Podcasts about Fatty liver disease

Send a textRole of bile acids in cholesterol regulation, digestion & metabolic diseases like diabetes.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Bile acids basics: They enable cholesterol excretion, with about half of bodily cholesterol eliminated this way, and also aid digestion by emulsifying fats to increase enzyme access.Bile production & pathway: Synthesized in liver hepatocytes, bile flows via ducts to the gallbladder for storage or directly to the small intestine; post-meal, cholecystokinin triggers gallbladder contraction for fat emulsification.Regulation of bile acids: Self-regulated to prevent cytotoxicity, as excess can damage cell membranes; insulin and bile acids themselves influence synthesis and transport, with defects in insulin-resistant states.Bile acids in metabolic diseases: Increased synthesis, especially 12-hydroxylated types, occurs in type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance, potentially as an adaptation for better nutrient absorption during perceived scarcity.Gallbladder removal & gallstones: Common due to cholesterol supersaturation forming stones; removal eliminates concentration but preserves bile flow, reducing tolerance for high-fat meals.Bariatric surgery impacts: Procedures like gastric bypass increase circulating bile acids without major synthesis changes, while more extreme ones boost synthesis due to impaired intestinal sensing.Cholesterol homeostasis: Cells tightly regulate membrane cholesterol for fluidity and signaling; most bodily cholesterol is synthesized internally, with LDL receptors key to blood levels.Ongoing research: Haeusler's lab explores manganese's role in metabolism, bile acids in liver inflammation, and insulin's effects on lipoproteins.ABOUT THE GUEST: Rebecca Haeusler, PhD is an associate professor at Columbia University in the departments of medicine and pathology and cell biology, affiliated with the Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center and the Digestive and Liver Diseases Research Center.RELATED EPISODE:M&M 269 | Soybean Oil: Obesity, Fatty Liver Disease, Gut Health, IBS & Colitis | Frances SladekSupport the showHealth Products by M&M Partners: SporesMD: Premium mushrooms products (gourmet mushrooms, nootropics, research).

Fatty liver disease is the most common liver disorder, driven by obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and insulin resistance. It often progresses silently for years before symptoms appear Niacin helps your body use energy better. It turns down a molecule called microRNA-93, which normally blocks two key proteins that help your cells make energy and burn fat. By restoring those proteins, niacin helps your mitochondria work more efficiently. This shift supports fat burning in your liver instead of fat storage Higher niacin intake has been linked to reduced liver fat, lower inflammation, improved insulin sensitivity, better cholesterol levels, and reduced long-term mortality in fatty liver patients Niacinamide is the better choice compared to niacin because of its function as an NAD+ precursor. The ideal dosage is 50 milligrams three times a day, ideally in powder form for precise intake. Niacinamide also doesn't cause skin flushing Increasing choline intake is the best way to manage fatty liver disease. Research shows it helps transport fat out of the liver. While there are several types of choline supplements available, citicoline is the preferred one because of its high bioavailability

This episode is brought to you by Troscriptions, Timeline, Joi and Blokes. In this conversation, Dr. Tim Spector breaks down why modern life has quietly dismantled our relationship with fermented foods and how that loss may be fueling inflammation, metabolic disease, and poor mental health. Drawing from the landmark Stanford fermented foods study, he explains how just a few daily servings of fermented foods lowered inflammatory markers by 25%, outperforming fiber alone in immune impact. He outlines the hierarchy of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics, why ultra-processed foods sabotage gut health, and how eating 30 diverse plants per week can measurably improve mood, energy, and microbiome diversity. From reversing type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease to redefining stool health as a vital sign, Spector argues that restoring gut diversity may be one of the most powerful levers for extending healthspan — potentially adding ten more healthy years of life. ----- 00:00 – The Fermented Foods Study That Changed Everything 03:22 – Health Trends in 2026: Fiber vs. The Protein Craze 06:04 – The 30 Plants Per Week Rule 09:40 – Gut Health and Mental Health Connection 16:27 – What Modern Life Destroyed About Fermentation 21:55 – The Stanford Fermented Foods Study 24:31 – 3 Fermented Foods to Start Today 27:29 – Live vs. Dead Microbes (Postbiotics Explained) 38:56 – Probiotics vs. Prebiotics vs. Postbiotics 48:41 – The Biggest Destroyer of Gut Health 52:48 – The New Gut Health Metric (Nature Study) 01:01:56 – What Your Stool Says About Your Health 01:09:29 – Can Gut Health Reverse Chronic Disease? 01:13:02 – The Simplest Gut Health Rule 01:13:36 – Adding 10 Healthy Years to Your Life ----- Episode resources: Try Troscriptions clinical-grade wellness troches and use checkout code EVERFORWARD for exclusive savings Save 39% on MitoPure longevity gummies with code EVERFORWARD at https://www.Timeline.com/everforward Get 50% off any diagnostic labs with code CHASE at https://www.JoiAndBlokes.com/chase Watch and subscribe on YouTube

