A UT San Antonio Health Science Center researcher has found that people with resilient immune systems can live 15 years longer than those who don't, but what is immune resilience? How do you know if your immune system is lagging? Can you get some of those years back?

In this special Tick Boot Camp Podcast episode recorded live at Project Lab Coat during New York Fashion Week (NYFW), we sit down with Dr. Michal “Mikki” Caspi Tal, Principal Scientist in the Department of Biological Engineering at MIT and Associate Scientific Director of the MIT Center for Gynepathology Research. Dr. Tal is an immunologist and immunoengineer whose groundbreaking research focuses on the connections between infections and chronic diseases, including Lyme disease and long COVID. At her Tal Research Group lab, she studies why some people recover quickly after infection while others develop chronic illness, with a focus on the immune system's different responses in men and women. What You'll Learn in This Episode How Dr. Tal's lab uses mouse models of chronic Lyme and a large clinical study to take a deeper look at Lyme disease. Why some patients make a protective immune response while others develop catastrophic responses like dysautonomia, MCAS, gynecological issues, or clotting disorders. How her team is moving beyond “yes/no” antibody tests to create new biomarker diagnostics that can guide treatments. Why sex differences matter in chronic illness and why women are more likely to experience long-term symptoms after infection. How her research could lead to more personalized treatment approaches for Lyme disease patients by grouping individuals based on immune response patterns. What samples (blood, saliva, sweat, tissue) her team is collecting at MIT to uncover new insights into chronic Lyme disease. Why this research brings hope to Lyme patients who feel unseen and unheard. About Dr. Michal Caspi Tal Principal Scientist, MIT Department of Biological Engineering Associate Scientific Director, MIT Center for Gynepathology Research Focus areas: Lyme disease, long COVID, chronic inflammatory diseases, sex differences in immune response, predictive diagnostics Background: PhD in Immunobiology from Yale (mentored by Dr. Akiko Iwasaki), postdoctoral training at Stanford (Irving Weissman lab), infectious disease research leader at Stanford's Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine. Awards: NIH NIAID F31 and F32 Fellowships, Bay Area Lyme Foundation Emerging Leader Award About Project Lab Coat at New York Fashion Week Project Lab Coat was a groundbreaking event held on September 13, 2025, during New York Fashion Week (NYFW). The show brought together prominent celebrities, researchers, doctors, and advocates who were invited to walk the runway to spotlight Lyme disease and raise funds for Lyme disease research. For the first time, the global visibility of NYFW was used to highlight one of the fastest-growing infectious diseases in the world. Tick Boot Camp co-founders Matt Sabatello and Rich Johannesen, together with Dr. Tal, walked the runway at Project Lab Coat, joining leaders from medicine, science, entertainment, and advocacy. Project Lab Coat demonstrated the power of mainstream platforms to bring awareness, credibility, and resources to the fight against Lyme disease. Why This Episode Matters For too long, chronic Lyme patients have been told their symptoms are “all in their head.” Dr. Tal's work at MIT proves otherwise by measuring the real biological differences in immune system responses. This research not only validates patients' experiences but also charts a course toward better diagnostics, clinical trials, and personalized treatments.

What if everything you thought you knew about childhood health—and the medicine meant to protect it—was wrong? In this high-voltage episode of Rush to Reason, Dr. Kelly Victory joins John Rush for a conversation that starts with a jolt and never lets up. They dissect Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s much-hyped press conference on autism, where Tylenol took center stage. Is acetaminophen really the culprit, or is it just a convenient decoy hiding something far more alarming? Dr. Kelly questions decades of medical assumptions, tracing the rise in autism rates alongside an explosion in vaccines recommended for pregnant women and young children. She challenges listeners to consider the overlooked connection between pain relievers, vaccination timing, and neurological health. Could the real story be about how often—and how early—we challenge a baby's immune system? The debate deepens as she explains why pain relief during pregnancy has become a medical puzzle. If Tylenol is off the table, what's left—opiates? And why did so many studies ignore a critical factor: vaccination status? Parents' testimonies of children who regressed after routine shots sharpen the stakes. In the 1960s, a child might receive six to eight vaccines; today, that number can reach eighty-four. Are we overwhelming fragile immune systems for the sake of convenience? Could repeated “foreign protein” injections be driving the surge in autoimmune disorders and allergies we never used to see—while countries with fewer vaccines and no mandates report far lower autism rates? If good health can't be injected, how many of these shots are truly necessary? Listen and decide for yourself.

