Consistent patterns of age-based alterations in DNA methylation can be harnessed to estimate age, serving as a sort of "clock," the premise of which is truly remarkable: Predict a person's age (or even lifespan), based on chemical modifications to their DNA...
Dr. Steve Horvath found a way to measure biological aging – a type of "clock" – based on the methylation pattern of an organism's genome. This video primer explains the basics of epigenetic clocks, the topic of our interview with Dr. Steve Horvath.
Broccoli sprouts contain more glucoraphanin, the precursor to sulforaphane, than mature broccoli. Glucoraphanin activates the Nrf2 pathway to protect cells from oxidative stress and damage. In this episode, we describe the basics of sprouting broccoli seeds.
In this special two-hour Q&A episode with Dr. Jed Fahey, a world-leading expert on the science of chemoprotection and, in particular, sulforaphane, we discuss many of the listener-submitted questions from the hundreds of live event participants. If you'r...
In this episode, Dr. Giselle Petzinger discusses exciting findings in Parkinson's disease research, with an emphasis on exercise's role in neuroplasticity and delaying disease progression.
A comprehensive overview describing the nutritional and non-nutritional components of breast milk and the health benefits – to mother and infant – associated with breastfeeding.

In this episode, Rhonda explains what NAD+, why it is so important for aging and why it declines with age. She discusses some of the popular NAD+ boosters like nicotinamide riboside and nicotinamide mononucleotide, what animal and human data says and some c...
Dr. Rhonda Patrick visits the Kevin Rose Show to discuss metformin, magnesium L-threonate, fish oil and brain health, sulforaphane, goitrogenic activity of isothiocyanates, sauna, and more.
The science of resveratrol including its effects in animals and humans, the mechanisms behind how it works, and the bottom line on resveratrol supplementation and safety.
David Sinclair, PhD, is a professor in the Department of Genetics at Harvard Medical School and co-director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biological Mechanisms of Aging. His work focuses on understanding the mechanisms that drive human aging and ident...
Sauna use has emerged as a means to increase lifespan and improve overall health, based on compelling data from observational, interventional, and mechanistic studies.
