The glycocalyx is a very important gel-like barrier that protects the cells of your lung and blood vessels from inflammatory damage and pathogen invasion. Poor nutrition and common health issues cause this lining to shed, paving the way for infections.  ➢ Support Your Sleep with the new Ashwagandha Sleep Aid: https://bit.ly/ashwagandha-sleep-aid

Glutathione deficiency is a common feature that complicates infections. We review new research linking suboptimal glutathione levels with increased disease severity and discuss how glutathione is related to vitamin D status as well as ways to support glutathione levels from a nutrition and lifestyle standpoint.

New science suggests circadian rhythms, sleep cycles and meal times powerfully influence how you age. As boring as it sounds, being a creature of habit and minding your circadian rhythms may be among the top ways to optimize the biology of aging.

00:36 As we age our circadian rhythm becomes altered. Phenotypes of ageing: wrinkles, gray hair, decline in function, muscle mass loss, metabolic disease, high blood pressure, insulin resistance, sleeplessness and alterations in sleep/wake cycles, can be the result decreased amplitude and intensity of your circadian clock system.

01:24 Be vigilant about your sleep and wake times and meal timing. Food influences your body’s peripheral circadian clock system, which provides feedback to the central clock system.

03:13 Your circadian clock system is intimately connected with your metabolism and the rate at which you age.

03:26 Take screens out of your bedroom. Go to bed at the same time every night. Be strict.

06:52 Be consistent with your meal timing. Your body has a second meal effect and is anticipating food at your regular mealtime. Food and exercise influence your peripheral circadian clock system.

08:26 Your metabolism, nutrient sensing enzymes and receptors are improved with exercise, fasting and low carb diets. These enzymes and receptors influence the circadian clock system.

09:16 Poor sleep negatively impacts metabolic health. Improving your metabolic health works to improve imbalances in the circadian clock system, which improves sleep, which improves metabolic health. Night shift workers have higher rates of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and cancer.

10:41 The ageing phenotypes that you express at the end of your life, is connected to the health of your circadian clock system.

11:56 Take blood sugar support supplements later in the day when you are more insulin resistant.

12:31 Chrononutrition and chronopharmacology utilizes genetic and metabolomic analysis to determine timing of cancer drugs. Your immune system is more active earlier in the day.

14:51 Light exposure in the evening, not just blue light, alters the function of your circadian clock rhythm.  Match your light exposure to that of your outdoor environment.

17:40 Children are more sensitive to light exposure, especially at night. They have a greater degree of melatonin suppression when they are exposed to light. Screens at night for children accelerates their ageing, alters their metabolism, alters insulin metabolism, causes cravings of junk food, alters behavior, and impacts memory, sleep quality, and facial development.

18:51 Invest in a pair of blue light filtering glasses. Mike prefers BLUblox.

“We don’t have time to get healthy…Being fit and not having diabetes or underlying health conditions won’t help you against this ‘new’ virus,” they said. Well, it turns out many of the ideas we shared in 2020 are now true and being healthy is no longer a conspiracy, data shows.

0:01 Intro: summary of unrealistic expectations created by the media that have destroyed careers, relationships and trust in our institutions

LINK: COVID-positive nurses say they're being pressured to work while sick, and they're petrified of infecting patients

10:25 #1 Everyone’s risk of dying is the same. About 80% of COVID 19 deaths in the USA occurred in individuals over the age of 65.
13:55 #2 Nutrition and exercise have nothing to do with the virus.
17:05 #3 Use cases to gauge the trajectory of the pandemic.
19:05 #4 Mandates and restrictions are the solution. NYC, LA and Seattle are leading the nation in new cases, proving that restrictions do not work.
14:40 #5 We don’t have time to get healthy.
28:18 #6 All masks are equally effective. We know this is not the case.
30:00 #7 Media fear mongering does no harm.
33:23 #8 The indirect effects of COVID to young people are less harmful than the direct effects of COVID.
36:29 #10 The virus is going to be eradicated, just like smallpox and polio.
38:39 #11 Promoting healthy living causes vaccine hesitancy.
430:19 #12 “Natural immunity is not durable,” they said. Wrong
42:25 #13 People in the hospital are there because they have COVID.
43:50 #14 Closing fitness centers and gyms will help flatten the curve.
34:59 #15 Closing schools is a good idea. School can be an escape from abuse for some children.
46:25 #15.5 Lockdowns were necessary. The virus was spreading months before lockdowns were implemented. It was not going to be kept out. There were many unintended harms.
47:54 #16 Voter ID is racist, but a vaccine passport is equitable. Selective policies apply in one context but not others.
49:30 Public health is designed to maximize the quality adjusted life years of a population.

It seems that the cold is widely circulating this winter season.

After helping friends and coaching clients bounce back and regain their lost sense of smell, I thought you might benefit from this short science summary.

In brief, we discuss the importance of prophylactic cleansing of your nasal passages with real salt and liquid iodine.

Equally important, we explore red light therapy and zinc as tools to restore the olfactory dysfunction that seems to occur after this cold.

Last, but certainly not least there’s evidence to suggest prolonged olfactory dysfunction may signal increased risk for cognitive decline and future dementia, especially in APOE4 carriers.

Hope you find this short video and associated references helpful!

Two years into the pandemic and CNN is finally promoting weight loss as a tool that can reduce disease severity and death as it relates to the pandemic. There are consequences associated with selectively omitting science and research, especially when you ostensibly stand for providing information that can help save lives and keep people out of the hospital.

Lets dive into the details.
