In recent years “Zone 2 training” has gained immense popularity in fitness and health circles, often being proclaimed the “best” cardiovascular training for metabolic health. Zone 2 training is sustained, low-intensity exercise below the lactate threshold that is commonly employed by many elite level endurance athletes, with a variety of proposed performance benefits. This led to interest from health-conscious folks about its ability to improve markers like VO2 max and mitochondrial function, which are associated with better health outcomes and longevity. Prof. Brendon Gurd, an exercise physiologist at Queen's University, is the co-author of a recent review published in Sports Medicine that examined some of the claims made around zone 2 training and health in the general population. This episode looks at whether the evidence truly supports Zone 2 as a uniquely effective training zone or if this hype has outpaced the research. These insights help professionals and individuals make evidence-based recommendations and avoid unintended negative consequences of following certain ideas. About The Guest Dr. Brendon Gurd is a Professor in the School of Kinesiology and Health Studies at Queen's University, where his research focuses on exercise physiology and skeletal muscle adaptation. His work explores how different intensities and types of exercise influence mitochondrial content and function in muscle tissue, with the goal of understanding how to optimize health and performance through training.

In this episode, Dr. Jill is joined by Dr. Chris D'Adamo, a leading researcher in integrative health and nutritional immunology, to discuss the critical role of beta glucans in supporting and modulating the immune system.
Vitamin A is often one of the less-discussed micronutrients in relation to bone health, taking a back seat to nutrients like calcium and vitamin D. Yet this fat-soluble vitamin plays a fundamental role in skeletal development, remodeling, and mineral homeostasis. It influences gene expression in both osteoblasts and osteoclasts, and contributes to the regulation of bone turnover throughout the lifespan. But what makes vitamin A particularly interesting, and controversial, is that its effects on bone appear to follow a double-edged pattern. While it's essential for bone formation, several large epidemiological studies have suggested that chronically high intakes of preformed vitamin A may actually increase the risk of osteoporosis and fracture, especially when consumed as retinol from supplements or high-liver diets. And yet, the picture is not so clear-cut. This raises compelling questions: Is the concern over vitamin A and bone health justified, or is it a case of context-dependent risk? Can vitamin A, when combined with adequate levels of D and K, actually support bone strength? And are there thresholds above or below which risk increases? In this episode, we explore the human evidence on vitamin A and skeletal health, looking not only at fracture outcomes and bone mineral density data, but also at nutrient interactions, mechanistic plausibility, and the implications for supplement use in well-nourished populations.

[This is one of the finalists in the 2025 review contest, written by an ACX reader who will remain anonymous until after voting is done. I'll be posting about one of these a week for several months. When you've read them all, I'll ask you to vote for a favorite, so remember which ones you liked] “The scientific paper is a ‘fraud' that creates “a totally misleading narrative of the processes of thought that go into the making of scientific discoveries.” This critique comes not from a conspiracist on the margins of science, but from Nobel laureate Sir Peter Medawar. A brilliant experimentalist whose work on immune tolerance laid the foundation for modern organ transplantation, Sir Peter understood both the power and the limitations of scientific communication. Consider the familiar structure of a scientific paper: Introduction (background and hypothesis), Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion. This format implies that the work followed a clean, sequential progression: scientists identified a gap in knowledge, formulated a causal explanation, designed definitive experiments to fill the gap, evaluated compelling results, and most of the time, confirmed their hypothesis. Real lab work rarely follows such a clear path. Biological research is filled with what Medawar describes lovingly as “messing about”: false starts, starting in the middle, unexpected results, reformulated hypotheses, and intriguing accidental findings. The published paper ignores the mess in favour of the illusion of structure and discipline. It offers an ideal version of what might have happened rather than a confession of what did. The polish serves a purpose. It makes complex work accessible (at least if you work in the same or a similar field!). It allows researchers to build upon new findings. But the contrived omissions can also play upon even the most well-regarded scientist's susceptibility to the seduction of story. As Christophe Bernard, Director of Research at the Institute of Systems Neuroscience (Marseilles, Fr.) recently explained, “when we are reading a paper, we tend to follow the reasoning and logic of the authors, and if the argumentation is nicely laid out, it is difficult to pause, take a step back, and try to get an overall picture.” Our minds travel the narrative path laid out for us, making it harder to spot potential flaws in logic or alternative interpretations of the data, and making conclusions feel far more definitive than they often are. Medawar's framing is my compass when I do deep dives into major discoveries in translational neuroscience. I approach papers with a dual vision. First, what is actually presented? But second, and often more importantly, what is not shown? How was the work likely done in reality? What alternatives were tried but not reported? What assumptions guided the experimental design? What other interpretations might fit the data if the results are not as convincing or cohesive as argued? And what are the consequences for scientific progress? In the case of Alzheimer's research, they appear to be stark: thirty years of prioritizing an incomplete model of the disease's causes; billions of corporate, government, and foundation dollars spent pursuing a narrow path to drug development; the relative exclusion of alternative hypotheses from funding opportunities and attention; and little progress toward disease-modifying treatments or a cure. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/your-review-of-mice-mechanisms-and

