“As we age, our hair changes: It often turns gray and becomes finer, and it might even fall out—permanently. There are seemingly millions of hair care products available, and many of them contain chemicals that may harm our hair or, even worse, harm our health. In this Aliquot, I explore the various ways to prevent hair loss and promote healthy hair.”

“Mitochondria are best known for their energy-producing roles, but they also help regulate cellular metabolism, signaling, and apoptosis (programmed cell death). As a result, mitochondrial health is intrinsically linked to overall health.”

“Mitochondrial health and overall health are intrinsically linked. Identifying ways to boost mitochondrial biogenesis – the formation of new mitochondria – ensures that cells maintain an adequate number of mitochondria to meet their energy needs.”

“In Aliquot #131, The Muscle and Bone Benefits of Creatine, creatine expert Dr. Darren Candow and I discussed how creatine supplementation affects muscle quality, physical function, and even skeletal health, particularly in older adults.”

“In this Aliquot, I'll explore how to recognize and address iron deficiency, the unique challenges of iron overload in aging, the ways alcohol may influence brain iron, and how infants tightly regulate iron as a built-in defense against infection.”

“In this Aliquot, sleep scientist Dr. Michael Grandner explains why sleep apnea is so often missed, how these nightly breathing disturbances affect the body, and which treatments can meaningfully improve sleep and long-term health.”

“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.”

“Time-restricted eating, which involves taking in food within a small window of time during the day and fasting for the remainder, can improve certain biomarkers of health – even without weight loss – to improve overall health. In Part I of this two-part segment, Drs.”

“Insulin-like growth factor-1, or IGF-1 for short, is a protein that plays critical roles in major growth pathways in the human body. It influences nearly every tissue in the body, especially developmental growth, skeletal muscle and neurons.”

“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.”
