The Health Upgrade Podcast

In this episode of the Health Upgrade podcast, we are joined by Leah Elson, a dynamic science communicator and researcher. Together, we dive deep into making scientific discovery accessible and relatable, sharing Leah’s journey from chaotic at-home experiments to her current cutting-edge research in neuroimmunology and peripheral nerve repair. We discuss why bringing science to the mainstream is so critical, and how curiosity fuels discovery.

In this interview, we also explore the fascinating links between the nervous system, immune responses, gut health, and even the effects of space travel on the body. Leah explains the concept of metabolic endotoxemia, the gut-brain axis, chronic inflammation, and the role lifestyle and diet play in overall well-being. The conversation is filled with real stories, from exploding shower curtains to space missions, all while breaking down complex health science into approachable, actionable ideas.
