September is when the bugs come back for everyone. Here's how to fight back.  Today we cover: What a journalist learns about the wellness industry once she's on the other side of the notebook. Why September is the start of cold season for all of us, not just families with kids, and whether the "immunity dip" is real Lactoferrin explained: the protein in breast milk that steals iron from bacteria.

Immune boosting herbs are popular, and it's not hard to see why. Everyone wants to avoid getting sick! It makes intuitive sense to a lot of folks that if you amp up your immunity, you'll be more resilient in the face of germs – or I guess, more resilient to germs in your face! But hang on. What does “immune boosting” even mean? Is immunity really a singular ‘thing' that can be stimulated, like sliding a dimmer switch upwards? Is it all just a matter of stimulating white blood cell activity? As is always the case in biology and medicine, the truth is more complicated than that.This is particularly relevant in the context of autoimmunity, where some of the so-called “immune boosting herbs” can actually have adverse effects. If you overstimulate an immune system that's attacking your own body, you just intensify the attack. So the question arises: what can a person with an autoimmune condition do to keep their defenses up? If we can't stimulate immunity, what can we do?The answer is: a lot. And it's all stuff that anyone can do, whether autoimmune or not. In our experience, it's also a lot more important than the immune stimulant herbs, because it's more foundational and more individualized than the “elderberry & echinacea for everyone!” one-size-fits-all approach.We can start by changing our focus from immune stimulation to immune modulation. This isn't just wordplay. Modulation of immunity means making multiple simultaneous adjustment in multiple directions, whereas stimulation is ALL AHEAD FORWARD. True immunity is a complex interplay of multiple organs, cell types, and signaling molecules in the body. Dialing everything up to 11 isn't constructive, but a strategic nudge in the right direction at the right time? That gets the job done, and immunomodulating herbs – like mushrooms and seaweeds – can do exactly that.Immunity is often discussed in martial metaphors: the pathogenic assault, the immune defenses, the combat between them. But if we follow this metaphor all the way, we should realize that logistics and supply lines are often what makes the difference in a real-world conflict, and this is no less true in our bodies. Lymphatics, nutritives, and sleep aid herbs can be much more helpful than immune-boosting herbs for this reason.The best defense is… a good defense, actually. Better to keep the germs out than to let them in, let them proliferate, and then get your guns blazing. Maintaining healthy boundaries, quite literally, is a key strategy. These are your points of contact with the outside world: your sinuses, your lungs, your GI tract. And even if you're autoimmune, you can work with demulcents, astringents, and vulneraries to keep their membranes functioning well.Our brand-new Winter Health bundle is the best way to go deeper in this material – and there's a lot further to go.

Suggest Guests For Our Podcast: https://forms.gle/ytt6a9jxe8YwzsGD6 Can you really boost your immunity? Are autoimmune diseases increasing in Nepal? And how much do we actually understand about the human immune system? In this episode of the Sushant Pradhan Podcast, Prof. Dr. Dharmagat Bhattarai, Nepal's first and only subspecialist in Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology, explains the science behind immunity, autoimmune diseases, immune disorders, allergies, and rheumatological conditions. Dr. Dharmagat Bhattarai discusses why autoimmune diseases may be increasing, how immune diseases are treated in Nepal, and why Nepal still has significant awareness gaps around immune system diseases. He explains what the immune system actually is, whether age affects immunity, how people should approach a check-up for immunity disorders, and why the idea that you can simply "boost" your immune system is misleading. The conversation also explores how to make the immune system function properly, the limitations of the human body, genes and disease, gene editing, bone marrow transplantation and the rare ARPC1B disorder. Why does ARPC1B appear to affect some Nepalese patients? What can genetic research tell us about disease? And how could gene editing shape the future of human health? This episode covers the immune system, autoimmune diseases in Nepal, immune disorders, immunology in Nepal, rheumatology, allergies, ARPC1B, gene editing, bone marrow transplant, and the future of human genes.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared continues The Intelligence of Symptoms series by looking at three of the body's most annoying responses: mucus, coughing, and skin eruptions. Rather than automatically suppressing these symptoms, he explains the roles they may play in helping the body trap, move, and eliminate unwanted material. Jared examines common pharmaceutical approaches including decongestants, antihistamines, cough suppressants, codeine, and topical steroids, while discussing potential drawbacks of routinely shutting down these natural responses. He also shares practical and natural supportive options that work with your body. The goal is simple - understand what the body may be trying to accomplish before automatically silencing the symptom. Additional Information:***Watch for all 4 parts of this series on Symptoms!Visit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

