When physically fit women exercise during pregnancy they could be setting their children up for better fitness too. That's according to a study published today in Science Advances led by Min Du, professor of animal sciences at Washington State University, and his PhD student Jun Seok Son. They found exercise during pregnancy stimulates the production of brown adipose tissue, commonly known as brown fat, in a developing fetus. Brown fat's primary role in the body is to burn off heat. It is often called good fat. White adipose tissue or white fat, on the other hand, is responsible for obesity and harder to burn off. It is commonly known as bad fat.
There’s so much information out there about COVID-19 it’s dizzying. We a want to know just one thing – How do I pretext myself from getting it! After all that’s why we are on lock-down worldwide, washing our hands feverishly, wearing protective masks and social distancing. But if you pay attention to some basic science you can discover why this disease preys upon the elderly and those with pre-existing diseases. But not all pre-existing illness. Specifically diseases that occur in the diabetic obese portion of our population. Listen to this show as we connect the dots and you will see and understand how to not only protect yourself from getting this virus, but also what to do if you do get it. This will be the last interview you’ll need to save you and your family.
Regular exercise may reduce the risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome, a major cause of death in patients with the COVID-19 virus. New research "strongly supports" the possibility that exercise can prevent or at least reduce the severity of ARDS, which affects between 3% and 17% of all patients with COVID-19. Based on available information, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates 20% to 42% of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 will develop ARDS. Based upon prior to the pandemic suggested that approximately 45 percent of patients who develop severe ARDS will die. As a result of this new research a potential treatment plan is suggested.

Researchers from the University of California, Irvine have conducted a statistical analysis that predicts more than 70,000 heart attacks, strokes and other adverse cardiovascular events could be prevented each year in the U.S. through the use of a highly purified fish oil therapy. How does purified fish oil do this? And what about eating more omega 3 rich fish? We discuss this and more.
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring peptide first isolated from human blood plasma. It has since been identified in urine and saliva as well. Research into GHK-Cu has found the sport peptide to have substantial benefits in wound healing and immune function. It has anti-aging properties and has been found to suppress free-radical damage, increase protein synthesis, fight bacteria, and increase the health of skin and skin fibroblasts. It’s also under the 400 Dalton molecular weight threshold which makes it suitable for topical and transdermal delivery.
Many doctors say testosterone is the male hormone or estrogen is the female hormone, but they are completely wrong. This lack of informed opinion puts their patients at great risk. If your physician speaks in these terms it shows a level of ignorance of both science and critical thinking. You’ve been warned.
Two OTC supplements can help women and men. We will discuss two recent studies that should provide valuable information for listeners who are, or know someone who is, dealing with menopause or type-2 diabetes. PLUS Anti-body tests are being hawked by many different companies today. Are they all legit? Are some more reliable than others? PLUS In times of distress and distractions science tries to leverage the fact that perhaps no one is really paying attention. A recent study attempts to make the case that the barbaric and ineffective androgen-deprivation-therapy may protect men from contracting and dying from COVID-19.
Wouldn’t you like to know if you’re ready to train again or need more rest before your next intense training session? How about if those expensive nootropics you’re buying are actually working? Or, is that new Autism regimen you’re using with your child, helping? Maybe you just want to know if your brain is aging well or not. Assessing brain function and acuity requires expensive equipment normally found in a lab. Not anymore. Now you can get these and more accurate answers sitting right at your kitchen table. Here’s how.
Study discussed by Carl - Improvement of Remyelination in Demyelinated Corpus Callosum Using Human Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (hADSCs) and Pregnenolone in the Cuprizone Rat Model of Multiple Sclerosis - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32314194/
The oldest in our global population have suffered the greatest mortality from this pandemic outbreak. Experts warn that this of us over 60 years of age are at greatest risk of dying. Many of us in this audience already use senolytic agents to help push back biological aging. Are these strategies helpful in protecting against COVID-19 as well? Is there a difference in the death toll of those who are chronological 0ver 60 years old versus a 65 year old person who is biologically 40? And what of time restricted feeding? It imparts some of the same benefits as senolytics. We learn the answers to these and more on today’s show.
People love to say “sugar is addictive”, and while it’s not addictive in there clinical sense of the word, it definitely has an effect on desire and consumption. Artificial sweeteners have never fully succeeded in impersonating sugar. Now, a Columbia University study in mice has identified a brain mechanism that may explain why. In a scientific first, researchers have shown that the brain responds not only when sugar touches the tongue but also when it enters the gut. Their discovery of this specialized gut-brain circuit offers new insight into the way the brain and body evolved to seek out sugar. And because artificial sweeteners do not activate this circuit, the study also offers compelling evidence as to why these sweeteners are never quite as satisfying as the real thing. PLUS Some of the signs the lock-down is causing more problems.

