Food provides molecular instructions to your cells that has the power to alter genetic expression..
What instructions are you giving your genes?

If we're all unique genetically, our diseases & symptoms manifest uniquely, our response to medication is unique, it makes sense our bodies response to diet interventions would also be unique.

Although humans claim we're the most intelligent lifeform, we are the only animals who seek incompatible food sources willingly, and create them.

Before you get sucked into the next wellness product, supplement or trend, ask yourself, is this goal possible to attain by removing something from my current life, or obtaining it via the natural world for free?

When we come to realize our thoughts arise within consciousness we begin to detach from the belief that they define who we are.

They are no different from sights we see, sounds we hear, sensations we feel, or scents we notice-they simply appear & pass.

These costs aren't only bared by the individual but often by their loved ones too.

Here's a wild suggestion; 👇👇tis the difference between 'looking' to do good, and actually 'doing' good.

You don’t have to keep striving or thinking about health all the time. Instead, you can join a singing group, ride a horse, go on a walking holiday, volunteer, study something new—or do whatever gives life meaning.

✨ Health is for living. Not the other way around.

In this digital age of tech becoming ever more intertwined with our lives, it's a worthwhile task learning how to control it, so it doesn't control us.

Women are four times more likely to develop autoimmune diseases, linked to having two X chromosomes.

These findings will enable better screening and earlier detection of autoimmune risk in women.

Background
1/ Autoimmune diseases affect up to 50 million Americans, 4 out of each 5 people with an autoimmune disease are women.

2/ Women have 2 X chromosomes, one is randomly silenced for maintaining the right “dosage” of X-chromosome gene expression, this is called X-chromosome inactivation.

3/ X-chromosome inactivation relies on a long non-coding RNA called Xist lncRNA.

4/ Xist lncRNA is expressed only in females (males have only one X chromosome, which is active)

5/ Xist lncRNA forms a complex with up to 81 proteins, called Xist Ribonucleoproteins (Xist RNP).

Findings
5/ A 2024 study in mice found that Xist RNP expression in male mice increased their susceptibility to autoimmunity on pars with female levels, including autoimmune multi-organ failure and induced lupus.

6/ It was also found that the reaction to Xist RNP across the body reprogrammed immune T and B cell populations in females, similar reprogramming was seen in transgenic male mice expressing Xist RNP.

7/ Autoantibodies against Xist RNP were also identified in female autoimmunity patients, showing that a similar Xist RNP mechanism underlies female susceptibility to autoimmunity in humans as well.

8/ This is in line with earlier findings showing that T cells in female systemic lupus patients had dysregulated Xist RNP expression.

Significance
9/ The results highlight a new path for diagnosing autoimmune diseases and identifying females at increased risk of developing autoimmunity based on the presence of anti-Xist RNPs autoantibodies.

This type of antibodies has been neglected largely because a male-derived reference cell line has been in use for decades to screen for antibodies in autoimmune disorders

A crash course in medical terminology.

One of the most valuable tools a patient & their loved ones can have is the ability to understand basic medical jargon.