Fentanyl: No One is Immune Guest: Kevin deBruyckere, former head of federal policing in British Columbia By Stuart McNish   “In 2013, in my role as Head of Federal Policing in British Columbia, I started to see an increase in drug-related deaths attributed to a powder form of fentanyl being delivered by mail,” says Kevin deBruyckere. “On May 23rd 2014, it hit home for my family – my 22-year-old son lost his life and our family became a victim of the fentanyl epidemic.”   Over the next decade, more than 16,000 people have lost their lives due to overdoses in British Columbia. Vancouver is at the epicentre of this epidemic. “Unless there is a significant reframing of response to the drug crisis, we can't beat it. It's not a law enforcement challenge or issue only – it's much larger than that,” says deBruyckere.   “This is a public health issue; it's a housing issue; it's an educational issue; it's a prevention issue,” says deBruychkere. The costs to take on the drug epidemic are significant. The costs of not having a coordinated long-term strategy are much larger. “People are dying, families are being destroyed, and all of society is paying a price,” says deBruyckere.   We invited Kevin deBruyckere to join us for a Conversation That Matters about fentanyl and the devastating impact it is having.   You can see the interview here https://www.conversationsthatmatter.ca/ Learn More about our guests career at careersthatmatter.ca

More than 63% of U.S. adults drink at least one sugar-sweetened beverage daily, rapidly disrupting gut bacteria, weakening immune defenses, and damaging the gut barrier at a genetic level Researchers found that the sugar in soda flips bacterial DNA “switches” within days, changing immune signals and gut wall strength, but stopping sugar reverses these effects quickly Artificial sweeteners in diet sodas alter gut microbe balance, lower diversity, and promote inflammatory bacteria, harming immunity and metabolism even without sugar or calories Inorganic phosphate in soda absorbs into the bloodstream nearly 100%, spiking hormones that deplete calcium, suppress vitamin D, stress the kidneys, and harden the arteries Sugar and phosphate together create a rapid, sustained metabolic storm, undermining gut health, hormone balance, and cardiovascular function from multiple angles at once

Join Professor Iain McInnes for the latest episode of Discussing RA on The Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Disease Forum. In this episode, he highlights two papers: risk of MACE, VTE, and malignancies in patients with RA or UC treated with filgotinib and frequency of reporting of MACE, MI, and stroke between JAKis and anti-TNFα.

BUFFALO, NY - September 24, 2025 – A new #research paper was #published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget on September 22, 2025, titled “Loss of Trp53 results in a hypoactive T cell phenotype accompanied by reduced pro-inflammatory signaling in a syngeneic orthotopic mouse model of ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma.” In this study, led by first author Jacob Haagsma and corresponding author Trevor G. Shepherd from the Verspeeten Family Cancer Centre and Western University, Canada, researchers investigated how the loss of Trp53 – a critical tumor suppressor gene – affects immune responses in ovarian cancer. The team found that deleting Trp53 led to more aggressive tumor growth and a weaker immune response. These findings help explain why some ovarian tumors may be resistant to immunotherapy and point to new ways to improve treatment. High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC) is a deadly cancer that is often diagnosed at a late stage. Immunotherapy, which enhances the body's immune system to fight cancer, has shown limited effectiveness in treating this type of cancer. To better understand why, the researchers developed a mouse model that closely mimics human HGSC. They injected ovarian epithelial cells, with and without Trp53, into the fallopian tubes, the origin site of most ovarian cancers. “In this study, we developed a syngeneic model reflecting both the site of origin and the genotype of early HGSC disease by deleting Trp53 in mouse oviductal epithelial (OVE) cells.” Mice injected with cells lacking Trp53 developed faster-growing and more invasive tumors, reflecting how the disease typically progresses in humans. These tumors also had fewer active T cells, which are immune cells responsible for attacking cancer. Moreover, the T cells that were present appeared less capable of responding to the tumor, creating an immune environment that allowed cancer to grow uncontrolled. Further analysis revealed that tumor cells without Trp53 had reduced activity in genes related to inflammation. These changes were associated with lower levels of key proteins that normally help immune cells detect and attack tumor cells. When the researchers collected tumor cells from the abdominal fluid of the mice—a condition that simulates advanced-stage disease—they observed even lower immune signaling than before. This suggests that as the tumor spreads, it becomes better at evading the immune system. This study highlights how early genetic mutations can shape the interaction between tumors and the immune system. In particular, the loss of Trp53 appears to trigger a chain of events that weakens immune surveillance and accelerates tumor progression. These findings emphasize the need to consider both genetic mutations and the tumor environment when designing immunotherapies for ovarian cancer. Understanding how genes like Trp53 influence immune behavior may lead to more effective treatments and help identify which patients are most likely to benefit from immunotherapy.

