We all know that stress can have a negative impact on our health, but did you know that fear can too? In this podcast episode, Dr. Casey Means dives deep into the link between fear, stress, and metabolic dysfunction. She explains how chronic stress, childhood trauma, and even the media can all contribute to chronic inflammation, which is linked to metabolic dysfunction and a variety of chronic diseases.
Dr. Means is a Stanford-trained physician, Chief Medical Officer and Co-founder of metabolic health company Levels, an Associate Editor of the International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention, and a Lecturer at Stanford University.

In this episode, I explore the intricate relationship between Vitamin D and Alzheimer's disease. I delve into the scientific nature of Vitamin D, not just as a nutrient but as a prohormone crucial for bone health, immune function, and brain health.
The episode highlights the common issue of Vitamin D deficiency and its potential neurological impacts. I also discuss Alzheimer's disease, characterizing it as a form of dementia marked by amyloid-beta plaques and tau protein tangles, leading to cognitive decline.
The discussion centers on emerging research that links Vitamin D levels to Alzheimer's, suggesting that adequate Vitamin D might play a role in preventing or mitigating the disease. This episode bridges the gap between Vitamin D's systemic roles and its specific implications in neurological health, particularly in Alzheimer's disease.

The deaths of six former Philadelphia Phillies players from brain cancer since 2003 have sparked concerns over the playing surface and radar guns at the team's former stadium - and now one doctor is calling for an investigation.
Interestingly, there has been an outbreak of glioblastomas at a local New Jersey High School resulting in 107 cases of glioblastomas at this school.

Glioblastoma is an aggressive type of cancer that can occur in the brain or spinal cord. Glioblastoma forms from cells called astrocytes that support nerve cells. Glioblastoma can occur at any age, but tends to occur more often in older adults. It can cause worsening headaches, nausea, vomiting and seizures.