Hosts: Carolyn McMakin, MA, DC       &       Kim Pittis, LCSP, (PHYS), MT 01:37 Patient Case Study: Phantom Limb Pain 09:13 Understanding Liver Health and Detoxification 17:48 Addressing Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease 29:51 Treating TMJ with FSM 34:17 Understanding Trigger Points and TMJ 37:01 Exploring Eczema and Its Causes 40:27 Post-ACL Reconstruction and Rehabilitation 49:19 Addressing Dementia and Its Potential Causes 55:28 Innovations in Surgical Solutions for Arthritis 57:11 Conclusion and Final Thoughts In the realm of medical practice, understanding various pain management and treatment techniques is essential, especially for medical professionals dealing with complex conditions. This guide delves into methods for treating various kinds of pain, nerve issues, and conditions such as liver toxicity, TMJ, and osteoporosis, as well as discussing new insights into dementia related to sensory loss. **Managing Phantom Limb Pain** Phantom limb pain can occur when nerves are damaged, leading to sensations in a limb that is no longer present. A case in point is the experience of nerve damage in the big toe, where the perceived pain resembles that of a phantom limb. Identifying and running specific treatment protocols such as 40/89 can be effective in alleviating such pain. **Understanding Trigger Points** Trigger points in muscles like the upper trapezius are often symptoms rather than causes of pain. They might originate from other underlying issues such as rotator cuff injuries. Treatment should focus on repairing associated injuries and reducing muscle tension through methods like running specific protocols tailored to nerve and muscle conditions. **Liver Health and Detoxification** The liver plays a crucial role in detoxifying the body, and certain conditions like cirrhosis require targeted treatment. Managing liver health may involve treating for toxicity, anesthesia, and providing support through supplements like lipoic acid and milk thistle. Protocols for conditions like non-alcoholic fatty liver focus on dietary management, particularly the reduction of carbohydrate intake. **Restoring Muscle and Joint Function** In treating joint issues such as TMJ, understanding the biomechanical contributions is vital. A detailed approach involves treating torn or broken ligaments and connective tissues. For post-surgical recovery, such as ACL reconstruction, encouraging the appropriate exercises without further straining repaired tendons is key. Coordinated movement must be restored cautiously to ensure proper healing. **Dealing with Eczema and Immune System Responses** Eczema can often be linked to immune responses and is treated by addressing histamine levels and inflammation. It's often associated with other conditions such as MCAS, and a multi-pronged treatment approach that targets the immune system, skin, and gut health is often beneficial. **Dementia and Sensory Loss** The loss of olfactory senses (smell) can be a predictor of dementia. Understanding the relationship between sensory loss and cognitive decline is critical in early intervention. Questions regarding vaccination effects, particularly related to COVID-19, should be explored as they might impact the onset or progression of symptoms. Pain management and treatment are multifaceted, requiring a comprehensive understanding of the physiological and neurological factors involved. By addressing underlying causes of symptoms like phantom limb pain, improving liver function, and adopting holistic approaches to conditions like eczema and dementia, medical professionals can enhance treatment outcomes. Understanding these dynamics can empower healthcare providers to offer more effective interventions for various complex conditions.

