Q&A Highlights - May 2025

About this video

This monthly member Q&A highlights reel moves across injury healing, nutrition in breastfeeding, grains and metabolic health, eye disease, and sleep. Yurth argues that blunting acute inflammation with ice and anti-inflammatory drugs can delay tissue repair, and that early movement and non-drug pain modalities better support healing. She discusses nutrients she considers overlooked for nursing mothers and for infant brain development, explains why she favors certain less-refined grains and eating protein and fat before carbohydrates, and describes mitochondrial-focused peptides she is watching for glaucoma and macular degeneration. She also contrasts two pineal-related peptides for sleep — one aimed at restoring circadian rhythm, the other at neuroinflammation — and gives her view on the newer shingles vaccine.

Key takeaways

• Treat acute inflammation as part of healing rather than something to suppress immediately
• Prioritize movement of uninjured areas after injury to support circulation and repair signals
• Pair carbohydrates with protein and fat to blunt the blood-sugar response
• Match a sleep intervention to the cause — circadian disruption versus anxiety-driven neuroinflammation
• Ask whether a nutrient is commonly missed before adding exotic supplements
