@LeilaHormozi Kindness is easy and second nature. If folks don't like you it's their issue not yours. Great chat on FB with @simonsquibb ... he's a gent 💖

Niceness is what you do to be liked. Kindness is what you do to be respected.

Do not take your good health for granted. Be selfish about your health.

Some optics neuritis pearls in a short #Medtweetorial 🧵…. We all know that optic neuritis is frequently associated with multiple sclerosis (MS). But optic nerve inflammation can exist from autoimmunity, infection, granulomatous disease, paraneoplastic disorders, & demyelination

@bryan_johnson I'd love to talk to you Bryan if at all possible re autoimmune and neurodegenerative disease. Diet absolutely is pivotal, but so is nerve regeneration with regards to MS. A long shot I know as I expect you get requests all the time like this. Our work is innovative 💡 KR, Hel

A study published yesterday in Cell Reports showed Ketogenic Diet (high in fat and low in carbs and proteins) can reverse autoimmunity in a mouse model for multiple sclerosis MS. Both the direct supplementation of Ketones (beta-hydroxybutyrate which results from feeding a ketogenic diet) or the transfer of gut bacteria from ketogenic-diet-fed mice replicated this protective effect. One type of bacteria (Lactobacillus murinus) was isolated from the gut of ketogenic diet fed mice, which reversed the brain inflammation in these mice. It did so by producing a byproduct named shortly ILA, which can inhibit the special immune cells (known as T-helper 17) responsible for driving Multiple Sclerosis.

Liver Inflammation Linked to Cognitive Decline in Aging Chronic inflammation in the liver is linked to cognitive decline as we age, with researchers uncovering a potential pathway between liver inflammation and brain health. Through a process called necroptosis, damaged liver cells release inflammatory molecules that may travel to the brain, triggering inflammation and possibly contributing to cognitive impairment. By blocking necroptosis, researchers observed reduced inflammation in both the liver and brain in preclinical studies, suggesting a new avenue to mitigate age-related cognitive decline. The study also points to macrophages and cellular senescence as contributing factors to persistent inflammation, exacerbated by aging and obesity. This research highlights the interconnected nature of liver and brain health, with potential implications for treating aging-related diseases. Developing targeted therapies for liver inflammation could help improve brain health and cognitive resilience in older adults.
