Photobiomodulation is a non-invasive, light-based therapeutic technique that stimulates biological processes within cells and tissues, with potential applications in medicine, dentistry, cosmetic procedures, and scientific research.

“In laboratory tests, the redesigned factors produced more than 50-fold higher expression of stem-cell reprogramming markers than wild-type controls and generated stable induced pluripotent stem cell lines across multiple donors and delivery methods.”

“Omega-3 is not a treatment for COVID-19. However, interesting preliminary research shows some correlation between omega-3 blood levels and the severity of COVID-19 disease. In this clip, Dr. Bill Harris discusses both the correlative evidence and the in silico data suggesting that omega-3 DHA may hamper SARS-CoV-2's ability to bind to the ACE2 receptor.”

“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.”

“Scientists have also identified interesting links between depression and obesity – likely mediated by elevated inflammation, since fat cells produce a wide array of inflammatory factors. In this Aliquot segment, psychiatrist Dr. Charles Raison describes the links between inflammation and depression.”

“A common feature of heart disease is arrhythmia, an irregular heartbeat. Interestingly, research in fruit flies has shown that unhealthy lifestyle behaviors, such as poor sleep and diet, increase the risk of developing arrhythmias.”

“In addition, exercise preferentially causes the brain to take up lactate. Dr. Attia discusses some interesting research from several decades ago that uncovered the shifts in metabolism that occur in the human body and brain upon extreme fasting.”

“Activity in the default mode network (DMN), a group of interacting brain regions implicated in self-related thinking, rumination, and depression, is suppressed by psilocybin and other psychedelic substances.”

“When starting a ketogenic diet, it is important to track macronutrients, calories, and relevant biomarkers. Dr. D'Agostino notes that breath acetone is a suitable way to measure ketones if you are interested in fat loss since all the carbons in breath acetone derive from fat molecules.”

“Interestingly, mice that are fed on an intermittent fasting schedule adjust to their restricted regimen and, in the end, tend to weigh as much as mice fed on a normal schedule, but they exhibit many of the physiological responses – including induction of autophagy – as calorie-restricted mice.”
