Joint health depends on adequate lubrication between cartilage surfaces. When lubrication breaks down, movement becomes painful, and range of motion decreases.

We’re very good at naming diseases. Less good at asking what’s driving them.

There’s a mechanism showing up across the literature, linking iron dysregulation, lipid damage, and chronic disease progression.

And most clinicians still aren’t looking for it.

It’s called ferroptosis.

And it may be sitting underneath what we diagnose as:
• metabolic dysfunction
• fatty liver disease
• cardiovascular decline
• cognitive aging

This isn’t just another pathway.

It’s a pattern, one that may help explain why some patients don’t fully respond…and where we may be missing intervention opportunities.

Join Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson and me from fatty15 as we break it down:
✔ How ferroptosis shows up clinically
✔ What to look for (including key biomarkers)
✔ Where it fits into chronic disease progression
✔ Why this may represent a correctable deficiency state
✔ What emerging strategies could look like in practice

If you’re thinking, “this might explain a few of my patients…” you’re probably right.

Surgery doesn’t just affect the body. It affects the brain. 🧠

If you’ve ever wondered why recovery sometimes feels harder than expected, why brain fog lingers, or why no one talks about protecting cognition before anesthesia, you are not alone.

I’m Sande Bargeron, a double board-certified Anesthetist(CAA), Physician Assistant, and PhD in natural medicine. After administering anesthesia to more than 10,000 patients, I saw a pattern: we carefully monitor the heart, lungs, and labs, but rarely assess neurological resilience.

That gap is what led me to develop the HARP™ (Holistic Anesthesia Recovery & Preparation) framework and the Neurologic Stress & Recovery Index™ — tools designed to measure risk and support the brain before, during, and after surgery.

In my new book, "Break Through Anesthesia Fog: Protect Your Brain and Heal Faster After Surgery," you’ll discover:

• How anesthesia impacts the brain and body
• Why individualized risk assessment matters
• How to reduce post-op brain fog and emotional shifts
• The role of genetics, like MTHFR mutations, in detoxification and recovery
• Practical HARP protocols to restore cognitive baseline
• How small lifestyle shifts improve outcomes

This book isn’t about fear. It’s about preparation, protection, and measurable resilience.

You deserve to go into surgery informed — and come out stronger.

As the understanding of how cells communicate and regulate immune responses advanced, researchers began to notice that certain immune signaling proteins appeared repeatedly across diverse inflammatory conditions associated with systemic inflammation.

Galectin-3 drew sustained scientific attention because of its recurrent association in immune regulation and inflammatory signaling.

As one of several clinician-researchers contributing to early and ongoing research in this field, Dr. Isaac Eliaz, Founder and CEO of Eliaz Therapeutics, has spent decades examining the role of Galectin-3. This work has helped prompt deeper investigation into the protein’s recurring presence under conditions of cellular stress and complex inflammatory states such as sepsis.