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the renaming of fatty liver disease to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (M-A-S-L-D) to reduce stigma and improve diagnosis. Dr. Mary Ella's efforts at the University of Chicago Medicine highlight how this change aids in better patient identification and treatment. Leyla emphasizes lifestyle changes like a low-carb diet to manage and reverse the disease. The episode also covers the prevalence of fake extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) on the market, ways to identify authentic olive oil, and the importance of choosing quality over mass-produced options.

Inulin is a naturally occurring, non-digestible fiber stored in many plants. It acts as a prebiotic, feeding beneficial gut bacteria that influence how the body handles sugar, fat, and inflammation A 2025 animal study found that inulin helped reverse fatty liver disease by prompting small-intestinal microbes to clear fructose and redirect liver metabolism toward the production of the antioxidant glutathione Inulin supports insulin sensitivity, lowers triglycerides, and improves liver markers. However, high doses, especially from supplements, can cause bloating Onions, garlic, asparagus, chicory, and Jerusalem artichoke are among the richest natural sources of inulin Restoring liver health isn't about quick fixes. Adopt consistent habits, such as regular movement, mindful eating, restorative sleep, and a diet centered on fiber-rich foods

Fatty liver disease (FLD) develops when fat builds up in liver cells, straining an organ vital for energy, metabolism, and detoxification. It is now the leading chronic liver disease worldwide and affects four in 10 U.S. adults A new study in the Journal of Translational Gastroenterology found higher urinary arsenic levels were strongly associated with a greater risk of FLD in the U.S. population Arsenic disrupts liver health by driving oxidative stress, impairing mitochondria, activating fat-storing pathways, and interfering with glucose regulation, all of which accelerate fat buildup and insulin resistance Rice and drinking water are the main everyday sources of arsenic exposure, with contamination often exceeding health-based safety limits and posing risks even at "low" levels Reducing seed oils and alcohol, improving choline intake, and avoiding arsenic-contaminated foods and beverages are key steps to protect your liver and lower your toxic burden

Send us a textHow maternal obesity epigenetically reprograms liver metabolism in offspring, predisposing them to metabolic disease.Episode Summary: Dr. Elvira Mass talks about macrophages, specialized immune cells that vary by tissue and play crucial roles beyond fighting infections, such as supporting organ function; Kupffer cells (liver macrophages) and how maternal obesity during pregnancy reprograms these cells in offspring, leading to fatty liver disease, fibrosis, and even cancer later in life, based on mouse studies showing epigenetic and metabolic shifts like increased glycolysis, with insights into developmental windows, nutritional mismatches, and broader implications for human health.About the guest: Elvira Mass, PhD, is a Professor of Developmental Immunology at the University of Bonn in Germany, where her lab focuses on the development and function of macrophages in various tissues.Discussion Points:Macrophages are diverse, tissue-specific cells that develop from embryonic precursors, performing unique tasks like providing growth factors in organs.Kupffer cells in the liver monitor blood from the gut and are exposed to maternal nutrients during fetal development.Maternal obesity (induced in mice via high-fat diets) programs offspring Kupffer cells epigenetically, leading to fatty liver in newborns and progression to diseases like cancer, even on normal diets.A "nutritional mismatch" between in utero high-fat exposure and postnatal normal diets worsens liver issues, as cells are "prepared" for excess high-fat intake but face scarcity.Key mechanism: Reprogrammed Kupffer cells overproduce apolipoproteins, driving excess lipid uptake in liver cells (hepatocytes), linked to transcription factor HIF-1α and a shift to inefficient glycolysis.Offspring from obese mothers show sex differences (males affected earlier) and persistent changes.Human parallels: Rising childhood fatty liver (once rare and tied to alcoholism) correlates with maternal obesity; studies like Dutch Hunger Winter show early gestational disruptions cause lifelong issues.Broader factors: Microbiome changes, specific fatty acids, and environmental toxins like microplastics may also reprogram macrophages; diets in studies vary beyond fat content, affecting results.Advice: Maintain consistent healthy habits pre- and during pregnancy; avoid sudden diet shifts, as developmental windows are critical for long-lived cells like Kupffer cells.Reference Paper:Study: Kupffer cell programming bySupport the showAffiliates: Seed Oil Scout: Find restaurants with seed oil-free options, scan food products to see what they're hiding, with this easy-to-use mobile app. KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + electrolytes formulated for kidney health.

