GLP-1 Side Effects, Gut Microbiome & Brain Health, Toxoplasmosis Risks, and the Dirty Dozen Explained Plasma Acetate Emerges As Key Gut-Brain Messenger In Older Adults A study published in Nature Communications examined how gut bacteria relate to plasma acetic acid, a short-chain fatty acid produced when gut microbes ferment fiber, and found that higher acetate levels tracked with lower triglycerides, higher HDL cholesterol, lower body fat, larger thalamic brain volume, and stronger performance on judgment-related cognitive tasks. Mediation analysis showed acetate acts as a direct link between specific gut bacteria, including Oscillibacter and Coprococcus, and these health outcomes. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why this elevates fiber fermentation, not fermented beverages, as the real lever for gut-brain health, and separates the evidence-backed mechanism from the kombucha-as-shortcut assumption. Source: https://www.nature.com/articles/s43856-026-01566-x ~~ GLP-1 Drugs Linked To Sharp Rise In Smell And Taste Disturbances A JAMA Otolaryngology cohort study tracking over 438,000 GLP-1 users against matched controls found a 48% higher risk of new smell or taste disturbances over two years, with smell disturbances up 81% and taste disturbances up 52%. Diagnoses included anosmia, parosmia, and parageusia, with researchers pointing to GLP-1 receptor activity in the olfactory bulb and other chemosensory pathways as a possible mechanism. Host Dave Asprey unpacks why this signal got buried under muscle loss and gut motility headlines, and what it means for anyone currently on or considering GLP-1 therapy.

Ocular toxoplasmosis is the most common intra-ocular infection worldwide, and an estimated 190,000 babies are born with congenital toxoplasmosis each year, concentrated in low-resource regions. Despite the scale, there is still no vaccine and no standard global treatment protocol. Host Dave Asprey explains why common, quiet health threats get chronically underfunded compared to dramatic outbreaks, and what pregnant listeners specifically should know about exposure risk.

The data also revealed an inverted-U relationship, with optimal benefits at three to five sessions a week and diminishing or reversed returns at extreme volumes. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why moderate, consistent movement outperforms income as a mental health lever, and why overtraining carries its own psychological cost.

The move reflects a broader trend of major consumer-health conglomerates acquiring practitioner-trusted, lab-forward wellness brands. Host Dave Asprey weighs in on what happens to product quality and innovation when founder-led, science-first supplement companies get absorbed into shareholder-first parent corporations.

Individuals varied widely in how many of these compounds their gut could actually process, and in mouse studies, strawberries reduced colitis activity only in mice with an intact microbiome. Host Dave Asprey explains why the plant itself isn't the active ingredient, your bacteria are, and connects the findings to this year's Environmental Working Group Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen lists to help listeners decide where organic actually matters.

Host Dave Asprey connects clinical research, large cohort studies, mechanistic biology, and industry news into practical frameworks for improving gut health, brain performance, and long-term resilience.

In my conversation with Mark Hyman on his new NYT best seller, Food: What the Heck Should I Eat?, we discuss the myriad challenges consumers face in figuring out the correct diet, but also, what WE as clinicians caring for patients – what do we prescribe? What do the data show? Are grains really verboten? Is dairy completely off-the-plate? What about meat? And fats/cholesterol and the APOE4 patient? Mark enlightens me to the new “regenerative agriculture” movement; going far beyond organic, regenerative agriculture regenerates the environment while providing good, clean food. Amazing, right? He also addresses the common price complaint. What is the cost of eating clean vs eating conventional? We also go behind the scenes to address the insidious agribusiness at the heart of US policy, and chat about Steven Savage’s recent take-down of Environmental Working Group’s Dirty Dozen Clean Fifteen lists. This was such a fun convo for me, and as always, Mark is doing great detective work getting to the heart of concerns around diet and the ecology of eating. Take a listen, I bet you’ll be as intrigued as I was.
