By PJ Glassey / / Comments Off on How to Stop the “Sick Fat” Obesity Cascade Before it Starts

The phrase “sick fat” sounds like something from a fitness infomercial, but in reality, it’s a critical concept in metabolic science.

Recent breakthroughs in metabolic research are reframing Alzheimer’s disease. Rather than a mysterious buildup of toxic debris, new evidence suggests the condition is driven by a systems-level energy failure. At the center of this failure is the depletion of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a coenzyme essential for mitochondrial function, DNA repair, and cellular resilience. The…

The long-standing cultural narrative that a glass of red wine or a moderate amount of alcohol is “heart-healthy” or protective for the brain is being systematically dismantled by modern science. Recent large-scale studies, including landmark research from Oxford and the World Health Organization, are clear: there is no safe threshold for alcohol consumption when it…