Gastroenterologist Anuj Vikrant Sharma discusses his article, "Fatty liver disease is no longer reserved for older adults." He warns of a quiet epidemic of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), a serious liver condition now increasingly appearing in people in their 20s and 30s who may not appear outwardly unhealthy. Anuj explains that a primary, and often overlooked, driver is the gut-liver axis. The modern Western diet, high in ultra-processed, low-fiber foods, disrupts the gut microbiome, leading to a "leaky gut" that allows harmful substances to travel to the liver and cause inflammation and fat accumulation. The conversation explores why this connection explains the rise of MASH in younger, non-obese patients and makes a compelling case for a "gut-first" strategy. Listeners will learn why we need earlier screening and a renewed focus on food quality over calorie counting to prevent and reverse this silent but progressive disease before irreversible damage occurs.

Some of the “normal” things we do to unwind are quietly wrecking our bodies, and alcohol might be at the top of that list. You might not realize how much the occasional glass of wine is disrupting your hormones, wrecking your sleep, and sabotaging your detox efforts until you take a closer look at the research. And once you hear what it's doing to your thyroid, testosterone, liver, and brain chemistry, it's hard to ignore. That's why I asked Dr. Erika Schwartz—a pioneer in hormone health and founder of Evolved Science—to come break it all down. In this episode, Dr. Erika explains how alcohol impacts every single hormone in your body, including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and even your sleep-regulating neurochemicals. She talks about how alcohol contributes to hypothyroidism, depletes your zinc and B vitamins, and accelerates aging, and why hormone replacement therapy could be life-changing (especially if you've hit your 40s and can't sleep). And we talk solutions. Like how to replace alcohol as your stress reliever, how to balance hormones safely, and what you can do right now to feel better.   “The earlier you start changing your diet, cutting back on alcohol, balancing your hormones, exercising, and sleeping regularly, the more likely you are to enjoy your life.” ~ Dr. Erika Schwartz   In This Episode - Dr. Erika's backstory - What alcohol does to your hormones - The hormones that are most affected by alcohol - How the body metabolizes alcohol - Liver health and alcohol - Testing for liver cirrhosis and hormone imbalances - Debunking the “one glass of wine is healthy” myth - Alcohol's negative impact on sleep quality and insulin regulation - GABA, dopamine, and why alcohol feels relaxing - Alternative ways to relax without alcohol - Progesterone and alcohol cravings (and how to fix it) - Other health issues tied to alcohol consumption   Products & Resources Mentioned Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Get 15% off with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com  Tru Energy Skincare Serum: Get a special deal at https://trytruenergy.com/wendy  Chef's Foundry P600 Cookware: Find it at https://bit.ly/myersdetox  Heavy Metals Quiz: Start at https://heavymetalsquiz.com    About Dr. Erika Schwartz Dr. Erika Schwartz is a board-certified MD and founder of Evolved Science, a cutting-edge longevity clinic based in New York City.

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright uncover the truth about fatty liver disease and its rapid rise in both adults and children. It's estimated 125 million Americans have the disease. Dr. Cooper explains the critical role the liver plays in metabolism—covering hundreds of essential functions—and why fatty infiltration poses serious risks. The episode demystifies diagnosis, risk factors, and treatment options, empowering listeners to take a proactive approach to liver health and metabolic wellness.Key Takeaways:Fatty liver disease, now known as MASLD—Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease, affects about 30% of adults, and is rising in youth, especially those with obesity or type-2 diabetes.Risk is not limited to higher body weights; up to 15% of normal-weight people are also affected, with genetics playing a significant role.Diagnosis can be tricky: blood enzymes (ALT, AST) and platelet counts factor into the highly predictive FIB-4 score, while imaging (like fibroscan) provides clarity on severity.Untreated, fatty liver can progress to inflammation, fibrosis, and even require a liver transplant, though early-stage disease is often reversible with proper intervention.Treatment focuses on improving metabolic function—through medication, diabetes management, and sometimes lifestyle changes—as solely relying on diet and exercise may not be enough, particularly for advanced cases.Personal Stories & Practical Advice:Andrea shares her own experience discovering fatty liver disease and seeing rapid improvement after metabolic treatment.The hosts discuss common misconceptions, and why liver health should be checked in both children and adults, regardless of body size or outward health.Resources:Connect with Dr. Emily Cooper on LinkedIn.Connect with Mark Wright on LinkedIn.Connect with Andrea Taylor on Instagram.Fat Science is a podcast on a mission to explain where our fat really comes from and why it won't go and stay away.