What if the answer to better health isn't always another prescription?In this episode of the Revelations Podcast, Reagan welcomes back Dr. George Kramer for a fascinating conversation about the history of medicine, the rise of the pharmaceutical model, and the growing return to natural and whole-person approaches to health.Dr. Kramer shares how his experience at Mayo Clinic and decades of practicing physical and integrative medicine shaped his approach to healing. They discuss how medicine moved from an emphasis on prevention, nutrition, lifestyle, and the body's natural ability to heal toward a system increasingly focused on diagnosing disease and treating symptoms with medication.They explore the importance of diet, exercise, sleep, morning light, breathing, stress reduction, gut health, vitamins and minerals, and spiritual health. Dr. Kramer also explains why he believes the mind, body, spirit, and soul should all be considered when looking at a person's health.You'll also hear personal stories about magnesium, migraines, atrial fibrillation, chronic pain, hormone health, prayer, and the surprising ways seemingly simple changes can make a difference.Dr. Kramer explains why he believes medicine is beginning to rediscover some of the principles that natural and integrative practitioners have emphasized for decades—and why patients can take a more active role in understanding and caring for their health.Most importantly, this conversation points back to a biblical perspective: our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, and caring for our health can be part of caring for what God has entrusted to us.Find more from Revelations Podcast hosted by Reagan Kramer: Website | Instagram | Apple Podcast | YoutubeBecome Part of Our Mission!

Innate–Adaptive Balance and BWH 85 Beta-Glucan with Functional Medicine Physician Dr. Rob Rountree: He brings a nuanced view of immunity that rejects the simple “immune boosting” dimmer-switch model and emphasizes immune regulation and readiness. He reviews innate immunity as sentinel cells using pattern recognition receptors (e.g., macrophages) and explains how innate and adaptive systems interface, with innate signaling training adaptive responses; chronic inflammatory disease is framed as rooted in innate dysregulation. He reveals how immune responses can both protect and harm (candida, cytokine storm concerns during COVID) and why test-tube “stimulation” doesn't equal human effects. The focus is a purified brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) beta-1,3/1,6-glucan (BWH 85, 85% purity), its triple-helix structure, receptors (Dectin-1, CR3), dosing (100–500 mg), evidence for improving vaccine response in elders, and potential relevance for autoimmunity, athletes, and cancer surveillance alongside lifestyle and key nutrients like vitamins A, C, D and zinc.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with functional medicine practitioner Robert Rountree, MD, medical director of Boulder Wellcare, in Boulder, Colorado, and long-time educator at the Institute for Functional Medicine.

BUFFALO, NY — September 16, 2026 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 18 of Aging on August 28, 2026, titled “Human-relevant Ptpn6 mutation alters immune and hepatic functions during aging.” The study examines how a mutation affecting the immune and metabolic regulator SHP-1 reshapes liver function during aging, revealing that improved glucose metabolism can coexist with immune-cell accumulation and liver fibrosis. The research was led by first author Beisy Laborit Labrada from the Institut Universitaire de Cardiologie et de Pneumologie de Québec (CRIUCPQ), Université Laval, Québec, Canada. André Marette, from CRIUCPQ and the Department of Medicine at Université Laval, is the corresponding author. SHP-1, encoded by the PTPN6 gene, is a protein tyrosine phosphatase that helps regulate both immune responses and metabolic signaling. In immune cells, it generally restrains signaling pathways that control cellular activation, while in metabolic tissues it acts as a negative regulator of insulin signaling. This dual function places SHP-1 at an important intersection between immunity and metabolism, two systems that undergo substantial changes during aging. The study centered on a rare PTPN6Ala455Thr variant originally identified in a French-Canadian family with early-onset severe emphysema. The human mutation moderately reduces SHP-1 phosphatase activity. To investigate its longer-term effects, the researchers used mice carrying the corresponding Ptpn6Ala457Thr mutation and compared young adult mice at 5.6 months with older animals at 16–19 months. Unlike more severe SHP-1-deficient mouse models, these animals have lifespans comparable to wild-type mice, allowing the consequences of partial SHP-1 dysfunction to be examined across aging.

Today's conversation explores a tiny structure in the brain that most people haveprobably never thought much about—the hypothalamus.Yet according to today's guest, it plays a central role in regulating our hormones,nervous system, immune system, metabolism and even our gut.If you've ever felt like you're constantly chasing symptoms—treating hormones one month, digestion the next, then fatigue, immunity or sleep—you may have wondered whether there's a bigger picture connecting it all.Joining me today is Deborah Maragopoulos, known tomany as the Hormone Queen.

