358. Summary: Want to End Chronic Inflammation? This Helps! - Life Extension
The Future of Inflammation Resolution In this episode of Live Foreverish, Dr. Mike and Dr. Crystal welcome Harvard researcher Dr. Charles Serhan to discuss resolution medicine, a groundbreaking field focused on activating the body's natural inflammation-resolving mechanisms. Dr. Serhan explains how specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), derived from omega-3 fatty acids like EPA and DHA, actively resolve inflammation rather than simply suppressing it. This show offers promising new strategies for treating chronic inflammatory diseases. #LELEARN #EDULFsocial Guest Bio: Prof. Charles Nicholas Serhan, PhD, DSc is the Simon Gelman Professor of Anaesthesia (Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology) at Harvard Medical School and Professor of Oral Medicine, Infection and Immunity at Harvard School of Dental Medicine. He is Director of the Center for Experimental Therapeutics and Reperfusion Injury at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. He has received several awards including an NIH MERIT award (2000) and has delivered over 50 keynote and plenary lectures. Among these, 2008 William Harvey Outstanding Scientist Medal and AAAS Fellow in 2011. In 2010, he received the Society for Leukocyte Biology Bonazinga Award for outstanding research on leukocytes, The American College of Rheumatology Hench (Nobel Laureate) Award Lecture in 2011 and is a Mérieux 2013 Laureate. In 2016, he received the IUBMB Lecture Medal and the Ross Prize in Molecular Medicine.

356. Summary: Bloating: Why It Happens & How to Fix It - Life Extension
Your Guide to Gut Comfort In this episode of Live Foreverish, Dr. Mike and Dr. Crystal provide a comprehensive guide to managing chronic bloating. They walk listeners through a structured approach: first identifying whether bloating accompanies changes in bowel habits, then addressing specific causes. For diarrhea-related bloating, they discuss celiac disease, SIBO, peppermint oil, and targeted probiotics. For constipation, they recommend fiber-rich foods, hydration, magnesium, and vitamin C. When no bowel changes are present, they suggest tracking trigger foods and using digestive supports like ginger, fennel, and artichokes. They also highlight key warning signs requiring medical attention. #LELEARN #EDULFsocial

353. Summary: Spermidine Shows Promise for Boosting Vaccine Response - Life Extension
Spermidine Shows Promise for Boosting Vaccine Response A 2026 Aging Cell pilot study found that daily supplementation with 6 mg of spermidine was safe and well tolerated in adults over 65 years old following a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine booster. While overall immune responses were not significantly changed, older adults who had previously shown little or no vaccine response experienced notable improvements in anti-spike antibodies, neutralizing activity against multiple variants, and memory B-cell responses. The findings suggest that spermidine may help enhance immune resilience in vaccine non-responders by supporting cellular health and autophagy, a key process that declines with age. #LELearn #EDULiveforeverish
