Study finds genetic differences between early and late autism diagnoses
A new international study published in Nature found that the age at which a child is diagnosed with autism is influenced by genetics, showing that early- and late-diagnosed autism differ genetically and developmentally. Researchers analyzed behavioral and genetic data from over 45,000 autistic individuals across Europe, the U.K., the U.S. and Australia, revealing that children […]

Poor heart health in midlife linked to greater dementia risk, study finds
Poor heart health in midlife, particularly in people in their 50s, is linked to a significantly higher risk of developing dementia later in life, with early warning signs detectable up to 25 years before diagnosis. Troponin levels, a marker of heart muscle damage, were found to be consistently higher in those who went on to […]

Listening to your body: What bloating is really trying to tell you
Bloating is the body’s feedback system, signaling that something in the digestive tract—like imbalance, inflammation or stress—needs attention rather than suppression. Mindful awareness and slower eating can ease bloating by allowing proper digestion and strengthening the gut-brain connection. A balanced gut microbiome is essential for nutrient absorption and overall health; nourishing it with fiber, prebiotics […]

Dark chocolate and berries can sharpen memory — if you eat them at the right time, study finds
Flavanol-rich foods like dark chocolate and berries may enhance memory by aligning stress hormone activity with the brain’s optimal window for forming long-term memories, according to research from Japan’s Shibaura Institute of Technology. Mice given flavanols one hour before learning tasks showed about a 30 percent improvement in recognizing new objects, linked to a surge […]

AAP urges caution on LEUCOVORIN use for autism amid rising parental interest
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) advised against routinely using leucovorin – a form of vitamin B9 – in children with autism, citing insufficient evidence of its safety and effectiveness. Leucovorin, or folinic acid, is a decades-old drug developed by GSK and commonly used to support cancer patients during chemotherapy, though it’s sometimes prescribed off-label […]

Walking 5,000 steps a day could delay Alzheimer’s progression by years, study finds
Walking as few as 5,000 steps a day may slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease by several years, according to new Harvard-led research published in Nature. Researchers tracked 296 adults aged 50–90 over nine years, finding that those who walked between 5,001 and 7,500 steps daily delayed cognitive decline by up to seven years. The […]

Balancing the autonomic nervous system: Natural remedies for everyday symptoms
Common symptoms such as headaches, heart palpitations, insomnia and muscle aches may indicate autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction, which affects vital functions like heart rate, breathing and digestion. Symptoms of ANS imbalance can manifest in five key categories: neurological (dizziness, headaches), sensory (blurred vision, tinnitus), digestive (bloating, acid reflux), endocrine/muscular (cold extremities, muscle tension) and […]

New landmark study debunks “protective” effects of moderate drinking on the brain
A large new study (observational + genetic) shows that light or moderate alcohol consumption does not protect the brain—and in fact is associated with increased dementia risk. Earlier observational studies that found a U?shaped curve (with moderate drinkers appearing at lower risk) likely suffered from reverse causation: people developing dementia reduce drinking before diagnosis, creating […]

Rising tide of “brain fog”: Young Americans report sharp uptick in cognitive struggles
Self-reported cognitive difficulties (concentration, memory, decision-making) are rising—not just in older adults but notably among younger Americans—and are interfering with work, schooling and daily life. Analysis of over 4.5 million BRFSS survey responses (2013–2023, excluding 2020 and those reporting depression) shows prevalence climbed from 5.3 percent to 7.4 percent; among ages 18–39, it rose from […]

Breakthrough nanotech therapy reverses Alzheimer’s in mice — human trials on the horizon
Researchers from IBEC and West China Hospital (with U.K. collaborators) have reversed Alzheimer’s disease in mice using engineered “supramolecular” nanoparticles that target the brain’s immune and vascular systems, not just neurons. The nanoparticles act by reprogramming microglia and repairing the blood–brain barrier (BBB), restoring the brain’s native clearance of toxic proteins (such as amyloid-B) via […]