On the eve of the third anniversary of Scott Spivey's killing, his family filed a bombshell federal lawsuit against Horry County and 13 current and former police officers — including former Deputy Chief Brandon Strickland, former Chief Joseph Hill, and "act like a victim" Officer Damon Vescovi.  The complaint alleges a coordinated conspiracy to steer the investigation toward exonerating Weldon Boyd and Bradley Williams from the very first hours: unseized phones, returned weapons, disabled body cameras, coached witnesses, a retroactively altered on-call schedule, a wiped tablet — and, for the first time in a court filing, the allegation that officers planted drugs in Scott's truck.  Investigative journalists ⁠⁠Mandy Matney⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠Liz Farrell⁠⁠ break down the full list of accusations, revisit Strickland's own recorded words about working "in the shadows," and explain why the Spivey family's fight against qualified immunity may be the battle of all battles.  Let's Dive In…

The stunning triumph of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in a German state election represents a true “challenge to democracy” and has shaken the country’s Jewish community, said author and activist Dr. Ofer Waldman, speaking on the Haaretz Podcast “It's the first time that a right‑extremist party has had such a landslide victory in Germany,” said Waldman, who heads the Heinrich Boll Foundation office in Tel Aviv. Haaretz writer and editor David Issacharoff, who joined Waldman on the podcast for a discussion of the election results, said that state of Saxony-Anhalt, which gave 44 percent of its vote to the controversial AfD party, is populated by voters who “feel abandoned, forgotten, and very isolated,” blaming the state and mainstream parties for their situation and channeling their resentment in an extremist political direction. This is worsened, both Waldman and Issacharoff said, by the fact that East Germany was not part of the post-Holocaust democracy education push in the West. "Keeping Jewish memory there is a real struggle of individuals in that state, and they're up against real forces of neo‑Nazis,” Issacharoff noted, Both commentators pointed to the contrast between the expressed deep worry and concern of the German Jewish community regarding AfD antisemitism, and the resounding “utter silence” coming from the Israeli government – together with comments from Israel’s ambassador in Berlin during the election campaign that highlighted antisemitism on the left, while downplaying the AfD’s positions. "When Israel and its representative in Germany focus all the fire towards the left, then they're totally absolving the right from its responsibility for antisemitism. And when the representatives of the Jewish state say that, it matters in Germany," Issacharoff said. Waldman added the source of the dissonance was “what is perceived as a mutual enemy” by Israel’s far-right government. “The AfD is perceived as the enemy of the Muslim community in Germany and, as such, a possible ally to the current Israeli administration,” Waldman said.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared kicks off a 4 part series challenging the way we think about symptoms. Are fever, inflammation, and pain problems to eliminate, or intelligent responses designed to protect and repair the body? Jared explores why the body creates these signals, what they may be trying to accomplish, and what can happen when we automatically suppress them. He examines fever and immune response, inflammation and tissue repair, pain as protective communication, and the widespread use of acetaminophen, NSAIDs, and opioids. You'll also hear the troubling history of Vioxx and OxyContin and why understanding the cause behind a symptom matters. This episode offers a different framework - listen to what your body is telling you before simply trying to silence the signal. Additional Information:***Watch for all 4 parts of this series on Symptoms!Visit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

In this episode of Resiliency Radio with Dr. Jill, Dr. Jill Carnahan welcomes pediatric integrative medicine expert Dr. Somer DelSignore to explore why childhood immune health may have profound implications for lifelong health and disease risk. As chronic illness, immune dysfunction, behavioral challenges, and neurodevelopmental conditions become increasingly complex in children, Dr. DelSignore explains why symptoms shouldn't always be viewed in isolation. Instead, she investigates the interconnected roles of inflammation, infections, gut health, environmental toxins, nutrition, genetics, and immune regulation. Together, they explore her R.E.S.E.T. Protocol, the potential biomedical drivers behind conditions such as ADHD and PANS/PANDAS, the importance of investigating mold and vector-borne infections, and practical ways parents can help build greater immune resilience in their children.

In this episode of Beyond the Torch, Leslie Nease and guest-co-host, Courtney Yates, chat with Billy Garcia from Survivor: Cook Islands to revisit his memorable season, including the infamous "we love you, I love you" moment with Candice. Billy shares never-before-seen behind-the-scenes stories — from being accidentally set on fire during a challenge and dealing with a painful recovery, to clashing with tribemate JP, forming a secret alliance with Candice before the game even began, and navigating a controversial strategy where his tribe intentionally threw a challenge. He reflects candidly on being gaslit during the game (a concept he didn't have a name for at the time), how his approach to Survivor would differ if he played today, and his enduring friendships within the Survivor community. The episode opens with a fan-submitted question about which Survivor vote each guest would change, sparking a lively discussion about Parvati, Sandra, and Richard Hatch's legacies in the game.Special thanks to our sponsor Big O Brand Skin care.

