Sleep, Glymphatic Detox, and the Hidden Heart Risks of Sleep Apnea: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin explains how sleep supports brain “housekeeping” via the glymphatic system, a glial-lymphatic waste-clearance network most active during sleep that moves cerebrospinal fluid through brain spaces to remove metabolites and toxic proteins such as amyloid beta, with sleep deprivation linked to amyloid accumulation. She notes other clearance pathways, including meningeal lymphatic vessels, whose impaired function is associated with neurodegenerative disease and brain injury. Reviews of human studies suggest sleep influences glymphatic outcomes, though results are inconsistent and methods vary. She emphasizes that poor sleep is associated with dementia risk, depressive symptoms, cardiovascular events, mortality, and impaired glucose metabolism, and highlights lifestyle strategies that may improve sleep. She warns that untreated obstructive sleep apnea accelerates cardiovascular aging via intermittent hypoxia and inflammation, raising blood pressure and cardiovascular event risk, while treatment (e.g., CPAP) may halt or reverse damage.

What if protecting your brain could start with your very next meal?In this episode of Happy & Healthy with Amy, Amy explains why the MIND diet may be one of the most powerful tools you have for supporting brain health and reducing your risk of cognitive decline. Rather than focusing on one “magic” brain food, Amy walks you through how this eating pattern helps create a healthier internal environment for your one and only brain. Using Dr. Dean Sherzai's “Four Horsemen of Alzheimer's” framework, Amy breaks down four core drivers of Alzheimer's progression: glucose dysregulation, lipid dysregulation, oxidative stress, and chronic inflammation. Then she connects each one to her wildfire metaphor so you can understand why your food choices matter and how the MIND diet helps calm the conditions that make the brain more vulnerable. This is education, not medical advice. Please work with a qualified healthcare provider for decisions about your health or a loved one's care.What to Listen For[00:00] Why food is one of the most powerful levers for preventing cognitive decline [01:00] How this episode builds on episode 256 about the MIND diet [02:00] Amy's wildfire metaphor for Alzheimer's progression [04:00] The Four Horsemen of Alzheimer's: glucose, lipids, inflammation, and oxidative stress [05:30] What MIND stands for and why it is not a weight-loss diet [07:00] What the original MIND diet studies found about Alzheimer's risk [09:00] Why glucose dysregulation is like “low humidity” in the brain [13:00] How lipid dysregulation becomes the “dry brush” that affects blood flow [17:00] Why oxidative stress is like biological heat and cellular wear and tear [21:00] How chronic inflammation acts like strong winds that spread the fire [25:00] Why the MIND diet is about changing internal conditions, not perfection [28:00] How to get the printable wallet-sized MIND diet guideThe MIND diet isn't about eating perfectly. It's about consistently creating better conditions for your brain.As Amy explains, nutrition is not a cure for Alzheimer's disease, and it is not a replacement for medical care.

When summer skin starts looking dull, congested, tired, or slower to recover, it is easy to blame the obvious things: heat, sweat, sunscreen, long days outside, or the wrong moisturizer. So the conversation usually stays on the surface. Use SPF. Cleanse better. Switch to lighter products. Add antioxidants. But before we treat summer skin like another product problem, there is a deeper question worth asking: what is the sun doing to the cell before you ever see the damage in the mirror?In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, I want to take the sun conversation past burns, wrinkles, and dark spots. I'm walking through what UV exposure does to the systems your skin depends on to keep up with summer: cellular energy, NAD, mitochondrial function, and DNA repair. Because the skin does not only need protection from the sun. It also needs enough repair capacity to deal with the damage that gets through.Young Goose's Skin Under the Sun campaign is active from June 15 through June 28 at younggoose.comWhat's Discussed:(01:50) The light-activated repair tool humans lost.(06:10) Why NAD matters for skin energy and repair.(10:15) How UV exposure increases oxidative stress and disrupts NAD supply.(16:44) What UV-induced DNA lesions are and why CPDs matter.(22:21) Why L.A.D.R. serum was built around light-activated repair-inspired science.(31:52) Why the sun is one of the biggest controllable inputs into biological skin aging.(35:43) The five protocol-level moves for supporting skin through summer.Listen to this episode of Biohacking Beauty to understand what UV is doing under the surface and how to build a smarter summer protocol around protection, energy, and repair.Resources Mentioned:Age-Associated Changes in Oxidative Stress and NAD+ Study: journals.plos.org/plosone/article/FASEB study on how methylene blue delays cellular senescence cells: faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/Find more from Young Goose:Use code PODCAST10 to get 10% OFF your first purchase, and if you're a returning customer use the code PODCAST5 to get 5% OFF at younggoose.comInstagram: @young_goose_skincare

