Iron to Heme to Hemoglobin Essentials
When oxygen is inhaled, it binds to the iron atom in the heme, allowing hemoglobin to transport it through the bloodstream to the tissues that need it
Oxalobacter: Gut’s Best Friend Forever
One of the key ways in which oxalates can contribute to inflammation in the body is through the activation of the NLRP-3 inflammasome
Wheat or WheatOut: IBS & Gluten Free

Glutamate & Excitotoxicity
Curcumin lowers glutamate levels by preserving glutamate transporter GLT-1 expression and function, leading to an attenuation of excitotoxicity
Fenton: linking Iron and Inflammation
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) can be hijacked by the Fenton reaction to produce highly inflammatory hydroxyl radicals (OH-)
Cold Thermogenesis & Brown Adipose Tissue
Cold exposure can improve cardiovascular health by increasing the production of “good” cholesterol (HDL) and decreasing the production of “bad” cholesterol (LDL)
Breath: Wim hof, oxygen and hypoxia
Intermittent hypoxic training (IHT) could promote general health and wellbeing and have anti-aging properties