One Big Idea 6 - Driving Purpose-Driven Growth: From Identity Alignment and Cellular Health to Executive ResiliencyIn this episode of One Big Idea, host Josh Elledge connects with Carol Pyke, Dr. Paul Barattiero, Emily Lyman, Stewart Heath, Tanny Diep, and Rachel Apfel Glass to break down the operational strategies required to build enduring brands, optimize human performance, and scale multi-faceted enterprises. Carol Pyke, Keynote Speaker & Workshop Facilitator at Words That Deliver, opens the episode by detailing why executive self-identity serves as an irreplaceable differentiator in an AI-driven economy. Dr. Paul Barattiero, CEO and Founder of LumaNova, then explores the physiological impact of molecular hydrogen on cellular energy and executive performance. Next, Branch & Bramble Founder & CEO Emily Lyman breaks down how direct-to-consumer brands can operationalize empathy to boost customer lifetime value. Stewart Heath, Chief Executive Officer of Harvard Grace Corporation, details the mechanics of syndications and tax-advantaged passive real estate investing. Sway Brows Academy & Studio Founder Tanny Diep introduces the prototyping mindset to help creators convert early action into viable business models. Finally, Gloss Lab and OFICINALE Founder Rachel Apfel Glass closes the episode by sharing the strategic advantages, emotional composure, and risk management strategies of second-time founders.Discovering Your True Identity to Become a Better Leader with Carol PykeIn an era where artificial intelligence can quickly replicate strategic frameworks, generate marketing copy, and automate routine workflows, many corporate leaders struggle to articulate their true value proposition. Personal brand strategist Carol Pyke explains that her "one big idea" addresses this exact challenge: core identity is the ultimate, non-replicable foundation of executive leadership. Drawing from her personal experience of overcoming retrograde amnesia following a stroke, Carol illustrates how professionals frequently mistake temporary external roles, job titles, and career achievements for their actual self-worth. Utilizing her "Mrs. Potato Head" analogy—where the underlying potato represents the unchangeable core and external accessories represent transient professional titles—she challenges leaders to discover who they are before deciding what to execute.To build an unshakeable executive presence that eliminates imposter syndrome, leaders must actively separate their internal identity from external metrics. Carol outlines actionable exercises, such as auditing LinkedIn profiles to remove job-title labels and reframing challenging events by separating raw facts from emotional reactions. By shifting away from short-term public validation and committing to deep self-reflection, executives can lead with absolute authenticity. In a volatile business landscape, establishing a clear, grounded identity enables leaders to make confident, value-aligned decisions that build long-term organizational trust.The Natural Antioxidant Your Body Needs for Energy and Immunity with LumaNova's Dr. Paul BarattieroSustained executive performance, mental clarity, and operational endurance depend heavily on underlying cellular health, yet chronic stress and poor lifestyle habits constantly degrade performance. Dr. Paul Barattiero explains that his "one big idea" centers on the therapeutic role of molecular hydrogen in combating systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. While a healthy colon naturally produces hydrogen gas through anaerobic bacterial activity, over 90% of individuals suffer from gut disruption caused by stress, processed diets, and antibiotics. This breakdown diminishes natural hydrogen production, leading to cellular fatigue, brain fog, and weakened immune function.To counteract these physical bottlenecks, Dr. Paul outlines how restoring molecular hydrogen levels can significantly improve cellular energy production and gut microbiome health. Infusing water with molecular hydrogen and a negative electrical potential mimics a healthy gut ecosystem, providing a selective antioxidant that neutralizes harmful free radicals without disrupting beneficial metabolic processes. For busy founders and high-performing executives, incorporating daily hydrogen therapy helps lower recovery times, sharpen cognitive focus, and protect long-term physical vitality.Building Stronger Direct-to-Consumer Brands Through Empathy and AI with Branch & Bramble's Emily LymanAs automated generative tools flood consumer inboxes and social feeds with generic marketing messages, direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands face a severe crisis of consumer indifference. Marketing strategist Emily Lyman highlights that her "one big idea" redefines empathy: it is not a soft interpersonal skill, but a measurable, business-critical growth strategy. Because human purchasing decisions are driven primarily by emotional connection rather than feature lists, brands that rely solely on automated, spec-heavy copy fail to build lasting customer relationships. By leveraging AI strictly for data research—mining customer reviews, support tickets, and social sentiment for underlying emotional patterns—marketers can uncover what truly resonates with their audience.To operationalize empathy across multi-channel campaigns, brands must establish structured frameworks to research, score, and scale emotional resonance. Emily emphasizes that while AI can efficiently surface data trends, human strategists must interpret those findings to craft authentic, value-driven brand narratives. Reframing product messaging around customer values—such as positioning safety features around protecting family experiences rather than listing technical specifications—dramatically improves conversion rates and long-term retention. Treating empathy as a core marketing discipline enables DTC companies to cut through digital noise and build enduring brand equity.Everything You Need to Know About Syndications and Passive Investing with Harvard Grace Capital's Stewart HeathMany high-earning professionals remain trapped on the corporate treadmill because their financial growth depends entirely on active, earned income that carries heavy tax burdens. Real estate executive Stewart Heath shares his core thesis: passive real estate syndications provide a reliable, tax-advantaged path to replacing working income and building generational wealth. Commercial real estate offers built-in inflation protection, tangible asset backing, and equity multiplication through conservative leverage. Furthermore, pass-through tax benefits like accelerated depreciation allow investors to offset passive distributions, shielding their cash flow from heavy taxation.Achieving true financial independence through passive real estate requires a disciplined approach to sponsor selection and deal structuring. Stewart advises investors to thoroughly vet real estate sponsors by analyzing their historical track records, operational transparency, risk-management protocols, and alignment of interest through preferred return structures. Investors can also utilize self-directed IRAs or 401(k)s to deploy tax-deferred capital into commercial syndications across multiple property types. By focusing on steady cash-flowing assets and reinvesting refinancing proceeds, passive investors can systematically construct a resilient portfolio that delivers predictable, long-term returns.Turning Early Practice into Real Business Opportunities with Sway Brows Academy & Studio's Tanny DiepA common trap for aspiring entrepreneurs and creative professionals is falling into "analysis paralysis"—spending months over-preparing, conducting endless market research, and perfecting products behind closed doors before ever testing them with real customers. Beauty industry educator and business coach Tanny Diep introduces her "one big idea": actionable business clarity does not exist until you launch and test in the real world. Relying on theory or simulated practice creates a false sense of security, whereas immediate real-world deployment provides the critical feedback needed to refine an offering.To convert concepts into viable business opportunities, founders must adopt a lean, prototyping mindset. Tanny encourages entrepreneurs to simplify their initial offerings down to a minimum viable product (MVP), launch quickly to a target audience, and gather direct market feedback. Overcoming perfectionism requires making an offering exist first before attempting to make it perfect. By pairing immediate execution with fast, iterative refinement, business owners build operational resilience, cultivate genuine client confidence, and establish a distinct competitive edge.The Entrepreneurial Comeback That Proves Patience Pays Off with Rachel GlassLaunching a second or serial venture is a fundamentally different experience than building a first company, primarily due to the emotional composure and perspective gained from past setbacks. Serial entrepreneur Rachel Apfel Glass shares her insights as a second-time founder, presenting her "one big idea": sustainable entrepreneurial growth relies on emotional resilience and protective detachment. While first-time founders often view every vendor mistake or operational hiccup as an existential crisis, experienced founders learn to manage emotional swings, anticipate normal operational friction, and approach problems with a calm, solution-oriented mindset.Navigating second-time entrepreneurship successfully requires transforming hard-won lessons into systematic operational playbooks. Rachel highlights how managing founder anxiety involves normalizing daily business challenges and leaning heavily on an established...

