🤧 The flu isn’t spreading randomly. It’s finding 🤧 The flu isn’t spreading randomly. It’s finding immune systems that are already under strain. Viruses exploit vulnerability. Poor sleep, chronic stress, nutrient gaps, metabolic inflammation, and gut imbalance all weaken immune defense and make infections easier to establish. From a functional medicine perspective, flu severity is less about exposure and more about terrain. When immune systems are supported, resilience improves. #FunctionalMedicine #ImmuneHealth #FluSeason #SystemsBiology #RootCauseMedicine #LongevityMedicine #Inflammation #GutHealth
For most of my medical training and clinical caree For most of my medical training and clinical career, omega-3s were never controversial in atrial fibrillation. In naturopathic medical school, we were taught that higher intake and higher circulating omega-3s were protective. It was foundational. And in nearly 20 years of practice, I’ve never seen omega-3 fatty acids cause atrial fibrillation. The confusion came later, with large pharmaceutical trials using isolated, high-dose omega-3 compounds in older, higher-risk, polypharmacy populations. In that very specific context, a small AF signal appeared. Real, but small. That’s why I’ve always emphasized source and context: food-based omega-3s, clean fish, and oils closer to their natural form (like cod liver oil), especially in higher-risk patients. Now this new UK Biobank paper adds important clarity. In a large, real-world population, higher circulating omega-3 levels were associated with a lower risk of atrial fibrillation, not higher. Which is exactly what we’d expect from food-based omega-3 biology. https://doi.org/10.1161/JAHA.125.0430 #Omega3 #AtrialFibrillation #CardiometabolicHealth #ClinicalResearch UK Biobank–based research supported by public funding; no industry sponsorship or commercial conflicts reported.
Menopause is usually framed as an estrogen problem Menopause is usually framed as an estrogen problem. But that framing is too small. What’s really changing is how hormonal signals move through the body; how they shape gene expression, immune tone, gut signaling, and even pain sensitivity. A new paper in Science describes an estrogen-dependent pathway in the gut that alters visceral pain signaling by changing how enteroendocrine cells communicate with sensory neurons. Serotonin, immune signals, and the gut–brain axis are all involved. This work was done in mice, so it’s not a clinical roadmap. But that doesn’t make it irrelevant. Animal models often show us how systems behave before we can see those patterns clearly in humans. And that matters during menopause, when people notice changes that don’t fit neatly into a single lab value: new GI symptoms, altered pain perception, shifts in inflammation, changes in how the body responds to stress. Those experiences aren’t imaginary. They’re often signals of systems recalibrating. Menopause isn’t just about less estrogen. It’s about a different signaling environment and the downstream effects of that shift. That’s where the real questions begin. DOI: 10.1126/science.aed4888 #Menopause #HormoneHealth #GutBrainAxis #Neuroendocrinology This study was supported in part by grants from the NIH and the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia, and the authors report no private industry funding or conflicts of interest
A new randomized controlled trial from @drdalebred A new randomized controlled trial from @drdalebredesen, and an exceptional multidisciplinary team, including Kat Toups, Nate Bergman, David Haase, Hans Frykman, and Varun Dwaraka, explores what happens when Alzheimer’s disease is treated as a systems problem rather than a single-pathway disease. Instead of testing a single drug or intervention, participants with mild cognitive impairment or early Alzheimer’s disease were evaluated across a wide range of contributors to cognitive decline: inflammation, insulin resistance, vascular health, immune dysfunction, nutrient status, sleep-related hypoxemia, toxins, hormones, infections, and more. Treatment was then personalized to address each individual’s specific drivers. Compared with the standard-of-care group, the precision medicine group showed statistically significant improvements in global cognition, memory, executive function, processing speed, and symptom severity. Notably, the authors report cognitive improvement, not just slowed decline, alongside gains in overall metabolic and cardiovascular health. The reported effect sizes are striking, particularly when compared with recent monoclonal antibody trials, and these benefits were achieved without adverse effects like brain edema or microhemorrhage. The signal here aligns with what many of us in functional and precision medicine have long believed: Alzheimer’s is not one disease, and it is unlikely to respond to one-size-fits-all solutions. Congratulations to Dale Bredesen and the entire research team, many of whom are long-time colleagues and friends, for advancing this work with rigor and ambition. I’ll be watching closely as this moves through peer review. #AlzheimersResearch #PrecisionMedicine #FunctionalMedicine #Neurodegeneration #BrainHealth #CognitiveHealth #SystemsBiology #ClinicalResearch #TranslationalMedicine #LongevityMedicine #EvidenceBasedMedicine https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202512.2694.v1 This study is a preprint and has not yet undergone peer review; findings should be interpreted with appropriate scientific caution.
Functional medicine has outgrown legacy EHRs. If Functional medicine has outgrown legacy EHRs. If your day is still dominated by charting, manual lab interpretation, and workarounds that don’t reflect how you actually think as a clinician, this session is for you. In this upcoming webinar, I’m joined by Sunita Mohanty, CEO of @VibrantPractice, to walk through what an AI-native EHR built specifically for functional, integrative, and longevity medicine finally makes possible. Thursday, January 22 3:00 pm ET We’ll show you: • How complex labs can be interpreted faster and more clearly • How clinicians are cutting charting time without losing clinical depth • How timelines, matrices, and care plans can be built in minutes, not hours • What early adopters of AI-enabled EHRs are already experiencing in practice You’ll also see a live demo of Vibrant Practice and how it supports the way functional medicine is actually practiced, not forced into a conventional model. 2026 is the year the tools finally catch up to the medicine. 👉 Comment EHR 2026 and we’ll DM you the link or register at https://www.drkarafitzgerald.com/2025/12/22/vibrant-practice-ehr-webinar/
