Explore the emerging science of trained immunity and how purified yeast beta-glucans functionally reprogram innate immune cells and microglia. Learn how these immunomodulators influence cellular memory, central nervous system health, and overall immune resilience without triggering systemic inflammation.
Could a tick bite trigger chronic inflammatory bowel disease? Explore the emerging research connecting Lyme disease, tick-borne relapsing fever, and Crohn’s disease, along with practical steps to support gut terrain. Discover how root-cause functional medicine addresses infection-driven gut inflammation.
For nearly two decades, the medical benefits of molecular hydrogen have been shrouded in mystery, with many researchers relying on a flawed “selective antioxidant” hypothesis. A groundbreaking 2025 discovery identifying the Rieske iron-sulfur protein in mitochondrial Complex III as a key target finally explains how hydrogen actually works: it acts as a mitochondrial signaling molecule and a hormetic stressor. This article unpacks the new science, clarifies the limitations of the current clinical evidence, and cuts through the marketing hype surrounding hydrogen therapies.
Dr. Jill Carnahan distills over a decade of clinical experience into 13 essential pearls for treating mold and mycotoxin illness. This guide emphasizes the critical importance of environmental remediation, opening drainage pathways, and supporting the body’s detoxification processes to help patients recover from complex, multi-system illness.
Discover the “exercise-induced metabolic shield”—a revolutionary concept explaining how aerobic movement transforms your body’s internal environment to outcompete cancer cells for energy. Drawing on cutting-edge research and level-1 evidence from the CHALLENGE trial, this article explores how consistent, intensity-aware movement serves as a potent biological intervention to reduce cancer recurrence and support long-term survival.
Are your nonstick pans secretly leaching microplastics and “forever chemicals” into your food? Dr. Jill Carnahan breaks down the latest science on PFAS in cookware, the risks of scratches and high heat, and how to build a genuinely safe, non-toxic kitchen.
A recent Rutgers study found estrogen-mimicking mold toxins in every pregnant participant tested, raising important questions about environmental exposure and maternal health. Dr. Jill Carnahan breaks down what the research actually reveals, the potential health implications, and actionable steps women can take—especially during the preconception window—to minimize their exposure and support their body’s natural detoxification pathways
Confused by the baking aisle? Dr. Jill Carnahan cuts through the marketing hype to analyze the latest science on sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, allulose, and sugar alcohols. Discover which options truly support metabolic health and which deserve caution, with a science-backed ranking to help you make empowered choices for your gut and heart.
Discover the emerging science of psychobiotics—live microbes that shape your mood, memory, and stress resilience. Learn how the gut-brain axis functions as a natural pharmacy for mental health and explore evidence-based strains to support your emotional well-being.
I believe the preclinical case for ivermectin and mebendazole as anticancer agents is real, multi-mechanistic, and worth taking seriously. I believe the Hulscher cohort adds a meaningful safety and tolerability signal in real-world cancer patients, and that the responses some participants reported are encouraging enough to justify urgent randomized trials.
