For years I have read research about various biochemicals, such as indoxyl sulfate and pentosidine, which contribute to chronic disease and biological aging. I wondered why no lab offered these important tests. Now one does! I’m thrilled to be partnering with Iollo, a Stanford start-up. Iollo launched late last year and offers these biomarkers and hundreds more.
Mitopure is a new supplement from a company called Timeline. It represents one of the most important discoveries and developments in health and aging. Mitopure contains the molecule Urolithin A, which improves mitochondrial function like no other.
Unfriendly bacteria living in your mouth not only influence tooth and gum disease, and bad breath. These organisms may hold the key to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, erectile dysfunction, Alzheimer's, cancer, autoimmunity, and more!
In a few short years of being on the market, ProLon® has become king of the nutrition world. Before it came into being, however, millions of dollars of research grants and years of research by Dr. Volter Longo and the Longevity Institute laid the groundwork. The 28 published papers on the Fasting-Mimicking Diet (ProLon®) are tremendous and are attracting interest from institutions around the world. ProLon® has the distinction of being the only diet ever to be the subject of a New England Journal of Medicine article. It has been discussed in 3 articles in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
In previous blog posts (“Want your penis to work? Try flossing your teeth...but skip the mouthwash!” and “Want your penis to work - again? (part 2): A Holistic Approach to Erectile Dysfunction...And Vascular Health”) I discussed the importance of nitric oxide for erectile function and overall vascular health. Nitric oxide (NO) is a critical biochemical that can be impaired by genetics, many lifestyle and other factors, and also declines with age.
"Say N.O. to E.D....Say N.O. to all Disease!"
Last month I discussed a holistic approach to erectile dysfunction and poor vascular health. The focus was on the critical biochemical nitric oxide (N.O.). Nitric oxide plays a key role in blood vessel relaxation and dilation and, therefore, erectile function. Nitric oxide is essential for healthy blood vessels and avoidance of heart attack and stroke. By improving blood flow, nitric oxide plays a pivotal role in nutrient delivery, waste removal, and energy production. This translates into improved function and better health throughout the body. Actually, nitric oxide does many other beneficial things in the body, which deserve attention in future discussions.
A Holistic Approach to Erectile Dysfunction...And Vascular Health
Erectile dysfunction can have multiple causes but the single greatest factor is unhealthy blood vessels. Erectile dysfunction (or E. D.) is a sign of potential trouble brewing in the arteries and a warning of increased risk to future heart attack and stroke. So, you ladies who may not find erectile dysfunction of particular interest should realize that the same factors apply in part to female sexual dysfunction, hypertension (high blood pressure) and to overall cardiovascular health.
