This Week On TheHealthHub…The Impact Of Neuro Inflammation On Our Immune System with Dr. Gary Kaplan

Dr. Kaplan is the founder and medical director of the Kaplan Center for Integrative Medicine, and author of Total Recovery: A Revolutionary New Approach to Breaking the Cycle of Pain and Depression. A pioneer and leader in the field of integrative medicine, Dr. Kaplan is one of only 19 physicians in the United States to be board-certified in both Family Medicine and Pain Medicine. Dr. Kaplan is passionate about using multidisciplinary and alternative medicine strategies to address underlying chronic conditions. His forthcoming book, Why You Are Still Sick, is set to be released in June 2022.

Learning points:
    1. The connection between neuro inflammation and the immune system
    2. Genetics, epi genetics, toxins and their link to neuro inflammation
    3. Common diseases now found to be associated with neuro inflammation include Pans/Pandas, fibromyalgia and depression

This Week on The Health Hub…Dementia: Can it be Delayed or Prevented? with Dr. Kenneth Rockwood

Dr. Kenneth Rockwood is a professor of medicine (geriatric and neurology) at Dalhousie University and an active staff physician at the Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre.

He is also the Dalhousie Medical Research Foundation Kathryn Allen Weldon Professor of Alzheimer Research at Dalhousie University. A native of Newfoundland, he received his MD from Memorial University, and completed internal medicine training at the University of Alberta and geriatric medicine at Dalhousie University.

A leading authority on frailty, Kenneth Dr. Rockwood has more than 450 peer-reviewed publications and nine books to his credit, including the eighth edition of Brocklehurst’s Textbook of Geriatric Medicine & Gerontology. He is Associate Director of the Canadian Collaboration on Neurodegeneration in Aging, and leads its Quality of Life theme, and Knowledge Translation Platform.

Learning Points:

  • Can Dementia be prevent or delay?
  • Why must we look at a whole body approach to fight Dementia?
  • How can we use our understanding  of Epigenetics to alter the course of Dementia?

Beyond Its Taste

In simple terms, Epigenetics is the study of how our environment affects our gene expression.  As studies progress, the once held belief that we are at the mercy of our gene pool, is slowly changing.  This should in turn then affect how we look at cancer prevention and perhaps treatment.

Although more research is needed to determine a direct causal link between diet and cancer, there are numerous studies showing the positive association between the two. Furthermore as researchers continue to uncover the associations between diet and disease, it is becoming increasingly clear that the greatest benefits come from whole foods and not the isolated component nutrients.

I recently watched a short video by Bruce Lipton in which he spoke of a research project headed by Vaucheret and Chapeau demonstrating that “plant small RNAs acquired orally through food intake directly influence gene expression in animals after migration through the plasma and delivery to specific organs.”  Lipton continues by saying that “microRNA molecules in the food we eat are picked up by our digestive system and transferred to our own cells and regulates our own genetics…we alter our own genetic read out by the food we eat.”  So in essence, what we eat can either turn on our health genes or turn on our disease genes.

The science behind this is complicated but the message is simple.  As we continue to understand how our body’s immune system works in preventing and fighting disease and how diet and lifestyle choices can support it, what we choose to eat and how we choose to live our lives becomes of utmost importance in both preventing and fighting cancer.
