How do ultra-processed foods change the way your genes behave? In this episode, I talk with my longtime friend and mentor, Dr. Jeffrey Bland, about why ultra-processed foods may be the most dangerous health experiment humans have ever run. We explored how food acts as information—shaping gene expression, immune health, and even how full or satisfied you feel. Dr. Bland, often called the father of functional medicine, brings decades of insight into how modern food systems are quietly rewriting our biology. Dr. Jeffrey Bland is known as the father of functional medicine and has spent over five decades studying how food, lifestyle, and biology shape human health. He's a prolific educator, researcher, and founder behind multiple institutes, including Big Bold Health, dedicated to personalized and preventive medicine. What you'll learn: (02:44) Why ultra-processed foods may be the biggest driver of modern chronic disease. (04:32) How food functions as biological information that influences gene expression. (06:49) Why life expectancy is declining despite advances in modern medicine. (09:22) How ultra-processed foods disrupt the gut microbiome and immune system. (17:38) What distinguishes healthy gut bacteria from harmful microbial patterns. (24:39) Why poor satiety from processed foods fuels weight gain and GLP-1 drug use. (28:29) How bitter compounds in natural foods naturally stimulate satiety hormones. (39:39) One simple mindset shift that can immediately improve food choices and health. Love the podcast?

In this episode, @Joli.artist confronts the revelations emerging from the Epstein files and calls on listeners to reclaim their power in a world run by forces that depend on our collective silence and inaction.Joli dismantles the narrative that "nothing is going to happen," exposing it as deliberate psychological programming designed to keep people disempowered. She draws on evolutionary biology, the nature of cancer cells, and even goat farming to illustrate why antisocial elements must be removed from any functioning system, and why good people are not the exception but the biological norm.From the Milgram experiments to the French Revolution, Joli traces humanity's long history of exile as a survival mechanism, arguing that what we're witnessing today is no different. She challenges listeners to stop treating passivity as goodness, reject the "turn the other cheek" conditioning, and start putting points on the scoreboard for good, beginning with defending themselves.The episode builds toward a profound exploration of how perception shapes reality, drawing on the placebo and nocebo effects, Robert Anton Wilson's work, and the podcast's core thesis that we are living in a simulation that responds to what we hold in our minds.••Earth Is Presently Sick. We Must Become the Immune System. https://medium.com/@joli.artist/earth-is-presently-sick-we-must-become-the-immune-system-5bde9e0d4ad3 ••Key Insights from this Episode:• The Scoreboard of Good vs Evil: Joli reframes daily life as a simulation where every act of courage or cowardice tips the scales, and doing nothing when you witness harm is a point scored for evil.• Be Good With Teeth: Drawing from her own experience, Joli argues that kindness without boundaries enables abuse to spread, and that true goodness requires the willingness to fight back.• Cancer Cell Theory of Evil: Pedophiles, predators, and narcissists are not just bad people; they are cancerous cells in the human organism that must be identified and removed for the body to survive.• The Mind as Weapon and Shield: From placebo effects to collective meditation reducing crime rates, Joli makes the case that your mind is the most powerful tool you have, and that it is actively being weaponized against you.• Bloom in Hell: In a world designed to exhaust and demoralize, your existence and your actions matter right now, not in a thousand years. Be beautiful in spite of the dystopia, because that beauty is what inspires others to wake up.

Guest: Daniel Lyman, VP of Threat Detection and Response, Fiserv Topics: What is the right way for people to bridge the gap and translate executive dreams and board goals into the reality of life on the ground? How do we talk to people who think they have "transformed" their SOC simply by buying a better, shinier product (like a modern SIEM) while leaving their old processes intact? What are the specific challenges and advantages you've seen with a federated SOC versus a centralized one? What does a "federated" or "sub-SOC" model actually mean in practice? Why is the message that "EDR doesn't cover everything" so hard for some people to hear? Is this obsession with EDR a business decision or technology debt? How do you expect AI to change the calculus around data centralization versus data federation? What is your favorite example of telemetry that is useful, but usually excluded from a SIEM? What are the Detection and Response organizational metrics that you think are most valuable? Is the continued use of Excel an issue of tooling, laziness, or just because it is a fundamentally good way to interact with a small database?

