“However, evidence indicates that ketones—a critical brain fuel produced during fasting or exercise—may help reduce or prevent this damage. A recent cell study found that beta-hydroxybutyrate, a type of ketone, helps protect the brain by targeting toxic proteins for disposal.”

“Topics include hair regrowth in androgenic alopecia, pain reduction in rheumatoid arthritis with notable results but occasional study design concerns and conflicts of interest, muscle endurance, post-exercise muscle recovery, wound healing, and skin wrinkling.”

“In this podcast, we discuss and critically analyze a recent headline-grabbing editorial that was published in the Annals of Internal Medicine that reviewed three studies on the topic of multivitamins and chronic disease prevention. We analyze the important shortcomings of the studies and talk about the mechanism.”

“Human trials suggest that alpha-lipoic acid can modestly improve selected lipid measures. A dose-response meta-analysis of 12 studies found reductions in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides across doses from 300 to 1,200 milligrams per day.”

“Several animal studies and a few human studies have found that sleep is important to activate the glymphatic system which uses cerebral spinal fluid to clear away amyloid plaques and other aggregates in the brain.”

“Amyloid-beta forms plaques in the brain and disrupts the synapses between neurons which can play a role in memory loss. Amyloid-beta aggregates are associated with Alzheimer's disease.”

“In this Aliquot, I explain exactly what homocysteine is, how it impacts both cardiovascular and brain health, and how simple nutritional strategies—like supplementing with vitamins B6, B12, and methylfolate—can help bring levels down, supporting healthy aging and sharper cognitive function.”

“Some large cohorts have associated higher egg or dietary-cholesterol intake with greater cardiovascular events or all-cause mortality, while a meta-analysis of prospective studies found no significant association between higher egg intake and overall cardiovascular events.”

“Small, inadequately designed clinical trials suggest that ivermectin, possibly in combination with other therapeutics might enhance viral clearance in some populations. However, more data is required before a drug can be repurposed and safely prescribed.”

“However, the high doses used in the study did not translate well to humans. An examination of several small clinical studies found that ivermectin showed some benefit, however the quality of the studies in the analysis has been called into question.”