We're bringing back another great episode for our special Menopause Matters Season – this time with the brilliant Angela Counsel. Angela is a naturopath, kinesiologist, and mindset coach working with women in midlife. Like me, she's on a mission to spread the word that menopause doesn't have to be a struggle. It can be a time of stepping into your wisdom and falling in love with yourself and your life. This conversation was recorded at a time when Covid-19 was very much part of our everyday lives, so we talk a lot about how to support both our hormonal balance and our immune systems in that context. Angela shares deep knowledge and practical tips, all grounded in her belief that midlife is a time of empowerment, not decline. This conversation is very much grounded in Lifestyle Medicine. Here's what we cover: -How our jobs can impact our health -How a miscarriage led Angela to study naturopathy -The impact of stress on women's bodies and how it can cause early menopause -The importance of hormonal balance at all stages of our lives -How it's not normal to experience lots of symptoms around the time of menopause, if we do that means there are issues that need to be dealt with -The many unnatural products in our lives that can impact our health -The impact of stress on our immune systems and immune -related health issues -If you struggle to get over a minor illness such as a cold then your immune system isn't working properly -Never getting sick is not necessarily a good thing either -The body's natural response to viral illness and how we can get in the way of that -Our over reliance on taking a pill to get better -Eating better, cleaner food to avoid pesticides -Vinegar can help to remove waxy coatings on fruit and pesticides -Eating organic if you can, especially if soft like broccoli and berries -Stress, fear and toilet paper -Alcohol, stress and the impact on menopause -The impact of vitamin D levels on people's Covid response -Why Australia has coped comparatively well with the pandemic And lots more!

Jake Aronoff is a human biologist studying immune function and aging from an evolutionary and ecological perspective. During his PhD, he studied how stress and social inequality impacts inflammation and immunosenescence in the Philippines and US. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at ASU studying inflammation and aging with Ben Trumble and the Tsimane Health and Life History Project. These studies focus on the development of chronic inflammation in later life (inflammaging), the links between metabolic and immune function (immunometabolism and meta-inflammation), and the relationship between infections, inflammation, and brain aging. His research also utilizes life history theory and energetic trade-offs to understand complex changes in biological functioning in later life, like the simultaneous occurrence of inflammaging and immunosenescence. ------------------------------ Find the paper discussed in this episode: Aronoff, J.

This week's episode will be focusing on Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura ( ITP).   We will go all the important details on causes, mechanism, diagnosis and treatment. The last time we covered this topic was in Sept 2022, and this comes up ALL the time in heme consults, and there will definitely be board review questions. It may also be tested on IM boards.

