There is a therapy that neutralises traumatic memories without drugs, without years of talking, and without reliving the pain in full. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk told Steven Bartlett it uses nothing more than eye movements. And the clinical trial results are unlike anything psychiatry has ever produced. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk — psychiatrist, trauma researcher, and author of the global bestseller.

The Body Keeps the Score — has spent his career proving that trauma is not a psychological event that ends when the situation does. It is a biological imprint stored in the body — in the nervous system, the immune cells, the HPA axis, and the brainstem — in regions that have no language and cannot be reached by talking alone.

EMDR activates the same neural mechanism your brain uses during REM sleep to process emotional memories. The traumatic memory is briefly activated while bilateral eye movement reduces amygdala reactivity and opens the memory reconsolidation window. The memory is not erased. Its emotional charge is permanently reduced. The results are extraordinary.

EMDR outperformed Prozac for PTSD in clinical trials. 90% of single trauma survivors showed complete remission after just three sessions. WHO and APA both formally recommend it as first line trauma treatment. Save this. Share it with someone who has tried everything else and nothing has worked.

Follow Heal Sick for the neuroscience of trauma, healing, and brain health explained clearly.

Most people think of probiotics as a gut health tool. That’s true, but it’s not the whole story. Dr. William Li takes two probiotics daily, and each one does something surprising.

Lactobacillus reuteri lowers inflammation and supports immune function. It also prompts your brain to release oxytocin, the hormone tied to feeling calm and connected.

In chewable form, it targets the bacteria responsible for cavities and gum disease, which matters more than you’d think.

Gum disease has been linked to higher dementia risk, likely because harmful oral bacteria can travel from your mouth into your brain and trigger inflammation. Akkermansia supports metabolism and gut health.

Early research also suggests it may be linked to lower dementia risk. 2 small probiotics, three systems protected. Your gut, your mouth, and your brain are more connected than you think.

At 100 years old, preventative medicine doctor Dr. John Scharffenberg has a simple message about longevity: your daily habits may matter more than the number on the scale.

Being lean doesn’t automatically mean being healthy. Staying physically active supports cardiovascular health, blood sugar regulation, metabolic health and healthy aging.

Research consistently links regular physical activity with a lower risk of premature death, including among people with higher body weight or conditions such as hypertension. You don’t need extreme workouts to benefit. Brisk walking, cycling, strength training or other movement for around 30 minutes most days can add up over time.

The goal isn’t just to weigh less. It’s to keep your body moving, strong and capable for as long as possible

Your brain has 2 different memory systems. And chronic stress quietly switches you out of the good one. Cortisol — your main stress hormone — has a powerful, double-edged effect on how you learn and remember. First, the surprising good news.

A short, sharp burst of stress around the moment of learning can actually strengthen memory. In studies, a modest rise in cortisol before learning boosted later recall, especially for emotional material. This is why you vividly remember dramatic moments — brief stress says: this matters, encode it. But the picture flips when stress becomes constant. Chronically high cortisol damages the hippocampus — the brain’s memory centre — impairing its ability to form new memories and even reducing the birth of new brain cells.

Studies of students in exam periods show measurable memory declines under sustained stress. This is the fog, the blanking, the “I read it five times and remember nothing.” It isn’t a lack of intelligence. It’s biology. The most fascinating part: you have 2 memory systems.

A flexible “cognitive” one in the hippocampus that lets you understand and reason — and a rigid “habit” one elsewhere. Under chronic stress, cortisol shifts you away from the thoughtful system toward the automatic one. Stressed brains stop learning deeply and start running on autopilot.

So how do you protect your learning brain? Lower baseline cortisol with the fundamentals: sleep, regular movement, and time in nature. Use calming tools right before you learn — even a few slow breaths lower cortisol in minutes. Study in shorter, focused blocks, not long panicked marathons.

Follow Heal Sick for the science of how your brain really works — and how to make it work better.

Skin thins with age because the dermis loses the proteins holding it up, and nobody had tested whether lifting touched that layer.

Nishikori and colleagues (Scientific Reports, 2023) put 61 sedentary middle-aged Japanese women through 16 weeks of supervised training twice a week, either aerobic or resistance, and analyzed 56 of them. Skin was measured at the center of the left cheek. Elasticity improved by a similar margin in both groups, moving from 0.32 to 0.36 with aerobic work and 0.32 to 0.38 with weights.

