“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.”
“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.”
“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'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.”
“In this Aliquot, along with Dr. Eran Elinav, I explore how gluten affects the gut barrier, who actually needs to avoid it, and the practical strategies that can help you build a more resilient gut.”
“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.”
“Because some long-chain PFAS travel through a similar pathway, researchers are now asking whether beta-glucans might also help the body eliminate these persistent "forever chemicals."”
