“Other research suggests that during aerobic exercise, profound molecular changes occur that enhance the production of beneficial cytokines and other factors that support immune health. Learn more about the effects of exercise on immunity in this clip featuring Dr. Michael Snyder. Read study abstract.”

“Future studies are needed to assess the treatment's effectiveness in humans. Learn more about genetic engineering in this episode featuring Dr. George Church. Read study abstract.”

“Interestingly, another study found that the risk of developing mild hearing loss was nearly 30 percent lower among people who adhered to healthy dietary patterns such as the DASH diet or the Mediterranean diet, suggesting that diet may play a role in preventing mild hearing loss.”

“These findings suggest that neuronal activity induced by an acute stressor can drive stem cell loss and illustrate how overall mental and physical health influence stem cell health. Link to study abstract. Listen to this podcast about buffering the negative effects of stress with meditation.”

“This analysis demonstrates that nutrition plays important roles in maintaining cardiovascular and metabolic health and supports the findings of large, epidemiological studies that have demonstrated that adherence to dietary patterns that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, folic acid, and CoQ10, such as the Mediterranean Diet, for example, improves cardiometabolic health. Read study abstract.”

“These findings suggest that poor sleep that accompanies aging may be due to intrinsic changes in the number and activity of hypocretin-producing neurons, providing potential targets for sleep therapies in the future. Learn about some of the effects of age-related sleep loss in this episode featuring Dr. Matthew Walker. Link to study abstract.”

“These findings suggest that vitamin C might be able to decrease inflammation to a similar magnitude as some statins in people at a higher risk of cardiovascular disease based on CRP levels. Link to study abstract.”

“The authors also pointed out that hormonal differences (such as higher estrogen levels in women) and sociocultural factors influence the differential COVID-19 risk profiles among men and women. They posited that repurposing drugs that affect ACE2, such as ACE2 inhibitors and ACE2 receptor blockers may be useful in treating COVID-19. Link to review abstract.”

“Taken together, these data suggest that sleep – especially deep sleep – is not only important for the prevention of Alzheimer's disease but also may be key in the treatment of TBI. Link to study abstract. Link to relevant podcast.”

“No treatments for COVID-19 currently exist, however. Findings from a recent study in human airway cells and in mice suggest that EIDD-2801, an experimental antiviral drug, might be useful in preventing or treating the lung damage associated with COVID-19.”
