Large observational cohorts, Mendelian-randomization genetics, and post-hoc analyses of phase‑3 trials link low 25(OH)D to higher MS risk and MRI activity. This practical, nontechnical summary for naturopathic and holistic clinicians reviews evidence, sensible target ranges, safe dosing approaches, monitoring, and how to integrate vitamin D into prevention and supportive care.
This review gives practitioners a practical roadmap to recognize B‑vitamin insufficiency, interpret labs, and choose evidence‑based repletion regimens.
A quick dive into PubMed yields numerous human studies on resveratrol in the past year alone. These recent studies show benefits for patients with osteoarthritis, cardiometabolic disease, Alzheimer’s disease, COVID-19, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and periodontal disease. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions make resveratrol a good consideration for patients’ baseline health regimens.
Research published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry reveals vitamin C’s powerful role in mental health beyond basic nutrition. This comprehensive review demonstrates how ascorbic acid modulates stress physiology, supports neurotransmitter function, and may help reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Learn how this essential vitamin concentrates in brain tissue to regulate mood-controlling pathways and discover evidence-based approaches for incorporating vitamin C into mental health treatment plans.
Abstract Recent research identifies a potential role for low-dose lithium orotate (LO) as a neuroprotective trace element in Alzheimer’s disease models. A 2025 Nature study demonstrated that brain lithium deficiency correlated with Alzheimer-like changes, while low-dose LO reversed pathology and improved memory in mice. Emerging human data support cognitive stabilizationRead
Introduction: Today’s Patients, Tomorrow’s Solutions In modern practice, single-issue patient visits are increasingly rare. Instead, many present with overlapping concerns such as subtle metabolic dysregulation, cognitive fatigue, and early signs of cardiovascular decline. These patterns, while often subclinical, create cumulative stress on the body’s regulatory systems. Addressing these interconnected challengesRead
Chronic health consequences associated with hypomethylation include cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disease, diabetes, neurodegenerative disease, psychological disorders, and cancer.8,9 DNA methylation results in gene regulation by switching genes on and off and is the most well-studied epigenetic mechanism.10 Epigenetics relates to how environmental influences affect gene expression. This is exciting because we can optimize genetic expression and slow biological aging.
The results of a 12-week randomized and double-blind clinical trial, which reported on the effects of resistance exercise in combination with hydrolyzed collagen on tendon health, were recently published in the European Journal of Sport Science. All participants in this small study (only 24 middle-aged recreationally active men) had 2 sessions of high-intensityRead
Results of a study recently published in the European Journal of Nutrition suggest that low levels of magnesium may increase the susceptibility of DNA to damage, and that elevated homocysteine levels specifically may cause more DNA damage among people with low levels. One hundred seventy-two healthy volunteers (aged 35-65) living in Australia had plasmaRead
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.