Every fibroblast inside your dermis right now is asking 200 to 2,000 mitochondria to power its work in real time, and those mitochondria are descendants of a free-living bacterium swallowed by a larger cell 2 billion years ago. As you age, those mitochondria run slower and your cells build fewer of them to replace the ones that fail.In this solo episode, Young Goose co-founder Amitay Eshel breaks down the two sides of mitochondrial decline that drive skin aging and explains why the science-led skincare category has spent the last decades addressing only one of them.The first side of skin aging is where most skincare brands have built their products around. The other side is the one almost no skincare on the market is formulating for, and it is where the next chapter of skin longevity is being written.If you have outgrown the antioxidant-and-peptide era of skincare and want to understand what is actually happening underneath your skin as it ages, this episode is for you.What's Discussed:(01:35) The 2-billion-year-old contract inside every skin cell that is now fraying.(04:10) Why skin is one of the most mitochondria-dense organs in your body.(08:20) The 2012 paper that showed NAD drops by half between 35 and 70.(13:15) How a refugee fired in 1933 figured out the chemistry your cream still runs on.(16:30) The second half of the decline almost no skincare addresses.(19:45) The master regulator that decides whether your cells can hire.(24:00) The two columns of mitochondrial biology and why most brands only work in one.(32:10) Why this is a ten-year strategy, not a two-week one.Resources Mentioned:Download the Cellular Energy Protocol: https://www.younggoose.com/pages/the-mitochondrial-skin-stackAge-Associated Changes in Oxidative Stress and NAD+ Study: journals.plos.org/plosone/article/FASEB study on how methylene blue delays cellular senescence cells: faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/Find more from Young Goose:Use code PODCAST10 to get 10% OFF your first purchase, and if you're a returning customer use the code PODCAST5 to get 5% OFF at younggoose.comInstagram: @young_goose_skincare

Dr. Garth Nicolson, Founder, President, Chief Scientific Officer, and Emeritus Research Professor of Molecular Pathology at the Institute for Molecular Medicine in Huntington Beach, California, and Research Advisor for Nutritional Therapeutics, explains how membrane damage from free radicals and loss of mitochondrial transmembrane potential contribute to declining energy with age, noting studies in older adults showing improved energy output, fatigue, cognition, mood, and activity after NTFactor lipids, a protected phospholipid supplement balanced toward mitochondrial lipid composition. He describes evidence of lipid delivery using fluorescent-tagged lipids in sperm, with improved motility, and discusses applications including wound healing in veterans, removal of hydrophobic toxins via a concentration-driven “conveyor belt” process, and improved transport of nutrients like CoQ10. He details articles on normal aging, menopause-related changes supported by membranes, dementia risk linked to hearing loss, and rat studies showing delayed hearing loss with NTFactor, and mentions research on EMF sensitivity and planned schizophrenia trials.

What if the key to better energy, faster recovery, sharper focus, and healthier aging has been hiding in the smallest molecule on Earth? Greg 'The Hydrogen Man' and I uncover why TRUE hydrogen water is becoming one of the biggest breakthroughs in wellness, performance, and cellular health. Unlike ordinary water, molecular hydrogen works at the cellular level—helping combat oxidative stress, support mitochondrial function, reduce inflammation, and optimize overall vitality.But here's the catch… not all hydrogen water is created equal. Many products on the market lose potency quickly or fail to deliver therapeutic levels of hydrogen. So what makes TRUE hydrogen water different?If you've been struggling with fatigue, brain fog, poor recovery, low energy, or accelerated aging, this episode could completely change the way you think about hydration and health.Supplements Featured In This Episode:• Acceleradine® Iodine https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/acceleradine-iodine-supplement  • Accelerated Methylene Blue® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-methylene-blue-supplement Not sure what food to eat and avoid?

Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Andrew Salzman, a physician, inventor, and biomedical entrepreneur with more than 30 years of experience in drug discovery and development. An alumnus of Harvard Medical School, Yale University, and Columbia University, Dr. Salzman has authored more than 170 scientific publications and holds 50 patents. He invented the original clinical-stage PARP-1 inhibitor, leading to the world's first clinical treatment for raising NAD levels and fighting cancers caused by the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. Genentech licensed his breakthrough technology for $600 million. His research into gastrointestinal microbiota, autoimmune disease, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial ATP production now forms the foundation of how millions of patients get treated worldwide. Dr. Salzman names the two biggest NAD drains in your body, CD38 and PARP, and explains why taking NMN or NR alone is like filling a bathtub with the drain wide open. He breaks down the formulation science behind pairing NAD precursors with CD38 blockers like hydroxytyrosol alongside PARP-reducing antioxidants like ergothioneine, and delivers a paradigm-shifting explanation of creatine as an energy distribution network inside your cells. Rather than a simple muscle supplement, creatine acts as a high-speed ATP shuttle that carries energy from your mitochondria to the precise location and moment your brain, gut, and heart need it most. You'll Learn: Why NAD declines with age and which two enzymes are primarily responsible for draining it How CD38 rises with inflammation rather than NAD levels, and what that means for your supplement strategy Why creatine is one of the most underrated anti-aging and brain optimization supplements available How creatine functions as a spatial and temporal energy delivery network for your brain, gut, and heart Why the gut may be the origin point of the entire aging process and how that cascade unfolds decade by decade How leaky gut drives systemic inflammation, crashes NAD, and accelerates biological aging throughout the body What controls tight junction integrity and how ATP, butyrate, creatine, and fasting all play a role Why most creatine supplements fail to absorb properly and what to look for in a high-quality source How to rebuild your microbiome in three to four weeks through diet alone, without antibiotics Why walking immediately after a meal may be doing more harm than good to your gut lining Thank you to our sponsors! - Screenfit | Get your at-home eye training program for 40% off using code DAVE at https://www.screenfit.com/dave. - KILLSwitch | If you're ready for the best sleep of your life, order now at https://www.switchsupplements.com/and use code DAVE for 20% off - Pique | Go to Piquelife.com/dave for 20% off. - iRestore | Reverse hair loss at www.irestore.com/DAVE and get exclusive savings on the iRestore Elite, use code DAVE Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Send us Fan MailFor decades, the beauty industry focused on creams, serums, and surface-level solutions. But what if aging skin is really a reflection of something much deeper happening inside our cells? Today's guest is François Vix, a longtime global beauty and wellness executive who has spent more than four decades at the intersection of skincare science, redox biology and oxidative stress research, and healthy aging.François began his career inside some of the world's biggest beauty and consumer health companies, holding senior leadership roles at L'Oréal, Lancôme, Biotherm, Johnson & Johnson, Neutrogena, and RoC Skincare, where he helped scale global brands across North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Along the way, he became increasingly fascinated by a deeper scientific question: are we truly addressing the biological root causes of skin aging and inflammation - or simply treating the visible symptoms?That question eventually led François towards a new look at the science of redox biology, oxidative stress and the body's endogenous antioxidant systems, particularly the enzyme Superoxide Dismutase, or SOD - one of the body's first-line defenses against free radical damage.In 2001, François founded ISOCELL Laboratories ( https://www.glisodin.org/ ), focused on developing clinically studied approaches, including the GliSODin nutricosmetics brand, to supporting the body's own antioxidant defense mechanisms. Over the last two decades, the company has expanded internationally into more than 50 countries and has explored applications spanning skin health, inflammation, immune function, pigmentation disorders, and longevity science.Today, François speaks widely about redox biology and oxidative stress, integrative dermatology, and what he calls “beautyspan” - the idea that the future of beauty may increasingly be tied to cellular resilience, metabolic health, and healthy aging from within.#FrançoisVix #GliSODin #OxidativeStress #FreeRadicals #Longevity #Beautyspan #AntiAging #Perimenopause #MenopauseHealth #SkinHealth #HealthyAging #Mitochondria #RedoxBiology #Antioxidants #SOD #SuperoxideDismutase #IntegrativeMedicine #FunctionalMedicine #SkinLongevity #Biohacking #Healthspan #Inflammaging #LongevityScience #BeautyScience #Hormones #WomensHealth #CellularHealth #AgingResearch #WellnessPodcast #IraPastorSupport the show

