If the new Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) 2025-2030 report has taught us anything so far, it’s that people love to argue about food as much as they love to argue about politics. And given that the Guidelines–jointly issued on January 7, by the Department of Health & Human Services and the Department of Agriculture—is […]
GLP-1–based therapies, including glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (e.g., semaglutide), dual incretin agonists (e.g. tirzepatide), and forthcoming GLP-1–modulating drugs like retatrutide, have rapidly reshaped the clinical management of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiometabolic disease. In less than a decade, these drugs have moved from the weight management and endocrinology niches to much wider use in […]
It takes gumption to cold-call the co-discoverer of the DNA double helix and ask him if he’d be willing to take a look at the anti-cancer potential of a food-derived natural product. David Wales and Rick Jahnke, the co-founders of American BioSciences, did just that back in August 2009, when they emailed James Watson, chancellor […]
Extensive research over the past several decades has revealed a dynamic connection between the gut and the bones. It turns out that bone health and strength is closely tied to the health of the digestive system. Gastrointestinal disorders contribute to the development of osteoporosis and, by extension, risk of fractures. This line of research suggests […]
For overweight people, diet-based weight loss interventions are a critical factor in restoring health. But dieting alone without concurrent exercise—which is the reality for many—results in loss of skeletal muscle along with the fat. And that can be very problematic. Some studies indicate that loss of fat-free mass (aka muscle) accounts for between 25%–30% of […]
Modern life keeps our foot glued to the sympathetic gas pedal—creating a spiral of stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial breakdown. In this free webinar, Dr. Scott Sherr explores how clinicians can break that “Sympathetic Spiral of Doom” by restoring mitochondrial redox balance with methylene blue and rebalancing the nervous system through targeted GABAergic modulation. We’ll examine […]
Assessing and treating cognitive dysfunction is a challenge. The problems can show up in myriad ways, with multiple potential causes. Cognitive impairment is often connected with, and reflective of, disease and dysfunction in other organ systems. Though surveys consistently show that many people worry about developing dementia, individual patients may not always be forthright about […]
“Brain Health” is one of the largest and fastest growing segments of the natural healthcare industry. Americans will spend close to $1.5 billion on cognition-related products by the end of this year, according to Nutrition Business Journal (NBJ). Globally, the market for brain health products is projected to grow from its current $8.2 billion, to […]
If we have any chance of mitigating the rising tide of Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, it’s going to be via diet and lifestyle interventions, not expensive but minimally effective prescription drugs. Fortunately, there is a swell of new data to support the notion that nutrition-based interventions can slow the progression of dementia, and […]
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 […]