As AI systems grow more autonomous, the question is no longer just what they can do, but whether we can trust the data and models behind their decisions. In this episode of Alexa's Input (AI), Alexa Griffith talks with Wendy Chin, CEO of PureCipher, about building what she calls an artificial immune system for AI, a framework designed to make data, models, and inference tamper-evident across the AI lifecycle.They unpack what data poisoning really means (training data, weights and biases, inference inputs), why small amounts of targeted poison can create outsized model misbehavior, and how generative AI lowers the barrier to sophisticated malware. The conversation expands into the security implications of agent-to-agent communication via MCP, digital twins, and why we don't have the luxury of “shipping now and securing later.” It's a wide-ranging discussion that moves from practical threat models to the philosophical frontier of what happens as AI becomes more human-like, and more autonomous.Podcast LinksWatch: https://www.youtube.com/@alexa_griffithRead: https://alexasinput.substack.com/Listen: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/alexagriffith/More: https://linktr.ee/alexagriffithWebsite: https://alexagriffith.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexa-griffith/Find out more about the guest at:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wendy-chin-ctg/Website: https://www.purecipher.com/Chapters00:00 Introduction to AI Security01:16 Understanding Data Poisoning04:38 The Dangers of Malware in AI07:46 AI's Moral Dilemmas and Decision Making08:45 Building Empathy in AI13:07 The Role of Good Data in AI Training17:02 PureCypher's Artificial Immune System22:34 Digital Twins and Their Implications25:22 Nurturing AI Like a Child30:53 Data Therapy for AI36:13 The Future of AI and Human Interaction38:45 The Dark Side of AI: Hacking and Security45:03 Global Perspectives on AI Security48:11 MCP Agents and Security Concerns51:41 Philosophical Implications of AI and Human Connection01:00:04 The Sci-Fi Future of AI and Humanity

Short Description (shows in podcast apps): Your thymus shrinks 3% every year from your teens — and 80% of adults carry a dormant virus silently hijacking their immune capacity. Lisa Tamati breaks down the science of immune aging, the CMV factor, and evidence-based strategies using colostrum, carnosic acid, and targeted bioactives to rebuild your immune architecture. Full Description: Your immune system doesn't just fight colds — it's the foundation of your longevity, brain health, and recovery capacity. But here's what most people don't realize: immune aging (immunosenescence) begins as early as your teenage years, and your thymus gland — the training ground for your T-cells — is already shrinking. In this episode, Lisa dives into the Immunosenescence Paradox: why aging makes your body less effective at fighting infections while simultaneously driving chronic inflammation (inflammaging). She also uncovers the CMV Factor — a silent virus carried by roughly 80% of adults that "occupies" your immune system's resources, leaving you increasingly vulnerable to new threats. What you'll learn in this episode: – What immunosenescence is and why it accelerates faster than most people expect – How your thymus gland deteriorates and what that means for T-cell production – The CMV Factor: how cytomegalovirus silently depletes your immune reserves – Why aging triggers more inflammation, not less — the inflammaging paradox – Four actionable strategies to slow and reverse immune decline – The role of colostrum, carnosic acid, and New Zealand-grown kawakawa in immune rebuilding – Which blood markers reveal your true immune age Resources mentioned:
On today's Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with a medical success story with a new cancer vaccine, the importance of a strong immune system, and how we are inadvertently aging ourselves faster. Next, Doug and Dr. Ken address an increase in life expectancy, a study showing night owls have a higher risk of heart disease than early birds, and the state of public health (specifically where we're at with measles outbreaks. Moving on, Dr. Ken breaks down how weight-loss drugs are being shown to have a positive effect on heart-health when helping with weight loss. Continuing on with the discussion on heart-health and optimal cardiovascular awareness, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss what the numbers of blood pressure mean and why spikes happen at various times. Then, Doug and Dr. Ken address listener questions with a strong focus on the MIT Smart Pill, a biodegradable antenna that transmits a wireless signal from the stomach to confirm medication has been swallowed. Designed to improve adherence for high-risk patients, the pill uses zinc and cellulose materials to safely dissolve within a week, leaving only a tiny, non-biodegradable RFID chip that is naturally excreted.