In 1985, three scientists at Rice University discovered a carbon molecule so structurally perfect it eventually earned them the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. What nobody anticipated was what would happen when researchers gave it to rats — a 90% extension in lifespan, the longest longevity result ever recorded in mammalian history.Chris Burres has been manufacturing this molecule since 1991, five years before the Nobel Prize was awarded. He joins Dr. Brandon Crawford to break down how ESS60 (Carbon 60) works at the mitochondrial level, why it functions as a buffering oxidative stress system rather than a conventional antioxidant, and what the growing clinical evidence suggests about its effects on sleep, inflammation, cognition, and long-term healthspan.ResourcesMyVitalC Exclusive Offers: 40% discount on 6-bottle bundle, $30 coupon, and 18 free biohacking tips when you use the link myvitalc.com/crawfordLive Longer and Better by Chris Burres and Jerome Corsi (autographed copies available with proceeds supporting Operation Underground Railroad)Operation Underground Railroad — Non-profit combating child exploitation (100% of autograph fees donated)Live Beyond the Norms Podcast hosted by Chris BurresFollow MyVitalC on Instagram2012 Baati Study — Peer-reviewed research showing 90% lifespan extension in Wistar rats SES Research Inc. — Manufacturing and research company (since 1991, Houston, Texas)‍Products528 Innovations LasersNeuroSolution Full Spectrum CBDNeuroSolution Broad Spectrum CBDNeuroSolution StimpodSTEMREGEN®Learn MoreFor more information, resources, and podcast episodes, visit https://tinyurl.com/3ppwdfpm

Astaxanthin is showing up everywhere, from eye health supplements to skin and brain formulas, but most people still can't answer the basics: what is it, where does it come from, and what does the research actually suggest it can do. We walk through why seniors are at higher risk for macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, and dry eye, then connect those real-world concerns to the bigger drivers behind aging and vision loss: oxidative stress and inflammation.We explain astaxanthin as a marine carotenoid made primarily by microalgae and found in seafood like salmon, trout, shrimp, lobster, and krill. Then we dig into why it stands out in the antioxidant conversation, including comparisons to familiar nutrients and how it supports the body's antioxidant defenses. We also talk about its photoprotective angle for UV-related oxidative damage and why that matters for skin health, including moisture and barrier support.For vision, we focus on practical use cases like computer eye strain and visual fatigue, plus the deeper eye disease topics that matter most with aging. We connect astaxanthin's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to macular degeneration, discuss abnormal blood vessel growth linked to wet macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, and cover the neuroprotection frame for glaucoma and optic nerve health. We also touch on brain health, including research on memory outcomes and typical supplement ranges mentioned in studies, and we wrap with food sources versus microalgae-based supplements.If you want clear, evidence-informed natural eye care guidance you can actually use, listen now, then subscribe, share this with someone who spends all day on screens, and leave us a review.For more information, visit naturaleyecare.com and doctorgrossman2020.comOur email address is info@naturaleyecare.comIf you have any questions, call us 845-475-4158

