“This, in turn, activates the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-ß) signaling pathway, which drives a pro-inflammatory environment and compromises cognitive function. Roughly two-thirds of all adults over the age of 70 years have some degree of BBB dysfunction.”

“A recent study found that some gut bacteria can accumulate PFAS at intracellular levels thousands of times higher than those in the surrounding environment. Researchers exposed 38 strains of human gut bacteria to a range of PFAS, testing concentrations from nanomolar to 500 micromolar.”

“In other words, caffeine can patch, but it can't fully repair the damage from poor sleep. "Bubble wrap" your sleep environment Protecting sleep from small disturbances often pays big dividends in next-day performance.”

“A new study suggests that exposure to Acinetobacter bacteria early in life provides protection against inflammatory disorders and allergies. Acinetobacter bacteria are ubiquitous in the environment and are commonly found in soil.”

“Global estimates indicate that more than half of all adults are either overweight or obese. Obesity carries many health risks because it impairs the body's immune response and creates a pro-inflammatory environment.”

“Probiotics are live microbes that, when consumed in the diet or in supplemental form, confer a health benefit to the host. Prebiotics are food components that support the maintenance of a healthy microbiota and create an environment that is conducive to its survival.”

“During cancer progression, CD8+ T cells can experience "exhaustion," a dysfunctional state caused by immune-related tolerance and immunosuppression in the environment surrounding the tumor. Researchers injected either lactate or glucose into mice that had cancer.”

“A new study in mice shows that oral bacteria over-stimulate microglia, impairing their anti-amyloid properties. Researchers induced periodontal disease in mice by placing ligatures around their teeth, creating an environment conducive to bacterial growth.”

“However, the use of glyphosate has also been a subject of controversy due to concerns about its potential harm to human health and the environment. These findings suggest that herbicide exposure negatively influences neurobehavioral performance in teens.”

“00:40:45 - How naps might aid with afternoon sleepiness and sleep loss. 00:42:40 - How we can tailor our indoor lighting environment to promote healthy circadian rhythms. 00:46:55 - How time-restricted eating (eating within a narrow time range) can be beneficial.”
