In this episode, Ayesha discussed a presentation at this year’s Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC) 2021 about the impacts of COVID-19 on cognitive health. The study, conducted at New York University Langone Health, found that in cognitively normal COVID-19 patients that experienced the neurological symptom of confusion due to toxic-metabolic encephalopathy (TME), levels of serum biomarkers associated with neuroinflammation, neuronal injury and Alzheimer’s disease (such as phosphorylated Tau 181 and neurofilament light protein) were higher than in patients that did not have TME. The strong correlation of these serum biomarkers with the presence of neurological symptoms in COVID-19 patients suggest that COVID-19 patients could experience an acceleration of AD/ADRD symptoms and pathology.

Ayesha also discussed another story about serum biomarkers for the early detection of pancreatic cancer. Immunovia, a Swedish biotech firm, has developed a nine-panel biomarker blood test that can be used for the detection of pancreatic in early stages. The company’s American subsidiary, located in Massachusetts, received approval for the test early this month and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health has already begun using it to test patients for the deadly cancer. The test evaluates a combination of immunoregulatory and tumor biomarkers. Early detection of pancreatic cancer is a significant unmet clinical need because the cancer is typically diagnosed in late stages when treatment options are limited and the disease is difficult to treat.

Show Summary:  “When you're bloated and have a super noisy gut, you might not be making enough enzymes to break down your food because you're stressed out.”

Stress and digestive issues can create neuro-inflammation. The vagus nerve attaches to every organ in a human body's digestive tract, keeping you in balance and maintaining your homeostasis. But, viruses can potentially hijack the vagus nerve and the immune system depending on how well the body can balance different life stressors.

The neck area has a direct connection with the brain. When someone has Epstein Barr or food sensitivities, they get swollen lymph nodes. Poor posture and stress can cause tight neck, preventing proper circulation and getting rid of toxins to help the body heal.

Dr. Jannine Krause, a Naturopathic Doctor, Acupuncturist, and Podcaster, shares how strengthening the parasympathetic system can combat this issue. Listen well as she gives tips and actionable practices on how to start to calm your nervous system to prevent inflammation.

Exceptional Highlight:

• Stress creates inflammation in the nervous system and we get infections because of it.
• You can't run from a bear and digest food. The brain literally cannot do that. Your nervous system is either in a parasympathetic state (rest and digest) or it’s in a sympathetic state (fight or flight) but it can’t be in both.
• Your oral health is related to your systemic health. When your gums keep bleeding or getting cavities, that is related to gut health.

Jannine 3:06

• We also have all these nerves that are connected, they go all the way down the spine, so can potentially affect every single part of your body, every organ in your body..

How do we help ourselves with neuro-inflammation?

Jannine 14:41

• It's not because we need to calm  the sympathetic nervous system, we need to strengthen the parasympathetic. I'm doing a lot more lifestyle stuff now and working on how we get more calm and there's this great thing called parasympathetic breathing.

What does food sensitivities have to do with it?

Jannine 19:46 

• With food sensitivities, what's happening is we've got two things. One is the neck bottleneck issue here. Part of it is if your neck is dealing with stuff, you're putting food in, your neck’s already inflamed - we're adding histamine. Histamine is a neurotransmitter that comes out in response to inflammation. So if you're struggling with rashes, or hives, or any of that stuff, and you can't figure it out, this could be  neuro-inflammation.

Welcome back to Season 2 of the Looking at Lyme podcast. Buckle your seatbelts, because we are going on a science adventure with Dr. Theoharis Theoharides, Professor of Immunology at Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston. Dr. Theoharides has been on the leading edge of mast cell research and recounts the fascinating history and physiology of mast cells. Mast cells have existed for over a hundred million years in many different animals and organisms and are found in all body tissues, including the brain. Mast cells are found in worms, fish, lizards; however, these species do not get allergic reactions. So why are mast cells associated with allergic reactions?

Dr. Theoharides explains that mast cells became associated with allergies in 1947 when it was discovered that they contained histamine. He describes the activation of mast cells during anaphylaxis as the sudden release of about 50 molecules from inside these cells, followed by a delayed release 6-12 hours later of further, newly synthesized molecules. He reflects on his earlier research showing that the release of these molecules can also occur, not only with allergies, but also due to many pathogenic, environmental triggers (for example, mold), and stress hormones. He notes that triggers such as Borellia or mold can cause the release of only cytokines (not histamine, or tryptase) from the mast cells. Dr. Theoharides also explains that when mast cells are “primed” with interleuken 33, followed by stress hormone release, the mast cells can release more pro-inflammatory cytokines than any other type of immune cell. This massive release of cytokines is referred to as a “cytokine storm”.