Cancer is typically framed as uncontrolled growth: cells breaking the rules and turning against the body. In this episode, Patrick Coles presents a different theory, one grounded in biophysics and terrain-based thinking, that reframes tumors as part of a larger adaptive process tied to toxic load and metabolic stress.Coles, trained as a physicist, approaches cancer through the lens of systems, thresholds, and testable predictions. His Toxin Sequestration Theory centers on the idea that chronic exposure to environmental and metabolic stressors – heavy metals, industrial chemicals, microplastics, and dietary inputs – drives the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). When that burden exceeds the body's capacity to neutralize it, he proposes that tumor formation may serve as a localized containment strategy.Throughout the conversation, we examine the mechanisms behind this theory, including why certain toxins are consistently found in tumor tissue, how cancer cells appear to upregulate transporters to pull in specific compounds, and what role oxidative stress plays across chronic disease. We also explore how this model interprets familiar concepts like metastasis, staging, and organ-specific cancers, and how it aligns with a broader terrain framework focused on adaptation, compensation, and internal balance.The discussion doesn't shy away from difficult questions. If tumors are involved in sequestration, how should we think about interventions that shrink or destroy them? What happens to the stored burden when those cells are disrupted? And how should outcomes be measured – tumor size, or long-term resilience and lifespan?Coles is developing this theory in real time, drawing both interest and criticism. This episode captures that process – laying out the core ideas, testing their coherence, and examining where they hold and where they need further work.Learn more about Patrick Coles by following his Substack at https://substack.com/@nutritionalphysicist and his YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@OxalateWarrior.Support Terrain Theory on Patreon!

Oxidative stress is one of the primary drivers of aging, inflammation, and chronic disease — and glutathione may be the body's most powerful defense. In this episode, Dr. Greg Jones sits down with Dr. Nayan Patel, internationally recognized pharmacist and author of The Glutathione Revolution, to break down the science behind the body's “master antioxidant.”As we age, glutathione production declines. When intracellular glutathione drops, oxidative stress rises — damaging mitochondria, accelerating cellular aging, impairing detoxification, and increasing vulnerability to metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases. Dr. Patel explains why glutathione must work inside the cell to be effective, why many oral supplements fail, and how absorption and delivery systems matter.The conversation explores:• How free radicals damage DNA and mitochondria• Why glutathione outperforms traditional antioxidants• The relationship between glutathione, vitamin C, and NAD• The impact of alcohol, sleep deprivation, and stress on antioxidant reserves• Why athletes and high performers burn through glutathione faster• How deep breathing influences oxidative balance and longevityWhether you are focused on longevity, detoxification, athletic recovery, or preventing chronic disease, this episode offers a science-based framework for understanding oxidative stress and how to optimize your cellular resilience.

In this episode of the Kreatures of Habit Podcast, Michael Chernow sits down with astaxanthin expert David Watumull to explore one of the most powerful—and overlooked—nutrients in health and longevity. Known as the pigment that gives salmon its pink color, astaxanthin is a marine antioxidant humans can't produce, yet it plays a critical role in protecting the body at the cellular level.David breaks down how astaxanthin works differently from traditional antioxidants like vitamin C and E, explaining its unique ability to span cell membranes and reach key areas like mitochondria and even the nucleus. The conversation dives into its potential to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, improve endurance and recovery, support cardiovascular health, and influence longevity pathways like autophagy. They also discuss emerging research, including NIH-backed studies showing lifespan extension in animal models, and what that could mean for human healthspan.This episode is a deep, science-backed look at performance, recovery, and aging optimization—while reinforcing that no supplement replaces the fundamentals of sleep, movement, and daily habits. If you're serious about longevity, energy, and operating at a high level, this conversation will open your eyes to what might be missing from your routine.00:00 Astaxanthin Explained04:22 Salmon Endurance Story06:21 Cell Membrane Superpower07:55 Performance and Daily Use09:46 Oxidative Stress 10116:32 Inflammation and CNS19:31 Autophagy Without Fasting24:19 Why Its Still Unknown30:25 Purity and Absorption Edge35:21 Mouse Study Breakthrough39:27 Lifespan Versus Healthspan41:53 Will Humans Live Longer47:34 High Performer Recovery50:28 Rest Recovery Advice52:17 Morning And Evening Routines56:03 Where To Buy Astaxanthin56:42 Research With Modern AI59:09 Wrap And Takeaways

