These reactions are miraculous, I can’t imagine this is happening all the time in our bodies, thank you for explaining so clearly

Can you please explain how SERCA reduced function causes IR? You are not covering that, but I did some research and I found the following:
1. Elevated Ca2+ cytoplasm sends disrupting signaling paths that involve insulin receptors.
2. Reduced SERCA activity leads to a stressed out ER or SR. A stressed ER also sends insulin disrupting signals that involve insulin receptors.
The signaling pathways that disrupt insulin works by activating stress-related kinases such as JNK (c-Jun N-terminal kinase) and IKK (IkB kinase). These kinases can phosphorylate insulin receptor substrate (IRS) proteins on serine residues, which inhibits insulin signaling and contributes to insulin resistance
Is this correct? thank you!

Dr Rogers is magnesium found in leafy greens or all plant foods say grains, other vegetables, I was wondering as you say it’s in the centre of Chlorophyll but grains don’t have chlorophyll.

Cortisol is produced by cancer, correct? Especially, I’ve read with cancer cachexia, in which a patient has lost 5% of body weight within the 1st 6 months of dx.
I’ve read that cachexia can continue without continuing weight loss- especially if the tumor cannot be completely removed-and shows up clinically with Extreme Fatigue, muscle loss and atrophy and fat loss.
Yet, small community oncology clinics do not standardly measure lean muscle loss via any method like dexascan, etc.
They refer to the patient’s cognitive fatigue and brain fog as “chemo brain “.
Are the toxins, cortisol, fibrinogens, etc..released by a solid cancer tumor and cancer cachexia DESTROYING the brain permanently? And radiation therapy for only just 2 weeks seemed to create an autoimmune type condition as well. hmmm. FYI-not a brain cancer)
Thanks for all your education and shared research! 💜🙏

Sorry to burst your insular bubble Peter, when comparing a low fat diet to a ketogenic diet in protecting the blood brain barrier...the low fat was inferior on these studies.

Study Title: Ketones and the Blood-Brain BarrierPublication: Neuroscience and Biobehavioral ReviewsYear: 2018
Findings: This review explored how ketone bodies, which are elevated during a ketogenic diet, interact with the blood-brain barrier. It concluded that ketones help to strengthen the BBB by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, which are common in neurodegenerative conditions. The ketogenic diet was found to be more effective than a low-fat diet in promoting BBB health.

Study Title: Impact of a Ketogenic Diet on Blood-Brain Barrier Transport in Aging
Publication: Neurobiology of AgingYear: 2019
Findings: This study examined the effects of a ketogenic diet on the blood-brain barrier in aging models. The results indicated that the ketogenic diet improved BBB function, likely due to reduced glucose levels and increased ketone bodies. These changes were not observed in the low-fat diet group, suggesting that a ketogenic diet may offer superior neuroprotection.

Study Title: Neuroprotective Effects of Ketone Bodies and the Blood-Brain BarrierPublication: Frontiers in NeuroscienceYear: 2020
Findings: This study reviewed the neuroprotective roles of ketone bodies, emphasizing their ability to protect the blood-brain barrier. The researchers found that ketones, which are produced in higher amounts during a ketogenic diet, can reduce BBB permeability and prevent the infiltration of harmful substances into the brain. This protective effect was more pronounced compared to the low-fat diet group.

I agree about 60.40 BS in How not to Age, caffeine is encouraged saying it helps autophagy