During this pandemic shut-down liquor stores have been deemed essential and remain open. What’s not essential are hangovers! A well-known hangover drug not only helps soothe pounding headaches but also triggers profound changes that protect the liver, USC scientists report in new findings that could help prevent alcohol-related harm. Alcohol use disorders constitute the most common form of substance abuse. About 88,000 people die of alcohol-related deaths annually -- the third leading preventable cause of death in the United States, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. PLUS The CDC owns some 28 vaccine patents. Why? And does it make our government any money? Simple questions I think need to be answered.
Most diseases that cause catastrophic loss of vision do so as a result of abnormal angiogenesis and wound healing. This may be a result of injury, aging or diabetes. New research indicates that the use of a common and inexpensive vitamin B3, nicotinamide, not only inhibits these cell transformations, but can also reverse that cell transition and slow down the development of eye diseases that may lead to vision loss or blindness. Most fascinating is that these advanced nutrient therapies may prove to effect all tissue types throughout the entire body.
Today’s interview discusses research discoveries within 4 areas of exercise immunology that have received the most attention from investigators: (1) acute and chronic effects of exercise on the immune system, (2) clinical benefits of the exercise–immune relationship, (3) nutritional influences on the immune response to exercise, and (4) the effect of exercise on immunosenescence.
Epidemiological studies suggest that insulin resistance accelerates progression of age-based cognitive impairment, which neuroimaging has linked to brain glucose hypometabolism. As cellular inputs, ketones increase Gibbs free energy change for ATP by 27% compared to glucose. Here we test whether dietary changes are capable of modulating sustained functional communication between brain regions (network stability) by changing their predominant dietary fuel from glucose to ketones. PLUS Even if we stayed quarantined in place for a year, this virus will make its way through the population. And a vaccine won't change that. In fact, if the CV19 is anything like the seasonal flu vaccine, it's going to be less than 55% effective for a broad population. We only beat it if we start to come out of hiding.
High-fat, low-carbohydrate ketogenic diets have been used for almost a century for the treatment of epilepsy. Used traditionally for the treatment of refractory pediatric epilepsies, in recent years the use of ketogenic diets has experienced a revival to include the treatment of adulthood epilepsies as well as conditions ranging from autism to chronic pain and cancer. Despite the ability of ketogenic diets therapy to suppress seizures refractory to antiepileptic drugs and reports of lasting seizure freedom, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. In this interview we explores new insights into mechanisms mobilized by the ketogenic diet.

Most of us feel something is wrong with how our Government is handling this COVID-19 pandemic. We were told we must flatten the curve to avoid overrunning our hospital capacities and that mutated to a complete nationwide shutdown. We were told wearing masks wouldn’t help yet heavy-handed Governors are mandating by law that people were masks out in public. The WHO warned countries not to follow Sweden’s approach to this pandemic as they were making a huge mistake with the lack of draconian shut-down. That it would cost them tens of thousands of lives. Now just yesterday the WHO praised Sweden for their model and effective response to this pandemic. Many will think this is just a level of ineptitude combined with “learning as we go”. My guest today suspects corruption. And she has a good reason to know.

