“However, newer antidiabetes drugs may mitigate this risk. A recent study found that people taking the antidiabetes drugs semaglutide or tirzepatide were 37% less likely to develop dementia than those taking other diabetes medications.”

“Suppression of insulin with a ketogenic diet improves the efficacy of cancer drugs known as PI3K inhibitors and shrinks tumors in several different animal models of cancer. Insulin activates the PI3K pathway is usually which then leads to cell proliferation and tumor growth.”

“Results from human studies suggest that sugar and sweetness can induce cravings that are comparable in magnitude to those induced by addictive drugs such as alcohol and nicotine.”

“Drugs that should not be taken during breastfeeding include anticancer drugs, lithium, oral retinoids, iodine, amiodarone, and gold salts. Evidence indicates that some drugs, such as "social drugs," including alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, and cannabis, carry some risk to the infant.”

“However, the mice that received cocaine + cannabidiol showed a reduced preference for the cocaine-associated environment after drug cessation and exhibited greater gut microbial diversity, with more beneficial microbes and fewer harmful ones.”

“Research from epigenetics expert Steve Horvath is the first to demonstrate the reversal of epigenetic aging and immunosenescence of the thymus with drug therapy. Nine participants between the ages of 51 and 65 years were given a drug protocol that included recombinant human growth hormone to reverse signs of immunosenescence.”

“Liraglutide is a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA), a type of drug used to treat type 2 diabetes, overweight, and obesity. GLP-1RA medications work in the pancreas to lower blood glucose levels by promoting the production and release of insulin.”

“One reason may be FGF21. FGF21 – a hormone produced during vigorous exercise – prevents cravings for alcohol and animal studies suggest it may even be used as a drug to treat excessive alcohol use. In this short video, I discuss...”

“AI-designed drugs could open a new path toward treatments that slow or reverse aspects of human aging. Researchers investigated whether rentosertib, developed to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (a lung-scarring disease), could also affect age-related biological changes.”

“However, treatment with pioglitazone (an anti-diabetes drug) restores magnesium levels, pointing to the bidirectional relationship between magnesium and diabetes. Athletic performance Magnesium may enhance athletic performance via its roles in energy production, muscle function, electrolyte balance, and blood glucose homeostasis.”
