In this episode of Longevity by Design, host Dr. Gil Blander sits down with Dr. Louise Hecker, Associate Professor of Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine. Together, they dive into Louise's recent research exploring how psilocybin, the active compound in psychedelic mushrooms, may influence aging biology at the cellular and organismal level.Louise shares the story behind her curiosity about psilocybin, sparked by conversations with a friend and fueled by a lack of scientific answers. She explains how her team overcame regulatory hurdles to study the effects of psilocybin on human cells and aging mice. Their findings showed that psilocybin extended cellular lifespan and reduced hallmarks of aging, such as oxidative stress and DNA damage. In mice, regular dosing improved survival, reversed visible signs of aging, and affected organs beyond the brain.The conversation also covers the challenges of translating these findings into humans, the need for more research on dosing and safety, and the importance of funding in moving this field forward. Louise encourages listeners to stay curious, think beyond established paths, and keep an open mind as new questions and discoveries emerge in the science of aging.Guest-at-a-Glance

HEALTH NEWS   Wild Blueberries May Benefit the Heart, Metabolism, and Microbiome Nitrate in drinking water linked to increased dementia risk while nitrate from vegetables is linked to a lower risk, researchers find   Afternoon naps clear up the brain and improve learning ability Screen time may increase body fat in children Simple dietary change may slow liver cancer in at-risk patients Wild Blueberries May Benefit the Heart, Metabolism, and Microbiome University of Maine & Florida State University, January 28, 2026 (SciTech Daily) A newly published scientific review brings together a growing body of research on how wild blueberries may influence cardiometabolic health. This area of health includes measures such as blood vessel function, blood pressure, blood lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides), and blood sugar (glucose). The review was developed following an expert symposium. Twelve specialists took part, representing fields that included nutrition, food science, dietetics, nutrition metabolism and physiology, cardiovascular and cognitive health, gut health and microbiology, and preclinical and clinical research models.  The paper evaluates findings from 12 human clinical trials conducted over 24 years across four countries that examined the cardiometabolic effects of wild blueberries. Across the clinical research examined, improvements in blood vessel function stand out as one of the most reliable findings. Studies included in the review suggest that wild blueberries may support endothelial function (or how well blood vessels relax and respond to stimuli). Some trials reported effects within hours of a single serving, while others observed benefits after consistent intake over weeks or months. In one six-week clinical study highlighted in the review, adults who consumed 25 grams of freeze-dried wild blueberry powder each day showed increases in beneficial Bifidobacterium species. The authors identify the gut microbiome as a likely contributor to the cardiometabolic effects linked to wild blueberries. The review also suggests wild blueberry intake may support certain aspects of cognitive performance. Improvements were observed in measures such as thinking speed and memory. Several of the reviewed studies reported clinically meaningful improvements in blood pressure, blood sugar regulation, and lipid markers, including total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, after weeks of wild blueberry consumption.   Nitrate in drinking water linked to increased dementia risk while nitrate from vegetables is linked to a lower risk, researchers find   Edith Cowan University (Australia) &  Danish Cancer Research Institute, January 28 2026 (Eurekalert) New research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) and the Danish Cancer Research Institute (DCRI) investigated the association between the intake of nitrate and nitrite from a wide range of different sources, and the associated risk of dementia.  The research, which investigated the association between source-specific nitrate and nitrite intake and incident and early-onset dementia, followed more than 54,000 Danish adults for up to 27 years and found that the source of nitrate was of critical importance in a diet.  The researchers found that people who ate more nitrate from vegetables had a lower risk of developing dementia, while those who consumed more nitrate and nitrite from animal foods, processed meats, and drinking water, had a higher risk of dementia.  When we eat nitrate-rich vegetables, we are also eating vitamins and antioxidants which are thought to help nitrate form the beneficial compound, nitric oxide, while blocking it from forming N-nitrosamines which are carcinogenic and potentially damaging to the brain.  Unlike vegetables, animal-based foods don't contain these antioxidants. In addition, meat also contains compounds such as heme iron which may actually increase the formation of N-nitrosamines. This is why nitrate from different sources may have opposite effects on brain health.   This is the first time that nitrate from drinking water has been linked to higher risks of dementia. The study found that participants exposed to drinking-water nitrate at levels below the current regulatory limits, had a higher rate of dementia.   Water doesn't contain antioxidants that can block formation of N-nitrosamines. Without these protective compounds, nitrate in drinking water may form N-nitrosamines in the body.   Afternoon naps clear up the brain and improve learning ability University of Freiburg (Germany) & University of Geneva, January 28 2026 (Eurekalert) Even a short afternoon nap can help the brain recover and improve its ability to learn. In a study published  in the journal NeuroImage, researchers at the  University of Freiburg and the University of Geneva show that even a nap is enough to reorganize connections between nerve cells so that new information can be stored more effectively.  The new study shows that a short sleep period can relieve the brain and put it back into a state of readiness to learn – a process that could be particularly beneficial for situations with high work load. The study examined 20 healthy young adults who either took a nap or stayed awake on two afternoons. The afternoon nap lasted on average 45 minutes.  The results showed that after the nap, the overall strength of synaptic connections in the brain was reduced – a sign of the restorative effect of sleep. At the same time, the brain's ability to form new connections was significantly improved. The brain was therefore better prepared for learning new content than after an equally long period of wakefulness. Screen time may increase body fat in children Ningbo University (China), January 15 2026 (News-Medical) A study published in Frontiers in Endocrinology reveals that higher screen time is associated with higher levels of body fat accumulation and less favorable obesity-related metabolic indicators in school-aged children, and that cardiorespiratory fitness can significantly influence this association. The study included a total of 1,286 third-grade students from six schools in Ningbo. Participants' cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed using the 20-meter shuttle run test. Information on screen time, physical activity, and diet quality was obtained from self-reported questionnaires. The study analysis indicated that higher screen time is significantly associated with increased visceral fat accumulation, body fat mass index, and body fat percentage, and with lower cardiorespiratory fitness and slightly lower blood levels of HDL-C. The study found that participants with more than two hours of daily screen time exhibit significantly increased visceral fat, fat mass index, and fat percentage, and significantly reduced cardiorespiratory fitness compared to those with less than two hours of daily screen time. Simple dietary change may slow liver cancer in at-risk patients Rutgers University, January 29 2026 (Medical Xpress) People with compromised liver function may be able to reduce their risk of liver cancer or slow its progression with a simple dietary change: eating less protein. A Rutgers-led study has found that low-protein diets slowed liver tumor growth and cancer death in mice, uncovering a mechanism by which a liver's impaired waste-handling machinery can inadvertently fuel cancer. When people consume protein, the nitrogen can be converted into ammonia, a substance that's toxic to the body and brain. A healthy liver typically processes this ammonia into harmless urea, which is excreted via urine. The clinical observation that the liver's ammonia-handling machinery is usually impaired in liver cancer patients is decades old. Zong's team utilized a technique to induce liver tumors in mice without crippling the ammonia-disposal system. The researchers then used gene-editing tools to disable ammonia-processing enzymes in some—but not all. The results were striking: Mice with disabled enzymes and higher ammonia levels developed heavier tumor burdens and experienced a much faster rate of mortality than those with functioning systems. The researchers then tested a straightforward intervention: reducing dietary protein. Mice fed low-protein food exhibited dramatically slower tumor growth and lived significantly longer than those that received food with standard levels of protein BREAK   Introducing the Clips For Today  Sharmine Narwani : The Slow Strangling of Syria and Lebanon - 4:55  Inventing a pandemic - by Maryanne Demasi, PhD - MD REPORTS - full - 2:49    Did Covid mRNA boosters train the immune system to stand down? - full (Maryanne Demasi)  -2:38   Bryce Nickels on X: "-@R_H_Ebright explains why dangerous gain-of-function research should be BANNED https://t.co/2TaLBzzkU0" / X - full (Richard E Bright explains why dangerous gain of function research should be banned)  - 3:17

