“Approximately 25 percent of people in the United States – roughly 75 million people – carry a genetic variant of this lipoprotein called APOE4, which is associated with higher circulating levels of LDL cholesterol and an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease.”

“Microbial responses to individual components of a person's diet may influence host health. Food ingredients, such as artificial sweeteners and dietary emulsifiers, are typically thought to be inert, however, recent evidence suggests they impact gut microbes, ultimately influencing human health.”

“However, she considers the amounts in its proprietary superfood, extract, and probiotic blends too small to justify expecting the broader benefits implied by those categories. She presents this as her assessment of the product label.”

“He reserves melatonin and phosphatidylserine for jet lag. He presents these as his personal practices. Dr. Attia also reports drinking anywhere from zero to seven or eight alcoholic drinks per week, no more than two in a day and usually with dinner.”

“Activation of this important system of immunosurveillance is a predictor of the long-term efficacy of chemotherapy and may help to explain the complex relationship of autophagy with cancer, wherein the initial suppression of autophagy may help prevent attracting undue attention from the immune system, but may later facilitate ongoing transformation.”

“- Axel Montagne, Ph.D. While we await potential breakthroughs in targeting elements of the neurovascular unit in the blood-brain barrier directly with stem cell therapeutics, gene therapies, and other cutting-edge techniques, there are things we can do now to better support vascular health and thereby help maintain the integrity of the blood-brain barrier.”

“For instance, while the U.S. has high obesity rates, its rates of type 2 diabetes remain modest compared to countries like Singapore, India, and many Middle Eastern nations—populations that, on average, tend to have "fatter fat cells" and therefore develop metabolic complications at lower body mass indices (BMIs).”

“Breast milk contains a diverse and highly complex community of microbes that come from a variety of sources. Exposure to this community may contribute to the differences observed in gut microbial populations between breastfed and formula-fed infants. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick describes the unique community of microbes present in human breast milk.”

“Practicing the skills they acquire with resources available in the community — a personal trainer or a group class will allow them to reap the benefits of exercise. People are encouraged to try a variety of activities, which can improve their enjoyment and compliance.”

“Another study suggests that intermittent fasting combined with exercise training increased serum ketone levels, increased the number of mitochondria in muscle cells, and improved endurance. In this clip, Dr. Mark Mattson describes how fasting and exercise work together to promote brain health.”
