“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.”
“Sodium keeps our hearts beating, our muscles moving, and our nerves firing—but it's also one of the most debated nutrients in health. While sodium is essential for survival, too much or too little can tip the scales toward problems like high blood pressure or fatigue.”
“Some studies suggest cheese may lower the risk of dementia and heart disease, despite its saturated fat content—raising questions about the effects of food structure, fermentation, and individual differences in metabolism.”
“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 Part I of this three-part Aliquot series, creatine expert Dr. Darren Candow and I examine creatine through the lens of two critical systems—muscle and bone—and unpack how creatine supplementation affects muscle quality, physical function, and even skeletal health, particularly in older adults.”
“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 Aliquots #131 and #133, leading researcher Dr. Darren Candow and I examined creatine's benefits for muscle quality, physical function, skeletal health, and brain resilience, especially 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.”
“The different stages of sleep provide crucial periods during which the body recalibrates to promote both mental and physical well-being. In this clip, Dr. Matthew Walker describes how the different stages of sleep influence emotional and cardiovascular health.”
