In this episode, Xavier Bonilla has a dialogue with Bill Sullivan about genes and how they impact various aspects of humanity.  They define genes and DNA and the roles of genes within the environment. They also discuss the complicated dynamics of epigenetics. They talk about the genetics of taste and caffeine and how some genes are implicated in addictions to various substances. They also talk about the genetics of appetite and the gut microbiome, emotional states, and beliefs. They also discuss CRISPR, the ethical landscape of genetics, and many more topics.  William J. Sullivan is the Showalter Professor of Pharmacology & Toxicology and Microbiology & Immunology at the Indiana University School of Medicine. He has his PhD in Molecular and Cell Biology from the University of Pennsylvania and researches genes and some parasites.

Cannabis and Immunity Research:Norbert Kaminski is a Professor of Pharmacology & Toxicology at Michigan State University, where he also serves as the Director of the Institute for Integrative Toxicology and the Interim Director of the Center for Research on Ingredient Safety. Cannabinoids are the biologically active compounds in cannabis sativa. Dr. Kaminski researches how they modulate the immune system in response to viral attacks. He explains how one’s immune system response reacts to lung infections and can play a role in repairing damaged lung tissues. His works are particularly relevant today and it is further motivated as we research the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. Hear how cannabis plays an important role in this field.W420 Radio Correspondent Rich Walcoff in the field Special Report:Cannabis Infused Sparkling Beverages!Alexi Chialtas and Phil McGarr join us from WUNDER, a unique company that produces cannabis infused sparkling beverages.

Listen in!Legal Considerations of Cannabis:Morgan Fox is the Media Relations Director for the National Cannabis Industry Association. The new Presidential administration and Congress appear to be making moves toward legalization. However, there are also talks about dosage strength limits because some White House employees were dismissed, supposedly because of previous marijuana use. So, in the mix in current affairs, Mr. Fox sheds some light on where things are now. While there has been some talk about limiting THC levels, there is no evidence of an imminent movement in that directions. Some consider unlikely that the President would veto a bill to deschedule cannabis and The Safe Banking Bill, which was re-introduced last week. So despite some back and forth motion, there is potential for forward motion in the very near future. Put your finger on the pulse and listen.Coping with the Pandemic:Dr. Joseph Maroon is a board-certified neurosurgeon with more than 40 years of clinical experience at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He is on the Board of Directors at CV Sciences. Many are feeling frustrated and ‘burnt out’ from the pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is of importance today as the pandemic looms across the globe.

In this episode, Francisco Gonzalez-Lima, a Professor of Neuroscience and Pharmacology & Toxicology, explains the vascular hypothesis of Alzheimer’s disease which says the central problem is a progressive neuronal energy crisis of impaired blood flow to the brain and impaired mitochondrial respiration. He walks us through the ways we can intervene in this process and also shares details of the exciting future of Alzheimer’s treatment and prevention. We discuss: Background and interest in the brain [5:15]; The unique nature of the human brain [9:15]; Why we’ve made so little progress in Alzheimer’s research [23:00]; The amyloid beta hypothesis [28:30]; Hypometabolism in the brain leading to cognitive decline [39:30]; Early signs of AD, and deciphering between age-related decline versus something pathologic [47:45]; The vascular hypothesis of Alzheimer’s disease [54:00]; The relationship between mitochondria, cytochrome c oxidase, and Alzheimer’s disease [1:08:00]; Chronic inhibition of cytochrome c oxidase leads to chronic neurodegenerative disease [1:22:45]; Major risk factors for AD, head trauma, and other forms of dementia [1:33:45]; Methylene blue for treating and preventing neurodegeneration [1:38:15]; Current standard of care for AD, and the reasons for a lack of advancement [2:01:45]; Near infrared light as a targeted treatment for cognitive decline [2:05:30]; The ketogenic diet as a treatment and preventative measure [2:13:15]; Exciting future research coming from Francisco [2:23:00]; Methylene blue for traumatic brain injuries [2:25:15]; and More.
