The Longevity Formula

Send us a textCollege student Ellie Altman shares her incredible story of transformation after suffering two severe concussions that triggered daily, uncontrollable seizures. She details the shock of being misdiagnosed with generalized epilepsy and finding no relief from maximum medication dosages. Ellie reveals how functional neurology, coupled with unwavering faith, was the only path to healing. She describes the "new hope" she found when traditional medical approaches failed, achieving complete seizure freedom and recovering her cognitive life through neuroplasticity.Ellie’s story is a testament to the power of never accepting "never." Her recovery culminated in achieving complete seizure freedom and successfully making the cut for her university's competitive a cappella group. Inspired by her own journey, Ellie is now pursuing her calling to become a functional neurologist, embodying the principle that sometimes your greatest trial becomes your greatest purpose.

Send us a textIn this impromptu episode of The Longevity Formula, Dr. Brandon Crawford and his wife, Sarah Crawford, discuss the recent FDA warning linking acetaminophen (Tylenol) to autism and ADHD. They explain that this correlation is not new in holistic health and highlight Tylenol's mechanism of action and its well-documented side effect of glutathione depletion, a master antioxidant crucial for detoxification and protecting the brain and body from oxidative stress.The conversation expands to other controversial topics, including how Tylenol use can compound vaccine-related risks by blunting immune and inflammatory responses, and the importance of circadian biology in boosting glutathione and supporting cellular health. The episode concludes with a data-driven analysis of a large birth cohort study, examining the prevalence of chronic diseases in vaccinated versus unvaccinated populations. This episode serves as a call to action for parents and providers to question the status quo, conduct due diligence, and prioritize a holistic, root-cause approach to health.Key TakeawaysThe Tylenol-Glutathione Connection is Not New: The link between Tylenol and neurodevelopmental issues isn't new; studies from the 90s show Tylenol depletes glutathione, a vital antioxidant for detoxification and protecting the brain.Medicine Should Not Be Dogmatic: Physicians should stay updated with current research and always weigh the risks and benefits of treatments, even for common over-the-counter medications like Tylenol.Glutathione and Vaccine Safety: Using Tylenol after a vaccine can be counterproductive, as the resulting glutathione depletion may hinder the body's intended immune response.Holistic Health Starts with Foundational Habits: The best way to support your body's health and natural glutathione production is through foundational habits like good sleep and proper sun exposure, not just with supplements.A Broader Look at Chronic Disease: A study comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children showed significant health outcome differences, highlighting the need for a more comprehensive and open analysis of public health data.

Send us a textIs chronic neuroinflammation the silent driver behind modern brain diseases like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Long COVID, and mood disorders? In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Brandon Crawford speaks with Cuong Do, the CEO of BioVie Pharmaceuticals, who came out of retirement to tackle the growing challenge of neurodegenerative diseases. They delve into the intricate science of TNF-alpha, explore the concept of insulin resistance within the brain, and discuss the potential of next-generation neurodrugs, such as BioVie's Bezisterem, to not only alleviate symptoms but potentially alter the trajectory of aging itself. Join them as they unpack the significance of ongoing clinical trials, the implications of biological clocks and mitochondrial health, and the often-overlooked connections between inflammation and crucial aspects of health, including cognition, hormones, longevity, and even autism.Key TakeawaysMany chronic conditions, including neurodevelopmental disorders and autoimmune diseases, may stem from fundamental light signaling failures at the cellular level.In Alzheimer's disease, TNF-alpha drives the production of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and the phosphorylation of tau, contributing to amyloid plaques and tau tangles, though these may be downstream effects of inflammation.Emerging research links the brain fog, fatigue, and malaise associated with Long COVID to inflammatory mechanisms that BioVie’s drug candidate, Bezisterem, aims to modulate.Pre-clinical studies of Bezisterem in Parkinson's models showed it to be as effective as Levodopa in restoring muscle control and demonstrated a synergistic effect when used in combination.Bezisterem is a small molecule that readily crosses the blood-brain barrier and has shown a long half-life, potentially offering benefits for Parkinson's patients experiencing "off" states in the morning.BioVie is actively monitoring biomarkers of neurodegeneration, such as GFAP and neurofilament light (NFL), in their clinical trials and has observed a disruption in the typical correlation between disease progression and these markers in the treatment arm.ResourcesBioVie Pharmaceuticals: biovpharma.comClinical Trials Info: https://www.bioviepharma.com/clinical-trials Products 528 Innovations Lasers NeuroSolution Full Spectrum CBD NeuroSolution Broad Spectrum CBD NeuroSolution StimPod STEMREGEN® Learn MoreFor more information, resources, and podcast episodes, visit https://tinyurl.com/3ppwdfpm
