Key Points: Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, shortening the lifespans of millions. Most cardiovascular disease treatments target the arteries, such as statins, yet the deterioration of smaller blood vessels — our microvasculature — is also linked to the progression of cardiovascular disease. Some scientists even argue that microvasculature deterioration is the… Continue reading New Pilot Study Reveals That Creatine Improves Heart Health

“Steroids Are Awesome” – But Here’s How They Accelerate Aging, Heart Disease, and Brain Decline, According to Jeff Nippard
Key Points: The controversy surrounding anabolic steroids has long captivated the fitness community. While their effectiveness in rapidly building muscle is undeniable for some individuals, the potential side effects can be severe and far-reaching. Jeff Nippard, a renowned lifetime natural bodybuilder and science-based fitness influencer, recently delved into this topic in a YouTube video titled… Continue reading “Steroids Are Awesome” – But Here’s How They Accelerate Aging, Heart Disease, and Brain Decline, According to Jeff Nippard
Does Vegetable Oil and Not LDL Cholesterol Causes Heart Disease?
Key Points: In a recent video, physician Paul Saladino, M.D., explained the origin of CANOLA — CANadian Oil Low Acid. He says that Canada produced massive amounts of seed oil during World War II to make it into a lubricant for ships. The oil came from the seeds of the rapeseed plant, which gets its name… Continue reading Does Vegetable Oil and Not LDL Cholesterol Causes Heart Disease?
Paleo Doctor Challenges Mainstream Scientists: Red Meat Reverses Aging
Key Points: Paul Saladino, M.D., physician and host of the Fundamental Health podcast, firmly believes our diet is at the root of chronic illnesses. While Western medicine deems chronic illnesses irreversible, Dr. Saladino believes they are both reversible and preventable. The Mainstream View In an episode of his podcast, Saladino discusses the mainstream view of… Continue reading Paleo Doctor Challenges Mainstream Scientists: Red Meat Reverses Aging

FDA Approves Drug Similar to Ozempic for Reducing Heart Disease Risks: The New Antidote to Aging?
Key Points: Danish multinational pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk recently announced that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the company’s injectable weight-loss drug Wegovy for reducing risks of adverse heart disease-related events. The approval is based on a study showing that 2.4 mg of semaglutide — the generic name for Wegovy — reduced the… Continue reading FDA Approves Drug Similar to Ozempic for Reducing Heart Disease Risks: The New Antidote to Aging?
New Study Claims High Protein Foods Increase Heart Disease Risk — Don’t Believe the Hype
Key Points: A recent study led by University of Pittsburgh scientists made headlines for allegedly identifying the amount of protein intake necessary to increase cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. These headlines, saying that a high protein intake may lead to heart disease, triggered widespread panic on various online platforms. The study supports the idea that people… Continue reading New Study Claims High Protein Foods Increase Heart Disease Risk — Don’t Believe the Hype
German Study Shows Senolytics Restore Heart-Brain Connection to Reverse Cardiac Aging
Key Points: Our brain is connected to our heart by thousands of neurons. However, conditions of cardiac aging, such as irregular heart rhythms, can be triggered by neurons disconnecting from the heart. Now, scientists from Goethe University Frankfurt in Germany have found that senescent cells may promote this disconnection. Wagner and colleagues report in Science… Continue reading German Study Shows Senolytics Restore Heart-Brain Connection to Reverse Cardiac Aging
New Study Reveals Activating Sirtuins Could Reverse Heart Aging
Key Points: Scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Beijing Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine have found that SIRT2 is an enzyme involved in monkey heart aging. Lowering SIRT2 levels made heart cells (cardiomyocytes) from human stem cells act a lot like old monkey hearts that were formed naturally. In contrast,… Continue reading New Study Reveals Activating Sirtuins Could Reverse Heart Aging
Senolytic Compound Fisetin Preserves Artery Wall Elasticity to Combat Cardiovascular Disease
Key Points: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Furthermore, artery dysfunction and artery wall stiffening precede the development of CVD with aging. Keeping this in mind, halting the progression of artery dysfunction and stiffening could mitigate the occurrence of CVD and prolong the lifespan of millions. Now, researchers from the University… Continue reading Senolytic Compound Fisetin Preserves Artery Wall Elasticity to Combat Cardiovascular Disease
