By Gary Null, PhD – The United States spends more than any country in history to manage disease, rather than create health. Until we confront the role of insurance as a barrier rather than a facilitator of care, no amount of medical innovation will fix a system designed to treat illness as a revenue stream.
by John D. MacArthur – We don’t really know to what extent biological processes are influenced by the electromagnetic fields that emanate from everything electrical, especially the long-term effects on our extraordinarily complex and sensitive brains when it comes to the safety of cellular (mobile) telephones.
By Gary Null, PhD – Love is not a luxury. It is oxygen for the soul, the organizing intelligence of nature itself. It is both the beginning and the destination of every human journey. We strengthen it through daily choice—choosing patience over reaction, empathy over judgment, generosity over grasping.
Each morning we can ask:Â Will I create fear today, or love?
By Dr. Chris Meletis – The omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) have long been known to provide significant health benefits. More recently, a molecular mechanism has emerged that explains how they support a healthy inflammatory response.
By Geo Espinosa, ND, LAc – Two decades ago, localized prostate cancer care mostly meant an open prostatectomy or ~40 fractions of pelvic radiation.Â
Today, the menu is far broader—robot-assisted techniques that prioritize functional preservation, ultra-hypofractionated radiation that may be delivered in as few as 2 fractions in select protocols, and ≥5 focal therapy modalities that target the index lesion while sparing the uninvolved gland.Â
The challenge isn’t a lack of options—it’s matching the right patient to the right intensity at the right time.
Review by Rudy Shur – The recommendation to consume a healthy amount of dietary fiber may turn out to be the most important nutritional recommendation of all. Research shows that a fiber-rich diet provides a many health benefits, from reducing the risk of chronic disease to better weight management, to fostering a diverse and robust microbiome.
By Geo Espinosa, ND, LAc – No single food causes or cures disease, but the microbiome science backing fermented foods is getting hard to ignore. A recent review/meta-analysis found that among other benefits, in the trials, eating fermented kimchi was linked with better blood sugar and blood pressure.
By Donnie Yance – The vagus nerve is the longest nerve in the human body, providing afferent information about visceral sensation, integrity and somatic sensations. The convergence of ancient wisdom and modern science in vagus nerve optimization represents a paradigm shift in healthcare, allowing for personalized protocols that address the root causes of autonomic dysfunction.
By Geo Espinosa, ND, LAc – PSA is our main blood test for prostate cancer. But in men with hypogonadism (low testosterone), PSA can look deceptively low—even when high-grade cancer is present, and this can delay diagnosis and treatment at the very early stages, when catching cancer matters the most.
By Donald R. Yance, CN, MH – Bloodroot-turmeric paste represents a traditional topical treatment approach for pre-cancerous skin lesions, basal cell carcinoma, and potentially squamous cell carcinoma. This formulation combines two primary botanical agents—sanguinarine from bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) and curcumin from turmeric (Curcuma longa)—along with supporting ingredients that enhance delivery and efficacy.
By Geo Espinosa, ND, LAc – Poor sleep isn’t just a nuisance—it’s linked with metabolic syndrome, hypertension, heart disease, cognitive decline, and even higher prostate cancer risk over time. Better sleep isn’t a luxury; it’s a foundation for health, clarity, and quality of life. Strength training can help with that.
By Chris D. Meletis, ND – Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a pivotal coenzyme for cellular metabolism, mitochondrial function, and genomic stability. This article examines the mechanisms, comparative efficacy, clinical and preclinical research, and safety profiles of NR and NMN based on recent peer-reviewed evidence and regulatory findings.​
By Geo Espinosa, ND, LAc – Coffee headlines often skip what matters in real life: dose, additives, timing, and how your body metabolizes caffeine. Coffee is not a “superfood”. There are no superfoods. But moderate amounts of coffee—especially black coffee or lightly sweetened—can be part of a smart longevity plan, including for men focused on prostate health.Â
By Erik Peper, PhD – Harnessing the living medicine known as bacteriophages could mark a profound shift in modern healthcare, offering a sustainable and evolutionary balanced way to prevent and treat infections for generations to come.
By Kurt Beil, ND, LAc, MPH – Recognition that environmental features directly influence human health began with a study published in 1984, retrospectively analyzing post-surgery recovery data in a suburban hospital, utilizing the view out of the recovery rooms’ windows – natural vs. man-made – as the setting variable, yet the impact and value of nature continues to be overlooked by many.
By Chris D. Meletis, ND – This article provides a brief explanation of alternative therapies for pain relief, aiming to improve patients’ quality of life, and help each patient find the best individualized plan.
By Pamela Day – Ancient traditions connect the mind and the food we eat. Together, food, community, and purpose form an integrated path to health and fulfillment.
By Geo Espinosa, ND, LAc – In well-selected, well-monitored men, testosterone therapy can improve quality of life—without compromising oncologic outcomes.
It has proven to be difficult, if not impossible, to proceed to full-scale randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for most of the natural methods that cannot be patented or otherwise monopolized.Â
By addressing food sensitivities through targeted testing and personalized dietary interventions, individuals can take a significant step toward reducing inflammation, improving gut health, and enhancing overall well-being.
As the producer of The Moss Report, the year leading up to the Covid-19 pandemic was filled with anticipation and excitement. We had invested years of hard work and significant resources into two major projects: our feature film, Immunotherapy: The Battle Within, and...

Menopause Care in the Longevity Era Longevity medicine is everywhere right now. Supplements, protocols, influencer clinics, patients walking in with questions about interventions their doctors have never heard of. What's missing from most of it is the evidence. The Midlife Women's Health Summit is three days on what the research actually says about menopause care when you add a longevity lens. What works, what doesn't, what's being oversold, and what to tell the patient sitting in front of you. Co-chaired by Lisa Larkin, MD, FACP, MSCP, IF, Jen Gunter, MD, FRCS(C), FACOG, DABPM, ABPMR, and Lauren Streicher, MD, FACOG, MSCP; three of the clearest voices in women's health on separating data from marketing.
