What's the problem with antibiotics anyway? On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared passionately answers this question. There is no antibiotic that doesn't cause harm. That's not to say they don't have their place, but as Jared explains, they are almost never necessary and almost always prescribed for common problems like UTI's and sinus infections. You'll learn why many infections don't need, and won't respond to antibiotics, the ramifications of even a single dose of antibiotics, and how antibiotic superbugs are a real problem. Jared delves into why antibiotics are overused, side effects of particularly dangerous forms, and the effects on mental health and the immune system. This show will be followed with one on antibiotic alternatives and ways to rebuild your microbiome after antibiotic exposure.Additional Information:#264: Emotional Vitality: Jen's Story Part 1 - From Addiction and Mental Illness to Vitality#266: Prescribing Poisons Part 2.

It's been an unusually tough winter virus season. Rates of flu-like infections are higher than they've been in nearly 30 years. And for the first winter since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, flu deaths have surpassed COVID deaths. Add to that a higher-than-average year for norovirus, a nasty type of stomach bug.Then there's the emerging threat of avian flu. While there is no evidence of human-to-human transmission of the virus, about 70 people in the US have contracted the virus from livestock since April 2024.To make sense of the latest viral trends, Host Flora Lichtman talks with Dr. Katelyn Jetelina, epidemiologist and author of the newsletter “Your Local Epidemiologist”; and Dr. Erica Shenoy, chief of infection control at Mass General Brigham hospital.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Send us a textIn this episode, VJ explores the fascinating connection between viral infections and autoimmune diseases. From Type 1 Diabetes to Rheumatoid Arthritis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), research shows that certain viruses can trigger autoimmune responses in genetically susceptible individuals.VJ discusses three key viruses—Coxsackievirus, Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), and Parvovirus B19—and how they may initiate chronic autoimmune conditions through a process called molecular mimicry. You'll learn about the latest research on these viral triggers, the mechanisms involved, and the potential for preventive and therapeutic approaches in the future.Key highlights:- Coxsackievirus and its role in triggering Type 1 Diabetes. Study here. - Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) reactivation and its link to Rheumatoid Arthritis. Study here. - How Parvovirus B19 may contribute to the onset of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Study here. We also touch on the connection between EBV reactivation and viral exposure, explaining how immune suppression during or after infection may trigger EBV reactivation, potentially leading to post-viral symptoms.Want to join my new program, The Inflammation Reset, designed to help you tackle inflammation at its source and reclaim your health?

Send us a Text Message.On March 11, 2020, after over 118,000 cases of COVID-19 had been reported in 114 countries, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The term Long COVID began popping up across the globe shortly after. People with Long COVID experience any combination of a huge number of symptoms that range from gastrointestinal issues to brain fog to extreme exhaustion and an inability to do what were once pretty simple tasks like getting dressed, preparing meals, or even getting out of bed.Although we have a ways to go before we understand a disease as complex as Long COVID, over the last few years scientists have made significant research strides and the millions of people suffering from Long COVID have brought light to health conditions including ME/CFS, that many people didn't previously realize existed. In this episode, you'll hear from an ME/CFS researcher, a Long COVID patient about her difficult and winding experience to understand what was happening in her body following a COVID infection, and a journalist and author who recently wrote a book on Long COVID.Here's a link to Ryan Prior's book, The Long Haul: How Long Covid Survivors Are Revolutionizing Health Care.

In this in-vitro study, researchers demonstrate that a cardiac tissue infected with SARS-COV-2 can contain the viral genome for days after infection. Not only is the viral genome present, but viral reactivation occurs as soon as this cardiac tissue undergoes a hypoxic stress state. The researchers recommend that clinicians look for the presence of the virus, or its genome, or cardiac troponin levels, to monitor at risk hearts. Let's review.

In this episode, I discuss the mechanisms by which human eggs and sperm are generated, the ovulatory/menstrual cycle, the conception process and overall fertility in males and females. I also explain how, regardless of whether you seek to conceive children, optimizing egg and sperm health is directly related to vitality and longevity. I cover the nutrition-based, behavioral, supplement-based and prescription approaches to optimizing egg and sperm health, the ovulatory/menstrual cycle and fertility. In addition, I explain lifestyle choices that greatly assist or harm fertility—several of which are very surprising. I provide science-based protocols for those trying to conceive children. The tools and principles I discuss can also improve overall vitality and longevity in all people, regardless of age.  For the full show notes, visit hubermanlab.com.
