“Clinical guidelines have progressively lowered the recommended LDL-C target for high-risk CVD patients to below 70 mg/dL, but scientific support for this target is arguably questionable.” A review published recently in the Journal of Clinical Medicine adds to research questioning the relationship between LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Previous blogs and Research Forums have highlighted numerousRead
The link between mitochondrial fitness and women’s health—and how to craft a strategic, science-backed protocol to protect your patients across all ages and life stages. Women have specific and distinct health needs that differ, often dramatically, from those of men—and their needs change significantly across various ages and life stages.Read
It happens more often than I would expect in clinical practice: a patient is faithfully taking their vitamin D, yet still not achieving the individual vitamin D levels set for their health goals. In reality, vitamin D sufficiency isn’t always so easy to reach. The reason why our patients oftenRead
Creatine’s role in fitness and muscle health is well-supported, and studies show numerous other health benefits, including improved cognition. Creatine is a compound from amino acids that supplies energy to the brain, muscles, and other organs. Dysfunction in the creatine system may contribute to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) development.
A new pilot trial highlights how probiotic and herbal supplementation may strengthen the Gut–Lung Axis, improve lung function, boost short-chain fatty acids, and enhance quality of life in adults with and without asthma.
Emerging research highlights the Gut–Lung Axis as a critical pathway in regulating both respiratory and systemic immunity. This bidirectional communication is mediated through microbial metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), mucosal immune signaling, and inflammatory cascades. When the gut microbiome becomes imbalanced (dysbiosis), the result is reduced SCFA production,Read
