inflammation
New research frames chronic inflammation as a shared driver of cardiometabolic and mood disorders. We trace the glutamate, leptin, and sex-hormone pathways and give you a 14-day self-study protocol.
sleep-quality
New research maps the biochemical pathways linking sleep quality to glucose, insulin, and lipids. We synthesize five studies and give you a 14-day self-experiment to measure the effect in your own data.
gut-brain-axis
A 2025 RCT shows kefir shifts gut microbiota and improves sleep in ADHD. Combined with observational and mechanistic data, the evidence suggests fermented foods may influence cognition through microbial metabolites. Here's a 14-day n-of-1 protocol to test it yourself.
retinal-degeneration
A 2025 study maps hidden retinal defense networks — proteostasis, barrier signaling, and immune crosstalk — that modify degeneration. We translate the mechanisms into a 14-day n-of-1 protocol tracking contrast sensitivity and oxidative load.
gut-microbiome
New evidence links gut bacteria to mood regulation. Learn the biological pathways and try a 10‑day fiber self‑experiment to see personal effects.
circadian-rhythm
A recent Ramadan pilot study shows that circadian misalignment blunts glucose clearance. We explain the biology, link related research, and give a 7‑day sleep‑alignment protocol you can try.
neural-circuits
A new study shows octopamine‑driven neural circuits boost feeding when food is seen. Learn the mechanism and try a 10‑day self‑experiment to see if visual cues affect your own intake.
placenta
Recent work connects LBX1 dysregulation to preterm birth. We outline the mechanistic backdrop and a 14‑day nutrition protocol you can test yourself.
environmental-toxicants
Recent findings show that common environmental toxicants can reshape cytokine production. We break down the biology and give a practical protocol you can try at home.
circadian-rhythm
Recent research links circadian rhythms to immune efficiency. We explain the biology, connect three key studies, and give a 7‑14‑day self‑experiment protocol.
plant-based-diet
New research highlights the heart‑protective effects of plant‑centric diets. We unpack the mechanisms and offer a short self‑study to test the impact on your own cardiovascular markers.
gut-brain
Recent studies show gut microbes can alter brain neurotransmitters. We break down the mechanisms and offer a 7‑day self‑experiment to explore the gut‑brain link.