In this episode of *Pediatric Perspectives*, I was joined by Kari Bundy, a health freedom advocate whose son Mason died three days after his four-month vaccines, and by Polly Tommey, who turned the interview around to ask me about pertussis, the DTaP/Tdap vaccine, and SIDS. Kari's story is a hard one, but it's the kind of story parents deserve to hear before they're standing in an exam room being told their baby needs a shot right now.

Anxiety, immune health, and nutrition are often treated separately, but what if they're all connected? In this episode, Amber Warren, PA-C is joined by Tessa Hart, PA-C, a physician assistant specializing in pediatric functional medicine, to break down how anxiety, immune resilience, and nutrition show up together in kids and what parents can actually do about it. Tessa explains how to tell the difference between normal back-to-school nerves and true anxiety, walking through the physical symptoms, avoidance behaviors, and duration that signal something more than developmentally normal stress. She shares practical, non-supplement tools like unstructured play, square breathing, and her "brave ladder" approach to gradual exposure, along with her top three supplement picks, magnesium L-threonate, L-theanine, and cod liver oil, and why the timing and form of each one matters. The conversation also moves into cold and flu season, where Tessa breaks down the immune-boosting and sick kits used at Functional Medicine of Idaho, including vitamin D3/K, zinc, and liposomal vitamin C, and explains clear guidelines for when a sick child should stay home versus go to school. Amber and Tessa also discuss the importance of protein and clean, whole-food nutrition for growing kids and teen athletes, and why paying attention to each child's individual food sensitivities can uncover the root cause of symptoms that seem unrelated to diet. Whether you're navigating a newly anxious child, prepping for cold and flu season, or just want a clearer, more natural framework for raising healthy kids, this episode offers practical insight from a provider seeing these issues every day. In this episode, you'll learn: Why back-to-school nerves and true anxiety are not the same thing, and how to tell them apart Non-supplement tools like square breathing, unstructured play, and gradual exposure for anxious kids Why magnesium L-threonate, L-theanine, and cod liver oil are top picks for childhood anxiety and mood How to build an immune-boosting and sick kit with vitamin D3/K, zinc, and liposomal vitamin C Why low zinc after illness can change a child's sense of taste Clear guidelines for when to send a sick child to school versus keep them home Why protein matters for teens and student athletes, and simple ways to add it to their diet How individual food sensitivities can drive symptoms seen at well-child and acute visits Why an organic, whole-food, non-GMO diet is the foundation Tessa recommends for every family Stay tuned for more conversations on functional medicine, pediatric health, immune support, nutrition, and raising healthy kids from the inside out!

