John Gilday is associated with Mara Labs and has a research background in organic chemistry. His peer-reviewed publications focus on synthetic organic chemistry, including asymmetric synthesis, organolithium-mediated reactions, and the chemical synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocycles such as aziridines, piperidines, and sparteine derivatives.

"the way it affects NF-κB is the same way it activates um NRF2. It's through a reactive cysteine modification, the covalent change that happens." (said at 0:54:41)
No published record matching the claim that sulforaphane activates NRF2 and inhibits NF-κB through covalent modification of reactive cysteine residues was located; this does not prove the claim false.
"Yeah, and the one a lot of doctors say is the most bioavailable actually is 97% um detergent and 3% curcumin." (said at 1:16:12)
No published record matching the claim that certain highly bioavailable commercial curcumin supplement formulations contain approximately 97% polysorbate 80 detergent and 3% curcumin was located; this does not prove the claim false.
"if you take um uh one like salmonella and you want to get a really potent um immune reaction, you mix that with polysorbate 80 and it strips the strips the LPS off the surface and then you can use that as a stimulant" (said at 1:17:20)
No published record matching the claim that mixing Salmonella with polysorbate 80 strips lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from the bacterial surface to create a potent immune stimulant was located; this does not prove the claim false. While detergents and surfactants can interact with bacterial outer membranes, standard biochemical extraction of LPS typically uses methods such as hot phenol-water extraction or specific organic solvent protocols rather than simple mixing with polysorbate 80.
"the black cohosh is uh clinical studies showing that it it um works on serotonin, dopamine in the hypothalamus. And so, those are sort of the the uh temperature regulation and mood um centers. So, it helps helps with that." (said at 1:19:35)
No published record matching the claim that clinical studies show black cohosh acts on serotonin and dopamine pathways in the hypothalamus to aid in temperature regulation and mood was located; this does not prove the claim false.
