Today we’re going to talk about broccoli, sulforaphane, and combating inflammation, as well as the new research and education discipline of microbes and social equity, with Sue Ishaq, PhD, founder of the Microbes and Social Equity Working Group, Principal Investigator at the Ishaq Lab, and assistant professor of Animal and Veterinary Sciences at the University of Maine School of Food and Agriculture.
The Ishaq lab investigate solutions for using microorganisms to resolve disordered communities and host health by increasing our understanding of the interactions between animal (or human) hosts and their resident microbiota.
Over the years, Dr. Ishaq's research has gone from wild animal gut microbiomes, to soils, to buildings, and back to the gut. Since 2019, her lab in Maine has focused on host-associated microbial communities in animals and humans, and in particular, how host and microbes interact in the gut and can be harnessed to reduce inflammation. She is also the early-career At Large member of the Board of Directors for the American Society for Microbiology, 2024- 2027.

Proton pump inhibitors, or PPIs, are a class of popular drugs that reduce the amount of acid produced in the stomach. They are often the first-line treatment for conditions related to acid, such as esophagitis, non-erosive reflux disease, and peptic ulcer disease.
We talk about PPIs and dementia with Misha Kogan, MD, ABIOM, RCST, medical director of the GW Center of Integrative Medicine and associate professor of Medicine here at GW. Studies show that people who take proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) for more than four years and are 45 or older have a 33% higher risk of developing dementia than those who have never taken PPIs.
An expert on neurodegenerative diseases, Dr. Kogan completed the Geriatric Fellowship at GW. He is the chief editor of the first definitive textbook on Integrative Medicine and aging, “Integrative Geriatric Medicine,” part of Andrew Weil Integrative Medicine Library series.
Dr. Kogan is also on the faculty of the GW Institute for Brain Health and Dementias; associate director of the Geriatrics Fellowship Program at GW; and founder and director othe George Washington University Integrative Geriatrics Fellowship Track.

Today on the pod we talk about C-15:0 Essential Fatty Acid with Dr. Stephanie Venn-WatsonDVM, MPH. Dr. Venn-Watson is the CEO and co-founder of Seraphina Therapeutics, Inc. in San Diego, California. She and her husband, Eric Venn-Watson, MD, made the groundbreaking discovery of C15:0.
Also known as pentadecanoic acid, C15:0 is an essential fatty acid that has largely disappeared from the modern Western diet. Certain kinds of fatty acids can actually slow aging-related breakdown in our cells. And C15:0 is one of them.
The Drs. Venn-Watson are bringing it to the market as a food fortifier and nutritional supplement called fatty15.

Today we’re talking about sleep deprivation and glymphatics with Vivek Jain, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care & Sleep Medicine at GW and Director of GW Center for Sleep Disorders.
The glymphatic system is a network of vessels that clear waste from the central nervous system, brain, and spinal cord, mostly during sleep. Once thought not to exist, this lymphatic system may be disrupted in and contribute to some diseases of the brain.
Dr. Jain is a graduate for the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi, India. He did his residency in Internal Medicine and fellowship in Pulmonology and Critical Care Medicine at the University of Missouri Hospital & Clinics, Columbia, Missouri.
Dr. Jain’s research on various aspects of sleep disorders has been published in more than dozens or peer-reviewed scholarly journals and numerous books. He lectures nationally and internationally on the topics of obstructive sleep apnea and heart disease.