HEALTH NEWS   Purslane Extract Tied to Improved Mood and Reduced Liver Stiffness in Trials, Researchers Say Natural Compound in Broccoli Could Help Treat a Rare, Incurable Neurological Disease Intermittent fasting reveals gut-brain pathway that may reduce chronic pain Microalga extract shows promise for fatigue through mitochondrial function Vitamin D Supplementation Tied to Slower Biological Aging, Studies Find         Purslane Extract Tied to Improved Mood and Reduced Liver Stiffness in Trials, Researchers Say Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (Iran), August 21 2026 (Natural News)     Purslane, a weed commonly found in garden beds and sidewalk cracks, has been linked in two clinical trials to improved mood and reduced liver stiffness. Purslane is an herbaceous succulent valued in many cultures for its vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.   A trial published in the journal Health Science Reports enrolled adults with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Participants received either purslane extract or a placebo in addition to regular care. The report said those who received purslane showed reductions in stress and low mood compared with the placebo group, and researchers said the results warrant further investigation. In 2024, the same research team published a trial of patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease received 700 milligrams of purslane extract daily for eight weeks. According to the study, liver stiffness decreased significantly compared with placebo, and the hepatorenal ultrasound index, a direct measure of fat buildup in the liver, also improved.   Natural Compound in Broccoli Could Help Treat a Rare, Incurable Neurological Disease Swinburne University of Technology (Australia), August 21, 2026 (SciTech Daily)   A naturally occurring compound in broccoli is being investigated as a possible treatment for Friedreich ataxia, a rare nervous system disease. Research from Swinburne suggests the compound can act on biological processes involved in the condition. Friedreich ataxia develops as neurons in the brain and spinal cord deteriorate, progressively affecting movement, speech, and survival. The research found that sulforaphane, a natural compound present in broccoli, can raise levels of frataxin, the protein that is deficient in people with Friedreich ataxia. It also helped protect vulnerable nerve cells from damage. Sulforaphane has also been found to affect several disease-related processes, including cellular stress and inflammation.   Intermittent fasting reveals gut-brain pathway that may reduce chronic pain Zhengzhou University & First Affiliated Hospital (China) August 24 2026 (Medical Xpress) Chronic pain, pain that persists or returns for more than three months, can affect people's emotional well-being and is often accompanied by difficulty concentrating or remembering things.  Researchers at Zhengzhou University and its First Affiliated Hospital conducted a study investigating the effects of intermittent fasting on chronic pain in mice. Their findings, published in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, suggest that fasting for set hours can alter gut bacteria and influence the connection between the digestive tract and the brain, which may in turn reduce pain sensitivity and improve mental function. The researchers observed that mice with chronic pain who followed the intermittent fasting regimen appeared to exhibit reduced sensitivity to normally harmless touch and heat. In addition, fasting appeared to improve their performance on simple tasks and reduce anxiety-like behaviors. Collected data suggested that fasting had strengthened the mice's intestinal barrier, reduced neuroinflammation and altered the composition of their gut microbiota. A species of gut bacteria that appeared to consistently increase with intermittent fasting was Alistipes finegoldii. This study suggests that intermittent fasting can change the composition of the gut microbiota, particularly in mouse models of chronic pain. Interestingly, the team also found that supplementing mice with Alistipes finegoldii, the bacterial species that increased with fasting, reproduced the pain-relieving effects and cognitive improvements observed in fasting mice.   Microalga extract shows promise for fatigue through mitochondrial function Jeonbuk National University & Yuhan Care Co (South Korea), August 11 2026 (Nutrition) Algae have long been used for nutritional and health-promoting purposes in several cultures. Haematococcus pluvialis, a fresh water green algae widely recognized as containing high levels of astaxanthin, has attracted growing interest as a functional bioresource with potential to improve physical performance and alleviate fatigue; however, its underlying mechanisms remain unclear.  This study aimed to evaluate the anti-fatigue effects of H. pluvialis extract (YHC-T-2414) and its underlying mechanisms. Its antioxidant effect was assessed by measuring reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation.  Mice were administered YHC-T-2414 for 3 weeks and subjected to an exhaustive swimming test. Subsequently, fatigue-related biochemical parameters, including lactate, LDH, creatine, malondialdehyde (MDA), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured in serum and muscle tissues. YHC-T-2414 attenuated H2O2-induced reductions in cell viability, and reduced LDH and CK activities and ROS generation in H2O2-treated C2C12 myoblasts.  Furthermore, it significantly increased swimming time in the forced swimming mouse model while reducing lactate, LDH, CK, MDA, TNF-α, and IL-6.   Vitamin D Supplementation Tied to Slower Biological Aging, Studies Find Yale University, August 23 2026 (Natural News)     Recent analyses of clinical trial data have linked daily vitamin D3 supplementation to slower biological aging, according to researchers.   A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that 2,000 international units (IU) of vitamin D3 daily significantly reduced telomere shortening over four years among participants.   Researchers followed 1,036 adults with vitamin D deficiency in the Berlin Aging Study II and GendAge study for an average of 7.4 years. According to the report, participants who began taking vitamin D supplements after the initial assessment had lower epigenetic age acceleration at follow-up than deficient participants who did not supplement. The difference was about 2.6 years on one epigenetic clock and 1.3 years on another.   The report also stated that participants whose deficiency was successfully treated had epigenetic aging measures that were not significantly different from those of vitamin D-sufficient participants. These findings suggest that correcting a vitamin D deficiency may move some markers of biological aging in a more favorable direction.

