Mindsip insights from this episode:
Discover body's natural antiviral production against infections
Researchers have discovered that the human body produces its own antiviral drugs, a new class of cytosine derivatives, as part of an ancient immune response to viral infections.
Prioritize environment and microbiome over genes for health
For most people, the environment and microbiome have far more power in determining future diseases than the human genome itself.
Recognize limits of 'Churchill genes' in tolerating poor habits
Some people possess resilient 'Churchill genes' that allow them to tolerate poor lifestyle habits like heavy drinking and smoking into old age, but this is not the case for most.
View aging as a cumulative metabolic journey
Aging can be viewed as the cumulative result of many small 'journeys' in metabolic space where, after each illness, your body never returns to the exact same biological starting point.
Recognize hidden biochemical abnormalities of occult long Covid
Even if you feel fine after having COVID, 100% of people tested show some long-term, hidden biochemical abnormalities, a phenomenon the speaker calls 'occult long Covid'.
Address tryptophan-kynurenine pathway to combat Long Covid brain fog
The tryptophan-kynurenine pathway is persistently disturbed in Long Covid, leading to brain fog and fatigue by creating neurotoxic byproducts like quinolinic acid.
Monitor ApoB to ApoA1 ratio post-COVID to assess heart disease risk
A COVID-19 infection can dramatically and persistently worsen your ApoB to ApoA1 ratio, a key biomarker that increases your long-term risk for heart attack and stroke.