BUFFALO, NY — January 15, 2026 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 17, Issue 12 of Aging-US on December 1, 2025, titled “CD47 antisense oligonucleotide treatment improves glucose homeostasis and alleviates dyslipidemia in aged male mice.” Led by Taesik Gwag and Shuxia Wang from the University of Kentucky and the Lexington Veterans Affairs Medical Center, the research shows that reducing CD47 levels improves blood sugar regulation and lipid balance in older mice. These findings are significant because metabolic disorders linked to aging increase the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic conditions. The results suggest that CD47 may be a promising target for improving metabolic health during aging. As people age, metabolic problems such as insulin resistance, high cholesterol, and increased abdominal fat become more common, even without significant weight gain. CD47 is known to play roles in immune signaling and aging-related inflammation, and earlier studies have linked it to metabolic dysfunction. This study examined whether lowering CD47 activity could reverse age-related metabolic decline. Researchers treated aged male mice with an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) designed to reduce CD47 for ten weeks. The treatment led to lower fasting blood glucose, improved glucose tolerance, and enhanced insulin sensitivity. Circulating lipid levels, including cholesterol and free fatty acids, were also reduced. Importantly, these benefits occurred without changes in overall body weight, indicating improved metabolic efficiency rather than weight loss. “Twenty-month-old male mice were treated with control ASO or CD47 ASO (25 μg/g) for 10 weeks.” One of the most notable findings was a selective reduction in visceral fat, the deep abdominal fat closely associated with metabolic disease. Fat cells in this tissue were smaller, reflecting reduced fat production within the cells rather than increased fat breakdown. This change helps explain why metabolic health improved without weight loss. Treatment also improved brown fat tissue function. Brown fat plays a key role in energy use and metabolism. Treated mice showed increased activity of genes involved in energy burning and hormone-like signaling, supporting improved whole-body glucose and lipid balance. Moreover, the liver showed improved glucose metabolism. While liver fat content was unchanged, genes involved in glucose uptake and processing were more active, further contributing to better blood sugar control. Together, these findings identify CD47 as a key regulator of age-related metabolic dysfunction. By improving glucose control, lipid balance, and fat tissue function in aged male mice, CD47 antisense therapy offers a promising path for future strategies aimed at reducing metabolic disease risk in aging populations.