Guest: Alex Shulman-Peleg, Global CISO at Kraken Topics: You mentioned that centralized security can't work anymore. Can you elaborate on the key changes—driven by cloud, SaaS, and AI—that have made this traditional model unsustainable for a modern organization? Why do some persist at centralized, top down approach to security, despite that? What do you mean by "Freedom, Responsibility and distributed security"? Can you explain the difference between "centralized security" and what you define as "security with distributed ownership"? Is this the same "federated"? In our conversation you mentioned "cloud and AI- native", what do you mean by this (especially "AI-native") and how is this changing your approach to security? You introduce the concept of "Security as quality" suggesting that a security-unaware developer is essentially a bad software developer. How do you shift the culture and internal metrics to make security an inherent quality standard, rather than a separate, compliance-driven checklist? You likened the central security team's new role to a "911 emergency service." Beyond incident response, what stays central no matter what, and how does the central team successfully influence the security posture of the entire organization without being directly responsible for the day-to-day work.

In this episode of Doorknob Comments, Grant and Fara chat with Dr. Tom Pollak about the complex relationship between the immune system, the brain, and mental illness. Dr. Pollak is a NIHR Clinical Lecturer at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience at King's College London and a specialty trainee general adult psychiatrist at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust with a specialist interest in neuropsychiatry. Listeners will learn how doctors distinguish true autoimmune brain disorders from primary psychiatric conditions, why tests like spinal fluid analysis are complicated but sometimes crucial, and how both “it's all psychological” and “it's all biological” explanations can miss the bigger picture. Their conversation offers a nuanced look at how mind, brain, body, and environment interact, and why good psychiatric care requires holding all of those pieces together.We hope you enjoy.

The vagus nerve, also known as the Great Nerve, connects the brain to all parts of the body, like an internet (Figure below). Every week we're learning more about its importance for health and disease. Until recent years the brain and immune system were thought to be in separate “firewalled” compartments. But that turned out to be far from the truth.Dr. Kevin Tracey, who directs the Feinstein Institute at Northwell Health, has been studying the vagus nerve for more than 3 decades. In the early 1990's he made the seminal observation that stimulating the vagus reduces the inflammatory cytokine known as tumor necrosis factor (TNF), what he described at the time as a “holy s**t” moment. In 2025 he published the book THE GREAT NERVE with many rich patient anecdotes and the history for how this field developed.I wrote about the brain-immune axis previously on Ground Truths, spotlighting the vagus nerve's role. That included much more on depth of the pathways if you are interested.We discussed the recent FDA July approval for refractory rheumatoid arthritis (RA)(unresponsive to medications or intolerance to medical therapy) based on a sham-controlled randomized trial published in December 2025 in Nature Medicine. It is striking that the benefits were derived from 1 minute of vagal stimulation per day. That stimulation is barely perceived (tingling, many not at all) by device recipients. The surgery takes one hour to implant the tiny stimulator device along side the vagus nerve in the neck. But this is much bigger than a treatment for RA. It is now being tested for lupus, Crohn's disease, and other autoimmune conditions. That's beyond the role vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has played for epilepsy and depression, independent of VNS's anti-inflammatory impact (Tracey named it “the inflammatory reflex”).We also discussed handheld VNS devices, potential use for Long Covid and POTS, cold plunges, heart rate variability, stress, and other topics related to the vagus nerve and parasympathetic nervous system (the brakes, “rest and digest” as opposed to the sympathetic nervous system (the gas, “fight or flight”).Most people are not aware of this device approved treatment for an autoimmune disease. Our treatments are so drug-centric but they are immunosuppressive, have important side-effects, and are expensive. It's good to see a non-drug approach get compelling data as an alternative. Moreover, as I recently wrote about, there's a shift ongoing from treatment to cures vs autoimmune diseases that will be adding to the mix.Here are some very recent papers about the vagus nerve to give you a sense about how its prominence is getting appreciated more all the timeGut-brain-vagus axis for reward circuit and addiction, 30 Jan 2026, Science AdvancesRandomized trial of VNS for depression , Int J of Neuropsychopharm 2026 The vagus nerve role in heart function after a heart attack, Cell, February 2026Vagus receptors and hemorrhage, blood volume, Nature, 28 Jan 2026A Quick PollThank you Harshi Peiris, Ph.D., Tay MacIntyre, David Dansereau, MSPT, Max Manwaring-Mueller, RJ, and over 600 others for tuning into my live video with Kevin J.

