How Your Mouth Shapes Your Longevity
In a recent conversation, Dr. Aoife Stack and Dr. James Goolnik argue that oral and airway health are foundational to longevity, influencing sleep, metabolism, immunity, and brain function. They explain how nasal breathing, tongue posture, and myofunctional therapy improve airway stability, nitric oxide production, and systemic resilience. Practical strategies such as sugar reduction, saliva balance, and simple habit‑stacking are presented to curb decay and inflammation. The discussion highlights that early and adult interventions can yield lasting benefits for energy, cognition, and overall healthspan.

Is Neurodegeneration a Systemic Metabolic Condition?
British biotech Vesalic reports a breakthrough that links amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) to a systemic metabolic dysfunction detectable in blood extracellular vesicles (EVs). The company says the EVs carry a toxic lipid cargo that harms motor neurons, and its blood‑based...
🎙️ Lifestyle Medicine and Healthspan
Allen Law outlines lifestyle medicine’s six pillars—diet, exercise, stress management, restorative sleep, avoidance of harmful substances, and nurturing social connections. He argues that consistent daily habits across these areas can significantly boost healthspan, the period of life spent in good...
Designing Healthspan: Inside the Morrow Model
The episode features Allen Law and Dr. William Tan discussing Morrow’s preventive health platform that integrates diagnostics, AI coaching, and community to turn biomarker data into daily habits. They critique modern medicine’s reactive nature and outline six pillars of lifestyle...
🎙️ Nanoplastics in the Human Brain
Researchers published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation that nanoplastics can traverse the blood‑brain barrier and accumulate within human brain tissue. The study identified these ultra‑small particles, comparable in size to viruses, in both young and older individuals. Notably, brains...
🎙️ Targeting Inflammaging with AI
Scienta introduced EVA, an AI model designed to combat inflammaging. EVA integrates multi‑omic preclinical and clinical data to map inflammatory pathways linked to age‑related diseases.