Story at-a-glance For a century, ultraviolet blood irradiation (UVBI) has demonstrated incredible efficacy across a wide range of conditions in hundreds of studies Conditions UVBI is proven to treat include life-threatening infections, cardiovascular disorders, autoimmune conditions, and neurological issues Because of this, private doctors frequently find great success using UVBI for chronic infections (e.g., Lyme disease, shingles, or Epstein-Barr), a wide range of autoimmune diseases, and in preventing chemotherapy toxicity These results suggest UVBI can address the root cause of illness and that sunlight is an essential nutrient for the body Mechanisms identified for UVBI include it modulating the immune system, improving circulation, reactivating dormant cells, and neutralizing toxins
In a recent BlackRock survey of registered voters, more than 75% of retirees said they wished they had saved more money for retirement. And with the recent passage of the SECURE 2.0 Act now in effect, opening up new opportunities for savers, investors are considering how to save and build wealth for the future. Shoring up emergency savings is protective of retirement savings, according to research by The BlackRock Foundation. So how can investors ensure they're pulling all the levers at their disposal to retire on their own terms?Rob Crothers, Head of U.S. Retirement for BlackRock, will discuss the current state of the retirement landscape and help us unpack a toolkit for retirement savers that's been proposed by the Bipartisan Policy Center and how investors and employers can plan for the future.Key moments in this episode:00:00 Introduction: The Importance of Saving for Retirement00:17 Exploring the SECURE 2.0 Act and Retirement Universals02:01 Current Retirement Landscape and Policy Changes04:06 BlackRock's D.C.

In this episode of Daily Value, we look at the neurometabolic potential of methylene blue, a synthetic dye first synthesized in the 19th century, for supporting brain energy metabolism during aging. Originally developed for textile use, methylene blue has since demonstrated potential use as a redox-active agent in neuroprotection and memory enhancement (and how exactly it performs these actions).We look at it's unique biochemical mechanism as an alternative electron carrier within the mitochondrial electron transport chain, showing how it may bypass dysfunctional complexes to enhance ATP production and reduce oxidative stress.The episode also discusses findings from animal models and human trials, including the challenges and inconsistencies observed in clinical studies - along with potential risks, contraindications, and the implications for aging-related cognitive decline. 00:00 Introduction to Methylene Blue00:57 Historical Background and Early Uses02:31 Methylene Blue in Modern Medicine04:03 Mechanisms of Action in the Brain05:59 Dosage and Effects12:23 Human Studies and Clinical Trials15:35 Safety Concerns and Contraindications18:16 Conclusion and Future DirectionsPMID: 22067440PMID: 34943887PMID: 38022191PMID: 36803299Support the show

The age old nature vs. nurture question is complicated, especially when genetics are involved. On this episode, we dive into the concept of “epigenetics,” which translates to “above the genome.” Joe, Sam and Natalie cover how your environment can play a role in how your genes are expressed, how you can have different kinds of cells from the same DNA, and … jello? You'll walk away with an understanding of why your DNA is a lot more like a cook book than you think.

