There have been amazing discoveries about our brain that clearly affect ongoing good memory functions. But now there have been further discoveries on how we can improve these functions in the brain and ensure a better functioning memory, hopefully deep into old age.†
One important discovery we can look at is the glymphatic system. This is how the brain detoxifies itself. It was discovered around 1985, but recently, it has been discovered that we can improve glymphatic function. This is very important because the ability to detoxify your brain declines with age.†
A second major discovery in the 1980s was that we release something at night while you sleep called brain-derived neurotrophic factor. This is really important because we now know that it seeds the brain with new, well-functioning memory cells. The ability to improve this, though, has just been discovered in the last ten years.†
Lastly, we have the blood-brain barrier. This is a barrier that protects your brain from toxins and things that do not belong in the brain. This was discovered over a hundred years ago, but the possibility of repairing it was only discovered recently.†
Studies have shown that there are nutrients that may help to bolster and improve these important aspects of the brain.†
When we look at the glymphatic system, for instance, we can look at a study that was done on patients with Alzheimer’s disease. The researchers noted that the brain undergoes a period of inflammation that causes the brain to swell. This, in turn, can make it more difficult to wash toxins from the brain, allowing for toxins to build up and destroy brain cells. They also found that resveratrol may be beneficial in supporting people with this issue. Other nutrients that have been shown to help restore glymphatic activity include a well-absorbed turmeric and green tea.†
Other studies also show that fish oils, especially krill oil, can help people without Alzheimer’s disease support brain health and the glymphatic system. Krill oil also has phospholipids that are important for brain health.†
The next discovery is about rebuilding the brain. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor is needed to help with the creation of new memory cells, but the release of this substance declines with age. Some studies have shown that the mineral zinc can help to restore the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in people with metabolic syndrome. Across the entire population, a well-absorbed curcumin can do the same.†
In this episode, Jerry Hickey, Ph. discusses important findings about the brain that are relevant to memory health. He explains how these important aspects of the brain were discovered and provides recommendations for nutrients that can help support overall brain health and memory function.†

Today, I want to talk about a virus that has many different variants. It is one of the most common viruses out there that infects the most people and can potentially become incredibly lethal. This virus is called HPV.†
10 FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE IMMUNE SYSTEM, PART 1 – INVITE HEALTH PODCAST, EPISODE 344. Listen Now>>
HPV stands for human papillomavirus. Studies have shown that is linked to the development of certain cancers, such as cervical cancer and anal cancer. This virus is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States and throughout the world. Every single year, there are 25 million active cases of HPV and about 5.5 million new cases. There are over 100 different variants of HPV and because of this, certain strains of human papillomavirus are more detrimental to our health than others.†
The problem with HPV is that certain strains can cause cancer in the cervix, penis, anus, mouth and throat. This virus can cause genital warts.†
Our immune systems are generally equipped to rid our bodies of this virus, but that’s not always the case. It depends on the strain we are infected with. This is why it is important to understand what we can be doing to mitigate any exposure to any of these 100 strains of human papillomavirus and avoid further problems.†
We have to acknowledge that having safe sex is first and foremost because we know this is the primary transmission for HPV. We also have to look at issues within the way that the body detoxifies, as well as methylation disorders. Researchers have been able to link folate deficiencies with a greater likelihood of developing cervical dysplasia and cervical cancer. Your B-vitamins are very important, so taking Methyl-B every day would be really wise.†
Vitamin E is also beneficial. Studies have shown that women with cervical abnormalities or cancer have low Vitamin E levels. When the researchers gave these women Vitamin E supplementation, it helped with cervical dysplasia. EGCG from green tea is another nutrient that is very targeted and has been studied in the setting of cervical dysplasia brought on by HPV infections.†
These supplements can also support men who have HPV.†
In this episode, Amanda Williams, MPH discusses human papillomavirus and the risks associated with it. She explains what HPV is and offers recommendations for supplements that can help protect the body from this potentially lethal virus.†