An Ode to The Good Doctor

Sometimes being a HappiHuman means we must go through some grief - as I am going though right now.

So if you’ll oblige me, I’d like to share my candid thoughts from a journal entry I wrote about my beloved Berkeley boy - my first dog who was much, much more than that.

My intention in sharing these private moments is not to make you sad or cry or conjure up hurtful memories of your own. Rather, my intention is to open my heart in the hopes that others will open theirs.

We must remember that love is the foundation upon which all of humanity stands. And with all the craziness and challenges humanity has faced this past year, I think we could all use this reminder - especially around the holidays.

So as we go forth, remember the cherished people and pets in your life. Rekindle lost connections. Keep your heart open. And return to being human.

Don’t procrastinate about feeling better…take action and invest in your health.

Your child’s brain requires certain nutrients at the right stages of life to help them develop properly.

In our most recent post, we introduced you to six nutrients that are crucial to the growth and development of your child’s brain. Because the brain health of our kids is so crucial, this week, we’d like to continue exploring a few more.

We all know now that nutritious food builds strong bodies. But did you know that we need brain food too?

Unsurprisingly kids who are bored, restless, inattentive and sleepy or who have a bad memory are usually those who have poor eating habits. By choosing the right brain food, kids can help ensure better academic performance and concentration.

Our brains take up only 2% of our body weight yet consume nearly 20% of our body’s energy. Eating “brain food” improves kids’ moods, elevates learning and concentration, and sharpens memory and attention.

The Standard American Diet falls short. It is devoid of nutrients, yet filled with sugary & fatty neuro-toxins that do nothing positive for our bodies or brains.

As we did with the last blog, we will include some foods in which these nutrients can be found and what benefits they provide. Then we’ll offer up some power foods that contain several of the key nutrients your child’s brain needs.

I get that it can be hard to feed a child - especially if they happen to be picky or only want to eat certain foods or textures. Hopefully, this list of power foods is the exact tool you need!

Don’t procrastinate about feeling better…take action and invest in your brain.

By the time your child is 3, your toddler’s brain will have tripled in size since birth. This is the biggest learning curve of his or her life and a time when his or her brain is developing trillions of connections.

At the same time, he or she is increasingly physically active and developing his social skills too. With all that going on, our children need a wide range of food to aid in rapid brain development.

“There is pretty solid evidence that children who are hungry are not able to focus, so they have a low attention span, behavioural issues, discipline issues in the school,” said Sibylle Kranz, an associate professor of kinesiology and a registered dietitian nutritionist in the Curry School. “Having children who are well-fed and not hungry makes a difference in their individual performance, and also how much they are contributing to or disrupting the classroom situation.”

Scientists have found around 45 nutrients that are key to brain health, including things like protein, zinc, iron, choline, folate, iodine, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids.

“From a neuroscientist’s perspective, food is really fundamentally important for brain health, because our brains literally run on nutrients,” says Lisa Mosconi, director of the Weill Cornell Women’s Brain Initiative.

By targeting a few food groups and experimenting with new ways of preparing them, fuelling your family’s brain growth can be easier than you might think.

Don’t procrastinate about feeling better…take action and invest in your brain.

One of the most common complaints I hear in my practice is related to brain inflammation, also known as neuroinflammation.

Most people think of inflammation in relation to arthritic joints, or maybe a sprained ankle or wrist. But did you know your brain can become inflamed, too? Inflammation is usually the body's response to injury and stress such as the redness and swelling that accompanies an injury or infection.

The problem with inflammation in the brain is that it doesn’t necessarily cause immediate hurt. Instead, symptoms such as brain fog, slow thinking, fatigue, and depression are the hallmarks. The inflammation slows down communication between neurons. This is what causes you to feel foggy, dull, and slow.

Other common causes of brain inflammation include chronic inflammation in the body, leaky gut, high blood sugar and diabetes, hormone imbalances, hypothyroidism, food intolerances (gluten is a notorious brain inflamer), stress, and brain autoimmunity — a disorder in which the immune system erroneously attacks and damages brain tissue. It is more common than people realize.

Is your brain inflamed?

To discover what common complaint this is, to learn the signs your brain may be suffering from inflammation and find out what you can do about it, keep listening!