This episode is another very personal one. My son eight year old son William was diagnosed with medulloblastoma nearly a year ago. He's since on embarked on an incredible journey of brain surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy – and recently rang the bell completing his treatment right before Thanksgiving.His response to this adversity has been nothing short of amazing and awe-inspiring. His smile and laughter has never ceased, his poise and strength are well-beyond his years, and I've chronicled his story on LinkedIn – where you'll see his incredible strength and optimism on display. Along the way, I've met some incredible people and world changers. One of those world changers is Dr. Jim Olson from Seattle Children's. James M. Olson, MD, PhD, is program director for the Invent at Seattle Children's Postdoctoral Scholars Program, a principal investigator in the Ben Towne Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders Research, and a professor at the University of Washington School of Medicine. He co-founded three biotechnology companies and has mentored more than 30 graduate students and postdoctoral research fellows. He chaired a national phase III clinical trial for high-risk medulloblastoma patients that led to a 20% improvement in five-year survival for Group 3 patients. Dr. Olson is the principal investigator on multiple projects that focus on developing effective new therapies for pediatric brain tumors; methods that allow surgeons to better visualize the border of brain cancer and normal brain, and the discovery of immunotherapeutics for several cancers. Dr. Olson's game changing research in immunotherapy could potentially revolutionize the standard of care as we know it – and has the potential to replace radiation and chemotherapy. In lab trials, this treatment completely eliminated cancer in 90% of brain tumors that are otherwise universally fatal in children. Mice that received the treatment were alive and disease-free, while the untreated mice died within 18 days.In this podcast, we discuss his research, next steps for funding and clinical trials – and what this could mean for families moving forward. Please enjoy this conversation and donate to Dr. Olson's groundbreaking immunotherapy trial here.

In today's episode recorded as a wrap up of Africa's MICE performance in 2025 with insights from a familiar voice on the podcast, Glenton de Kock. He unpacks a year he describes as “not only successful, but extremely busy,” highlighting South Africa's hosting of the G20 alongside a packed calendar of trade exhibitions and association meetings. Together, these milestones made 2025 a standout year for the region's business events sector.  

An animal study found that the smell of fatty foods during pregnancy and breastfeeding, even without eating them, can alter a child's brain development and make them more prone to obesity later in life Mice exposed to bacon-scented diets in the womb and through milk developed insulin resistance and gained more weight in adulthood, despite eating the same healthy diets as control mice The scent exposure rewired appetite and reward pathways in the brain, particularly affecting dopamine and AgRP neurons responsible for hunger regulation Researchers found 155 distinct odor molecules from fatty foods entering amniotic fluid and breast milk, directly shaping the offspring's sensory environment You can reduce your child's future risk of weight gain by managing food smells in your home, reducing inflammation, avoiding processed seed oils, and retraining your sense of smell with natural scents

Happy New Year! We start 2026 off with a puzzle: How can four people all work on the same picture book at the same time? And why? What's the process, and how on earth do you embroider every page? When Kate told Betsy she wanted a New Year's book, she failed to specify precisely what kind of New Year's. And since the Vietnamese new year of Tet occurs in January/February, Betsy took that as permission to finally tackle this fascinating 2003 publication. We go over our past predictions and resolutions, Tet, bananas, embroidery, and what a "leather mouse" might be.

At any given time, millions of lab mice are being used in research facilities nationwide. And yet nearly all of them can be connected back to a single source: The Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, where the modern lab mouse was invented.What started as a research project aimed at understanding heredity is now a global business. Research on lab mice has led to more than two dozen Nobel prizes, helped save countless human lives, and has pushed science and medicine to new heights. But behind it all is a cost that's rarely discussed outside of the ethics boards that determine how lab mice are used.   In this episode, we hear the story of how a leading eugenicist turned the humble mouse from a household pest into science's number one guinea pig. Plus, we get a rare peek inside the Jackson Laboratory - where over 10,000 strains of lab mice DNA are kept cryogenically frozen. Featuring Bethany Brookshire, Kristin Blanchette, Lon Cardon, Rachael Pelletier, Karen Rader, Nadia Rosenthal and Mark Wanner.