It was a health scare that pushed Jeff out of his comfort zone. He was diagnosed with a fatty liver at 29.Now he's reversed fatty liver disease and gained an amazing and active personal life.Welcome to the Next Round, when things that scare you have the potential to improve your life in ways you never imagined. Your next round can be more than getting better physically, it can help you create a new point of difference.Meet Jeff Smith, he works in finance by day, a notoriously boozy industry, but in his spare time he now performs improv on stage, jumps into icy fjords, learnt his mother tongue Tagalog, and has even launched a podcast. Most importantly he has reversed a health condition that could have killed him.When Jeff changed his drinking habits, he didn't just remove something from his life- he unlocked a more exciting life and imporved his health to boot!A health scare in his late twenties pushed him to re-evaluate how alcohol fit into his lifestyle. What followed wasn't just abstinence – it was expansion. From improv stages to ecstatic dance and even launching his own podcast, Jeff's life now pulses with more energy, creativity, and meaning than ever before.“It's just such a lazy option to go down the route of the pub when there's so many other things.” The catalyst was a diagnosis: fatty liver. At just 29, Jeff found himself dealing with elevated liver enzymes, fatigue, and unpleasant stomach issues. His drinking wasn't daily, but it was intense – classic binge behavior.“I reached a point where I didn't feel booze was doing anything anymore… I just didn't like that hangover slash low-energy feeling.”The health wake-up call forced him to stop. Cold. But instead of spiraling, he got curious.“You end up having much more free time because I wasn't low energy and didn't feel hungover… and that just made me think, gosh, push yourself out your comfort zone.”His first discovery? A run club that served matcha instead of beer. That led to Club Soda events, then the Social Wellness Club, and eventually a plunge into activities he never imagined himself doing. Like ecstatic dance.“What an amazing way to just be free… you could be any sort of background. And I just thought, this is so damn cool.”Even more surprising for an introvert in the corporate finance world? Improv.“Try improv. That would have scared the living daylights out of me a year and a bit ago… but I've pushed myself out the comfort zone.”Jeff also co-created a podcast with a university friend, “The English Footy Podcast.” With his evenings no longer lost to wine or recovery, he had time and clarity for passion projects. He even began learning Tagalog – his mother's language – fulfilling a long-held desire to connect more deeply with his heritage.But perhaps the most meaningful change came from social confidence.“I just feel more confident in socialising alcohol free and not feeling embarrassed. Just feeling positive about that choice.”Navigating the finance world – a bastion of long-standing drinking culture – hasn't been easy. Jeff still finds pressure in client meetings and among old university friends who knew him as a drinker. But with confidence and a kombucha in hand, he's learned to draw his own line.“It's been a bit of a re-education for some colleagues… but actFind Club Soda:The Club Soda Tasting Room is at 39 Drury Lane, London, WC2B 5RRFind us on Instagram

My interview guest Lyana S. never wanted to go on prescription meds. Yet, health issues started piling up, one after another, from her late thirties onwards. First it was high blood pressure, then high cholesterol and pre-diabetes. Then finally diabetes and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. Add to this a strong family history of medical issues, with her mother suffering from diabetes, kidney failure, then a severe stroke and paralysis. It's clear the odds aren't stacked in her favor.   Lyana knew things need to change, but how? That's when she began a whole food, no-oil, plant-based diet, and her health changed dramatically within the next few months.

