“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.”

“Asthma control improved more with MBSR: 32 percent achieved a clinically meaningful improvement, compared with 12 percent of controls, and the benefit remained evident four months later. MBSR also reduced fractional exhaled nitric oxide, a marker of airway inflammation.”

“Dr. Attia describes elevated homocysteine impairing clearance of ADMA and SDMA, which inhibit nitric-oxide synthase; Dr. Patrick’s family examples remain personal observations rather than general treatments.”

“But ultra-processing typically removes many nutrients while adding a plethora of chemicals meant to color, flavor, and preserve the food. In this Aliquot, I explain the science behind the risks associated with eating processed foods and offer advice on choosing healthier options.”

“But what does the science say? In this Aliquot, Dr. Jed Fahey and I discuss the pros and cons of eating meat as well as the confounding factors that may influence the risks associated with meat consumption.”

“In this Aliquot, Drs. Axel Montagne, Matthew Walker, Mark Mattson, Valter Longo, Peter Attia, and I discuss the risks associated with high blood pressure and describe some of the many ways lifestyle can help achieve and maintain healthy blood pressure.”

“Insulin resistance in the brain is implicated in Alzheimer’s disease and is one reason why some researchers refer to the condition as “Type 3 diabetes.” Melatonin has been shown to enhance beta-cell function (the beta-cells are insulin-producing cells in the pancreas) and reduce the burden of beta-amyloid plaques and tau hyperphosphorylation in the brain of diabetic rats.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick covers lithium microdosing, reducing homocysteine, aluminum's link to cancer, and beta-alanine and alpha-lipoic acid supplements.

“Standard metabolic screening still relies on validated laboratory measures such as A1c, fasting plasma glucose, or a two-hour glucose value after a standardized oral glucose tolerance test. Skin changes or unexpected glucose patterns can therefore be useful prompts for a clinical evaluation.”

“A small randomized trial in girls with low magnesium intake found greater hip bone-mineral accrual with magnesium oxide, but it does not prove that supplements prevent or reverse osteoporosis in adults. Magnesium interacts with other nutrients, including vitamin D.”