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1878DMYour body is basically a crowded planet, and the gut is the capital city. Dr. Will Bulsiewicz drops the kind of perspective-shift that makes you sit up straight: around 38 trillion microbes live in you, and he paints a wild “football field” picture where almost all the genetic code in your body belongs to them. Then he connects the dots to why you might feel exhausted and inflamed: 70% of your immune system is stationed in the gut lining, right next to those microbes, separated by just a single layer of cells. When that gut barrier gets weak, unwanted stuff slips through, your immune system stays activated 24/7, and that chronic low-grade inflammation starts quietly wrecking the neighborhood.The takeaway lands hard because it's personal: your microbiome reflects your life. Food choices, sleep, circadian rhythm, exercise, connection with your partner, even old trauma patterns, all leave fingerprints in the gut. Instead of treating inflammation like a mystery enemy, this conversation nudges you to focus on the gate, the gut barrier, so your immune system doesn't have to live on high alert. It's a grounding way to think about healing: less panic, more rebuilding, and a reminder that small daily choices can move you from constant internal stress toward real, steady energy.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Guest: Royal Hansen, VP of Engineering at Google, former CISO of Alphabet Topics: The "God-Like Designer" Fallacy: You've argued that we need to move away from the "God-like designer" model of security—where we pre-calculate every risk like building a bridge—and towards a biological model. Can you explain why that old engineering mindset is becoming risky in today's cloud and AI environments? Resilience vs. Robustness: In your view, what is the practical difference between a robust system (like a fortress that eventually breaks) and a resilient system (like an immune system)? How does a CISO start shifting their team's focus from creating the former to nurturing the latter? Securing the Unknown: We're entering an era where AI agents will call other agents, creating pathways we never explicitly designed. If we can't predict these interactions, how can we possibly secure them? What does "emergent security" look like in practice? Primitives for Agents: You mentioned the need for new "biological primitives" for these agents—things like time-bound access or inherent throttling. Are these just new names for old concepts like Zero Trust, or is there something different about how we need to apply them to AI? The Compliance Friction: There's a massive tension between this dynamic, probabilistic reality and the static, checklist-based world of many compliance regimes. How do you, as a leader, bridge that gap? How do you convince an auditor or a board that a "probabilistic" approach doesn't just mean "we don't know for sure"? "Safe" Failures: How can organizations get comfortable with the idea of designing for allowable failure in their subsystems, rather than striving for 100% uptime and security everywhere?

Welcome to our very first Natural Super Kids Podcast episode of 2026! We hope you've had a beautiful festive season with your family, wherever you are in the world. ❄️☀️This week on the podcast, we're kicking off a new series with a topic so many parents are quietly struggling with: why eczema and allergies are becoming more common in kids (affecting almost 30% of children) and what actually helps beyond creams and avoidance.If your child has eczema, food sensitivities, hay fever, asthma, or “reacts to everything,” this episode will help you zoom out and understand what's really going on inside their immune system without blame, guilt, or overwhelm.Have a listen as we break down the bigger picture behind rising allergy rates, explain why this isn't something you caused, and introduce a more hopeful, long-term way to support your child's health from the inside out.In this episode, we explore:Why eczema and allergies are so common in kids today, and why this rise can't be explained by genetics alone.How modern lifestyles affect the immune system, including what the hygiene hypothesis really means (and what it doesn't).The role of the gut and microbiome in eczema and allergic disease, and why immune regulation matters more than suppression.What parents can realistically influence at home, even when wider environmental factors feel out of your control.
Influenza usually starts in November, and cases increase throughout the winter, not fading until March or so. This year's flu season is especially severe.

In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Anurag Singh, a leading physician-researcher and Chief Medical Officer at Timeline, to discuss a groundbreaking discovery: the gut-muscle-immune axis. While we often focus on muscle mass for longevity, new research published in Nature Aging reveals that our immune system undergoes a similar decline, with youthful sentinel cells (naive CD8 T-cells) dropping by 75% as we reach age 50. Dr. Singh explains how mitophagy —the targeted recycling of damaged mitochondria—is the key to "rewiring" an aging immune system to fight infection 20% more effectively. In this episode: Alzheimer's of the Muscle: Why sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM) is often misdiagnosed as simple aging. The Power of Urolithin A: How this postbiotic compound induces mitophagy to increase mitochondrial abundance by 20% in just 28 days. Immune Imprinting: Why children get 6-8 colds a year while adults only average 2-4. Repurposing Longevity Drugs: Dr. Singh's take on Metformin, Rapamycin, and GLP-1s for life extension.