What if everything you're doing to stay healthy—your diet, your supplements, your exercise routine—is only part of the story? What if the real question is whether your body is actually absorbing, using, and benefiting at the cellular level? In this powerful solo episode, Dr. Gillian Lockitch invites you to rethink how you measure wellness and healthy aging by introducing a biomarker that is both completely personal and scientifically valid: your antioxidant protection score.Drawing from her background as a physician and specialist medical biochemist, as well as a life-changing personal health scare, Dr. Lockitch explains the invisible but relentless process of oxidative stress—the cellular damage caused by free radicals that accumulates over time and contributes to aging and chronic disease. Through a vivid and emotional story of her sudden diagnosis of myopic macular degeneration, she brings home the reality that aging is not just about time passing, but about what is happening inside your body every single day. This episode goes beyond theory to illuminate the science of antioxidants as your body's essential defense system. You will learn how endogenous antioxidants produced within your cells work in partnership with dietary antioxidants like carotenoids, and why this balance is critical for protecting your brain, eyes, heart, skin, and overall vitality. Dr. Lockitch also explains why nutrient intake alone is not enough—what truly matters is bioavailability, absorption, and delivery to target tissues.Most importantly, this conversation introduces a breakthrough in personalized health: the ability to measure your antioxidant status quickly, non-invasively, and in real time. By tracking carotenoid levels in your skin, with the new Prysm io, you gain a window into your body's internal resilience against oxidative stress. This transforms your approach from guessing and hoping to knowing and acting. If you've ever wondered whether your healthy lifestyle is truly making a difference, this episode will shift your perspective. It is both a call to awareness and a message of empowerment: when you understand what is happening inside your body, you gain the ability to change it—and to take control of how you age, from the inside out.  Episode Timeline: 00:00 – Welcome and introduction  Dr. Gillian introduces the episode and poses the powerful question: do you know your antioxidant score?  01:10 – Why antioxidant protection matters  Explores the gap between healthy habits and measurable protection against oxidative stress.  03:30 – A personal turning point  Dr. Gillian shares her diagnosis of myopic macular degeneration and the urgent treatment that followed.  06:10 – Lessons from the AREDS study  How targeted nutrients support eye health and why prevention is more powerful than treatment.  08:20 – Measuring what matters  Introduction to antioxidant scanning and the surprising results from early testing.  10:30 – Understanding oxidative stress  Clear explanation of free radicals, cellular damage, and environmental contributors.  13:00 – Internal vs dietary antioxidants  How your body's own defense systems work alongside nutrients from food and supplements.  15:10 – The role of carotenoids in healthy aging  How these plant compounds support the eyes, brain, heart, and skin.  17:00 – Introducing the Prysm iO device  How this non-invasive technology measures antioxidant levels in seconds.  18:30 – From guessing to knowing  Why tracking your antioxidant score empowers better aging decisions.  19:30 – Final thoughts and invitation  Call to action to measure, monitor, and take control of your biological aging.  Connect with Dr. Gillian Lockitch Download your Guide to Nature's Colouful Antioxidants Connect with Dr. Gillian Lockitch at askdrgill@gmail.com to request a  zoom call to demo the Prysm io: Email Subject: Prysm Podcast Join the Growing Older Living Younger Facebook Community here  Share the Growing Older Living Younger podcast link for anyone you care about and invite them to subscribe  

Send us Fan MailIs the fundamental purpose of sleep to remove oxidized fats from the brain?Nick & Dr. Amita Sehgal talk about the latest science on why animals sleep. Using fruit flies, her lab shows that waking generates oxidized lipids in neurons that are shuttled to glia and then cleared by macrophage-like cells during sleep. This process protects mitochondria, supports memory, and links sleep to metabolic cleanup rather than just rest.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Drosophila as a model: Fruit flies sleep with immobility, reduced responsiveness, and homeostatic rebound; their genetics reveal conserved mechanisms found in humans.Circadian vs homeostatic sleep: Circadian timing sets when we sleep; homeostatic drive builds need from prolonged wakefulness independent of time of day.Metabolic waste during wake: Neuronal activity oxidizes lipids in mitochondria; these damaged lipids transfer to glial support cells via apolipoproteins.Immune cells clear brain trash: Macrophage-like hemocytes dock at the brain during sleep, phagocytose oxidized lipids, and remove them; blocking this docking reduces sleep and impairs memory.Peroxisomes & oxidative stress: These organelles handle specific fats and rise with wakefulness; disrupting them increases brain oxidation that can be partially rescued by antioxidants like N-acetylcysteine.Sickness sleep differs from normal sleep: Infection-induced sleep redirects energy to immune defense and depletes rather than restores brain energy stores.ABOUT THE GUEST: Amita Sehgal, PhD is the John Herr Musser Professor of Neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania, an HHMI Investigator, and director of the Chronobiology and Sleep Institute. She uses Drosophila genetics to uncover basic mechanisms of circadian rhythms and sleep.RELATED EPISODE:M&M 257: Sleep, Mitochondrial Metabolism & Oxidative Stress | Gero MiesenbockSupport the showHealth Products by M&M Partners:SporesMD: Premium mushrooms products (gourmet mushrooms, nootropics, research).

