    Cortisol stimulates its own synthesis (peripherally), drives obesity/diabetes/CVD

    Synthetic/bioidentical glucocorticoids (GC) are perhaps the most widely used steroids clinically.

    Niacinamide may lower blood pressure in humans by raising NAD+

    The study actually used the now-banned NAD+ precursor known as nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), but, as I keep reminding people, multiple studies have demonstrated statistically equivalent rise in NAD+ levels from equal doses of any of the known NAD+ precursors such as niacin, niacinamide...

    Pregnenolone (P5) blocks stress-induced anxiety, hypertension and cocaine cravings

    A great new study, and with humans too! As the study aptly demonstrates, the primary driver of cocaine cravings is likely stress and the anxiety it causes. This finding is another corroboration of the findings of the great Rat Park experiment/study on "addiction". In the study below, the...

    Pre-natal Viagra Use Causes Offspring Hypertension And Maternal Diabesity

Well, the same misguided idea of using nitric oxide (NO) promoting drugs like Viagra to induce vasodilation...

    Long Work Hours (stress) At The Office Cause Hypertension And CVD

    Many of my readers surely are familiar with the saying "work hard, play hard". This mantra is at the core of the psychotic work culture of most "developed" countries and despite the assurances of doctors and public health officials that bad health is largely due to "bad luck" (e.g. genes) the...

    Niacinamide Lowers BP, May Reverse CVD And Reduce Heart Attack Risk By 25%

    This is a human study, so the findings are that much more relevant even though they probably do not come as a surprise to users of this forum. The duration of the study was just 6 weeks and the dose was 500mg nicotinamide riboside (NR) twice a day (for a total of 1,000mg). There were no side...

    Statins May Exert Beneficial Effects Through A Pathway Other Than It's Cholesterol Lowering Action

    Many Hypertension Diagnoses Are Wrong And Due To People Being Rushed

    I have long suspected that the so-called "epidemic" of hypertension in the Western world is overblown.

    Another "obesity Paradox" - It Lowers Mortality In Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
