A year ago today, I lost my best friend. It was hard. It was terrible. I could second guess myself and guilt trip myself on what I could have done to extend his time with us, with me, but I guess it was just his time to go. This was King, and I was fortunate to have his love and

-At the end of a chromosome, there are these protective caps called telomeres and the consumption of bee products showed an increase of over 0.25kbp in just a year.

-Urolithin A is more effective than most of the supplements promoted for "anti-ageing" purposes.

-Group sports extend life expectancy and being a cardio freak (marathon maxing for no reason (run a marathon 1/year if it's for charity for example) shortens it).

-B12 supports ptp-3 and helps maintain good cognitive function in centenarians.

-Biomarker differences between centenarians and diseased populations include:
1. Metallothionein
2. Good 03:06 ratio
3. Glutathione

5. IL-6 (low)
6. TNF-a (low)
7. Uric acid (low)

-People who die by su*cide (but also have traits such as hostility(*)) tend to have modestly lower serum total/LDL cholesterol.

But lowering cholesterol with statins does not increase suicidal behavior.

So the proposed theory for this association remains that neuroinflammation changes lipid metabolism and results in these lower circulating cholesterol levels.

(*) patients with borderline personality disorder often have lower baseline fasting serum cholesterol levels compared to patients with other personality disorders.

-Eating breakfast is linked to lower suic*de rates

-A meatless diet increases the frequency of depressive episodes.

-Gingerol and shogaol in ginger enhance insulin sensitivity by increasing GLUT4 expression and inhibiting intestinal glucose absorption.

-Chromium enhances insulin receptor activity by improving the binding of insulin to its receptors and supporting glucose metabolism.

-Myo-inositol acts as a second messenger in insulin signaling pathways, improving insulin receptor function and glucose uptake.

-Fiber reduces postprandial glucose spikes.

-Fasting induces FGF21.

-93% of chronic fatigue syndrome patients had mycotoxins in their urine.

-One hour of chopping wood (with an axe) raises salivary testosterone by 48.6%.

-Two quite underrated yet effective tools when it comes to dealing with a candida overgrowth are undecylenic acid and baicalein.

-Tyrosine hydroxylase (the enzyme that converts tyrosine) can't function properly without thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) as a cofactor.

-Lactoferrin (apolactoferrin might be even more powerful) helps against Covid quite a lot and is an underatted tool for lowering VC.

-630+808nm of RLT 2x/week for 6 weeks reduced abdominal fat by 4-5 cm in all participants without diet or exercise in a study.

Hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin are also promoted that are zinc inophones in the alternative health spaces but that's not true.

-Giving 300mg of CoQ10 in fibromyalgia patients for 40 days led to 53% decrease in total symptom score.

-EGCG before doing cardio improves IR sensitivity by activating AMPK and reducing oxidative stress, promoting GLUT4 translocation.

-HIIT increases GLUT4 translocation.

-Light walking (15 minutes) after meals enhances GLUT4 translocation and glucose uptake in skeletal muscle, independent of insulin.

-Hypothyroidism impairs the activation and retention of riboflavin (and maybe iron, vitamin B12, folate, vitamin D, magnesium and copper as well).

*Thyroid hormones are necessary to regulate the enzymatic conversion of riboflavin (vitamin B2) into its active coenzyme forms: flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD).

-Each 0.5 mEq/L lower baseline serum potassium (within the normal range (3.5–5.5 mEq/L)) was associated with a roughly 45% higher incidence for type 2 diabetes in people who were not on diuretics and had normal potassium at baseline.

-This might sound weird or dumb, but lemon peels can actually help reduce cortisol.

-When you are trying to learn something new for the first time. Write it down.

Handwriting activates far more elaborate and widespread brain connectivity patterns, specifically in the theta and alpha frequency bands, compared to typing on a keyboard.

(*) Theta waves (around 3.5–7.5 Hz) are critical for working memory, processing new information, and learning.

(**) Alpha waves (around 8–12.5 Hz) are associated with focus, attention, and long-term memory formation.

-Believe it or not, the mere presence of a smartphone, even if it is turned off and out of sight in a bag or pocket, significantly reduces a person's cognitive capacity available for complex tasks.

-People with tattoos show a 29% elevated melanoma risk and a 21% lymphoma risk.

-Testosterone's anti-anxiety and analgesic effects may be due in part to actions of its 5alpha-reduced metabolites in the hippocampus.

-Our stomach pH looks like scavengers, not carnivores (the very high acidity in humans and scavengers serves the purpose of killing the high levels of bacteria and pathogens typically found in decaying meat, which was likely an important part of the early human diet during periods of scavenging).

-The fatty acid composition of membranes MIGHT be one of the determining factors of maximum life span.

-Intermittent fasting can increase the abundance of beneficial bacteria, such as members of the Lactobacillaceae, Bacteroidaceae and Prevotellaceae, but it's far preferable to skip dinner than it is to skip breakfast (unless you have sleep issues that are related to cortisol/poor glycogen storage etc).

-Levothyroxine users (T4) had a 50% higher adjusted odds ratio for cancer at any site compared with non-users.

Now, we need to note that this was an observational study and that pre-existing thyroid conditions independently alter cancer risk.

But, it makes some sense since T4 is significantly more potent than T3 at activating the pro-oncogenic signals via the αvβ3 integrin receptor (like the ERK1/2 pathway).

Using high doses of T3 can have its own problems (especially if you use it for no real reason), but it does not seem to impact cancer risk nearly as much.

-Zinc supplementation increased the rate of wound healing by 3X in healthy young people and supplementation in a group of people aged 55-87 resulted in about 2/3 fewer infections than placebo.

-People with serum magnesium above the median had 42% lower risk of sudden cardiac death and correcting magnesium deficiency may prevent atherosclerosis.

-Subclinical atherosclerosis is linked to small intestinal bacterial overgrowth via vitamin K2-dependent mechanisms.

-SIBO-positive patients have a significantly higher prevalence of dyslipidemia (54% vs 29% in SIBO-negative) and metabolic syndrome.

-Taurine supplementation improves several cardiometabolic risk factors.

-Oral supplementation with L. reuteri (NCIMB 30242) increases vitamin D levels, reduces LDL-C by 11.64% and apoB-100 by 8.41% relative to placebo.

-Excess aldosterone can contribute to androgenetic alopecia.

-Urolithin A enhances vitamin D receptor signaling

-Melatonin and vitamin E seem quite effective for atopic dermatitis

-A high dietary intake of vitamin C (≥ 75 mg/d) was found to have a statistically significant impact on reducing the risk of AD.

-The brain consumes about 20% of the body's oxygen despite comprising only 2% of body weight, leading to high production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during energy metabolism.

BUT, antioxidant supplements often fail in trials and supporting the Nrf2 pathway seems to be preferable.

-Decreased lipoprotein (a) and serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels in male patients with atherosclerosis after supplementation with ginger.