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 3-26-2026: li> Dr. Dawn announces a UCSF study recruiting participants for psilocybin therapy to help patients cope with chronic low back pain, requiring ages 25-70 with failed prior treatments. A caller preparing for bladder stone surgery asks about avoiding a repeat of severe post-anesthesia disorientation. Dr. Dawn recommends pharmacogenomic testing through 3x4 Genetics to identify slow acetylator status and other detoxification enzyme variants that can guide anesthesiologists toward better drug choices. A clinical trial found that 24 minutes of music with binaural beats—where slightly offset audio in each ear generates synchronized brainwaves—significantly reduced anxiety in medicated patients. Dr. Dawn encourages trying this accessible, low-risk intervention. Chronic noise exposure triggers oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction, increasing cardiovascular disease risk. Data centers and server farms are emerging noise pollution sources, and Dr. Dawn recommends affordable noise-canceling headphones as a health investment. A Crohn's patient in Switzerland reports alarming neurological symptoms including speech arrest with preserved awareness and transient visual disturbances. He is having trouble finding any Functional Medicine trained physician and Dr. Dawn recommends emailing to info@ifm.org. Furthermore, Dr. Dawn suspects possible seizure activity from brain inflammation and recommends pursuing a sleep-deprived EEG and MRI through a neurology referral. MIT researchers discovered Interlectin-2, a protein that both strengthens the mucus barrier by cross-linking mucins and directly traps and kills pathogens like Salmonella and Shigella. Imbalanced levels may contribute to inflammatory bowel disease. Synthetic versions may be an effective treatment for inflammatory bowel disease. A 33-year-old man survived 48 hours without lungs after flu-triggered bacterial pneumonia caused ARDS and multiple organ failure. Surgeons removed both lungs treat septic shock while ECMO (extracorporeal oxygenation)sustained him until a successful double lung transplant. A meta-analysis of 43 studies involving millions of births found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy increases autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability risk, contradicting recent political claims. Green tea contains about 30% more L-theanine than black tea, with studies showing 200mg daily improves verbal fluency, sleep quality, and reduces anxiety. Decaffeinated green tea retains full theanine content. Pop star Robbie Williams developed scurvy while on GLP-1 weight loss drugs, highlighting that only 2 of 40+ major GLP-1 trials assessed vitamin intake. Dr. Dawn urges anyone on these medications to take a comprehensive multivitamin.

Welcome back to Embody Radio! Today's episode is one of those "nerdy girl deep dives" that I've been so excited to share with you. I sat down with David Watumull, a researcher and formulator who has spent over two decades in the astaxanthin space, starting all the way back in the algae ponds of Kona, Hawaii as a high schooler, and working his way through pharmaceutical-grade research and development.   If you've never heard of astaxanthin, or if you've heard of it but kind of wrote it off as "just another antioxidant," this episode is going to change that for you. We get into the weeds on what makes astaxanthin structurally different from other antioxidants (spoiler: it actually spans the entire cell membrane like a bridge, while things like vitamin C just sit on the outside), how it fights free radicals without becoming a pro-oxidant itself, and why it matters for literally everyone, not just people who are "old enough to worry about aging."   We cover a LOT of ground in this one: What oxidative stress actually is (explained like you're five) and why modern life accelerates it How astaxanthin works upstream of inflammation like a thermostat, not an on/off switch The connection between oxidative stress and brain fog, mood, sleep, joint pain, and skin health Why your 3pm energy crash might be a bigger red flag than you think How astaxanthin crosses the blood-brain barrier and promotes neuroplasticity and BDNF production The NIH Interventions Testing Program results Astaxanthin's role as "internal sunscreen." What that means and what it doesn't Why it pairs so well with omega-3s, creatine, and other longevity supplements Dosing guidance David's personal story from the algae ponds to pharmaceutical research to launching AX3   I've been personally taking astaxanthin for about a month now, and I'm noticing calmer mental energy, better recovery from training, and significantly improved REM and deep sleep. This one is backed by over 4,000 peer-reviewed papers and 100+ human clinical trials, so we're not just vibing here, there's real science.   If you want to try AX3 for yourself, use code EMBODY at ax3.life for a 20% discount.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Neil Levin, the Senior Nutrition Education Manager and a product formulator for NOW(r) Foods and Protocol for Life Balance. 

