“GLP-1 therapy is promising but preliminary for epigenetic aging, especially because weight loss, inflammation reduction, and improved metabolic health may all contribute to clock changes.”

“This disorder causes inflammation in the brain and other tissues driving chronic conditions such as Alzheimer's and cardiovascular diseases. In this Aliquot, we discuss some of the dietary and lifestyle factors that may prevent leaky gut.”

“Dr. Patrick describes strategies you can apply immediately to enhance cellular health, protect the nervous system, elevate mood, reduce inflammation, promote muscle and bone function, and help prevent chronic disease.”

“Obesity promotes inflammation and elevated levels of the hormones estrogen and insulin, which may lead to an increased risk of breast cancer. Acting as growth factors, both estrogen and insulin can promote tumor cell growth, as well as undermine the innate defense system that removes damaged cells from the body.”

“Coordination of meal timing with the circadian rhythm can reduce markers of inflammation and affect aspects of metabolic health, including glucose regulation and insulin sensitivity. Animal studies suggest that overnight fasting induces autophagy.”

“Reducing chronic inflammation and promoting its resolution continue to be key factors. Dr. Bill Harris highlights a new and interesting area of inquiry — the role omega-3s play in altering fundamental red blood cell biology.”

“For example, EPA and DHA play particularly important roles in heart health because they participate in pathways involved in the production of hormones that regulate blood clotting and inflammation, help maintain healthy heart rhythms, and influence the contraction and relaxation of arteries.”

“A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that both fasting and the body's circadian rhythms are factors in the body's ability to repair DNA damage. Periods without eating can enable the body to rest and clear away damaged cells, which secrete compounds that contribute to inflammation.”

“Antibody-dependent enhancement, or ADE, is a phenomenon that occurs when low quality, low quantity, non-neutralizing antibodies bind to virus particles and, rather than neutralizing the virus, increase inflammation and tissue injury.”

“Within days of eliminating refined sugar, biomarkers of inflammation decrease markedly, and blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels improve. Risk of type 2 diabetes drops by nearly 25 percent.”
