Leyla Weighs In: Alcohol and Cardiovascular Health

Ross Pelton, the Natural Pharmacist, discusses his new book, “RAPAMYCIN mTOR AUTOPHAGY & Treating “mTOR Syndrome.” Could a drug used to prevent organ rejection extend life? Pelton shares exciting results from early trials suggesting that Rapamycin might be a potent anti-aging therapy. Other natural nutraceuticals and lifestyle measures may act on the mTOR pathway. Modern lifestyles interfere with autophagy, the body’s natural “rest and reset” mechanism; fasting, caloric restriction, sleep, and exercise may reinvigorate autophagy, reducing the risk of many degenerative diseases, and ultimately extending life.

Sandra Lee, CEO of NJ Labs, an analytical testing service, helps us look behind the curtain at the world of quality testing for supplements and nutraceuticals. It’s a complicated process; different methods are required to detect heavy metals, pesticides, and to ascertain potency. Many companies are heavily invested in multiple layers of quality control, safeguarding consumers and ensuring they get what the label claims. Sandra is a pioneer in the new field of evaluating hemp-derived cannabinoids; there’s wide variation in the quality of the myriad CBD products that have recently flooded the marketplace. Sandra provides tips on how consumers can be reassured of the effectiveness of products they buy. She hails progress made my responsible supplement manufacturers.

Fighting inflammation and mast cell activation with food.

Leyla Weighs In: Fighting Inflammation

An exciting, versatile new supplement: Specialized Pro-Resolving Mediators (SPMs) are compounds that protect the body. Nutritionist Georgia Austin explains how they work: they are a category of compounds that are generated naturally to break the vicious cycle of chronic inflammation. They are derived from EPA and DHA, the omega 3 constituents of fish oil. But under conditions of disease, aging, stress, or nutritional compromise their conversion from EPA and DHA is hampered. Research suggests that supplementation with SPMs can help with many inflammatory disorders. Austin relates her experience applying SPM to a wide variety of conditions; it’s applicable to metabolic syndrome and diabetes, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disorders like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, respiratory conditions like asthma and COPD, inflammatory bowel disease, neurodegenerative disorders, endometriosis and even fibromyalgia. SPM may also hasten recovery from post-exercise soreness. Can it be taken for general prevention? Is it safe for kids? Are there any contraindications? How much do you need to take? Does taking them obviate the need for fish oil?
