Podcasts about blood brain barrier

Public health is a vital part of keeping all of us safe — but what does it mean, and where did the concept come from? Special guest host Naseem Jamnia breaks it down for us, and tells us about some fantasy stories that show why public health is a collective concern. Plus we talk to scientist Natsaha O'Brown at Rutgers University about all the discoveries we've made lately about the blood-brain barrier.

BUFFALO, NY — June 3, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Aging (Aging-US) on May 1, 2025, as the #cover of Volume 17, Issue 5, titled “Defining the hypoxic thresholds that trigger blood-brain barrier disruption: the effect of age.” In this study, researchers Arjun Sapkota, Sebok K. Halder, and Richard Milner from San Diego Biomedical Research Institute investigated how aging affects the brain's vulnerability to low oxygen, or hypoxia. Using C57BL/6J mice ranging from 2 to 23 months of age, they identified specific oxygen levels that disrupt the blood-brain barrier (BBB)—a critical structure that protects brain tissue from harmful substances. The findings are important for understanding age-related cognitive decline and the potential risks faced by individuals with chronic oxygen-limiting conditions such as asthma, sleep apnea, emphysema, and heart disease. The BBB is essential for maintaining brain health. In this study, mild and prolonged hypoxia—called chronic mild hypoxia—was found to compromise the BBB in mice. Older mice showed significantly more BBB disruption than younger ones. Notably, barrier weakening and blood vessel changes occurred at oxygen levels of just 15% in aged mice, compared to 13% in young mice. These data suggest that the aging brain is more sensitive to oxygen deprivation, even at levels that may be considered only mildly hypoxic. The researchers also determined when this vulnerability emerged. The BBB showed increased sensitivity to low oxygen not only in aged mice but also in mice as young as 2 to 6 months, with a second spike occurring between 12 and 15 months—equivalent to middle age in mice. These findings may reflect age-dependent changes in brain vascular function and remodeling capacity. “Hypoxia-induced endothelial proliferation was relatively constant across the age range, but advanced age strongly enhanced the degree of BBB disruption (4-6-fold greater in 23 months vs. 2 months old).” Another key focus was microglial activation, a sign of brain inflammation. Aged mice exhibited higher microglial activation across all oxygen levels, including normal conditions. Chronic microglial activation is closely linked to neuroinflammation and has been implicated in diseases such as Alzheimer's. While the rate of blood vessel formation was constant across ages, the degree of BBB disruption increased sharply with age, suggesting that repair mechanisms may weaken over time. These results may help explain why older adults with chronic hypoxia-related diseases are at higher risk for neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. The study also draws attention to the risks of high-altitude exposure for aging populations, where oxygen levels naturally drop. Altogether, these findings underscore the importance of protecting brain health in older individuals by managing oxygen exposure and reducing hypoxia-related risks. The researchers emphasize the need to develop new therapies that support blood-brain barrier integrity, particularly in aging populations exposed to chronic or intermittent low-oxygen conditions.

"In just one week, people taking Rhodiola felt less stressed, more focused, and mentally sharper." "Rhodiola was compared to the antidepressant sertraline, also known as Zoloft. While sertraline had stronger effects, Rhodiola had fewer side effects and was better tolerated." "Research shows Rhodiola may enhance memory and learning by helping neurons in the brain communicate better." "OPCs are antioxidants found in blueberries, grapes, and dark chocolate, and they help protect the brain while strengthening the blood-brain barrier." "One study found that drinking blueberry juice, which is rich in OPC flavanols, for 12 weeks improved working memory, blood flow to the brain, and cognitive performance in adults." "Ginkgo and ginseng act like stimulants without the side effects, and studies show they may help improve attention and dopamine levels in kids with ADHD." "Herbs are powerful, even though they're natural. They can interact with medications, so always consult a professional." "There is no one-size-fits-all approach.