Gauranga Das, a monk and spiritual teacher, delivers a grounding yet urgent message: we are all swimming upstream against the relentless current of Kali Yuga, where identity, climate, and society are rapidly deteriorating. He diagnoses our core pain—we anchor ourselves in eight shifting identities (body, partner, children, house, vehicles, wealth, social acceptance, and power) but forget our ninth, unchanging identity as the eternal soul (atma). Using the vivid metaphor of a car (material life) versus a GPS (spiritual direction), he warns that society obsesses over a smooth ride while ignoring the ultimate destination. He explains that sanskar—the daily choices we make—are critical, as the prominent thought at death determines the soul's next journey. Even Arjuna's flawless skills failed him; what truly matters is recognizing our swarupa (constitutional nature) beyond our swabhava and swadharma. To navigate this chaos, he prescribes prayer as "immunity against change" and warns against fueling mental inflammation by checking social media first thing in the morning. Despite Kali Yuga's worsening trajectory, he offers practical hope through the Govardhan Eco-Village, which integrates spirituality, sustainability (UNSDGs), and social impact as a blueprint for intentional communities.Gauranga Das urges us to stop obsessing over the car's interior and start trusting the GPS. When have you felt the seismic shift of a lost promotion, a broken relationship, or a career misaligned with your nature—and what would shift if, instead of running from that identity crisis, you used it to reconnect with your soul and surrender your morning, and your life, to a higher purpose?___

A family in Colorado is facing $300,000 in medical debt, more than two years after a K-9 officer living next door climbed the fence and attacked a two-year-old girl and her father. Recently, the K-9 handler was found 'not guilty' in the incident because he has immunity as a member of law enforcement doing his official duties -- in this case, he was cleaning the K-9 officer's cage. In this edition of "Ask the Attorney," Holly consults KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas on this immunity claim and why the family is having such a hard time finding a lawyer to take their case.

"We did the other one." Five words Keffe D Davis offered voluntarily to an LAPD detective who was investigating a completely different murder. Daryn Dupree was working the Biggie Smalls homicide case when Davis told him that remark. Dupree testified on Day 3 of the murder trial that "the only other one was Tupac." Nobody asked Davis about Tupac. He brought it up himself.Before Dupree took the stand, the jury heard from Wade Lee, a former FBI agent who investigated Davis for drug trafficking in the late 1990s. Lee conducted a proffer interview with Davis in 1998, just two years after Tupac Shakur was shot and killed on the Las Vegas Strip. Davis was identified as a person of interest in the murder.The prosecution clarified a critical distinction on Day 3: Davis's proffer carried no immunity. Nothing he said in that room with federal agents was legally protected.Lee testified there was no proof Davis ordered a hit and that the FBI never independently verified Davis was in Las Vegas the night Tupac was shot. The jury submitted questions about what the FBI did with Davis's statements and why the case took twenty-seven years to reach a courtroom.Davis had served prison time on drug charges. Two law enforcement officers, from two separate agencies, heard Davis discuss Tupac's murder across different decades.Cross-examination of Dupree began at 3:43 p.m. and will continue when court resumes.END LINKSListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What can you do every day to support your health after a prostate cancer diagnosis without allowing cancer to take over your life?This week on Intellectual Medicine, Dr. Stephen Petteruti outlines five lifestyle areas he believes deserve attention when thinking about prostate health, immune function, and long-term vitality. He begins with nutrition and protein intake, including his approach to complete proteins and intermittent fasting, before turning to sleep and why he believes obsessing over eight hours or relying too heavily on sleep trackers can become counterproductive.Dr. Petteruti also discusses walking and exercise intensity, supplements including vitamin D, zinc, vitamin C, and copper, and why more antioxidants are not necessarily better. He finishes with perhaps the most unexpected strategy: making room for pleasure and enjoyment.Rather than constantly worrying about cancer or chasing every new intervention, Dr. Petteruti encourages building sustainable habits, focusing on vitality, and continuing to live fully.Timestamps:(00:00) Five ways to make your body less friendly to prostate cancer(00:34) Why your health strategy needs to stay simple(01:28) Aging, immune function and cancer risk(03:19) Protein, nutrition and supporting immune function(04:59) Does intermittent fasting matter for cancer?(06:38) Sleep: why eight hours isn't a magic number(07:47) Walking, exercise and prostate health(09:27) Why supplements come after the basics(10:03) The antioxidant paradox: can you have too much?(12:16) Vitamin D, zinc, vitamin C and copper(14:10) The unexpected fifth strategy: fun and pleasure(15:59) Living fully without being controlled by fearReferences:Anti-inflammatory Therapy with Canakinumab for Atherosclerotic Disease- https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1707914?referer=https://www.google.com/&Chapter 15 - Exercise, Immunity, and Illness-https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/chapter/edited-volume/pii/B9780128145937000153The immune hunger games: the effects of fasting on monocytes-https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10541887/Enjoy the podcast?