Dermal thickness rose only in the resistance group, traced by the authors to biglycan, a molecule that holds water and structure in the dermis. Several things about this trial deserve stating plainly. Collagen was never measured in anyone’s skin, and the collagen signal came from gene expression in cultured fibroblasts bathed in the participants’ blood plasma. There was no group that did nothing, so both arms improved with nothing to compare against.

3 authors are employees of POLA Chemical Industries, a cosmetics company, and the sample was Japanese women with no men in it. This is also one trial rather than a body of replicated work. Lifting does something measurable to facial skin, and the collagen part is still an inference rather than a measurement.

Kids and adults with ADHD can respond to stimulation differently. In the clip, increased dopamine-related stimulation is described as sometimes helping people with ADHD feel calmer and focus better, while similar stimulation may make people without ADHD more hyperactive

The large Finnish studies showing up to 66% lower dementia risk from sauna use were not vague about protocol. Here is what the data actually shows.

Temperature: approximately 174 degrees Fahrenheit. Duration: at least 20 minutes. Frequency: four to seven times per week. Duration matters more than most people realize.

People who averaged just 11 minutes saw only an 8% reduction in cardiovascular disease death. People who stayed for 20 minutes saw a 50% reduction. Same frequency. Dramatically different outcomes. No sauna? Research on hot baths is encouraging.

Studies using water at 104 degrees Fahrenheit with participants submerged to the shoulders show similar activation of heat shock proteins and BDNF, the brain’s own growth factor. The same 20-minute target applies. Most people have a bathtub. The protocol is simple. The protection may be profound.

Creatine isn’t just for your muscles. Your brain uses it for energy, too. But according to Dr. Rhonda Patrick, there may be an important difference when it comes to dose.

She explains that muscle is very “greedy” for creatine, and while 5 grams can saturate muscle stores, higher doses may be needed to meaningfully increase creatine availability in the brain.

Research involving sleep deprivation, mild cognitive impairment, and dementia, showed higher doses of creatine were associated with improvements in cognitive performance. Her theory is that when the brain is under stress, its energy demands increase, potentially making additional creatine more valuable.

That doesn’t mean everyone needs 10 grams. But it does challenge the idea that the dose commonly used for muscle is necessarily the dose that matters most for the brain. Strong muscles matter as we age. So does a well-supported brain. Healthy aging means keeping both in the conversation.

Most people think about chemical exposure through food, water, or air. Very few think about what they touch. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses BPA, a chemical that has been used in thermal receipt paper and can transfer to the skin through handling.

Research has found that people who frequently handle receipts, such as cashiers, may have higher levels of BPA exposure than the general population. What’s especially interesting is that certain lotions, creams and hand sanitizers may increase the absorption of chemicals through the skin.

The good news is that awareness gives you options. Simple habits such as choosing emailed receipts when available, washing your hands after handling receipts, and reducing unnecessary exposure can help lower your overall chemical burden. Sometimes the biggest health risks aren’t the obvious ones. They’re the small exposures we never think about.

Fourteen of the 22 best-selling NMN supplements contained less than 1% of the NMN on the label. In three, none was detected at all. That testing was funded by ChromaDex, which sells a competing molecule, so weigh it accordingly. But independent work supports the broader point.

Professor Andrea Maier’s team at the National University of Singapore tested NMN products in 2024 and also found gaps between label and contents. Ignore the reviews.

Many of the near-empty products had thousands of glowing ones, and several displayed a certificate right there on the listing. So how do you check your own bottle? Ask for a batch-specific certificate of analysis, with the lot number on the document matching the lot number in your hand. A generic PDF covering “our product” tells you nothing.

On that certificate, look for four things. Identity. Potency in milligrams against the label. Heavy metals: lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury. Microbials. From a lab with no financial link to the brand. Be wary of anything priced far below market, or NMN buried in a proprietary blend with no stated amount. Then the harder question.

Maier, who runs randomised trials on this, has said NMN only helps some people, mainly those whose NAD+ levels actually rise. Choosing a brand is the easy question. Whether it is worth taking at all is the one worth sitting with. Save this before you buy anything.
