Dr. Terry Wahls discusses the nutrition protocol she used to reverse her secondary-progressive multiple sclerosis.

“The aggregate of these exposures is referred to as the "exposome" – the totality of non-genetic exposures that a person experiences during a lifetime – and includes nutritional, environmental, microbial, financial, and emotional factors.”

“A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that there's a correlation between nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management and having longer telomeres. Identifying the mechanisms that drive these correlations has proven challenging, but a few candidates stand out, including improvements in immune function and metabolic health.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick answers audience questions on various health, nutrition, and science topics in this Q&A session.

“The conversion of glucoraphanin to sulforaphane in broccoli sprouts requires myrosinase, an enzyme co-located within the leaves, stems, and other components of the plants. Food preparation techniques like freezing or cooking can either enhance or hinder maximal sulforaphane production from the sprouts.”

“Muscle disuse atrophy, or muscle wasting, poses serious risks, particularly for older adults, promoting irreversible muscle loss, frailty, and disease. Rebuilding muscle relies on proper nutrition and exercise, but aging reduces the body's response to both.”

“They also had fatty livers and showed signs of changes in their pancreatic tissues. More of the offspring born to the mice that ate the high-fat, high-sugar diet died during the lactation period due to poor maternal mammary gland development and diminished milk protein production.”

“This Aliquot exposes many of my latest thoughts on a variety of nutrition-oriented topics, highlighting my dietary choices and the supplements I'm either for or against, including PQQ, omega-3s, calcium, and vitamins D and K.”

“From the chemistry of synthetic vanillin to the regulatory loopholes behind GRAS labeling, we explore how these additives can influence health—not just through potential toxicity, but by activating the brain's reward system in ways that may affect behavior.”

“Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune neurodegenerative disorder that destroys myelin, the insulating layer that surrounds neurons. The causes of MS are complex and may arise from both genetic and environmental factors, including nutritional deficiencies.”
