Ahead of Alzheimer's: Episode 2
Dr. Jeff Burns on why early detection must be paired with better care and support
In the second episode of Ahead of Alzheimer's, Emily Kaplan speaks with Dr. Jeff Burns, physician and co-director of the University of Kansas Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. Their conversation explores how primary care, healthcare policy, and insurance coverage influence access to earlier Alzheimer's detection, and why identifying the disease sooner is only the beginning of the patient's journey.

This Cell Won't Die
How to spot misinformation in the age of AI
This post traces the history of a viral image falsely described as "the most detailed view of a human cell ever captured." The image is actually a digital illustration created in 2001, yet it continues to spread because it is visually compelling, sounds scientifically plausible, and is amplified by social media algorithms that reward engagement over accuracy.

Hypothalamic Reactive Oxygen Species and Energy Metabolism
How ROS regulate appetite and metabolism through the hypothalamus
This review examines how reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the hypothalamus help regulate food intake, energy expenditure, and glucose metabolism. Signals generated by glucose, fat, insulin, leptin, and ghrelin produce transient bursts of ROS that allow specialized neurons to sense the body's energy status and coordinate appropriate metabolic responses. The authors describe ROS as an essential component of the

A Ketogenic Diet for Treatment-Resistant Depression
Randomized controlled trial of ketogenic therapy for treatment-resistant depression
This randomized controlled trial studied whether a ketogenic diet could improve symptoms in adults with treatment-resistant depression. Eighty-eight participants were assigned to either a ketogenic diet or a control diet designed to appear equally credible and supported with the same level of coaching. Both groups experienced substantial improvements, but those following the ketogenic diet had a modest additional reduction in depression scores after six weeks. The benefit was most apparent in participants with more severe depression, although differences in anxiety, cognition, quality of life, and other secondary outcomes were generally not significant.

Intelligence and metabolism
How stress, metabolism, and early-life experiences shape intelligence and learning
In this post Ray Peat argues that intelligence is not a fixed genetic trait but a dynamic process shaped by metabolism, physiology, and the environment. Drawing on research from neuroscience, psychology, and animal studies, he contends that chronic stress, social isolation, and rigid educational systems suppress curiosity, learning, and emotional development by increasing serotonin, cortisol, and other stress mediators. In contrast, stimulating, supportive environments promote

Visceral Fat: The Hidden Fat That Drives Insulin Resistance
Why the location of body fat matters as much as the amount.
In this talk, Dr. Ben Bikman explains why visceral fat is one of the most harmful forms of body fat. Unlike subcutaneous fat beneath the skin, visceral fat surrounds the abdominal organs and drains directly into the liver through the portal vein. As visceral fat cells enlarge, they become insulin resistant, releasing excess fatty acids and inflammatory signals that promote fatty liver, ectopic fat accumulation, chronic inflammation, and worsening insulin resistance throughout the body.

Former physician Dr. Brent Beasley shares his journey with early-onset Alzheimer's
In the first episode of Ahead of Alzheimer's, Emily Kaplan, CEO and co-founder of The Broken Science Initiative and MetFix, speaks with Dr. Brent Beasley, a former internal medicine physician who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease at age 57. Dr. Beasley recounts the subtle changes that preceded his diagnosis, how specialized testing identified the disease earlier than would have been possible in the past, and the critical role his wife played in advocating for his care.

Glioma Cells Depend on Fermentation of Both Glucose and Glutamine
Malignant glioma cells maintain energy production through dual fermentation pathways rather than oxidative phosphorylation.
This study by Thomas Seyfried and colleagues examined how malignant glioma cells generate the energy needed for survival and growth. Using mouse and human glioma cell lines, the researchers found that glucose and glutamine together were necessary to sustain cellular ATP levels, with glutamine serving as an essential fuel even when oxygen was plentiful or glucose was absent. Blocking glutamine metabolism sharply reduced ATP production, while measurements of oxygen consumption showed that mitochondrial respiration contributed little to the cells' energy supply.

How Sedentarism Alters Human Bioenergetics
Study reveals widespread impairments in mitochondrial function and metabolic flexibility in inactive adults.
In this new study, researchers found that physical inactivity produces a distinct bioenergetic phenotype characterized by impaired mitochondrial function, reduced fat oxidation, diminished metabolic flexibility, and earlier lactate accumulation during exercise. These changes were present in otherwise healthy adults, suggesting that mitochondrial dysfunction begins long before overt chronic disease develops.
