Snippets

Some snippets I gleaned from listening to a couple of podcasts from doctors…

Foundational Medicine seeks to address the root cause of health issues. If you are experiencing health issues for which your GP is merely prescribing drugs to mask the symptoms, I recommend you search for a Foundational Medicine practitioner in your area.

Cold plunges actually change your cells

Ice Water Dip

Ever wondered what happens to your body when you take those trendy ice baths? Scientists at the University of Ottawa just found out, and it’s pretty fascinating.

Cold water immersion for seven days significantly improves cellular resilience and autophagic function, helping cells manage stress better. This adaptation could enhance health and longevity, potentially preventing diseases and slowing aging at a cellular level.

People who received a flu shot this winter were MORE likely to get the flu

Flu Stats By Vax Status

This research is only the latest to suggest that flu shots simply do not work — and that any observational studies that seem to show their effectiveness are fatally flawed by what researchers called healthy vaccinee bias. (People who are vaccinated are historically healthier, more health-conscious, and more fearful of contagious illness and thus more likely to avoid situations where they might become infected than those who are not.)

Nationwide data is equally troubling.

As I reported in 2022, the number of flu shots has risen almost 15-fold in the United States since 1980, yet flu deaths have only increased. The Centers for Disease Control now says this year’s flu season might have been the deadliest in decades, with up to 130,000 deaths.

The media has been loathe to report that ugly number, since doing so might raise questions about both the effectiveness of flu jabs and whether Covid mRNA shots may have somehow damaged the immune systems of people who received them. At best, though, that figure suggests nothing we’re doing about the flu is working.

One serving of greens daily slows brain aging by over a decade

Salad Bowl

Is memory loss and decreased brain power inevitable as we age? Many people in their 40s, 50s and beyond are told that it is and there is nothing that can be done about it. Is that true? Of course not. Steps can be taken to not only stop memory loss, but also reverse it. Here is a simple step. New research from Rush University Medical Center in Chicago found that eating just one serving of leafy green vegetables a day takes a decade off an aging brain. Two servings produced even greater effects. I explain how below.

There is considerable evidence that diets that are high in green leafy vegetables; highly-colored vegetables such as carrots, yams, and squash; and flavonoid-rich fruits like citrus, berries, and cherries are associated with prevention of age-related memory decline and Alzheimer’s disease. In particular, two large studies have shown that the consumption of green leafy vegetables, including spinach, kale, collards, and lettuce, had the strongest association with slowing down cognitive decline due to aging.

The hidden link between vitamins and hair loss

Woman and Lost Hair  In Hand

When hair thins or falls out more than normal, it’s often a signal that you’re low on some key nutrients. Nutrients like vitamins D, B12 and A, and iron, keep your hair looking full and healthy. If you don’t get enough, your locks could suffer as a result.

  • Vitamin deficiencies often cause hair loss, with nutrients like vitamins D, B12, A and iron playing key roles in maintaining healthy hair growth cycles
  • Vitamin D supports hair follicle development, while B vitamins help produce keratin — the protein that forms hair structure
  • Iron carries oxygen to hair follicles; deficiency causes poor growth, but too much is also harmful, with ideal serum ferritin levels being 20 to 40 ng/mL
  • Vitamin A regulates scalp health through sebum production; both deficiency and excess cause hair problems like dryness or thinning
  • A nutrient-rich whole foods diet is the best approach to addressing vitamin-related hair loss, with supplement used only when necessary after proper testing

Slim down without exercise? The NEAT effect explained

Grip Ball

  • Fidgeting and everyday movements contribute to non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT), which is the energy your body uses for activities other than formal exercise, sleeping and eating; it helps maintain a healthy weight
  • These small movements aren’t just nervous habits but your body’s natural response to being sedentary for too long
  • Fidgeting improves focus and cognitive performance, making it especially beneficial for people with ADHD or attention challenges
  • Research shows fidgeting while sitting burns up to 30% more calories than staying completely still, contributing to better metabolic health
  • Simple workplace adjustments like standing desks, walking during calls or using fidget toys significantly increase your daily NEAT

Picture this: you’re stuck at your desk, your leg bouncing under the table, or you’re clicking your pen during a long phone call. You might think it’s just a nervous habit, but what if those wiggles are secretly boosting your health? Fidgeting — those little movements you can’t seem to stop — along with everyday actions like standing or pacing, do wonders for you.

These actions fall under a concept called non-exercise activity thermogenesis, or NEAT. In simple terms, NEAT is all the energy your body burns from anything other than sleeping, eating or intentional exercise. These small moves burn calories, lift your mood and even sharpen your focus.

(Tom: I think the author of this article, and the authors of the cited studies, are missing a major reason that people fidget when reading or listening, they are  unconsciously struggling to resist the effects of having read or heard a word for which they do not have the appropriate definition.)

How Big Fluoride Tries to Prevent Towns From Removing Fluoride

Washburn North Dakota Fluoridation

Washburn, North Dakota’s town commissioners voted Monday night to stop fluoridating the town’s water supply. But in the months leading up to what the commissioners thought would be a small-town, local debate, the commissioners uncovered a federally funded, coordinated lobbying scheme by state actors and a national fluoride lobby group to crush efforts by small towns like theirs to stop fluoridating their water supplies.
