“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.”
“Imagine a drug that improves sleep, reduces stress, sharpens focus, and boosts mood—without cost or side effects. That "drug" is light. Natural light is more than just illumination; it's a potent regulator of our body's internal clock, driving critical processes like hormone release and sleep-wake cycles.”
“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.”
“Air pollution leaves a biological fingerprint on our lungs, our blood vessels, and even our brains, eroding the body's defenses, triggering inflammation, weakening the blood-brain barrier, and accelerating cognitive decline.”
“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.”
“It suggests that when the body runs low on essential vitamins or minerals, it doesn't distribute them evenly. Instead, it prioritizes urgent survival tasks, like keeping the heart beating or clotting blood, over long-term maintenance, such as repairing DNA or defending against oxidative damage.”
“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.”