In this episode, Dr. Steve Edelman and Dr. Jeremy Pettus dive into a little-known but critical complication of diabetes—fatty liver disease. They are joined by Dr. Juan Pablo Frias, an endocrinologist and metabolic disease expert, to explore why people with diabetes are at significantly higher risk of developing fatty liver and what can be done to prevent, detect, and treat it before it leads to serious complications. They discuss the direct connection between insulin resistance, obesity, and liver health, the silent progression of fatty liver disease, and why liver health should be a key part of diabetes management. The episode also highlights how diabetes medications like GLP-1 receptor agonists (Ozempic, Mounjaro) and SGLT2 inhibitors may help protect the liver in addition to their benefits for blood sugar, heart, and kidney health.Key Topics:Why fatty liver disease is a major but often overlooked complication of diabetes and why doctors are just starting to take it seriously.How insulin resistance drives fat accumulation in the liver and why people with type 2 diabetes are at much higher risk.The silent progression of fatty liver disease, why most people don't have symptoms until it's too late.How fatty liver impacts blood sugar control, and why treating your liver could actually improve your diabetes management.Why people with diabetes should ask their doctors about liver screening, and how simple lab tests like FIB-4 can detect early signs of trouble.The growing connection between diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, and fatty liver, and why experts now see them as part of the same metabolic syndrome.Can diabetes medications also treat fatty liver? The exciting potential of GLP-1s, SGLT2 inhibitors, and new liver-specific treatments like Rezdiffra.What lifestyle changes really make a difference? How weight loss, diet, and exercise can help reverse fatty liver and improve diabetes at the same time. ★ Support this podcast ★

This Real Science Exchange podcast episode was recorded during a webinar from Balchem's Real Science Lecture Series. You can find it at balchem.com/realscience.Feeding rumen-protected choline in early lactation has consistently increased milk yield and energy-corrected milk yield, which is more pronounced when cows are fed diets low in metabolizable methionine. Choline feeding also increases milk fat and protein yield, minimizes body condition loss in early lactation, and reduces postpartum disease incidence. Dr. McFadden presents three topics about choline biology in the dairy cow. (01:45)Why should we consider fatty acid feeding when feeding methyl donors like choline and methionine?Choline degradation in the rumen and small intestine, focusing on the role of triethylamine oxide Why should we consider lysophosphatidylcholine as an immunomodulator in fresh cows and preweaning calves?Fatty acid nutrition to optimize methyl donor efficiency. (4:02)Fatty liver is a concern for fresh cows because of its relationship with ketosis, poor fertility and compromised milk production. Cows with fatty liver exhibit low circulating concentrations of phosphatidylcholine, which is a component of very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) that transport triglycerides out of the liver. Feeding rumen-protected choline lowers liver triglyceride deposition by supporting the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine and thus, VLDL. Dr. McFadden goes on to explain the two different pathways for phosphatidylcholine in the liver and how those interact with fatty acid metabolism. He describes several experiments that have investigated how rumen-protected choline and supplemental fatty acids interact in lactating cows. Low phosphatidylcholine supply is a key feature of fatty liver in dairy cows, likely due to low polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and low choline supplies. Delivery of post-ruminal PUFA may support phosphatidylcholine synthesis with accompanying improvements in insulin sensitivity, body condition maintenance, and inflammation, but interactions with dietary fatty acid digestibility should be considered. Dr. McFadden gives a list of considerations for fresh cow diets incorporating fat and choline supplementation. Gastrointestinal choline degradation and trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO)  (16:58)Unprotected choline is almost totally degraded in the rumen. Microbes convert choline into trimethylamine (TMA) which is then converted to TMAO in the liver. Rumen-protected choline allows for a large proportion of choline to reach the small intestine intact. However, research shows that choline can also be degraded by microbes in the small intestine in the same pathway, limiting choline bioavailability. Plasma TMAO accumulation is associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, inflammation, insulin resistance, obesity, oxidative stress, and cardiovascular disease in rodent and human models. Little research was available regarding if the relationship between TMAO and poor health was causative or just associative. Dr. McFadden's lab infused cows intravenously with TMAO and found that TMAO did not modify milk production or glucose tolerance in early lactation cows.  TMAO does not appear to influence energy metabolism or health in early lactation cows. Choline is subject to both ruminal and lower-gut degradation to TMA, and that influence on choline bioavailability needs to be defined. Data in non-ruminants suggests that unsaturated fatty acid feeding can shift the gut microbes to slow TMA formation. Lysophosphatidylcholine and immunomodulation (28:45)Dr. McFadden gives an overview of neutrophil activation and the oxidative burst that contributes to pathogen killing. The ability to elicit the oxidative burst is diminished in pre-weaned calves and transition cows. When cows were given endotoxin to cause an immune response, circulating lysophosphatidylcholine was decreased. In rodent models, lysophosphatidylcholine promotes the oxidative burst and suppresses long-term inflammation in response to bacterial infection. Dr. McFadden cultured neutrophils from pre-weaned calves with lysophosphatidylcholine and observed an enhanced oxidative burst.Immunosuppression is characterized by low circulating lysophosphatidylcholine concentrations in dairy cows. In  vitro data suggests lysophosphatidylcholine can activate neutrophils, and rumen-protected choline increases circulating lysophosphatidylcholine. Future research is likely to define an immunomodulatory role for choline. Dr. McFadden takes questions from the webinar audience.

