One of the cheapest cold-prevention interventions I’ve seen:

Gargling with plain water 3x/day reduced upper respiratory infections by ~36% in a randomized trial.

Today on TSEE, we're sharing a list of 10 cool things about mitochondria. Truly amazing organelles!

From their many functions and behaviors to their potential as targets for enhancing health and treating diseases, we keep discovering new features of mitochondria that reveal how much more they are than powerhouses.

What is this list missing? What are your favorite mitochondrial facts and features?

Given rising interest in the rapidly strengthening El Niño event in the tropical Pacific Ocean, I've created a one-page fact sheet succinctly describing what El Niño is, this year's (remarkable) forecast, and potential impacts from California to global scales. [Thread]

Congratulations @niroshajmurugan and everyone else whose work was covered - a really important field! It deserves much more focus.

Most chronic tendon pain is not "tendinitis." True inflammation is actually rare in these cases. What we usually find is tendinopathy, a failed adaptation, disorganized collagen, and a tendon that has not kept up with what you are asking of it. The treatment for the two is different.

Discovery of a 14-protein biomarker that predicts lung cancer 5.6 years before it is diagnosed, even in non-smokers, and an anti-inflammatory medicine that prevents its progression. And, challenging dogma, the proteins are not coming from cancerous cells!

What if we could predict cancer 5+ years ahead and prevent it? A new landmark study shows the way

Much Ado About Zone 2 https://t.co/FEguHuVt7b

Influencers can’t get enough of Zone 2 training. So why did @gibalam publish a research paper challenging Zone 2 for the general public? In this episode, we go through a critical examination of Zone 2.

Today on The Science and Experience of Energy, @niroshajmurugan and I share how sunlight and other kinds of energy don't only have effects on the surface of our skin.

Certain wavelengths of light can travel into our bodies and potentially have meaningful effects on our mitochondria, our cells, and ultimately our health. Light affects our biology, and the best hypothesis about what the "receptor" through which light energy is converted into useful biology, is that mitochondria are the receptors.

These data further emphasize that mitochondria aren't just the cell's powerhouses. They are dynamic, energy-sensitive processors with wide-ranging effects on our biology.

The ramp up of cancer immunotherapy is remarkable. Now we're seeing vaccines achieve some cures or remissions in the most refractory cancers: pancreatic, melanoma, glioblastoma, renal, triple-negative breast cancer.

Exercise does far more than build strength or endurance—it activates molecular pathways that help regenerate muscle, heart, and brain tissue.
Understanding these signals could pave the way for “exercise mimetics” that bring regenerative benefits to those unable to exercise. 🧬🏃 #Exercise #RegenerativeMedicine #HealthyAging @WuTsaiAlliance

You are not insane.
It's just the damn histamine.

Histamine intolerance and/or MCAS are criminally underdiscussed when it comes to mental health.

Yet your anxiety, racing thoughts, insomnia, irritability, impulsivity and so on, are often nothing more than a little extra histamine and we have proof for this.

That's also the common link between allergies, certain types of hair loss, skin issues such as psoriasis, ADHD, insomnia and anxiety.

Here's what you need to know.

The Frozen Shoulder... a thread.
A frozen shoulder is one of the most misunderstood conditions in orthopedics. It is not purely a mechanical problem. It is a metabolic one. The shoulder capsule becomes a target of systemic inflammation, hormonal disruption, and glycemic dysfunction. Most people, and some surgeons, still treat it as if something is stuck and just needs to be loosened... Properly managing this and the contributors is essential to resolving it.
