Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can leave lasting damage, disrupting cognition, mood, and neural communication for years after the initial event. While most people associate lithium with psychiatric use, emerging research suggests that it may hold powerful potential for brain recovery following injury. Both the pharmaceutical form, lithium carbonate, and the
If there’s one mineral I emphasize again and again, it’s magnesium. While it’s often discussed for muscle cramps, sleep, or heart rhythm support, fewer people realize it plays a fundamental role in preserving DNA integrity and genome stability — two crucial pieces in the longevity puzzle. In this
In the world of functional health and longevity, we often explore natural compounds, lifestyle tools, and subtle cellular nudges. But sometimes, the most exciting innovations come from re-imagining what already exists. What if drugs originally developed to kill parasites could also help fight cancer? That’s not science-fiction — it’s
When I look at the building blocks of long-term cellular health, the usual suspects always show up (mitochondria, antioxidants, autophagy, DNA repair). But one molecule increasingly catches my attention: spermidine. This naturally occurring polyamine plays a key role in autophagy, cellular renewal, and metabolic resilience — making it relevant for longevity
From energy production to DNA repair to mitochondrial integrity, few molecules influence as many foundational systems of life as Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺). As we age, NAD⁺ levels decline—creating a functional bottleneck that accelerates metabolic dysfunction, cellular wear, and reduced resilience. Enter liposomal delivery of NAD⁺ or its precursors:
Among all antioxidant supplements, few hold the same level of scientific respect as glutathione. Known as the body’s “master antioxidant,” glutathione protects cells from oxidative stress, supports liver detoxification, strengthens immune defenses, and maintains mitochondrial health. But there’s one problem: traditional glutathione supplements don’t absorb well. That’
If I had to pick one supplement that quietly supports nearly every system tied to resilience and longevity, it would be N-Acetyl-Cysteine. Known as NAC, this compound is a modified form of the amino acid cysteine—and it happens to be one of the body’s most powerful allies for
DHM isn’t your average supplement—it’s a naturally occurring flavonoid that’s gained quiet traction in the functional health community for its ability to support the liver, accelerate detoxification, and even protect the brain from alcohol’s downstream effects. It’s found in the Japanese raisin tree (Hovenia
Moringa oleifera might just be one of the most nutrient-dense plants on the planet, yet it rarely makes headlines. Often overshadowed by trendy “superfoods,” this humble tree has quietly built a reputation in both traditional medicine and modern nutrition circles. But beyond the hype, moringa carries fascinating biological potential — especially
In a world filled with microplastics, industrial pollutants, and persistent organic toxins, the body’s natural detoxification systems face constant overload. While the liver and kidneys perform most of this work, a lesser-known tool—binders—can offer vital support. Compounds like activated charcoal, bentonite clay, zeolite, and chlorella have been
Let’s be honest — the older we get, the less forgiving our bodies become after a night of drinks. What used to be a mild headache can now turn into a full-blown existential crisis by 9 a.m. The science-minded crowd, though, might have found a partial solution in a