Dr. Thomas Chen, Founder, CEO, and CSO of NeOnc Technologies, is working on the challenge of delivering drugs across the blood-brain barrier by using an intranasal delivery approach to target brain cancers. This delivery platform leverages the cranial nerve to transport the drugs directly to the brain, bypassing the blood-brain barrier. Genomic analysis of the long-surviving patients in the phase one trial revealed a common genetic mutation, informing the trial design for the next phase. Thomas explains, "So our platform is what we call intranasal delivery. And with the intranasal delivery, we're not trying to cross the blood-brain barrier. We're trying to cross over it. And how we're doing that is doing the delivery of the drug via what we call the C nerves. Now the cranial nerves are, we have 12 cranial nerves in our brain. These cranial nerves have various functions, but the cranial nerves involved with the nasal brain delivery are the first and the fifth cranial nerves. The first cranial nerve is what we call the olfactory nerve. That's the nerve that's responsible for smell. The fifth cranial nerve is called the trigeminal nerve, which involves facial sensation and allows us to chew."   "So what happens is that when we want to deliver the drug to the brain cancer, we have the patient inhale it. When the patient inhales, it goes through the nose, and through the olfactory nerve, it goes to the brain. Usually, that molecule then absorbs in the spinal brain and then circulates to the target, in this case, brain cancer. Now you know how powerful that cranial nerve is from the standpoint of what it does when you smell something, that scent, that odor gets transported from the olfactory nerve to our brain. And that's basically what we're doing. We're taking something external to the brain, allowing the cranial nerve to absorb and transport it to the brain." #NeOnc #BloodBrainBarrier #BBB #BrainCancer #DrugDelivery neonc.com Download the transcript here

Have you every wondered how exactly drugs are designed to access the brain? The answer usually revolves around one very important part of the central nervous system. The blood brain barrier is the layer of cells that protects the brain from pathogens while still allowing for the removal of toxins. From pain medications to ozempic, several drugs have been designed to get across this barrier in one way or another. In this episode, we are joined by an expert in the field and cover how the blood brain barrier works, how common drugs act on it, what can go wrong, and how you can leverage your own blood brain barrier. Dr. Sebastian Furness is from Adelaide and received his BSc(Hons) and PhD. from the University of Adelaide, in the biochemistry of gene regulation. He then did postdoctoral research on how blood stem cells regenerate all the different types of blood cells at the University of British Columbia in beautiful Vancouver before returning to Australia (this time in Melbourne) to work on the molecular functioning of an important class of drug targets called G protein-coupled Receptors. Sebastian won an ARC Future Fellowship, the most prestigious early-mid career fellowship for discovery scientists in Australia. This allowed him to develop his own research program where he moved to the University of Queensland, in sunny Brisbane. Sebastian runs a small lab that focusses on trying to understand the molecular-level details of how communication occurs between the gastrointestinal tract and brain. He teaches into undergraduate Biomedical Science and Pharmacy and enjoys communicating science in various forums, including “Pint of Science” and “The Conversation”.

Nearly everything toxic can end up at some point in time crossing the Blood Brain Barrier. Virtually every man-made toxin and poison on this planet can cross through the barrier, the sacred wall that mysteriously sits in our head. You go to the gas station, you start pumping gas into your tank and breathing in fumes, those fumes cross the Blood Brain Barrier. Or as you are driving an EV and are sitting on a very large battery and breathing in vapors that outgas off of car batteries, even if the battery is located in a different area of the car, small amounts of outgas occur over time and cross the Blood Brain Barrier. Everyday we get exposed from hundreds and hundreds of toxins. We get exposed to Pharmaceuticals, Toxic Heavy Metals, Pathogens, Pesticides, Herbicides, Fungicides, Solvents, Petrochemicals, Fragrances, Chemtrails and so much more, and as these exposures enter our bodies, they find a way to our brain by crossing the Blood Brain Barrier. We are led to believe it's very hard for any substance to cross the Blood Brain Barrier. We are told only certain pharmaceuticals can achieve crossing over the barrier purposely designed this way for our health, but it's so much more than what we are told.

Mark Litton, President and CEO of Athira Pharma, discusses advancements in treating neurodegenerative diseases, highlighting the challenges in treating these diseases. Athira's approach uses the body's natural repair mechanism to enhance the repair and protection of nerve cells.  Their lead molecule, fosgonimeton, enhances the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and crosses the blood-brain barrier to effectively target neurodegeneration. Mark explains, "At Athira, we're taking a completely novel approach where we're using the body's natural repair mechanism to help repair. We have spent many years designing molecules that enhance this mechanism. This is what we call the HGF/MET biology. This is a biology that has been known for over 30 years. It was originally discovered coming from the liver. What we know about it is that it's important in repairing, protecting, healing, and developing nerve cells." "What we found in a lot of neurodegenerative diseases is that this repair mechanism is impaired, or it slows down as we get older. One of the keys is you've got a molecule, and it's HGF, and then it binds its receptor, the MET receptor. When it binds that receptor, that's when the cell gets activated and starts repairing. There are numerous factors that happen along the way. There are two places one could enhance the receptor. We've decided to enhance the HGF, the protein itself, to help it bind to its receptor." #Athira #Alzheimers #Parkinsons #Dementia #ALS #AD #PD #NeurodegenerativeDiseases #Neurodegeneration #NeuronalHealth #Caregivers #PatientCommunity athira.com Download the transcript here

