Dr. Fahy’s research was the first to demonstrate the potential of biological age reversal as measured by all epigenetic clocks available in 2019. This was an extraordinarily exciting moment in science.Hear all about that journey and what he and his team are working on now. Still underappreciated (in my opinion) is the fact that his protocol regenerates the thymus gland in older individuals. The implications of this are massive.

If you’re looking to elevate your approach to inflammation and pain management, this episode is for you. Today, we dive into a fascinating conversation with registered dietitian Ashley Koff. We discuss the intricate role of specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) and their potential applications in various health conditions, from inflammation and pain management to neurodegenerative diseases and autoimmune disorders. We also explore the nuances of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and its importance in functional medicine, particularly for women in perimenopause and menopause. If you’re curious about the latest insights on using SPMs in conditions like Lyme arthritis, chronic infections, and even concussions, this episode is packed with valuable information. We’ll also touch on practical strategies for incorporating these powerful molecules into your therapeutic protocols, ensuring your patients receive the most comprehensive care possible.

Mapping the Placental Methylome: The Key to Early Autism Intervention with Dr. Janine LaSalle

Towards Predicting Autism in Utero with Dr. Janine LaSalle

This pioneer scientist mapped the human placental methylome. That is, all of the DNA methylation marks on the placenta, and has associated changes with neurodevelopmental disorders. She’s also demonstrated the influence of toxins and insufficient folate. Of the many implications inherent in her work, very exciting to me is the fact that we are moving toward in utero diagnostics using mom’s blood (ie, a standard blood draw). My hope is one day we will identify issues and address them all before baby is born!
