You commonly hear “I had my cholesterol checked” and it’s normal. Or, “My cholesterol is high so my doctor put me on a statin.” Then, most Americans will (falsely) believe your risk for a heart attack is low...

This concept, quietly endorsed by mainstream medicine, may alter what you believe about taking vitamins. A very common misconception about taking supplements is that if some is good, more is better. This is unequivocally not true. In 99% of people taking supplements, they have neither tested their blood for specific nutrient deficiencies, nor have they tailored their supplements to their own biochemistry. The truth is, supplements –...

Why not both? A new perspective on aging may give you hope, regardless of whether you are 40 or 80. Here’s why getting old does not just mean accepting the inevitable – wrinkles, gray hair, or cognitive decline. There is very advanced, albeit not highly publicized, technology in blood diagnostics that allows you to harness the good and work to minimize the bad, at least from a physiological standpoint...

While most of us are familiar with the notion that antibodies protect us against a specific virus, it is not as well known that antibodies can fade, sometimes even after just a few months. T-cells, however, hold a cellular memory of infection for years, sometimes decades. Further, T-cells are the cells responsible for telling the other immune cells what to do and coordinating a full-...

One doctor has a theory. A doctor at the Research Institute for Genetic and Molecular Epidemiology in Russia proposes a viewpoint that glutathione – known sometimes as the master antioxidant of the body – holds the answer to why so many people have different clinical courses of COVID. Some mild, some severe, some short-term, some for mo...

Called tauopathy, this term refers to neurodegenerative disease marked by tangles of structural proteins (tau protein) that impair nerve cell function in the brain. New research suggests biotin defic...

Micronutrients – the vitamins, minerals, and molecules that regulate everything in biology – which are needed to launch a massive attack against the COVID virus are the same micronutrients needed to calm the storm once the threat subsides. Assessing micronutrient status is a key step in staying healthy during this pandemic. A research paper from the medical journal Clinical Im...

The reason: Their T-cells – which are a type of white blood cell called T-lymphocytes – carry a much more detailed and complete memory of the shape of the virus compared to antibodies.

But not all telomere tests are created equal as some disparity exists between labs. Measuring small amounts of DNA in a telomere takes some skill so it is imperative to use a lab that is experienced in telomere testing. SpectraCell was the first lab to commercialize telomere testing in the United States, back in 2010. With over a decade of samples, our reference population is well over 15,000 pa...
