The Surprising Role of Cortisol in Alzheimer's
Alzheimer’s disease doesn’t begin with memory loss — it begins years earlier with a slow, silent shift in your body’s stress chemistry. Long before neurons die, your brain’s hormonal balance starts to erode under constant pressure from everyday stress. The same hormones that once kept you alert and focused start working against you, wearing down your brain’s repair systems and disrupting the flow of energy your cells depend on.
Cortisol, the body’s main stress hormone, plays a central role in this process. When it stays high for too long, it drains your metabolic reserves and interferes with memory formation. Meanwhile, a second hormone called DHEA-S acts as cortisol’s natural counterbalance, helping protect neurons and stabilize brain function. Learn more: https://bit.ly/47TTGU3

A Cysteine-Rich Diet Promotes Regeneration of Your Intestinal Lining
Your gut lining is one of the most active and self-renewing tissues in your body. Every few days, millions of cells are replaced to keep your intestinal barrier strong and your digestion efficient. But that renewal process depends on more than time — it requires specific nutrients that fuel regeneration. When those nutrients are missing, your gut becomes fragile, leaving you more prone to inflammation, poor absorption, and chronic discomfort.
Cysteine, a sulfur-containing amino acid found in everyday foods like eggs, meat, and dairy, has emerged as one of the key players in this renewal process. Unlike most nutrients that simply provide energy or structure, cysteine helps your body activate its own repair mechanisms. Find more information here: https://bit.ly/4rklwR5

Type 2 Diabetes Found to Double the Risk of Sepsis
Sepsis is one of the most dangerous medical emergencies you can face. Physicians define it as a “life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection.” In the United States, more than 1.7 million people develop sepsis each year, and about 350,000 die from it, making it a leading cause of hospital deaths. Globally, it accounts for one in every five deaths, reflecting its scale as a public health crisis.
A recent study presented at the Annual Meeting of The European Association for the Study of Diabetes is now drawing renewed attention to the connection between sepsis and one of the most common chronic conditions in the country — Type 2 diabetes. With more than 38 million Americans living with diabetes, understanding how this condition may sharply increase the already staggering risk of sepsis has never been more urgent.

Obesity Causes and Solutions
Obesity is one of the most visible health crises in the world, and it’s far more than just a cosmetic concern. It’s defined as excessive body fat that raises the risk for Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, fatty liver disease, sleep apnea, and even certain cancers. Symptoms often include fatigue, shortness of breath, joint pain, and metabolic issues that worsen over time. Left untreated, obesity shortens lifespan and slashes quality of life.
Globally, an estimated 1 billion men and 1.11 billion women were classified as overweight or obese as of 2021, with over 3.8 billion adults projected to be overweight or obese by 2050.1 That makes obesity one of the central drivers of declining life expectancy. Every year, millions of people attempt weight-loss programs built on the idea that eating less and moving more is the simple solution. Yet, long-term data reveal that most regain the lost weight.

How Taking the Wrong Vitamin D Actually Lowers Your Levels
Many people assume that all vitamin D supplements work the same way, but research shows that taking the wrong form actually makes your deficiency worse. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble hormone-like nutrient required for strong bones, immune balance, hormone regulation, and cellular repair.
You make it naturally when your skin is exposed to sunlight, yet millions of people turn to supplements without realizing that not all forms of vitamin D behave the same once they enter your bloodstream. Unlike D3, which your skin makes from sunlight, vitamin D2 comes mainly from fortified foods and mushrooms exposed to ultraviolet light. Further details here: https://bit.ly/4prEuU8

Why Brittle Bones Aren't Just a Woman's Problem
Bone strength is not just a women’s issue — it’s a foundation of lifelong vitality that too many men lose sight of until it’s too late. Every year, millions of fractures occur in older adults, yet few realize that these breaks often signal a deeper problem: bones that have quietly weakened over time. The first sign is rarely pain. It’s a sudden fall, a small twist, or a minor impact that ends in a break that changes everything — mobility, confidence, and independence.
What makes this problem so concerning is how easily it hides in plain sight. Men, in particular, are rarely screened for bone loss, even though the consequences are often more severe than in women. Years of lifestyle habits — sitting too much, relying on processed food, or neglecting strength training — gradually shift your bone metabolism from rebuilding to erosion.

Calcium Supplements and Dementia - Major Study Busts Long-Held Myth
For decades, older adults have been warned that taking calcium supplements could harm their brains. Those warnings stemmed from small observational studies suggesting calcium might increase dementia risk by promoting vascular calcification or white matter lesions in the brain. Dementia, meaning a progressive decline in memory, reasoning, and behavior that interferes with daily life, affects 57 million people worldwide, according to the World Health Organization.
It’s a devastating condition that robs independence, identity, and connection — so it’s no surprise that any hint of increased risk sparks concern. Calcium, however, is not a nutrient you can simply eliminate. It’s the most abundant mineral in your body and foundational for bone density, heart rhythm, muscle contraction, and nerve signaling. You need enough of it every day, especially as you age. Continued here: https://bit.ly/44dvWrA