Weight loss can be a tricky thing for a lot of people because it is hormonal based.  If you want to lose weight there are 3 phases to doing it in a healthy way. The first phase is the transition to restore metabolism. Once that is established then the second phase is when the body starts losing weight. The third and final step is to maintain optimal health and keep the weight off. Dr. Armitstead explains in this podcast how your hormones will change in response to the nutrition and lifestyle changes that you'll make. Your body will also rebuild at the cellular level with nutrients that were not available during previous poor habits. The more damaged the current metabolism, the longer it will take for this process to be complete. Once someone has healed their metabolism, only then they are primed to lose fat and move on to phase two.  You will learn why some people take longer than others to lose weight.  Those that take the longest are said to be weight loss resistant. Resources:Berberine helps lower high blood pressure https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33461163/#:~:text=A%20proprietary%20nutraceutical%20containing%20berberine,dietary%20advice%20MCT oil and weight loss https://healingartsnyc.blogspot.com/2019/01/the-health-benefits-of-mct-oil.html

Why is GABA, a neurotransmitter that's vital for regulating our feelings, emotions, thoughts, and experiences, often overlooked in the world of neuroscience?    In this episode of the Biohacking Superhuman podcast, I ponder this question with Dr. Scott Sherr, a repeat guest, who unravels the mystery surrounding GABA's key role in our mental well-being. We venture into the complex labyrinth of the GABA system, elucidating its significance in controlling the firing of neurons, its connection to a leaky blood-brain barrier, and the implications for those of us entrenched in the hustle and bustle of life.   Dr. Sherr and I also put under the microscope the intriguing world of supplements and drugs. We peel back the layers on how they interact with the GABA system and the potential mental health risks they harbor. From the influences of alcohol, Xanax, barbiturates, and sleep drugs on the GABA system to natural alternatives, we left no stone unturned. Moreover, if you're on SSRIs, you might find our explorations on supporting the GABA system and rebalancing emotions, thoughts, and feelings very enlightening.   In the concluding part of our conversation, we touch upon the intriguing effects of nicotinol GABA, THC, and CBD. We assess the potential benefits of Trozzy, an innovative sleep aid supplement. As the saying goes, 'Sleep is the golden chain that ties health and our bodies together.' Therefore, we also shed light on the importance of good sleep habits and natural ways to enhance the GABA system.

While GABA is all over the brain, they're also in a place that are called interneurons. Interneurons are these waystations between neurons that help regulate the processing of information, both downwards and upwards. This is extremely important for how we regulate our emotions, how we regulate our feelings, how we regulate our interactions with other people, and then how we process our thoughts, how we process our experiences, both in the now and also in the past and the future. We may not realize it, but a lot of us are actually GABA deficient. GABA deficiency is a big deal because it's associated with depression, anxiety, and compulsive disorder. It's potentially contributing to things like schizophrenia, mental illness, and alcoholism.  We know that SSRIs work on some level to help with mood regulation. However, they do not work right away. It requires anywhere from four to eight weeks for the antidepressant effects to kick in.  On the other hand, GABA compounds work right away and elevates your mood.

When faced with an unwanted situation have you ever noticed that your mind goes to worse case scenario or down a rabbit hole of ‘what ifs'?  When the mind is behaving crazy it's running ancient programs belonging to the limbic brain that focuses on survival and fear.  To change this and stop the limbic brain from running the ancient programs we need to cut off it's supply of sugar.  In this podcast Dr. Armitstead explains what changes to make to change brain chemistry and neural pathways to help with anxiety, depression, PTSD,  and moodiness. If you are stuck in anxiety or have a fear you know is holding you from your best life know that there is a way to reprogram your neural pathways and help your brain health by detoxifying the brain, supporting the brain with good nutrition, implementing good stress management and doing PSYCH-K®.PSYCH-K® is an energy-balancing technique to help individuals transform their subconscious beliefs. It uses techniques such as visualizations, affirmations, and muscle testing to help reprogram the subconscious mind and create new neurological pathways.Reference LinksBrain increases brain volume: https://europepmc.org/article/MED/16763039 To write a better life story: https://healingartsnyc.blogspot.com/2016/05/life-is-story.htmlPSYCH-K®: https://healingarts.buzzsprout.com/894679/3985814-psych-k-and-morePoisons and the Blood Brain Barrier: https://healingarts.buzzsprout.com/894679/4731317-poison-and-the-blood-brain-barrier

Elliot and Dan teamed up for the podcast this week, bringing you the week's sweetest hacks. And news too, as the ESA performed a little percussive maintenance on a Jupiter-bound space probe, and we learned about how to get an Orwellian free TV that exacts quite a price. We talked about Bitcoin mining two ways, including a way to put all that waste heat to good use -- just don't expect it to make good financial sense. Why would you stuff zip ties into a hot glue gun? It might just help with plastic repair. Lugging a tube transmitter up a mountain doesn't sound like a good idea, but with the right design, it's a lot of fun -- and maybe you'll be better able to tap into Schumann resonances while you're up there.

