“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.”
“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.”
“Jet lag often shows up as fatigue after a long flight, reflecting a mismatch between your internal clock and the external world. In this Aliquot, joined by Drs. Michael Grandner and Darren Candow, I explain how jet lag works, which signals are most important for resetting your clock, and how to reduce jet lag before travel and recover more quickly after arrival.”
“These changes increase infection risk, weaken vaccine responses, and reduce early cancer surveillance. Yet immune aging is not fixed. Movement, sleep, stress regulation, temperature exposure, and nutrition shape immune cell balance and inflammatory activity over time.”
“In this Aliquot, I explain why visceral fat behaves so differently from other fat, how it drives insulin resistance and chronic disease, and what research shows about the most effective ways to reduce it.”
“As for this last point in particular, but also all conversations surrounding severe life-altering diagnosis like cancer, these clips are not meant to serve as a substitute for medical advice.”
“And one potential strategy for mitigating our risk for Alzheimer's disease as we age is a "cognoscopy" – a battery of assessments that measures some of the key biomarkers associated with the disease and can inform the trajectory of treatment.”
“Traditional vaccines take many years to develop. A recent innovation in vaccine technology involves exploitation of messenger RNA, or mRNA, to facilitate rapid scaling of vaccines and expedite their modification if the virus mutates significantly.”
“Poor sleep reduces the body's insulin sensitivity and changes a person's appetite, increasing the preference for high carbohydrate foods like pizza, pasta, and sweets. Lack of sleep also alters the gut microbiota and impairs immunity, putting us at risk for developing acute illnesses like colds and flu.”
“In the setting of COVID-19, vitamin D deficiency drives poor outcomes. Treating patients with calcifediol, a prescription vitamin D analog, might be more effective at increasing vitamin D to therapeutic levels.”
