Mangos Improve Insulin Sensitivity In People at Risk for Diabetes

By Janet Gulland, Contributing Writer

Mangos. They’re cheery, packed with vitamin C and other nutrients, and though they’re quite sweet, they can improve insulin sensitivity in people at risk of type 2 diabetes. That’s the upshot of a recent clinical trial from researchers at the Clinical Nutrition Research Center at the Illinois Institute of Technology. Katherine Pett and colleagues studied […]

Telomeres at the Crossroads of Neurological Health & Metabolic Syndrome

By Erik Goldman

Join us for an in-depth exploration of how telomere biology is reshaping our understanding of aging-related conditions. In this free webinar, Dr. Gordon Crozier—a renowned practitioner of integrative medicine and genetics-based healthcare—explains how telomeres influence cellular metabolism and genomic stability. The gradual shortening of these protective caps at the ends of chromosomes has been linked […]

Clearing Up Misconceptions About Olive Oil

By Artemis Morris, ND, LAc

There is an old Cretan saying: “Το λάδι είναι το αίμα της γης.” It means, “Olive oil is the blood of the earth.” That tells us a lot, about both the inherent richness of olive oil, and the importance that it had—and continues to have—in the lives of the people of Crete, and throughout the Mediterranean. Olive […]

The Gut-GLP-1 Connection: The role of Akkermansia & other novel probiotic strains in satiety and cravings

By Erik Goldman

Akkermansia muciniphila, a key player in the gut microbiome, has emerged as a significant influencer of GLP-1, a hormone with profound implications for metabolic health. Learn from Adam Perlman, MD, MPH, Chief Medical Officer of Pendulum Therapeutics, about the latest research uncovering the impact of A. muciniphila, C.butyricum, B.infantis and other novel microbial strains on GLP-1 signaling, satiety, cravings, […]

Folic Acid: Too Much of a Good Thing?

By Gil Winkelman, ND, Contributing Writer

It is time to rethink how we’re using folate, and its derivatives, methylfolate and folinic acid. Recent research suggests that people who routinely take more than 1000 μg of folic acid per day may be at increased risk of cognitive decline, asthma, impaired immune function, and certain types of cancer (Fardous AM, et al. Nutrients. […]

A Good Relationship Gone Bad: Recognizing & Restoring Health in GI Candidiasis

By Erik Goldman

Candida is a commensal microorganism living in the digestive tract of the vast majority of our patients. For most, it causes no harm. But certain common lifestyle factors and medication exposures promote overgrowth of Candida species, leading to a fungal-predominant dysbiosis with sometimes severe systemic symptoms. Candidal overgrowth is often an important piece of the chronic illness […]

Be Alert for Drug-Induced Magnesium Depletions

By Meg Sinclair, Staff Writer

Be on the lookout for drug-induced magnesium depletions. That’s one of the major messages from a comprehensive new paper on the clinical impact of magnesium deficiencies recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Many of the most widely prescribed drugs, including diuretics, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), and certain antibiotics, can cause magnesium wasting. […]

Hibiscus & Lemon Verbena: Herbal Allies for BP Regulation

By Jonathan Jones, PhD, Contributing Writer

Hibiscus sabdariffa (hibiscus) and Lippia citriodora (lemon verbena) are two polyphenol-rich botanicals that, when combined, can act synergistically to regulate blood pressure. Oxidative stress, a key factor in the development and progression of hypertension, can lead to vascular damage and atherosclerosis. Mitigating oxidative stress is, therefore, an important aspect of managing hypertension. Natural polyphenols, like […]

The Latest Applications of Predictive Genomics in Longevity Medicine

By Erik Goldman

Risk assessment is a foundation of good clinical practice. Accurate and individualized risk prediction allows for informed decision-making, enhanced disease screening and personalized risk-reduction strategies for your patients. We’re all aware of the use of penetrant genes like BRCA1/2 as genomic markers for cancer susceptibility. But there is a lesser-known disease susceptibility indicator known as […]

Microplastics: A New Cardiovascular Risk Factor

By Erik Goldman, Editor

The presence of micro- or nano-plastic particles in carotid atheromas significantly raises the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, or death from any cause within 3 years. That’s the blunt conclusion of a new multi-center study headed by researchers at the Department of Advanced Medical & Surgical Science, University of Campania, Naples, and involving more than […]
