“In humans, an analysis of 6,482 US adults associated higher fiber intake with lower serum concentrations of several persistent PFAS chemicals; the observational result does not prove that fiber caused clearance. Sauna is a different pathway, not a substitute for fiber.”

“A wide array of toxicants, including heavy metals, such as cadmium and mercury; bisphenol A; polychlorinated biphenyls; and phthalate compounds, bioaccumulate in the human body. An individual's toxic burden may contribute to their poor metabolic function, inflammation, and cognitive dysfunction.”
Episode
“Removing former drinkers from the non-drinker category reveals a different story: One study observed that the lowest risk for cardiovascular disease (i.e., ischemic heart disease) was right below one standard U.S. drink per week — men and women at this level of consumption had an ~18% lower risk compared to nondrinkers.”
“In this Aliquot, Drs. Axel Montagne, Matthew Walker, Mark Mattson, Valter Longo, Peter Attia, and I discuss the risks associated with high blood pressure and describe some of the many ways lifestyle can help achieve and maintain healthy blood pressure.”
“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 explain exactly what homocysteine is, how it impacts both cardiovascular and brain health, and how simple nutritional strategies—like supplementing with vitamins B6, B12, and methylfolate—can help bring levels down, supporting healthy aging and sharper cognitive function.”
“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.”
“But exercise — especially intense exercise — can also help to manage the symptoms once the disease develops. These Aliquot segments feature Dr. Giselle Petzinger, a board-certified neurologist who specializes in the care of patients with Parkinson's disease.”
“The decline of deep sleep begins early in life, nearly disappears by age 80, increasing the risk for Alzheimer's disease. These Aliquot segments feature Dr. Charles Raison, a professor of psychiatry, and Dr. Matthew Walker, a professor of neuroscience and psychology.”
“Statins can reduce the risk of heart disease by 30 to 40 percent due to their ability to increase LDL receptor activity and reduce blood cholesterol levels. Whether the drugs are overprescribed (or perhaps under-prescribed) is a matter of great debate.”
