So, this is another n=1 experiment and the data is in the form of “I kind of feel like this is having an effect”, for what it’s worth. I’m wondering what the difference in brain chemistry is for aerobic exercise (bike) vs anaerobic (lifting). I’ve Googled it but can’t find anything that nails it do...

A promising new approach could potentially yield a new drug providing hope for millions of Alzheimer's patients worldwide. ...Fighting Alzheimer's disease from a new angle In recent years, scientific evidence forged a link between P. gingivalis infection, more commonly known as gingivitis, and Alzhe...

My two cents, and there is some scientific literature supporting the concept, is to give binaural beats at the delta wave frequency (slow) a try for 20min before bedtime. The concept is that your brain gets synced to this frequency associated with deep sleep, and over time you actually have more de...

The whole thing was a waste of time and effort and sleep, in my case. I hope your specialist is more insightful and holistic thinking than mine was. I'm not impressed thus far. They really didn't care one little teeny tiny bit about anything I've been doing. They decided before I even had the actua...

For now I will wait for more conclusive evidence that the benefits outweigh the risks for healthy people. I listened to a Rhonda Patrick clip on metformin this morning while working out. Bottom line was that exercise outweighed the benefits of taking metformin in her opinion. She had some good poin...

Given that I am 3/4 plus have quite a few Parkinson's genes and all kinds of other nasties like short-sleep, etc. I'm primed for a nasty future genetically. However, I am not gonna let those nasties be my future... -------- Gene ID’d as potential t...

I was surprised by the statement that individuals who develop high blood pressure in their 80s and 90s are protected from dementia, while those with normal blood pressure late in life are not. Wow. I wasn't overly thrilled about that one as I have always had great blood pressure numbers, leaning to...