Featuring:DR. SHERRY TENPENNY https://drtenpenny.com/In this explosive episode of Steel News, we sit down with Dr. Sherri Tenpenny—author, emergency physician, and one of the most fearless truth-tellers in the medical freedom movement. With over 50,000 hours of documented research, Dr. Tenpenny was among the first to sound the alarm on vaccine injury and systemic corruption inside the public health establishment. From her groundbreaking exposés on the COVID-19 jab's “20 Mechanisms of Injury” to her bold stance against the CDC, FDA, and Big Pharma's legal immunity, Dr. Tenpenny has risked everything to shine a light on the machinery of medical coercion.Her new book, Zero Accountability in a Failed System, is a comprehensive indictment of vaccine policy, public health propaganda, and government betrayal. It uncovers the VAERS-CICP bait-and-switch, exposes fetal tissue and tumor cell lines used in manufacturing, and tracks the disturbing roadmap toward biometric surveillance and digital ID control under the guise of "health." This is more than a health crisis—it's a battle for truth, justice, and bodily sovereignty. Don't miss this conversation that blows the hinges off the doors of institutional deception.few key takeaways she covers in the book:· How the PREP Act gave total legal immunity to pharma, and how CICP quietly blocked compensation for millions of vaccine-injured individuals.· The CDC's media strategy—over 4,000 fear-based messages per flu season—used to engineer compliance.· The shift from public health to full-scale surveillance infrastructure (digital IDs, biometric tracking, and the 2030 agenda).“This isn't about immunity—it's about indoctrination. And the children are the collateral damage.”— Dr. TenpennyWhy it's urgent right now:· Trump's Surgeon General pick, Casey Means, is setting off headlines. No license, no government experience—and deep Big Tech ties. Sherri has strong insight on what this signals.· The renewed measles panic campaign is rolling out hard—echoing 2004's bird flu messaging and COVID-style propaganda. Dr. T explains why that's dangerous.· Mainstream attention on the PREP Act and CICP is finally catching up—the perfect time to get this conversation on the record.Make sure you follow Maverick Broadcasting Network on the following platforms:Pickax: https://pickax.com/maverickbroadcastingRumble: https://rumble.com/c/maverickbroadcasting Substack: https://maverickbroadcasting.substack.comX: https://x.com/mavbroadcastnet Maverick Broadcasting Network benefits when you shop with the following companies:MY GOLD GUY - https://mygoldguy.com/mbnAs inflation surges and global elites toy with our financial future, My Gold Guy empowers you to safeguard your wealth with physical gold and silver – a real asset for real Americans.

We're following up on our recent episode on Google's AI Co-Scientist with a special crossover episode from the Podovirus podcast. Hosts Dr Jessica Sacher and Dr Joe Campbell speak with José Penadés and Tiago Costa, scientists at Imperial College London who made a surprising discovery that Google's AI Co-Scientist later put forward as a hypothesis entirely on its own. The episode explores the fascinating world of bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) and phage-inducible chromosomal islands (PICIs) - DNA sequences that hijack virus reproduction to spread themselves as a bacterial defense mechanism. The key mystery was how capsid-forming PICIs, which only encode virus heads without tails, managed to spread across different bacteria. The surprising answer, which eluded human scientists for years but which Google's AI Co-Scientist discovered through literature analysis, is that these capsids evolved to connect with various virus tails in the environment. This episode demonstrates how AI can now contribute to frontier scientific research beyond just grunt work - providing unbiased perspectives and key insights that accelerate discovery. It's a vivid example of science fiction becoming reality in our lifetimes.
