“This reduction in CRP was comparable to those achieved with statins (cholesterol-lowering drugs). Interestingly, the study identified a strong link between obesity and elevated CRP levels.”

“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.”

“Caffeine is the world's most popular psychoactive drug. Often considered harmless, its influence on sleep can be more disruptive than many realize. A recent study found that while a modest amount of caffeine had little effect on sleep, large amounts of caffeine—roughly the amount in four cups of coffee—reduced deep sleep by 21 minutes when consumed within 12 hours of bedtime.”

“Some studies have demonstrated that the microbes that inhabit the human gut contribute to the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes, but the use of anti-diabetes drugs like metformin may have confounded the results due to their impact on the gut.”

“On December 18, 2020, the Food and Drug Administration granted emergency use authorization for the Moderna mRNA vaccine against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. In recent weeks, however, variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus have emerged, raising questions about the vaccine's efficacy.”

“Research shows that the fasting-mimicking diet creates a hostile microenvironment for cancer cells, sensitizing them to chemotherapy drugs and promoting cell death while preserving healthy cells.”

“While lifestyle behaviors can be beneficial in treating these disorders, drugs are often the primary treatment choice. A recent review found that physical activity reduced symptoms of depression by as much as 43 percent.”

“They also showed that serotonin depletion impairs vagal nerve activity, in turn reducing hippocampal activity and driving neurocognitive dysfunction. Giving the mice a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI, a drug that promotes serotonin uptake in the gut) improved their cognitive function.”

“Evidence suggests they help treat addiction, prevent seizures in certain seizure disorders, and reduce inflammation. A new study in mice shows that cannabinoids relieve pain as effectively as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) while also promoting bone fracture healing.”

“By offering a safe and non-stimulant alternative, this approach could help address the needs of children who do not respond well to conventional ADHD drugs. Listen as Dr. Andrew Huberman describes how behavioral tools and supplements may replace ADHD medications.”
