🧠 🎛️💡 Master Control: Is the Brain Orchestrating Aging?
Dr. Baliga's 'Got Knowledge Doc?' PODKASTS
🧠 Is your brain orchestrating how fast you age? New insights suggest that aging isn’t just about wear and tear—it may be centrally coordinated by the brain through molecules like GDF15, responding to stress, senescence, and energy demands. 💬 Fascinating findings from Nature (June 2025) show how psychological stress accelerates aging at a cellular level—and how lifestyle interventions like exercise may help reverse it. 👇 How are you integrating brain–body science into your approach to aging and wellness? #AgingScience #BrainHealth #Longevity...

🫀 Cells, Senescence, and Survival: How the Heart Ages
Dr. Baliga's 'Got Knowledge Doc?' PODKASTS
🫀 The Heart Ages—But Can We Intervene? New insights from Nature Reviews Cardiology highlight how endothelial dysfunction, inflammageing, CHIP, and senescence-associated secretory phenotypes (SASP) drive cardiovascular ageing. Promising interventions—from gerotherapeutic diets and exercise to NAD+ boosters, senolytics, and ACBP neutralization—may help delay decline and promote resilience. 💡 Can we target the biology of ageing to extend cardiovascular healthspan, not just lifespan? 👇 Join the conversation: Which intervention holds the most promise—and what...

Vitamin D: Broad Hopes, Narrow Proof?
Dr. Baliga's 'Got Knowledge Doc?' PODKASTS
🌞 New Guidelines on Vitamin D Supplementation! 💊🧪 JAMA’s latest synopsis recommends empirical vitamin D dosing—without routine testing—for children, the elderly, pregnant women, and those with prediabetes. The evidence? Conditional, with wide confidence intervals—but the low cost and minimal harm may tip the scales. Let’s discuss: Is this the dawn of “test less, dose more” in preventive medicine? #VitaminD #PublicHealth #Endocrinology #JAMA #ClinicalGuidelines #PreventiveCare
