The title above is a bit of an understatement. The global scientific community is pursuing research into reducing cellular stress at an unprecedented rate. It used to be that you would have a few researchers at the “nutrition” conference or a few scientists at the “physiology” conference presenting data on managing different markers of cellular

From January 24 to February 1 (9 days), I’ll be joining a bunch of nuts in riding the “Tour of Sufferlandria” (the greatest tour of a mythical nation) to raise money for the Davis Phinney Foundation – a fantastic charity that is improving the lives of people with  Parkinson’s Disease in the name of Davis Phinney,

As busy and productive people with over-scheduled, stressful lifestyles (sometimes combined with little quality sleep and poor eating habits), it is no wonder so many of us feel drained. “Saying that you feel tired usually describes a symptom,” explains Shawn M. Talbott, PhD, author of The Secret of Vigor (Hunter House, 2012). “It could mean

Day 3 of the Nrf2 Science Conference at Cambridge University is completed – and I think my brain is melting after 3 days of intense discussions about Nrf2 pathway metabolism! In a good way, of course. Pictures of Cambridge (hey, it’s a very cool historic University – founded in 1209)!

Here are some updates from Day 2 of the Nrf2 Conference at Cambridge University. Dr. Sabine Werner from the Institute for Molecular Health Science in Germany talked about the role of Nrf2 in the skin – as a key regulator of the cellular stress response and trigger for production of cytoprotective proteins involved in skin protection

I’m at the Nrf2 Science conference at Cambridge University for the next couple of days. I present my poster on “Phytonutrient activation of the Nrf2 pathway” later today. Here are a few highlights from the presentations yesterday (Day 1): From Thomas Kensler – University of Pittsburgh: Nrf2 activation is important for a wide variety of
