Microbiome research is really opening doors in our understanding of devastating diseases.

A new study reveals that gut bacteria may play a key role in triggering ALS and frontotemporal dementia. Harmful sugars produced by these microbes can spark immune responses that damage the brain. This breakthrough explains why some genetically at-risk people develop the diseases while others don’...

Happy to see the dyslipidemia guidelines being updated to match what science has been showing for over a decade. Lp(a) matters and is a genetic risk factor. ApoB is the carrier of unhealthy lipids in our blood.

If you need help fitting these changes in your lifestyle, I’m happy to assist

Prolon 5 day fast mimicking on occasion is also highly beneficial-ask me how to start.
Reduces biological age by 2.5 years & autophagy research is strong

Accurate statement. Norwegian VO2 max training study recently showed sedentary 50 year olds could take 20 years aging off their heart by doing 4 min intense bursts, 3 min recovery, repeat 4 times. Any movement is good movement!