Dr. Ari Vojdani, Chief Scientific Officer at Cyrex Labs, describes the two primary components of the immune system--humoral and cell-mediated immunity and how the Cyrex diagnostics are designed to measure both. The Cyrex food immune reactivity testing measures antibodies against raw, cooked, modified, and processed food proteins as the structure of these proteins can change and affect immune responses. Cyrex is also developing tests to measure antibodies against various gut bacteria, fungi, and toxins, and how these relate to autoimmune conditions. Ari explains, "Cyrex performs lots of tests, but we can divide them based on the immune system. As you know, the immune system has two major components, the humoral and cell-mediated immunity. The humoral components of the immune system deal with measurements of antibodies. So when we get exposed to certain antigens, proteins of pathogens, food, or toxic chemicals, when they bind to human tissue, our body reacts to them, and the end result of that is specific antibody production against that specific protein or antigen." "The second component of the immune system is cell-mediated immunity, which looks at different lymphocytes, their markers, such as whether it is a T-cell, B-cell, CD4, CD8, T helper 1, T helper 2, regulatory T cells, or natural killer cells. So that also could be abnormal in certain inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. That's why at Cyrex, the tests that they are performing are classified based on humoral and cell-mediated immunity."   "In 1986 and 1987, I developed the ELISA method for measuring antibodies against different food antigens. Then I did not have the knowledge about the importance of raw versus cooked or raw versus modified foods. I established the methodologies, and many others came to visit my laboratories. Years later, they started their own laboratories. So they continue using the same raw food for measuring antibodies in their own laboratories." #CyrexLabs #FunctionalImmunology #FunctionalMedicine #immuneHealth #FoodSensitivity #FoodAllergies cyrexlabs.com Listen to the podcast here

When September hits, I always say it's like a second “New Year.” Schedules tighten, routines reset, and — let's be honest — the germs start flying. It is cootie season! packed classrooms, sports getting kids run down while exposure is increased. Between classrooms, sports teams, offices, and the changing seasons, our immune systems can be suddenly challenged. And this year, I want your family armed and ready — not with fear, but with resilience.I am going to talk about the basics, the foundations of immune health: the basics I wrote about in my book, get out of hormone hell. sleep, nutrition, hydration, and those sneaky daily habits that can either help or hurt. Because before you even think about supplements or fancy immune tonics, the truth is, like with any illness or complaint: if the basics aren't in place, your defenses are only half-built.So grab a notebook, maybe even your kids, and let's dive in.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 9-18-2025: Dr. Dawn opens by establishing her psychobiology background and introducing the neurohormonal axis connecting mind and body. She describes revolutionary research published in Nature Neuroscience showing that simply seeing sick people in virtual reality triggers actual immune responses. The study used VR avatars displaying infection symptoms approaching participants, measuring brain activity with EEG and fMRI while analyzing blood samples for immune cell changes. The research demonstrates that infectious avatars approaching in virtual reality activate the same immune pathways as actual flu vaccination. Brain areas including the salience network and peripersonal space system detect potential threats and communicate with the hypothalamus to trigger white blood cell activation. Proximity matters - threats 20 feet away don't trigger responses, but approaching threats do. Dr. Dawn explains the sophisticated methodology, including 128-channel EEG monitoring and flow cytometry analysis of immune markers. Participants showed faster reaction times when infectious avatars approached compared to neutral ones, demonstrating subconscious threat assessment. The study reveals built-in disgust responses that evolved to protect against pathogens. She comments on how her medical training rewire the protective disgust reaction through repeated exposure.. She transitions to discussing stress effects on gastrointestinal function, explaining how the gut-brain axis operates through the vagus nerve and neurohormonal pathways. The adrenal glands produce both immediate epinephrine responses and longer-term cortisol release, with chronic stress leading to digestive disruption, increased intestinal permeability, and microbiome changes that can trigger food sensitivities and autoimmune conditions. Dr. Dawn details the difference between acute and chronic stress responses in the gut. Acute stress redirects energy from digestion for fight-or-flight responses, while chronic stress causes mast cell activation, histamine release, mucus layer thinning, and bacterial overgrowth. These changes can lead to irritable bowel syndrome, increased food allergies, and even celiac disease in genetically susceptible individuals. The discussion covers various brain networks including the default mode network active during rest, the central executive network for problem-solving, and the salience network that switches between them when detecting important stimuli like threats, food, or reproductive opportunities. Functional MRI studies show these networks' activity patterns and their connections to immune system regulation through the hypothalamus. Dr. Dawn emphasizes practical implications for modern life, warning that constant screen exposure and doom-scrolling activate chronic stress responses unnecessarily. She recommends avoiding phones upon waking, spending time outdoors, wearing amber glasses for evening screen use, and practicing specific breathing techniques - inhaling for 5 counts, holding for 5, exhaling for 5, holding for 5 - to regulate nervous system activation and reduce inflammatory responses.

