“Sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate compound derived from broccoli sprouts and certain cruciferous vegetables, exerts a wide range of beneficial effects in humans. Some of these effects are mediated by increased glutathione, one of the body's most potent antioxidants, to promote brain health.”
“A May 2025 Nature paper showed taurine uptake may fuel aggressive myeloid leukemias in laboratory and mouse models, illustrating how nutrients beneficial to healthy tissues may also feed certain cancers.”
“For example, sulforaphane promotes the urinary excretion of benzene and acrolein, toxic compounds present in air pollution. But sulforaphane also demonstrates remarkable antibacterial activity: It reduces populations of Helicobacter pylori, or H.”
“But sometimes, the compounds can work against each other, limiting their absorption and diminishing their healthful effects. In this Aliquot, I address concerns about possible conflicts between matrix components in bananas and dairy products that might diminish the healthful effects of polyphenols.”
“In this Aliquot, I break down what the research tells us about glyphosate exposure in farming communities versus the general population, explore how it may lead to DNA damage, and share practical strategies for reducing exposure—starting with your grocery list.”
“Although many supplement manufacturers do not take steps to preserve the integrity of their products and some have made misleading claims about their products' efficacy, a few reputable manufacturers produce quality supplements that have been used in clinical trials.”
“In this Aliquot, along with Dr. Eran Elinav, I explore how gluten affects the gut barrier, who actually needs to avoid it, and the practical strategies that can help you build a more resilient gut.”
“In this Aliquot, I'm joined by exercise-oncology researcher Dr. Kerry Courneya to identify and prioritize the lifestyle behaviors that account for much of the difference in cancer risk and have the greatest long-term impact.”
“Modulating autophagy – through fasting and exercise (which both increase acetyl CoA) or intake of nutrients like spermidine – represents a promising therapeutic approach for extending human lifespan and healthspan.”
“It has attracted interest for its potential to activate mitophagy, the process cells use to clear out damaged mitochondria. In this Aliquot, I explain why mitochondrial cleanup matters for aging, why urolithin A production varies, and what early human studies suggest about its potential benefits.”
