“This work provides a detailed explanation of why sex hormone-binding globulin is a sensitive biomarker of metabolic syndrome and why simple sugars, especially fructose, decrease fertility. Link to full report.”

“Previous research demonstrates the efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation in treating infection with Clostridium difficile, a hospital-acquired infection that is difficult to treat with antibiotics, and a growing list of other diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, metabolic syndrome, neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., autism), and autoimmune diseases.”

“Alcohol only somewhat disrupts overall electrolyte imbalance, but does cause metabolic acidosis — a potentially life threatening decrease in blood pH. Ethanol metabolism: Ethanol metabolism produces reactive oxygen species that cause oxidative stress in the mitochondria and central nervous system.”

“Consumption of highly processed foods has increased dramatically in recent decades (now representing over 57 percent of daily calories), alongside rates of inflammatory bowel disease and metabolic syndrome.”

“Frailty is a syndrome that commonly manifests in older adults. It carries an increased risk for poor health outcomes including falls, disability, hospitalization, and death. A key driver in the development of frailty is inflammation, which often accompanies diet-induced changes in the gut microbiota.”

“The randomized, crossover, controlled trial, which involved 23 men and women (average age, 44 years) who were overweight or obese and had been diagnosed with prediabetes and/or metabolic syndrome, compared the effects of two dietary patterns on insulin sensitivity and cardiometabolic risk markers.”

“Sauna use is associated with reduced risk for a wide range of age-related conditions, including cardiovascular disease, metabolic dysfunction, and neurodegenerative disease. Evidence from a new study suggests that infrared sauna use reduces frailty in older adults.”

“Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), an intestinal disorder characterized by abdominal pain, bloating, and alternating episodes of diarrhea and constipation, affects as many as 14 percent of people living in the United States.”

“Visceral fat – body fat that is stored in the abdominal cavity in close proximity to important internal organs such as the liver, pancreas, and intestines – plays a central role in the interrelationship between obesity and systemic inflammation.”

“Creatine supplementation is beginning to demonstrate potential benefits for cardiometabolic health, including improved vascular function and metabolic parameters, which can be particularly relevant for individuals managing cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or metabolic syndrome.”