I spent about 12 years (2009-2021) doing some combination of bodybuilding style training or crossfit and truly loved it. However, I had a miscarriage at the end of 2021 and after the recovery from it I have never gotten back into a regular lifting routine. I also have no desire to weight train in a gym anymore or do typical resistance or weight training routines at all. However, it is ground into my mind that I must lift weights to maintain my muscle mass as I age (I'm 41 and female). I am struggling mentally on how to stay physically fit and healthy as I age without lifting weights. I currently walk 3-5 miles several times per week and force myself to lift lower body 1 day per week. I do love to hike, walk, and am interested in road cycling and rucking. So my questions are do I have to lift weights to maintain or build muscle? Is a combination of rucking, hiking, walking and/or cycling enough stimulus to achieve the muscle building and strength I need as I age? I'm most curious about rucking, because it seems like it would be a great for muscle development, but I would love your thoughts. Also do you have a recommendation on ruck packs or weighted vests to use? Thank you so much for all your advice. Maggie   Elevated ALT/AST on Keto (With Resolution?) Chris writes:  Hi Robb and Nikki, Sent you a podcast question back in March of this year prior to a liver biopsy with a long-winded explanation of elevated liver enzymes I've been having since I had my appendix removed in Feb '23. Lo and behold, the liver biopsy revealed no issues and I followed up with a hepatic specialist who is still scratching his head. Much ado about nothing though (I think): I went on vacation for 4th of July week (stayed low-ish carb i.e. 100g-200g net carb) and retested when I got back and my enzymes went down a significant amount, but not fully clean. They went back up after a few weeks of low carb after this. This got me curious, so when I went on another vacation in July and purposefully went off low carb for 2.5 weeks and retested: when I got back and my enzymes were actually entirely clean this time! This made me want to prove out my hypothesis of low carb (

Could a single fatty acid hold the key to reversing aging and combating chronic diseases? Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson, veterinary epidemiologist joins us to discuss the groundbreaking discovery of C15:0, an essential odd chain saturated fatty acid that's setting the health and scientific communities abuzz. Learn why a deficiency in C15:0, termed Cellular Fragility Syndrome, leads to fragile cell membranes, accelerated aging, and various health issues such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Stephanie shares compelling insights into how incorporating C15:0 into our diets can potentially revolutionize health and longevity.

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Peter Attia, M.D., a Stanford and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine-trained physician expert in improving human healthspan and lifespan. Dr. Attia is also the host of The Drive podcast and author of the best-selling book Outlive.  We discuss the NAD pathway in human cells and its possible links to aging and health. We evaluate how supplementation can augment molecules in the NAD pathway; we compare NAD, NMN, and NR, different routes of administration, their safety, and bioavailability. Then, we discuss the broader research and clinical literature on longevity to decide if supplementation with NAD, NR, NMN, rapamycin, or resveratrol can indeed extend lifespan.  Finally, we each describe our supplement regimens and compare the role of supplementation to behaviors such as sleep, nutrition, and exercise for longevity. We also discuss whether tests of biological age are true indicators of aging and whether normal radiation levels increase cancer risk.  Listeners of this episode will learn if supplements purported to improve lifespan show any efficacy and the behaviors and other factors that can prevent disease and extend lifespan.