In this New Year's Day episode of The Wright Report, Bryan offers a forward-looking briefing on the massive migrant fraud investigations now unfolding nationwide, rising unrest inside Iran, the future of human espionage in an age of AI surveillance, and new research that could dramatically strengthen the immune system this winter. A Nationwide Migrant Fraud Reckoning: Bryan previews a major investigation he is assembling on migrant fraud rings operating far beyond Minnesota. Independent journalists are uncovering suspicious nonprofit operations tied to Medicaid and other taxpayer-funded programs in states including Washington, Ohio, New York, Massachusetts, Michigan, and California. Bryan explains why this could become one of the biggest domestic scandals in decades, potentially involving billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars sent overseas. Why This Fraud Matters to Every Taxpayer: As Americans prepare to file their taxes, Bryan asks a blunt question. Why should citizens pay billions to Washington if that money is being stolen and routed to foreign nationals and their home countries? He argues the situation violates the most basic American principles and says the Founders rebelled over far less. Iran's Protests and a Dangerous Balancing Act: Bryan is consulting intelligence sources to assess unrest inside Iran. He explains that the regime often allows protests to burn for a time to release pressure, but the danger is letting them grow into a true revolution. The key question he is exploring is how worried the Ayatollah truly is about losing control and what signs would signal that a counter-revolution is near. The Future of Human Spying: Responding to a listener question, Bryan teases a deep dive into the future of espionage. He explains how digital exhaust, constant surveillance, and artificial intelligence make it more complicated than ever for CIA officers to recruit and protect foreign assets. He warns that hostile intelligence services can now identify, flip, and feed disinformation back to U.S. leaders, shaping decisions about war and peace. Promising Immune System Research: Bryan shares excitement about new European research showing the immune system can be reset and strengthened in just twenty-eight days. The compound used in the study is already available over the counter and is included in a product he has previously endorsed. He says the findings reinforce his commitment to only partner with products backed by real science.

There is a growing awareness in psychiatry that not all psychiatric illness is psychiatric— some percentage of what presents in psychiatric settings is actually triggered by autoimmune responses to various pathogens and insults. In the late '90s a syndrome called PANDAS (pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with strep) came on the scene with cases of sudden onset OCD and tics that appeared in conjunction with strep infections. The theory behind PANDAS was that parts of the basal ganglia of the brain had exterior cell proteins which were very similar to those of the strep bacteria, and as the immune system began to attack the strep bacteria, it also began an autoimmune assault on parts of the midbrain, including the basal ganglia, thus producing a sudden onset of OCD or tics.In recent years PANDAS has evolved into a broader concept called PANS— pediatric acute onset neuropsychiatric syndrome— which includes a vast array of neurological and psychiatric symptoms and syndromes that can potentially be triggered by autoimmune reactions. It can be tricky to diagnose PANS….this is probably why it is still a somewhat controversial diagnosis in some arenas. We don't have a clear and consistent set of labs or biomarkers to positively determine PANS, and because the syndrome is so broad in how it can present, clinicians struggle to come up with a modal or average presentation that they can put in their pattern recognition systems. One feature that seems fairly classic for PANS is that the symptoms tend to increase during and/or right after a concomitant infectious illness, presumably because the immune system activation is reigniting the autoimmune attack on the central nervous system.Today's story features a mom, Kari, and her daughter, Zoe. Zoe had lots of illness and immune system issues as a young child, first fatigue and then GI symptoms, then profound mood instability, and then she eventually developed horrific treatment resistant anorexia which did not respond to the best treatments psychiatry had to offer.Support the show! https://www.buzzsprout.com/396871/support"I Love You, I Hate You, Are You My Mom?"

Dr. Glen Jeffery, PhD, is a professor of neuroscience at University College London and a leading expert on how different colors (wavelengths) of light impact cellular, organ and overall health. He explains that long-wavelength light (red, near-infrared and infrared) can enter the body and brain to enhance mitochondrial function and thereby improve metabolism, eyesight, blood glucose regulation, mood, hormones and more. We also discuss how short-wavelength light from LED bulbs can impair mitochondrial health and why balanced, full-spectrum light is essential for health. Dr. Jeffery shares simple yet powerful ways to use natural and artificial light sources to enhance your metabolic function, eyesight and longevity.
