiber and probiotic supplement that I've recently started adding to my morning coffee. I love that it's simple, convenient and fits into a routine I already enjoy.
This is a subject I've become genuinely obsessed with, particularly as I get older. I learned so much from this conversation, and I think you will too.
