  • 6 Ways to Boost Nitric Oxide to Lower Inflammation and Live Longer

    6 Ways to Boost Nitric Oxide to Lower Inflammation and Live Longer
    2026/10/19
    Your body makes a gas called nitric oxide inside the lining of your blood vessels every single day, and it only survives for about a second before it disappears. It is so powerful that a synthetic version of it is used in emergency medicine during a heart attack. Nitric oxide tells the muscle in your artery walls to relax, which drops your blood pressure. But it also keeps the inner surface of your arteries smooth, so cholesterol and immune cells cannot stick and start building the plaques that lead to heart attacks and strokes. In this episode I go through six ways to raise your nitric oxide, including what you eat, a habit that might be sitting in your bathroom cabinet right now, how movement changes things even when you are not exercising, what your nose and sunlight have to do with it, and the one factor that matters more than any of the others, which is not making more nitric oxide but destroying less of it. The full list of research references is in the description of the YouTube version.

  • 6 Warning Signs of Colon Cancer You Should Never Ignore

    6 Warning Signs of Colon Cancer You Should Never Ignore
    2026/10/19
    Bowel cancer usually gives warning signs long before it becomes serious, but those signs are easy to explain away as something you ate, stress, or just getting older. In this video I go through six warning signs of bowel cancer in order, from the easiest to miss through to the most serious one of all, which needs an ambulance. For each one I explain what it actually means in your body and what you should do about it, whether that is a routine GP appointment, a same day appointment, or a trip to A&E. The six signs covered are bloating that lasts three weeks or more, tiredness and breathlessness caused by hidden blood loss, a change in bowel habit that sticks around, losing weight without trying, bleeding from the back passage, and a blocked bowel. If you are in the UK and aged between 50 and 74, the NHS will post you a screening kit every two years. Screening does not cover you for new symptoms though, so please do not wait for a kit to arrive if something feels off.

  • What Eating Walnuts Does to Your Risk of Dying (The Evidence Is Hard to Ignore)

    What Eating Walnuts Does to Your Risk of Dying (The Evidence Is Hard to Ignore)
    2026/10/18
    A study following more than 90,000 people for around 20 years found that those eating a small handful of walnuts five or more times a week were about 14% less likely to have died by the end of the study than those who ate none at all. What makes walnuts stand out is that this isn't just one observation. A proper randomised trial handed people the nuts directly and then tracked heart attacks and strokes, and found a lower rate of those events in the group eating nuts regularly. In this episode I go through that large study, the trial behind it, what walnuts appear to be doing inside your blood vessels once eaten, and what this looks like in a normal week, including how much to eat and how to store them so they don't go off. The full list of research references for this episode is in the description of the YouTube version.