Welcome to the latest summer version of the Midlife Minute.  In this episode, we're focusing on the gut. Even though I've written a book about the gut microbiome changes that occur in perimenopause and menopause, I'm often asked whether the gut is truly central to midlife. So today, I provide direct answers to the many questions I received on this topic.   IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How the gut microbiome and estrogen work together, and the importance of supporting both  How the estrobolome helps recycle estrogen, and why its function could decline during menopause How poor sleep, blood sugar instability, histamine issues, and dysbiosis tend to be interconnected The value of practitioner-guided microbiome testing when investigating histamine intolerance, dysbiosis, and weight loss resistance Various factors that could contribute to weight loss resistance How my approach to stool testing has evolved as newer microbiome testing technology has become available Essential lifestyle habits for supporting gut health Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website.

Send us Fan MailDr. Jocelyn Foran is a Canadian medical doctor and Staff Anesthesiologist at Nova Scotia Health Authority, holding a Fellowship from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (FRCPC) and a Diplomat of the American Board of Obesity Medicine.Through her private practice, Upstream Metabolic Medical, she promotes ketogenic and carnivore diets as treatments for chronic disease and metabolic conditions — dietary approaches that remain contested within mainstream nutrition science and are not endorsed by major public health bodies.While her clinical background is in anesthesiology rather than nutrition or dietetics, she has pursued additional training as a Metabolic Health Practitioner through the Nutrition Network, an organization that advocates low-carbohydrate diets.Metabolism is the process of turning food into form and function- yes, we ARE what we eat. Our metabolism is the core to our health, balancing everyday building (anabolism) with the breakdown of cells (catabolism). In our 21st-century toxic food environment, many of us are now living with metabolic dysfunction and chronic diseases that result: high blood pressure, obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, infertility, autoimmune illnesses, mental illnesses and cancer. These chronic diseases are not cured, but rather “managed” with medications, often for the rest of our lives.Metabolic coaching focuses on root cause healing to address and reverse chronic illnesses, empowering patients to improve their health by addressing lifestyle issues.Find Dr. Jocelyn Foran at-https://www.metabolicmedical.ca/aboutIG- @MetabolicMedicalFB- @Metabolic MedicalFind Boundless Body at-myboundlessbody.comBook a session with us here! 

The timing is the story. Legal historian Holly Brewer's read is that the document was written while Blanche was still acting AG and kept from the senators voting on him, Republicans included. Amanda Carpenter put it simply: a new Attorney General and a new immunity. Chuck Todd's point is that the memo's existence is an admission the White House expects subpoenas aimed at the private parties who did business with Trump and his family. Josh Gerstein noted it landed while courts are already fighting over testimony from outside advisers, Boris Epshteyn in particular. Marcy Wheeler added the background there. This is aimed squarely at congressional oversight, and it works alongside a White House that has no intention of complying with subpoenas anyway. Former federal prosecutor Paul Butler discussed the memo's reach with Peter Alexander.

Most productivity advice operates in one of two categories: you're missing a skill or system, or you have a mindset problem. Cat Mulvihill thinks both camps are right — and both are incomplete. There's a third category that almost nobody is talking about, and she argues it's the one most likely to be the actual culprit when you're stuck. My guest this week is Cat Mulvihill, a speaker, trainer, accountability coach, and licensed Immunity to Change facilitator who has been leading workshops for more than 20 years. After being formally diagnosed with ADHD in 2024, she developed the Momentum Formula — a framework separating the reasons we fail to follow through into three distinct categories: logical, biological, and psychological. Cat is a longtime Lab member and led the second-highest-rated session at this year's Lab Offline event in Boise. In this episode, we talk about: The three roadblocks to follow-through — and why the biological one is the category almost everyone overlooks How to diagnose which roadblock is actually keeping you stuck, and why the order you check them matters The “dreaded identity” — the hidden, subconscious version of yourself you're afraid of becoming — and how it quietly kills follow-through Why knowing your tendency from Gretchen Rubin's Four Tendencies framework changes which accountability strategies actually work for you By the end of this episode, you will have a concrete diagnostic framework for understanding why you're not doing the things you know you should be doing — and what to try first.
