“Many probiotic supplements contain insufficient numbers of bacteria to elicit a beneficial response and many are not stored properly to maintain the viability of the bacteria they supposedly contain. In this clip, Drs.”

“In the five-year Generation 100 trial, adults ages 70 to 77 completed supervised high-intensity interval training or moderate continuous training, demonstrating that structured vigorous exercise can be feasible in older populations when it is introduced progressively and matched to health and fitness.”

“While no data suggest that sauna use has a direct effect on acute COVID-19 infection, there's a convincing argument that sauna use promotes broader changes in immune function that may bolster defense in a contextually beneficial way.”

“Evidence indicates that sauna use reduces the risk of developing pneumonia, possibly due to its ability to increase immune cells and heat shock proteins. Heat shock proteins activate the innate immune system and inhibit influenza viral replication.”

“Antibiotic therapy is commonly used to eradicate the bacterium, but sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate compound derived from broccoli, has been shown to reduce H. pylori populations markedly, and may offer a more cost-effective means of treating H.”

“The inclusion of active myrosinase is critical in clinical trials because although myrosinase-producing gut bacteria can convert unhydrolyzed glucosinolates to their cognate isothiocyanates, the conversion rate is highly variable and subject to interindividual differences in gut bacteria populations.”

“The pivotal role fiber plays in fueling good bacteria in the gut that act like "miniature drug factories" which produce compounds that regulate the immune system by increasing the number of T regulatory cells, which are specialized types of immune cells that keep the immune system in check and prevent autoimmune responses.”

“Exposure to environmental toxins – in the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe – is largely unavoidable. But monitoring our exposures and implementing diet and lifestyle strategies can help mitigate the risks associated with toxic exposures. In this Aliquot, Dr. Dale Bredesen, Dr. Michael Snyder, and I discuss ways to deal with our increasingly toxic environment.”

“Although many supplement manufacturers do not take steps to preserve the integrity of their products and some have made misleading claims about their products' efficacy, a few reputable manufacturers produce quality supplements that have been used in clinical trials.”

“Air pollution leaves a biological fingerprint on our lungs, our blood vessels, and even our brains, eroding the body's defenses, triggering inflammation, weakening the blood-brain barrier, and accelerating cognitive decline.”
