By Gary Null, PhD – If people evaluated character with the seriousness it deserves, many political outcomes would look very different. But people are programmed and propagandized, and we have been trained to act against our best interest while feeling virtuous for doing it.
Book Review by Julia Schopick – Total Load Theory is a paradigm shifting book in several ways, and highly recommended to anyone who is interested in out-of-the-box treatments, as well as prevention.
by Diana Crumpler – Given the overlaps between MCS and RLS, an ecological assessment might prove helpful for sufferers of acquired idiopathic RLS who may be affected by manifestations of environmental sensitivity.
By Donnie Yance – Hydrogen-rich water represents an innovative nutraceutical with broad therapeutic potential across multiple medical conditions. The evidence base, while still developing, suggests promising applications in cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, liver and kidney dysfunction, mental health, cancer treatment support, and healthy aging.
By Michael Edson, MS, LAc – Dry eyes, screen fatigue, and blue light exposure can all cloud your mental clarity, and growing evidence is showing that eye conditions like glaucoma may also play a role in cognition and brain fog.
by Holly Christy, ND; Brian Tuckey, PT; Nirnaya Miljacic, PhD; Nayak Polissar, PhD; Meena Vythilingam, MD = Despite the substantial burden to individuals, families, and communities, only a minority of individuals with PTSD receive treatment, and the rates of dropout from treatments are high. We have a need for innovative, rapidly effective treatment options that are well tolerated and accepted by individuals with PTSD.
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: Will I create fear today, or love?
By Gary Null, PhD – We are living in a moment when external power is rising alongside a quiet internal decline. Artificial intelligence is not a moral force; it is a multiplier. It enlarges whatever values already dominate a culture. So the defining question of this era is not what machines will be able to do, but what we will choose to become.
By Ben Moss – We live in a mental health system dominated by powerful, dependency-forming medications, prescribed early, often indefinitely, and with remarkably little discussion of long-term consequences or exit strategies.
By Gary Null, PhD – From childhood onward, we’ve been taught to chase pleasure. Pleasure sells products, trends, and lifestyles. Happiness and pleasure are not the same thing, and happiness threatens the entire system.
By M. Sheena Symington, MA, and Magda Havas, PhD – Auricular Chromotherapy could serve as a complementary or front-line option for patients who are resistant to talk therapy, hypersensitive to medication, or seeking non-invasive alternatives. Its portability, brief duration, absence of side effects, low cost and minimal equipment requirements make it particularly promising for trauma response teams, disaster settings, and integrative health clinics.
By Gary Null, PhD – When anger activates, adrenaline floods the bloodstream, and reason flickers, leaving us with our primal impulses. Awareness is the bridge back to ourselves, and a pause, sometimes even for a single breath, can break the spell of anger and help us see the situation clearly.
By Joy Reuther-Costa – From lowering stress and cardiovascular risk, to improving immune function and mental well-being, forgiveness transforms us. It doesn’t change what happened — it rewires how your body and mind respond to it, and in doing so, gives you the power to live more fully in the present, no longer controlled by the past, and those things you cannot change.
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 Gary Null, PhD – From celebrity culture to social media, we are surrounded by images of what it means to “make it.”
But many who appear to “have it all” live hollow lives, battling loneliness, addiction, or despair. Outward triumph cannot compensate for inward voids, and living honestly matters.
By Raj Jana – When emotional experiences overwhelm our nervous system’s capacity to handle them in the moment, our body has no choice but to store them. Over time, this creates what we see in Heart Rate Variability studies, where people with unresolved trauma show desynchronized patterns between breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure.
By Ben Moss – Research consistently shows that calming, slow-tempo music can increase parasympathetic activity, lower stress markers, and improve heart-rate variability (HRV), one of the most reliable non-invasive indicators of vagal tone and stress resilience.
Review by Ben Moss – For those who have never dabbled in psychedelics but are drawn to alternatives to pharmaceutical treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or other physical and psychological challenges, Psilocybin Therapy offers an accessible and trustworthy starting point.
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.
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.
