A 2022 study published in The New England Journal of Medicine has yielded groundbreaking results after a monoclonal antibody successfully eradicated rectal cancer in all enrolled patients, ushering them into complete remission without resorting to chemotherapy, radiation, or surgical interventions. Dr. Andrea Cercek, one of the lead researchers, said, “It’s absolutely incredible. We didn’t expect it. We’ve certainly never seen this before. It’s really what, you know, cancer doctors’ dreams are made of to see a response like this. Such incredible efficacy with really, almost no toxicity ..read more

The video below features a lecture by Rhonda Patrick Ph.D., a cell biologist and cofounder of FoundMyFitness, at the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine Longevity Fest in 2023. In it, she reviews key nutrients and health habits that have been shown to delay biological aging and improve health span. As noted by Patrick: “You don't have to move mountains to make a big impact on aging. Starting with a few key areas of focus can make a big difference.” The Importance of Vitamin D Beyond its status as a vitamin, vitamin D also functions as a steroid hormone that interacts with DNA to regulat ..read more

A keto diet can provide almost instant relief for certain symptoms and sometimes can even lead to rapid weight loss. While many may experience short-term benefits, there are long-term consequences of low-carb diets that can make your health worse than before you started. This article will address just two concerns of making your body rely on gluconeogenesis (the backup pathway to make the body produce its own carbs internally when we do not consume enough dietarily). But first — addressing some common arguments for low-carb.Temporary Symptom Suppression Versus True Healing The removal of an e ..read more

Better diagnoses. Personalised support for patients. Faster drug discovery. Greater efficiency. Artificial intelligence (ai) is generating excitement and hyperbole everywhere, but in the field of health care it has the potential to be transformational. In Europe analysts predict that deploying ai could save hundreds of thousands of lives each year; in America, they say, it could also save money, shaving $200bn-360bn from overall annual medical spending, now $4.5trn a year (or 17% of gdp). From smart stethoscopes and robot surgeons to the analysis of large data sets or the ability to chat to a ..read more

If you're looking for a way to decrease your risk of developing coronary heart disease, stroke and Type 2 diabetes, research has revealed profound results from starting a simple new habit: consuming an extra 100 milligrams (mg) of magnesium via your food on a daily basis. Researchers at Zhejiang University and Zhengzhou University in China found that more than 1 million people across nine countries who consumed the most magnesium tested out with a 10% lower risk of coronary heart disease, a 12% lower stroke risk and a 26% lower risk of Type 2 diabetes. Regarding the research, which was publi ..read more

Numerous studies show that dietary energy restriction is a general metabolic therapy that naturally lowers circulating glucose levels and significantly reduces the growth and progression of numerous tumor types, including cancers of the breast, brain, colon, pancreas, lung, and prostate. (245-251) An impressive body of evidence indicates that dietary energy restriction can retard the growth rate of many tumors regardless of the specific genetic defects expressed within the tumor. (245-251) Hyperglycemia with high insulin levels is associated with tumor recurrence. (58, 252) Sugar sweetened bev ..read more

David Sinclair, Ph.D., A.O. is a Professor in the Department of Genetics and co-Director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research at Harvard Medical School. Tests in 2022 (R) showed he has a biological age of 42 in a body born 53 years ago. Dr. David Sinclair certainly does not seem his age. His peers this age may already have gray to white hairs, complain of lower back pain, or been afflicted with health disorders, but not him. Dr. David Sinclair’s main research interest is the epigenetics of aging, with a focus on epigenetic reprogramming of aging (e.g. via Yamana ..read more

Dementia is the name for a group of symptoms associated with an ongoing decline of brain functioning. It can affect memory, thinking skills and other mental abilities. Do Vitamins and Supplements Help With Alzheimer's? This practical guide on brain health supplements is based on a comprehensive review of over 500 scientific references and supporting studies. It explores the latest science-backed nutritional interventions for promoting brain health. A 2023 scientific review published in the peer-reviewed journal Nutrients discusses the role of micronutrients in neurological disord ..read more

Heart disease is the No. 1 cause of death in the U.S., killing one person every 33 seconds (CDC 2023). Your diet plays a prominent role in your heart health, but the role of individual micronutrients continues to be debated.  Oxidized blood lipids refer to fats in the bloodstream that have undergone oxidation, a process in which molecules lose electrons. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, commonly known as “bad” cholesterol, can become oxidized due to various factors, including smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, and high levels of other reactive substances in the body. When ..read more

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin with potent antioxidant activity that helps combat damaging free radicals. It also plays a role in the making of red blood cells, helps your body use vitamin K (which is important for heart health1) and is involved in your immune function and cell signaling. As with many other nutrients, many do not get enough of this basic micronutrient from their diet. In the U.S. alone, 75% to 90% of the population fails to reach the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of vitamin E.2,3 The RDA for people over the age of 14 is 15 milligrams of vitamin E per day, but mo ..read more
