The Power Of Plasmalogens
In Restoring Health
With Dr. Dayan Goodenowe

In this fascinating episode, we're joined by Dr. Dayan Goodenowe, a visionary neuroscientist and founder of Prodrome Sciences, to explore the groundbreaking potential of plasmalogens in restoring health and optimizing longevity. Dr. Goodenowe's work is transforming how we approach chronic conditions, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, autism, multiple sclerosis (MS), long COVID, and cardiovascular issues. We discuss the role of plasmalogens, Prodrome Sciences' advanced diagnostic tools, and how his Restorative Health Centre is making these innovations accessible for proactive health management.

Episode Highlights

1. What Are Plasmalogens, and Why Are They Essential?
Dr. Goodenowe explains the critical role of plasmalogens, unique lipids that maintain cell membrane integrity, support the immune system, and regulate oxidative stress. These lipids, particularly abundant in the brain and heart, are essential for neuron function, immune resilience, and cardiovascular health. Research shows that low levels of plasmalogens are linked to neurodegenerative diseases, immune dysfunction, and other chronic conditions, positioning plasmalogens as a key factor in preventive and restorative health.

2. Prodrome Scan: Personalized Health Insights Through Plasmalogen Measurement
The Prodrome Scan, a pioneering health assessment tool developed by Dr. Goodenowe, measures plasmalogen levels to detect potential deficiencies early on. This scan provides practitioners and individuals with insights into the body's biochemical state, allowing them to address risks for conditions like cognitive decline, heart disease, and immune system issues. By identifying these risks ahead of time, the Prodrome Scan empowers users to take proactive steps to preserve health and delay or prevent disease onset.

3. How Plasmalogens Impact Neurodegenerative Conditions 
In neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, plasmalogen levels are typically depleted. Dr. Goodenowe explains how supplementing with plasmalogen precursors can protect neuron membranes, reduce oxidative damage, and improve brain function, potentially slowing or reversing disease progression. His products, Prodrome Glia (Omega-9) and Prodrome Neuro (Omega-3), are designed to target both glial cells and neurons, offering holistic support for cognitive and neurological resilience.

4. Advanced Imaging and Diagnosis at the Restorative Health Centre
Dr. Goodenowe's Restorative Health Centre takes health assessment and intervention to a new level by offering advanced MRI imaging, which includes proprietary scans for brain health. This cutting-edge imaging allows for detailed visualization of brain structures, which, combined with plasmalogen measurements, provides unparalleled insights into brain health and early indicators of neurodegenerative conditions. By integrating these advanced diagnostic tools, the centre allows for early, precise intervention, tailored to each person's needs.

5. Training Practitioners in Restorative Medicine
Dr. Goodenowe's work goes beyond patient care; he is dedicated to educating healthcare practitioners on the science of plasmalogens and restorative health. Prodrome Sciences offers an in-depth training program for practitioners to understand, interpret, and apply the Prodrome Scan and other tools in clinical practice. By training practitioners, Dr. Goodenowe is expanding the reach of this groundbreaking science, equipping professionals with knowledge and tools to better serve their patients with targeted, science-backed interventions.

6. Applications Beyond Brain Health: 
Cancer, Autism, Long COVID,  Dr. Goodenowe discusses the broader applications of plasmalogens beyond brain health, including in conditions like autism, where they support neural connectivity, and long COVID, where they strengthen immune function and resilience. Plasmalogens have anti-inflammatory properties that can aid recovery from chronic viral infections and help support the immune system in its defense against future challenges. He also discusses plasmalogens in cancer.

7. Cardiovascular Benefits of Plasmalogens 
In addition to neurological and immune health, plasmalogens play a protective role in cardiovascular health. Plasmalogen supplementation supports heart cell function, improves lipid metabolism, and helps maintain the integrity of arterial walls, reducing the risk of cardiovascular events. Dr. Goodenowe explains how Prodrome Glia's Omega-9 plasmalogens can be especially beneficial for heart health.

8. Phosphatidylcholine and Mitochondrial Support for Enhanced Cellular Health  
Dr. Goodenowe emphasizes the importance of phosphatidylcholine and mitochondrial health as complementary strategies for cellular resilience. Phosphatidylcholine strengthens cell membranes, while mitochondrial support through targeted nutrients enhances energy production, reducing cellular stress and aging markers.

9. How Plasmalogens Fit Into the Larger Picture of Restorative Health
Throughout the interview, Dr. Goodenowe illustrates a unique perspective on health by focusing on restoration rather than simply managing symptoms. By measuring biomarkers like plasmalogens, we can intervene before symptoms manifest, thereby preventing the onset of chronic diseases and supporting longevity.

Key Takeaways:
Plasmalogens - are essential for cellular and neurological health, with depletion linked to many chronic conditions.
Prodrome Scan - is a groundbreaking tool that assesses plasmalogen levels, enabling early intervention.
Restorative Health Centre - offers advanced MRI imaging and personalized diagnostics for comprehensive health assessment.
Prodrome Glia and Prodrome Neuro - supplements provide tailored plasmalogen support for glial and neuronal health.
Dr. Goodenowe's practitioner training program brings the science of plasmalogens to a wider audience, equipping clinicians to improve patient outcomes.

BIO

Dr. Goodenowe is a PhD neuroscientist, biochemist, synthetic organic chemist, inventor, and clinical research expert. In 1999, he invented and patented a revolutionary ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry technology that, for the first time in history, made it possible to comprehensively monitor human biochemistry.

Using this advanced technology, Dr. Goodenowe analyzed blood samples from tens of thousands of persons of all ages, of all races, and from multiple countries. The biochemistry of healthy persons was compared to persons suffering from disease. A diverse range of over 20 diseases from autism to dementia, and from colon cancer to heart disease was studied. The biochemistry of young versus old, and all-cause mortality was studied. This research led to his discovery that early mortality and each human disease has a biochemical prodrome.

These discoveries led to an extensive patent portfolio of diagnostic tests for the early detection and screening of diseases such as specific cancers (colon, pancreatic, ovarian, breast, lung, prostate, and many more), autism, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, ALS, Alzheimer's, dementia, bipolar disease, schizophrenia, unipolar depression, cardiovascular disease, and others. Dr. Goodenowe created the ProdromeSCAN™ blood test which measures all of the key prodrome biomarkers and offers advanced laboratory test interpretation training for health practitioners.