Creatine isn't just for athletes — it fuels brain function, immune response, and recovery from stress and illness by supporting how your cells make and recycle energy Older adults, vegetarians, and those with brain fog or long COVID are especially likely to benefit from creatine, as natural production and intake often fall short Daily creatine supplementation improves memory, learning, and executive function in aging adults, including those with Alzheimer's disease When combined with resistance training, creatine helps build lean muscle, speed recovery, and reduce the risk of frailty-related falls and fractures Grass fed red meat is one of the best food sources, but supplementing 3 to 5 grams of creatine monohydrate daily is a safe and effective way to increase levels

Creatine Without the Bloat: Con-Cret's Founder on HCL vs. MonohydrateClick On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comOver 40 Fitness Hacks SKOOL Group!Get Your Whoop4.0 Here!Mark Faulkner - Con-Cret SupplementsSocial Media: @concret_creatinewww.Con-Cret.comBrad opened by sharing your personal experience with creatine monohydrate — its benefits for strength and endurance, but also the downside of bloating and water retention that kept you from using it consistently. Mark clarified that “HCL” vs. “hcl” is just a marketing capitalization difference and explained that creatine hydrochloride (HCL) can offer the same benefits with fewer side effects due to its superior bioavailability.Mark shared his science-heavy background (physics, biochemistry, toxicology) and his experience co-founding a forensic toxicology lab. His team built the NFL's steroid testing program, which sparked his interest in safe, legal performance enhancers. After selling the lab, he partnered with sports medicine researchers to find steroid alternatives that could help athletes recover and maintain strength safely. This search led to creatine HCL, which showed strong results for strength, endurance, and recovery without the typical side effects of monohydrate.Bioavailability & Efficiency: Creatine HCL is more easily absorbed due to its chemical structure and compatibility with stomach acid (HCL), allowing smaller doses to deliver more creatine to muscle, brain, and immune cells.Side Effects: Princeton research shows over 50% of men and 75% of women experience bloating and GI distress with monohydrate, which is largely avoided with HCL.Performance Benefits: Faster recovery, increased training capacity, and leaner muscle gains compared to monohydrate.Mark emphasized that creatine supports all cells — not just muscles:Brain health & cognition: Supports energy for thinking and memory.Immune system: T-cells upregulate creatine receptors before attacking pathogens or abnormal cells (e.g., cancer), so adequate creatine helps them “win the fight.”Disease prevention & longevity: The CDC is investigating low creatine levels as a factor in rising chronic disease rates.Mark provided a three-tier approach:Daily Health: 750 mg per day for most people.Exercise / Biohacking: 750 mg per 100 lbs of body weight 30–60 minutes pre-workout (double up on very strenuous days).Medical/Disease States: Higher doses (up to 4–6 g daily) split into multiple servings.He also noted that creatine should be taken daily with no need to cycle off, and extra doses can help with fatigue, poor sleep, or jet lag.Mark stressed that over 90% of creatine is made in China, and quality can vary dramatically. Con-Cret is the only U.S.-made creatine, manufactured in an NSF-certified facility in Nebraska, ensuring purity and safety for athletes who undergo drug testing. Con-Cret holds multiple patents for its creatine HCL technology, further setting it apart.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV

Get my FREE weightloss videos (The Secrets to How I Lost 100lbs): www.nobsfreecourse.com   For years, I thought women who didn't struggle with food were some kind of unicorns. Born with magic metabolisms. Craving celery instead of chips. Immune to late-night binge urges. But after coaching thousands of women—and losing 100lbs myself—I finally figured it out: They're not magical. They're just doing a few key things differently. And here's the wild part: None of it requires willpower. Or motivation. Or some perfect diet plan. In this episode, I'm breaking down the five things women who don't struggle with food actually do—and how you can start doing them too. You'll learn: The daily mindset shifts that help them eat like a “normal person” What they don't do when the scale goes up or a day goes off-plan How they stay consistent without obsessing over every bite If you've ever wondered, “Why is this so easy for some people?”—this is your episode. Listen now and start seeing what's actually possible… not just for “them,” but for you.
