Brand-new research (PMID: 42102814) has uncovered a bizarre link between a compound found in aged garlic and longevity. 🧄 It's called: S1PC. Remarkably, it causes fat cells to release tiny vesicles carrying an enzyme that travels to the brain, boosting levels of the energy molecule NAD in just minutes....

Dr. Daniel Monti just revealed a potentially massive breakthrough in Parkinson’s disease treatment. And it’s much simpler than you think. He just published his third study on a molecule called N-acetylcysteine, or “NAC for short.” “This is a powerful antioxidant.” “It actually protects the liver.” “We know that it does a lot of different things, but the important thing for us is that it’s a precursor to something called glutathione.” “Glutathione protects the brain when there’s damage or oxidative stress and we lose it as we age.” “And when we get sick, we lose it even more.” “So we want to have a way to efficiently increase glutathione in the brain, particularly when we have a neurodegenerative disorder such as Parkinson’s disease.” “We hypothesized early on that giving infused N-acetylcysteine would increase glutathione and actually have a positive impact on Parkinson’s disease.” “We’ve published three studies on this and we look at brain scans in all of them.” “And what we’ve seen is that the N-acetylcysteine increases the efficiency of dopamine in the brain, which is the neurotransmitter or chemical that gets lost in Parkinson’s disease and causes all of those symptoms.” “Our most recent study shows that it improves the way the brain connects to itself or talks to itself the functional connectivity in the brain.” “To be in the study, you couldn’t have changes in your Parkinson's medications for a period of time.” “In both the control group and in the NAC group, people were on their Parkinson’s medications, but if they got the NAC, they did better.” “Their brain came alive in a way that wasn’t happening before.”

Saunas Can Reduce Food Intake?! – New Insights from Nature 🔥🧠 (2 min science breakdown clip) It’s been observed that heat exposure reduces food intake both in humans and animals, leading some to suggest heat stress may be a weight management tool. And new science is beginning to unpack how heat may suppress appetite. Get ready for a steam burst of jargon, then I’ll simplify: A 2024 paper published in nature (PMID: 38538787) found that heat 🔥activates specialized cells that line the fluid-filled spaces in the brain called, “tanycytes.” 🎯These tanycytes are optimally placed to communicate external signals to regions of the brain, in particular the hypothalamus, that control things like metabolism and food intake. 🔥This study found that heat stress in a mouse model at 40°C for 1 hour increased activity in a temperature sensing brain region, the “pontine parabrachial nucleus (PBN)” 👉which signals to tanycytes and causes them to 👉produce a brain chemical VEGFA, which in turn 👉 signals to the hypothalamus to change the activity of dopamine and AGRP neurons and leads to reduce food intake. (Please see clip for a visual explanation) 🚨High-Level Takeaway: The researchers discovered a causal mechanism for the effects of heat on reducing food intake, and aligns with data in humans that heat can reduce food intake. More details about sauna in today’s #StayCurious Newsletter (linked in first reply), including discussion of heart health, brain health, longevity, and with a healthy shoutout to Dr. Rhonda Patrick (who I suspect might be interested in this Tanycytes Mechanism, if it's not already on her radar) Some folks interesting in Sauna and/or Neuroscience Mechanisms: Dan Go Gary Brecka Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. (Wonder what will be in #Protocols: An Operating Manual for the Human Body on Saunas?📖🐰🕳️?)