Dr. Sayour will discuss some of the most important topics in this fight including overcoming the Blood Brain Barrier , the dynamics of Brain Cancers as they respond to treatment, how Immunotherapy can be such an important addition to help  win these battles, and the optimism that he shares as to the future for these kids who are dealing with such an unfair situation.

There are no official safety standards for 5G tech, there are only guidelines. Dr. Beverly Rubik joins Stew to talk about how 5G can disrupt the tissue structures inside the human body. 5G can produce oxidative stress, changes in cell membranes, DNA damage, nervous system problems, and reproductive harm. As 5G technology blankets across the earth it will terraform it into an electromagnetic hell scape. Former President Trump may be headed to a jail cell very soon while the Biden crime family flourishes. Francis A. Boyle is here to talk about his bill to impeach Joe Biden which is has been in the hands of the freedom caucus since July of 2022. The U.S. Military Reaper drone that was sent to the Black Sea was an illegal act of hostility. The media and global criminal cabal are blaming the plandemic on Chinese raccoon dogs. Eric Coppolina is here to talk about the pathetic attempt to cover up the release of the Covid-19 bioweapon by blaming the outbreak on a little known “raccoon dog”. The dispute over whether Covid came from a lab or a wet market is a fake argument designed to support viral scientific concepts.

Dr. Axel Montagne is a chancellor's fellow and group leader at the UK Dementia Research Institute at the University of Edinburgh Centre for Clinical Brain Sciences. His group aims to understand how, when, and where critical components of the blood-brain barrier become dysfunctional preceding dementia and in the earliest stages of age-related cognitive decline. With this knowledge, they hope to develop precise treatments targeting brain vasculature to protect brain function. More importantly his work, and that of his colleagues, provide a critical lens through which to view the contributions of vascular dysfunction (or, conversely, vascular health – if we choose to preserve it) as a critical common thread in dementia and neurodegeneration. In this episode, we discuss: 11:44 - What dementias have in common 12:42 - The importance of preserving small blood vessels (in the brain) 13:38 - Changes in the blood-brain barrier in aging that cause "leaking" 15:11 - Predicting cognitive decline early with biomarkers – an opportunity for intervention? 16:32 - Why targeting amyloid isn't enough 18:54 - The impact of the APOE4 genotype on brain vasculature 24:19 - The cause of white matter damage in the brain 33:47 - Why the loss of omega-3 transport affects pericytes 35:25 - The role of exercise in prevention of blood-brain barrier dysfunction 35:45 - Why high heart rates during exercise preserve brain function 36:49 - The role of exercise in preserving vision health 40:17 - Why leaky vessels damage myelin and the brain 45:31 - Can you have more than one type of dementia? 47:54 - Does the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier cause “type 3 diabetes"? 54:03 - Why omega-3 may prevent detachment of pericytes 01:14:35 - Why a hepatitis drug restored cognition in APOE4 mice 01:19:39 - Why blood-brain barrier disruption results in the accumulation of amyloid-beta 01:25:14 - Why lifetime hypertension increases dementia risk 01:37:13 - Effects of obesity on blood-brain barrier leakage Watch this episode on YouTube Show notes are available by clicking here Join over 300,000 people and get the latest distilled information straight to your inbox weekly: https://www.foundmyfitness.com/newsletter Become a FoundMyFitness premium member to get access to exclusive episodes, emails, live Q+A's with Rhonda and more: https://www.foundmyfitness.com/premium Learn more about the premium podcast The Aliquot: https://www.foundmyfitness.com/aliquot

