Can Red Light Lower Your Blood Sugar?!

In this episode, we unpack a groundbreaking 2024 study from the Journal of Biophotonics showing that just 15 minutes of 670 nm red light exposure—targeting the upper back before a glucose challenge—led to a 27.7% reduction in overall post-meal blood sugar levels and up to 12% lower glucose spikes compared to placebo We explore how this light stimulates your mitochondria to make more ATP, prompting your body to burn more glucose, and possibly triggering systemic signals that help r...

When Viruses Were A Good Thing

What if part of what makes us human comes from an ancient virus? In this episode, we explore groundbreaking research revealing how retroviral DNA—once thought to be genetic junk—played a critical role in the evolution of myelin. Myelin, the protective sheath around nerve fibers, supercharged the speed of nerve signals and made complex vertebrate brains possible. Scientists have now discovered a specific genetic element, called RetroMyelin, embedded in our DNA by a virus hundreds of millions o...

Air Pollution & Heart Health: Worse Than You Thought

In this episode, we dive into a groundbreaking BMJ study of nearly 60 million U.S. Medicare beneficiaries, revealing how long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM₂.₅) increases hospital admission risks for heart diseases—even at low levels. Discover how chronic PM₂.₅ exposure raises rates of ischemic heart disease, stroke, heart failure, arrhythmia, and aneurysms, with no safe threshold, as risks emerge even from 5 μg/m³—well below many current regulatory levels Learn abou...

Olive Oil Molecule Shows Hope for Brain Cancer Treatment

Can something inspired by olive oil help fight one of the deadliest brain cancers? In this episode, we explore the groundbreaking Phase 1/2A clinical trial of 2-OHOA, a lab-made version of a natural fat molecule found in olive oil. This brain-penetrating lipid is designed to change the way cancer cell membranes work, helping to slow down or even stop tumor growth. The study involved 54 patients with advanced cancers, many of them with recurrent glioma or glioblastoma—tumors that are often res...

A Warning for ALL Gym Bros: Proteins Can Give You a Heart Attack

In this episode, we break down groundbreaking research—published in Nature Metabolism in February 2024—that uncovers how ultra-high protein diets (over 22% of your daily calories) may speed up atherosclerosis and boost heart attack risk. The key player? Leucine, an amino acid abundant in animal proteins like meat, eggs, and dairy, which turns on mTOR signaling in macrophages—accelerating arterial plaque buildup. Whether you're a science buff, a fitness enthusiast, or a “gym bro” chasing gains...
