“New Scientist article. 02:06:10 - Some people, like Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves, seem to defy aging. 02:08:15 - One 12-ounce can of sugar-sweetened soft drink per day shortened telomere length, corresponding to 4.6 years of biological aging.”

“Dr. Patrick also discusses glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin, kidney and electrolyte markers, hs-CRP, fibrinogen, thyroid tests, CBC, vitamin D, sex hormones, IGF-1, and the Omega-3 Index.”

“If we eat carbohydrate-containing foods when melatonin levels are high, our pancreas cannot produce the insulin needed to use the glucose. Therefore, eating too close to bedtime or immediately upon waking, before nightly melatonin levels have declined, may hamper the body's ability to process glucose.”

“The clip also raises questions about micronutrient status. A systematic review found a slight association between vitamin D status and total testosterone, with substantial heterogeneity, and concluded that both may reflect overall health status.”

“A meta-analysis of resistance-training trials found that protein supplementation produced modest additional gains in strength and fat-free mass, with average fat-free-mass benefit plateauing near 1.62 g/kg/day. This is a group estimate, not a precise requirement for every older adult.”

“In turn, cellular levels of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD+, a coenzyme that participates in the production of cellular energy, rise, switching on energy-generating pathways and activating enzymes such as sirtuins.”

“The link between obesity and behavioral cognitive problems is likely mediated by elevated inflammation since fat cells are significant producers of inflammation. Recent studies have connected cognitive-behavioral disturbance, body mass index, and inflammation.”

“It remains unknown whether these levels are sufficient for optimal immunological functioning. A large meta-analysis of 32 studies, spanning nearly 50 years, suggests that 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels below 30 ng/mL are associated with a higher risk of death from all causes.”

“Dr. Bruce Ames' Triage Theory Dr. Ames proposed that the body does a strategic rationing so that those proteins and enzymes in the body which are essential for short-term survival get their share of vitamins and minerals at the expense of other proteins and enzymes that are essential for long-term survival.”

“Dr. Patrick also discusses STEP 5, in which two years of treatment produced about 15.2 percent loss versus 2.6 percent with placebo, with the curve leveling while participants remained on treatment. Dual GIP/GLP-1 therapy can produce still larger losses in some trials.”
