Mindsip insights from this episode:
Choose Cystatin C test for accurate kidney health assessment in athletes
For those who exercise or supplement with creatine, a Cystatin C test is a more accurate marker of kidney health than standard tests like serum creatinine.
Limit NSAID use to protect kidney health
Overconsumption of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is a prime example of a nephrotoxin that can directly harm your kidneys over time.
Combat Progerin accumulation to protect arterial health
The accumulation of Progerin causes arterial cells to malfunction by abnormally multiplying, migrating away from their post in the artery wall, and ultimately dying.
Address Progerin accumulation to protect arterial health
The toxic protein Progerin, once thought exclusive to a rare genetic disease, can accumulate and damage arteries in anyone with declining kidney function.
Address kidney function to prevent artery cell mutation
Poor kidney function allows 'uremic toxins' to build up, which physically damage the genes of arterial cells, causing them to produce the toxic protein Progerin.
