Phospholipase on Muscle Growth; Autophagy in Cancer and a Mystery Ally; New Antibiotic

In this episode, we will be diving extensively into a powerful muscle promoting mechanism known as phospholipase. Following that, we dive into a potential treatment for cancer using an unlikely ally. Finally, I discuss research out of McMaster University developing a new style of antibiotic.

How does your Body fix Mutations?, Heart Rate Variability, Caffeine causes Migraines?

In this podcast, I admittedly nerd out a bit on genetics and how our cells repair our genes when exposed to mutagens (things that cause mutations). However, with good reason, because a new paper has added some clarity to a part of the process and man is it cool! Beyond that, we will go into heart rate variability, as well as if caffeine is associated with migraines? Check it out and share!
