Dr. Martin Picard on The Diary of a CEO
How mitochondria shape health, aging, stress, and disease
In this episode of The Diary of a CEO podcast, Dr. Martin Picard explains why mitochondria are far more than the cell's "powerhouses." He describes them as a dynamic communication network that determines how efficiently energy flows throughout the body, influencing everything from physical performance and resilience to aging and chronic disease. Throughout the conversation, he presents a framework he calls energy resistance, suggesting that many seemingly unrelated conditions—including diabetes, cancer, neurodegenerative disease, and chronic fatigue—can be understood as problems of disrupted energy flow rather than isolated organ dysfunction.

In the third episode of Ahead of Alzheimer's, Emily Kaplan speaks with Florida Department of Elder Affairs Secretary Michelle Branham about why this is a pivotal moment in Alzheimer's care. Drawing on more than two decades of work in policy and advocacy, Branham explains that advances in blood-based diagnostics, emerging treatments, and lifestyle interventions are transforming Alzheimer's from a disease with few options into one where earlier action can meaningfully improve quality of life.

Ketone Bodies Preserve Muscle During Acute Inflammation
β-hydroxybutyrate reduced muscle protein breakdown during acute inflammatory stress.
This randomized crossover study examined whether the ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) could reduce the muscle wasting that commonly accompanies acute inflammation. Healthy volunteers were given bacterial endotoxin (LPS) to induce a temporary inflammatory response, then received either BHB, free fatty acids, or saline while researchers measured muscle protein metabolism. BHB reduced muscle protein

A Fancy Name for Junk Food
Does the war on “ultra-processed foods” make any sense?
In this essay, Gary Taubes looks at the growing movement to blame "ultra-processed foods" (UPFs) for obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diseases. While agreeing that many industrially produced foods are unhealthy, he argues that "ultra-processed" is an imprecise label that shifts attention away from nutritional factors that can be studied scientifically—particularly sugar and refined carbohydrates—and toward an ambiguous category based largely on how foods are manufactured.

Chronic Lactate Impairs Mitochondrial Function
Persistently elevated lactate—not the temporary rise seen during exercise—can impair mitochondrial function and metabolic flexibility.
This study examines what happens when lactate remains chronically elevated, as is often seen in obesity, insulin resistance, heart failure, and other metabolic disorders. Unlike the temporary rise in lactate during exercise, which is a normal and beneficial part of healthy metabolism, persistent elevations reduced fatty acid transport and oxidation, increased reactive oxygen species (ROS), altered mitochondrial mem
