You know that old practice of drinking a glass of warm milk before bed to help your sleep? Turns out there is scientific validity in it. There are one or more proteins in milk that do reduce the time it takes to fall asleep and increase sleep length.
Saw a long-form story/ad on facebook about a milk protein that helps you sleep better.
It had data and claims in it that I suspected were either exaggerated or false so ran it past ChatGPT. There was an element of truth in the ad amongst a lot of partial truths and incorrect data.

Your NAD is being drained by two hidden enzymes, your gut may be the starting point of every aging process in your body, and creatine does something to your mitochondria that has nothing to do with muscle. This episode rewrites what you thought you knew about longevity, anti-aging biology, and how your body actually produces and delivers energy at the cellular level.
Host Dave Asprey sits down with Professor Andrew Salzman, MD / Chief Medical Officer at Wonderfeel, a physician, inventor, and biomedical entrepreneur with more than 30 years of experience in drug discovery and development. An alumnus of Harvard Medical School, Yale University, and Columbia University, Dr. Salzman has authored more than 170 scientific publications and holds 50 patents.
He invented the original clinical-stage PARP-1 inhibitor, leading to the world’s first clinical treatment for raising NAD levels and fighting cancers caused by the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. Genentech licensed his breakthrough technology for $600 million. His research into gastrointestinal microbiota, autoimmune disease, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial ATP production now forms the foundation of how millions of patients get treated worldwide.
At the 23 minute mark the professor goes into a great explanation of the gut lining and how key it is to maintaining health.
One gem, not exercising for 20-30 minutes after eating allows for better digestion. Go for your walk after that.

Low cholesterol? That’s where the trouble starts. When levels drop below 160 mg/dL, you’re looking at adrenal insufficiency, hormone imbalances, and — this is the big one — increased cancer risk.

Did they say ANYTHING that was true?
The claim is specific: material identified as “mRNA” is injected, and human cells allegedly produce a defined “spike” protein.
This article does not claim that nothing happens after vaccination, nor that the vial contains nothing dangerous.
Biological changes, immune responses, symptoms, adverse events, and death have been reported after vaccination.
And the contents of the vial raise many serious safety questions.
The narrower question is whether the specific molecular identities claimed for the injected material and the alleged translation product have been directly established.
I found no published experiment that demonstrates either of the following:
Which raises questions:

Several years ago a naturapath suggested my late wife get some bioidentical hormone creams. The supplier is not making some booklets available that may help women suffering hormone loss. Thought I’d share the link with you. Feel free to pass it on.
“Hormone decline is inevitable and the physical, emotional and mental effects of that decline can be horrible. Did you know there are actually 115 symptoms of hormone decline? You’re probably having some of th em and have no idea they’re hormone related.
I’ve been consulting women on how to balance their hormones for 25 years. To help with that, I’ve written 6 booklets that tell the TRUTH about Hormone Replacement Therapy and how you can replace your hormones all by yourself. Fill in your contact info below to receive the first of those 6 FREE booklets.”

I saw an ad for a prostate remedy, checked the web site and ran it past ChatGPT. After a bit of to and fro the summary of what helps was:
So if we are looking for a “prostate supplement” hierarchy…
I wouldn’t rank them, because the evidence isn’t sufficiently comparable to justify saying one is the best. But I’d divide them like this:
Most worth investigating further
Beta-sitosterol
Pygeum africanum
Standardised pumpkin-seed extract
Interesting but evidence presently weaker
Crinum latifolium
Lycopene
Other multi-herb formulations
Evidence generally disappointing
Ordinary saw palmetto
And I’d add one very important caveat: none of these should be presented as preventing prostate cancer or as a substitute for investigation of persistent urinary symptoms. The research above is predominantly about BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) and LUTS (lower urinary tract symptoms).
Populations with historically low prostate-cancer incidence tend to have dietary patterns based more heavily on plant foods, pulses and traditional staples, with relatively less meat and highly processed food. Some also consume substantial fish or soy, but neither appears necessary to produce a low-incidence population.
And there’s a second, equally important conclusion:
The enormous differences in recorded prostate-cancer incidence between countries cannot be explained by diet alone. Screening, diagnosis, age, genetics, healthcare access and body composition are major confounders.

For a lot of people, aging doesn’t happen at a steady pace — it stays gradual for years, then noticeably speeds up during a specific window later in life. In this video, we break down what’s actually happening inside your cells during that shift, from cellular senescence to mitochondrial decline, and the 5 research-backed habits genuinely associated with slower biological aging.
What you’ll learn:
• The difference between your chronological age and your biological age
• The 4 biological processes that compound during this window
• Why “inflammaging” happens and what drives it
• 5 lifestyle factors linked to measurably slower biological aging
• What’s actually worth bringing to your doctor