Welcome to Season 5 of Living Well with MS, where we are pleased to welcome holistic health practitioner and expert Magic Barclay as our guest!  Keep reading for the key episode takeaways and Magic's bio. Make sure you sign up to our newsletter to hear our latest tips and news about living a full and happy life with MS. And if you're new to Overcoming MS, visit our introductory page to find out more about how we support people with MS. Bio: Magic Barclay is the lead practitioner and founder of ‘Wholistic Natural Health Australia', a holistic health practice. She also is a host of the podcast “A Magical Life: Health, Wealth and Weight Loss”. Magic's life changed when she faced multiple life-threatening conditions and at the same time, found herself divorced and raising her two children alone. She decided to find the root cause of her health issues and that set her on a path of life-changing learning that affected her whole family. Magic is a Master Practitioner in immune health, mould toxicity recovery and Psycho-Neuro-Endocrine-Immunology (the study of the interaction between psychological processes and the nervous and immune systems of the human body) of trauma. She tells us that she is a “mum of two amazing humans and two gorgeous furbabies, a grower of organic food for her family and a passionate native gardener”. Magic's mission is to help people heal naturally, reconnect to the environment and reach their own potential. She mainly works with women aged 45-65 who feel unheard or misled by mainstream medicine and anyone who wants to bring their health back to basics. Selected Key Takeaways: The purpose of functional medicine Functional medicine involves looking at the systems of the body. It looks at what each system does and how it works with the other systems. We often say, "no system works alone." We particularly look at the root cause because if you don't look at that, then other issues keep arising. Belief in yourself is a powerful part of healing If people don't believe in themselves, they're not going to get well. We see a lot of people just given diagnosis after diagnosis, label after label, and they start believing that's who they are. Magic believes that this is a really awful way to live because you're a person, you are not the label that was given to you by your doctor. You are still a person. So, what they do in functional medicine is uncover: Who is that person? And who do [they] want to be? Reduce stress by acknowledging the stressor isn't forever If you find yourself around people that increase your stress, don't be around them or decide to be around them for five or 10 minutes. Give yourself a time cap and tell yourself after 10 minutes “I'm out of this situation and I'll be okay”. If you find you are stressed by work, a doctor's appointment or driving, either take yourself out of the situation, find an alternative, or give yourself a time limit so that you know internally it's not forever. And don't sit there thinking, “I'm so stressed,” as your body hears that and guess what? It replies, "Really? This is a low level of stress, you want to be stressed? I'll raise the bar."

An ingredient allegedly used in the COVID-19 vaccines is patented to help medications break through the blood-brain barrier, and the presence of this ingredient could pose a threat to the health and safety of the U.S. military, according to Dr. Samuel Sigoloff, a major in the U.S. Army and a whistleblower. We speak with Dr. Sigoloff about his findings, his attempts to alert the U.S. military amid the vaccine mandates, and how he was punished for issuing his warnings. ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

Neurologist/Neuro-oncologist in Cleveland Clinic's Rose Ella Burkhardt Brain Tumor & Neuro-Oncology Center, Glen Stevens, DO, PhD, joins the Cancer Advances podcast to talk about the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma.

Anxiety was escalating at a rapid rate before 2020, and now it's just crazy. Long-haulers, mandates, lockdowns, wars, masks, headlines, our kids.....let's just say it isn't expected to  get any better anytime soon, hence counseling services are increasing, doctors visits and prescriptions are increasing, but so are people searching for information and trying to solve their anxiety puzzle without medications, on their own. There are tons of options for medications, supplements, and general advice out there - where do you turn and what do you do?? Understand the mechanisms of anxiety, neuroinflammation, and autoimmunity. UNDERSTANDING MECHANISMS PROVIDE SOLUTIONS!I have at least 20 things in my Vitamin Store that I have used in my clinic that have helped people tremendously with anxiety, including magnesium, CBD, L-theanine, B6 and other B vitamins, keto diet, avoiding gluten or dairy, binders, methyl donors, sauna,  herbs for pathogens, probiotics, adaptogens, vagus nerve stimulation. Some of these people were mold, Lyme, EBV, IBS, or autoimmune disease patients with a list of 10+ other symptoms, but some were kids, moms, dads, people who just dealt with a lot of anxiety but otherwise had few complaints. It can happen to anybody. What are the mechanisms for YOU?? Here is a list of 10 things you need to know about when searching for the next clue to solve your health puzzle:1. Mitochondria - the batteries behind it all!! Also the cause behind it all.....listen to episodes 30, 31, 32 for more info on mitochondria but you have a QUADRILLION of them in your brain, so they are kinda important.....2. Brain Cells - Neurons vs. Microglia vs. Mast Cells vs. Astrocytes.....you don't need to know everything, but a little bit about each one can help!3. Brain Regions - limbic regions - amygdala, insula, hippocampus, hypothalamus; cerebellar-vestibular regions4. Neurotransmitters - GABA/Glutamate, Serotonin, Dopamine, Acetycholine, Epinephrine, Norepipheprine5. Hormones - HPA Axis (adrenals), Thyroid, Androgens, Estrogens, and most importantly Cortisol 6. Blood-Brain-Barrier - protector of the brain - damaged by head traumas, glutathione depletion, histamine, gut inflammation and permeability (leaky gut)7.
