Evidence-based health, wellness, and longevity content from Dr. Tom Biernacki.
Baicalein inhibits pro-inflammatory 12-LOX and protects Schwann cells from oxidative damage. Dr. Tom reviews the evidence base and how baicalein fits into a neuropathy supplement stack.
Magnesium blocks the NMDA receptors that fire during migraine attacks. Dr. Tom breaks down the exact form, dose, and timing he uses — and why most magnesium supplements fail migraine patients.
Chrysin activates Nrf2 and reduces oxidative stress in diabetic nerve tissue. Dr. Tom reviews the clinical evidence for chrysin in peripheral neuropathy and how it fits into a functional protocol.
1 in 4 people can’t clear mycotoxins due to HLA-DR gene variants. Dr. Tom explains CIRS diagnosis, the 12-step Shoemaker protocol, VCS testing, and how to actually recover from mold illness.
POTS affects 1–3 million Americans, mostly women. Dr. Tom explains orthostatic intolerance, dysautonomia mechanisms, and the functional medicine protocols that actually help.
Nobiletin, a polymethoxylated flavone from citrus, activates PPAR-γ and reduces TNF-α-driven nerve inflammation. Dr. Tom reviews its role in diabetic peripheral neuropathy management.
30,000+ Lyme cases are reported yearly — but chronic Lyme remains contested. Dr. Tom explains coinfection testing, biofilm protocols, immune support, and the integrative approach to post-Lyme syndrome.
Your genome doesn’t determine your destiny — gene expression does. Dr. Tom explains SNP testing, MTHFR, COMT, APOE4, and how nutrigenomics guides personalized supplement protocols.
Maslinic acid, a triterpene from olive skin, inhibits glycation and protects against oxidative nerve damage in diabetes. Dr. Tom reviews the preclinical evidence and protocol use.
Corosolic acid from banaba leaf mimics insulin action and reduces AGE formation in peripheral nerves. Dr. Tom explains its dual role in blood sugar control and neuropathy protection.