So you’ve bought into the new biological age assessment testing movement. While you’re chronological age is 53 your biological age is 67. Yikes! Ok now you know. SO what do you do? What do you change? Should you give up red meat? How about that glass of red wine that’s supposed to be good for you? Is it really good for YOU? If we’ve learned anything over the past decade about nutrition, it’s very individual. Your microbiome is like a fingerprint. No two are alike. This means when someone says “you should eat more vegetables and fiber, fiber is good for you” they may be wrong. It may not effect you the same way it effects that well-meaning person. In fact anyone who tells you “this is the way you should eat” is automatically wrong! The game has changed. What’s good for you is what’s good for YOU. So what are you doing now that will have the greatest effect on reversing your biological age? Now there’s a way to know.
Coffee has a beneficial effect on traumatic brain injury. But it’s not simple. Pre-treating and post-treating the injured brain have different effects. As well as chronic coffee consumption post TBI. Knowing what works and what doesn’t will make a world of difference to the injured person. This research also helps those who suffer from seizures and Epilepsy.
It’s estimated that we do this mindlessly 17,000 to 30,000 times a day. And that’s just when we are at rest! Breathing. One of the functions of the autonomic nervous system, happens without much or our attention. Is it time we start paying more attention to our breathe? Stresses of modernity have a direct effect on our breathing. Disease states effect our breathing. Emotions effect out breathing. Some evidence even shows our breathing may effect certain diseases. Come along with me as we learn why and how to improve our relationship with our breathe and how that will elevate and change our lives for the better. Sometimes it’s the simplest things that have the biggest impacts. PLUS Car's suggestion that he sees a way to control future pandemics by focusing on cities that have both busy international travel hubs plus a population dependence on mass transit is put to the test by a skilled statistician. If Carl right? PLUS The winner of the $429 BFR system is named. Was it you?
The ability to measure the gut microbiome led to a surge in understanding and knowledge of its role in health and disease. The diet is a source of, fuel for, and influencer of composition of the microbiome. The microbiota utilize and produce micronutrients. The bidirectional relationship between micronutrition and the gut microbiome is emerging.
There has been a fascination with butts in the past couple of decades. I say it all started with J Lo who made big round proud asses popular around 1991. She was born with that anti-gravity-ass, but most women don’t have those genetics. It wasn’t till my guest arrived on the scene that women with pancake butts could rejoice. Hard work and focused exercises delivered an award-winning anti-gravity-ass to any woman who wanted it and was willing to put in the effort. But its not just about women or aesthetics. His techniques helped many of us build stronger squats and deadlifts! And from an anti-aging perspective, your glutes go first. And that leads to all sorts of changes in gait and stride that cause hips, knees, and ankles to get wonky. One might contend that the butt is the most important muscle group of all of them! Listen and learn how you can regain strength, size, and while you’re at it, and anti-gravity-ass of your own.
The mantra of eating 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight has served many of us in adding lean muscle. As we age we have to eat more protein to trigger the same protein synthetic response as when we were younger. We also know that digestive enzymes drop as we age. What if by taking a targeted enzyme blend specifically designed to break down and digest protein you could eat less protein and get the same muscle gains? Or eat the same amount of protein and get 3 times the growth. And what would this do for the younger lifter who’s on a budget?

We now know that you’re not a hostage of your genes. Twin model studies have proven this conclusively. But up until now actually assessing our own Epigenetics and interpreting actionable meaning of it has been mostly a mystery. That’s all about to change. The way DNA testing has given us a window into what predispositions we may have been born with, Epigenetic testing will allow us for the first time ever to interpret how our lifestyle, the things we drink, the foods we eat and our environment is interacting with effects those genes. As an example, we have been in search of the perfect human diet for decades. Epigenetic testing will now allow us to determine what YOUR perfect diet is! Those who tune in today will also be offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn their own Epigenome.
