Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a key cellular component in virtually all forms of life. While best known for its major role in energy metabolism, NAD is also essential in many signaling pathways. As a result, many NAD-dependent proteins involved in signaling reactions serve as metabolic sensors in the cellRead
Peptides are redefining the future of personalized medicine. As potent cellular messengers, these short chains of amino acids are integral to processes like immune regulation, tissue repair, and metabolism. From naturally occurring peptides in the body to those derived from diet and supplements, peptide therapies offer promising, targeted solutions for muscle growth, brain health, skin rejuvenation, and more. Discover how peptides are unlocking new possibilities in health optimization and becoming a cornerstone of holistic, cellular-level care.
One of the most exciting areas of medicine available today for treating both acute and chronic, degenerative conditions is Regenerative Medicine – one could suggest that it is the future of medicine available today. In this article I would like to provide an overview of the current state of RegenerativeRead
You may have heard of Bryan Johnson – a tech entrepreneur who spends $2M annually on testing and a protocol to optimize his health and slow his pace of aging. Time Article on Bryan Johnson Bryan Johnson’s Website Bryan’s name came up in a newsletter article I was reading from NickRead
The health benefits of eating more fish have been well documented, from the heart-healthy properties of omega-3-laden fatty fish to the copious benefits of a fish-rich Mediterranean diet. And now, a new study is adding even more evidence to the case for eating more fish—and this time, it’s whole fish,Read
Senescent cells, colloquially known as “zombie cells,” have emerged as pivotal players in the aging process and age-related ailments, particularly joint disorders like arthritis. These cells, once active but now in a state of growth arrest, accumulate in arthritic joints, triggering a cascade of inflammatory responses and tissue degradation. TheRead
Supplementing Glycine and N-Acetylcysteine (GlyNAC) in Older Adults Improves Glutathione Deficiency, Oxidative Stress, Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Inflammation, Physical Function, and Aging Hallmarks: A Randomized Clinical Trial. The Journals of Gerontology. 2023 Jan 26;78(1):75-89. Clinical Implications From a clinical perspective, GlyNAC could be utilized in a practice setting as a potential Read
Senescent cells, often referred to as zombie cells, are a fascinating aspect of cellular biology that plays a crucial role in the aging process and age-related diseases. Cellular senescence occurs when a cell undergoes irreversible growth arrest, ceasing to divide and carry out normal cellular functions. While this state initiallyRead
In recent years, the vagus nerve has become a topic of great interest, especially as it relates to stress, anxiety, depression, mood and sleep. Social media and popular blogs propose a slew of hacks and home remedies aimed at toning the vagus nerve. And with such product offerings as essentialRead
L-ergothioneine is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative that accumulates within cells, particularly in mitochondria. Mitochondria are cellular organelles known as the powerhouses of the cell, responsible for generating energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through oxidative phosphorylation. The accumulation of L-ergothioneine within the mitochondria is dueRead