Nutritional Support for Brain Health: Lifestyle, Curcumin, Magnesium, and Key Nootropics: Nutrition educator/formulator Neil Levin from Protocol for Life Balance details nutritional support for brain health amid skepticism about “brain-boosting” supplements, citing a preprint randomized controlled trial using a multifaceted lifestyle plan (diet, exercise, sleep) plus targeted supplementation that reportedly improved and even reversed symptoms in people with mild cognitive impairment. They contrast lifestyle strategies with costly, side-effect-prone injectable “plaque-buster” Alzheimer's drugs and notes debate about whether amyloid is a root cause or byproduct. The conversation highlights inflammation and oxidation as major aging-related brain threats and reviews supplements including a brain-targeted curcumin (discussing bioavailability, delivery methods, blood–brain barrier crossing, and claims of lowering beta-amyloid protein), magnesium L-threonate for CNS delivery, phosphatidylserine and acetylcholine support (including huperzine), ginkgo and gotu kola, glutamine/GABA pathways, creatine, omega-3s (DHA/EPA and algae sources), B vitamins, acetyl-L-carnitine, alpha-lipoic acid, and cocoa flavanols, plus concerns about supplement industry enforcement.

Are ADHD and autism purely genetic and neurological, or could oxidative stress be a missing piece of the puzzle? In this episode of the Naturally Nourished Podcast, we unpack the growing conversation around how excessive oxidative burden and low antioxidant status may influence brain chemistry, behavior, and symptom expression. We explore how modern inputs like environmental exposures, dietary patterns, metabolic stress, and toxin load can contribute to neurological inflammation and why looking upstream at root drivers can shift how we approach support strategies. We also break down what actually helps lower oxidative stress in practical, sustainable ways, from stabilizing blood sugar and prioritizing protein to increasing antioxidant-rich produce and targeted nutrient support. This conversation connects the dots between physiology and daily habits, giving you tangible tools to support neurological resilience, mood regulation, and cognitive function using food-as-medicine.  Also in this episode:  Episode 138 Autism, ADHD and Functional Pediatrics with Guest Dr. Emily Gutierrez  Episode 201 Autism and ADHD: A Functional Approach Symptoms and presentation of ADHD & Autism Prevalence of ADHD & Autism Conventional treatment of ADHD & Autism Multiavail Kids B Complex Root Causes of ADHD & Autism Genetics Episode 214 Genetic SNP Review and Medical Autonomy Blood Sugar Balance A Ketogenic Diet and the Treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder Whey Protect A modified ketogenic gluten-free diet with MCT improves behavior in children with autism spectrum disorder Kids Essentials Bundle EPA DHA Liquid Microbiome Imbalance Kids Biotic Restore Baseline Probiotic  Antioxidant Status NAC & Glutathione A Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial of Oral N-Acetylcysteine in Children with Autism - PMC The potential role of the antioxidant and detoxification properties of glutathione in autism spectrum disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis Sulforaphane Chemical derived from broccoli sprouts shows promise in treating autism The effect of sulforaphane on autism spectrum disorder: systematic review and meta-analysis - PMC Heavy Metals 10 Day Detox Micronutrient Panel Supplements for Support Cellular Antiox Relax and Regulate Kids Essentials Bundle Calm and Clear    Sponsors for this episode:  This episode is sponsored by FOND Bone Broth, your sous chef in a jar.
