Dr. Garth Nicolson, Founder, President, Chief Scientific Officer, and Emeritus Research Professor of Molecular Pathology at the Institute for Molecular Medicine in Huntington Beach, California, and Research Advisor for Nutritional Therapeutics, explains how membrane damage from free radicals and loss of mitochondrial transmembrane potential contribute to declining energy with age, noting studies in older adults showing improved energy output, fatigue, cognition, mood, and activity after NTFactor lipids, a protected phospholipid supplement balanced toward mitochondrial lipid composition. He describes evidence of lipid delivery using fluorescent-tagged lipids in sperm, with improved motility, and discusses applications including wound healing in veterans, removal of hydrophobic toxins via a concentration-driven “conveyor belt” process, and improved transport of nutrients like CoQ10. He details articles on normal aging, menopause-related changes supported by membranes, dementia risk linked to hearing loss, and rat studies showing delayed hearing loss with NTFactor, and mentions research on EMF sensitivity and planned schizophrenia trials.

Retired Air Force veteran Brandon Fertig has transformed from a conservative, mild mannered civilian to a passionate outdoor adventurer. An employee of Philips, he has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, skydived and whitewater rafted in Colorado, and gone scuba diving, rode horses, skied, fished, snorkled, kayaked, biked, and hiked all over the world. Fertig's eight-day climb of Mount Kilimanjaro was in support of MedTechVets, a nonprofit that helps veterans transition to rewarding careers. Other topics in Episode 290 include the return of a Medal of Honor recipient's remains, an update on Gulf War Illness treatment and a rare Stars Wars trading card.Army Navy GameUSA250 ChallengeCDC recognizes Gulf War IllnessMedal of Honor recipient U.S. Army Capt.

Dr. Holton discusses promising work in the area of Gulf War Illness, how veterans can get involved and possible treatments of Gulf War symptoms with nutrition. About Dr. Holton: Dr. Kathleen Holton is a nutritional neuroscientist, co-appointed in the Departments of Health Studies and Neuroscience, whose research examines the negative effects of dietary excitotoxins on neurological symptoms, as well as the positive protective effects of certain micronutrients on the brain. The most common dietary excitotoxin exposures in the US are from food additives. Dr. Holton's research is exploring the beneficial effects of removing these additives, while optimizing the nutrient composition of the diet in order to treat neurological conditions characterized by excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation. Her work aims to optimize the use of food as medicine in neurological treatment.

In this episode, host Haylie Pomroy and Dr. Lubov Nathanson dive into the complex and rapidly evolving world of epigenetics, the study of how your behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work. This field is key in understanding chronic diseases, how they develop, why some people are more predispositioned to get sick than others, and how they can be prevented with lifestyle and diet. They explain the static nature of genomics and contrast this with the dynamic nature of epigenetics. They also discuss the role of epigenetics in diseases like Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and Gulf War Illness. This conversation provides a new perspective on chronic illnesses, highlighting how epigenetic changes, influenced by our environment and choices, can significantly alter our health destiny. Key points: 00:00 Introduction 03:23 Exploration of the significant epigenetic component in chronic diseases. 08:06 Research on Gulf War Illness and Epigenetics. 12:01 The role of lifestyle and nutrition in epigenetic changes. 16:55 All body systems are interconnected. 20:07 Dr. Nathanson's vision for the future of medicine and chronic illness treatment. 23:24 The importance of considering the whole body in health and disease.

On today's show, we are speaking with Army veteran and patient advocate Tonya Henry. Tonya is joining us today to talk about gastroparesis. Tonya is a disabled veteran who has many illnesses. She was diagnosed with Autonomic Dysfunction secondary to Gulf War Illness. Autonomic Dysfunction causes issues with things such as temperature dysregulation, hypotension, hypoglycemia, orthostatic intolerance, and tachycardia and Gastroparesis. She has some other diseases that impact her life as well, but today we are focusing on Gastroparesis. This is Gastroparesis Awareness Month. She received the Gastroparesis Awareness Month Proclamation from the Mayor of Killeen, TX on August 9, 2022. She volunteers as an Oley Ambassador, which is someone who advocates and helps those with Gastroparesis or other GI illnesses that require a feeding tube, TPN (iv nutrition}, or an ostomy bag. She has had a jejunal feeding tube, a gj tube and currently a g tube to vent/drain only. She relies on TPN now for all of her nutrition and gets that through a port. She also has a gastric stimulator and a cardiac monitor implanted. She is also active in the migraine community as well. She writes and moderates for migraine.com. You can find her Oley Ambassador information on the site: https://oley.org/page/ambassadorshpen Her gastroparesis story was featured by a local news station back in 2019. Here is the link to that
