The ketogenic diet as a treatment for mental health conditions is getting even more attention from researchers, clinicians, and mainstream media!

As a medical school professor, I can tell you: we knew exercise slows aging, but we never understood the mechanism. Until now. A new PNAS study reveals the answer: mitochondrial remodeling. When researchers blocked the mitochondrial remodeling process in mice, the anti-aging benefits of exercise vanished completely. The mice still ran, but without mitochondrial adaptation, nothing improved. Here is what matters: -- Frail adults (average age 78) completed a 12-week exercise program -- Muscle biopsies showed the same mitochondrial remodeling seen in mice -- Participants showed measurable reductions in frailty -- Your mitochondria retain this plasticity even into your 80s This is not about burning calories. This is about metabolic renewal at the cellular level. As I write in "Lies I Taught in Medical School," we underestimated how much control we have over our own biology.

Chronically elevated blood glucose ages your heart faster Excess glucose in your bloodstream reacts with collagen in arteries and heart tissue, forming harmful compounds called Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) These AGEs stiffen your myocardium and vascular system, raising blood pressure and accelerating cardiovascular decline Keeping HbA1c below 5.5% (ideally under 5%) and staying physically active help pull glucose into muscle, protecting your heart from glycation-driven damage

Dogs may be more than man's best friend. They could help scientists unlock treatments for age-related diseases. Researchers studying how dogs age hope their discoveries could lead to longer, healthier lives for both dogs and humans. 60 Minutes, Sunday.

You owe it to your family to be in the best health possible and physically independent as you get older. It's selfish to spend decades trashing your body with junk food, alcohol, drugs, tobacco, collect diseases along the way, then burden your kids or family to take care of you.

If you’re choosing fruits for health, prioritize these: 1. Berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries) = Packed with polyphenols that support brain health, insulin sensitivity, and lower inflammation. 2. Avocado = Technically a fruit. High in monounsaturated fats and potassium… great for blood sugar stability. 3. Pomegranate = Loaded with punicalagins and antioxidants that support vascular health and nitric oxide production. 4. Kiwi = One of the most nutrient-dense fruits per calorie. High in vitamin C, fiber, and digestive enzymes. 5. Apples (with the skin) = Rich in pectin fiber that feeds the gut microbiome and helps regulate blood sugar.

Naltrexone blocks opioid receptors, and at standard doses (50–100 mg), reduces addiction cravings. But at very low doses, around 1 to 4.5 mg a day, what I would call microdosing, it behaves like a completely different drug, modulating your immune system, turning it down, not off.

Creatine: The Longevity Supplement Hiding in Plain Sight For decades, I dismissed creatine as a "gym bro" supplement. Bodybuilders. Pre-workout shakes. Bigger biceps. Not relevant to a physician focused on metabolic health and longevity. I was wrong. robertlufkinmd.substack.com/p/creatine-the…

Replacing artificial office light with natural daylight improves glucose and fat metabolism. Adults who were exposed to natural daylight during office hours (by sitting near a window) spent 8% more time in a normal glucose range than when they were exposed to artificial, static "office lighting" during the day, even when average daily glucose levels weren't different. Natural light also shifted metabolism toward greater daytime fat oxidation (less reliance on carbs), especially around lunchtime. And in muscle, it reset skeletal muscle clock genes, which are key regulators of metabolic function, shifting their peak activity nearly an hour earlier. All of this occurred without any change in diet, meal timing, physical activity, or sleep. Adjusting just one environmental factor, daytime lighting, measurably altered glucose regulation and daytime fuel metabolism within a week, underscoring the profound impact aligning our circadian rhythm has on metabolism.

New research on creatine and brain health is turning heads. By increasing brain creatine levels, creatine may help protect the brain against metabolic stress. The catch? Brain benefits likely require more than 5 grams per day. tandfonline.com/doi/figure/10.…
