There are numerous claims about what supports longevity and healthspan, and it can be difficult to discern what is real from what is hype in this overheated field. That is why we’ve made The Science and Practice of Healthy Aging the theme of the 2nd annual Nutrition & Supplementation in Clinical Care (NSCC) Conference, which […]
The Metabolic Vulnerability Index (MVX) is a revolutionary new algorithmic test that quantifies six key biomarkers — small HDL particles, GlycA, branched-chain amino acids (valine, leucine, isoleucine) and citrate—each highly predictive of poor cardiometabolic outcomes. Combined into a single Index score from 1 to 100, the MVX identifies drivers of poor health often years before […]
Analysis of fecal samples from 412 infants across the US shows that 19% of vaginally-born babies, and 35% of those born via C-section completely lack Bifidobacterium species in their gut microbiomes. A shocking 92% of the infants, regardless of birth mode, lack B. infantis, a predominant beneficial bacterium found in children living in rural non-industrial […]
Join resbiotic’s Kara Siedman, RDN, CDCES, for a science-driven look at the Gut–X Axis—an emerging framework that highlights the gut microbiome’s influence on the lungs, digestive system, and metabolism. This session will cover how dysbiosis and microbial metabolites drive systemic inflammation and chronic disease, with a focus on gut-lung and gut-metabolic crosstalk. Rooted in the […]
(This article was adapted for Holistic Primary Care from “5 Myths About Olive Oil on Dr. Kara Fitzgerald’s website). 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 […]
This webinar and clinical panel discussion explores lactoferrin—a multifunctional regulatory protein found in breast milk—and how effera™, the first human-equivalent lactoferrin, is reshaping clinical approaches to gut health, immune support, iron regulation, and nutrient absorption. Food scientist Laura Katz, will introduce the concept of human bioactive compounds, explain lactoferrin’s mechanisms of action, and share new clinical […]
GLP-1 receptor agonists are transforming clinical practices and protocols for significant weight-health wins. In this free webinar, you will learn the science behind a clinically-proven natural GLP-1 activator called Calocurb, and how it can be used with and without prescription medications. You’ll discover a supplement derived from hops, and clinically shown to reduce cravings by […]
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 […]
GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic and Wegovy have rapidly become some of the most widely prescribed drugs for weight loss and metabolic disorders. While they can sometimes be valuable aids in helping people normalize their weight and their glucose metabolism, the mechanism of action for these drugs can have some unhealthy consequences. Many people are […]
Imagine if there were a drug that could reduce risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease by roughly 40%, without any adverse effects. Even better, people would only need to take it 2 or 3 times per week to obtain these preventive benefits. It turns out there is such a thing. It’s called broccoli. People who […]
