“In this clip, Drs. Levine and Patrick discuss genetic and environmental factors that can accelerate or slow epigenetic aging. Dr. Levine also discusses the aging clock she created and how it can be used, along with other biomarkers, to determine an individual's rate of aging.”

“Evidence continues to emerge that illustrates that the fasting-mimicking diet, particularly its ability to cause immune cell turnover, may provide beneficial effects in the treatment of auto-immune diseases such as multiple sclerosis.”

“In a clinical trial, researchers subjected people to three cycles of a fasting-mimicking diet and measured biomarkers including cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting glucose, IGF-1, blood pressure, and C-reactive protein.”

“A commonly observed behavior among mammals is the so-called "sickness behavior," where a person or animal that is sick will retreat, avoiding food and contact. This abstention from food induces autophagy and may serve as a means to modulate the body's inflammatory response.”

“For people seeking better-supported ways to improve inflammatory health, she points to regular exercise, marine omega-3 intake, and sulforaphane-rich foods as practical areas with a larger human evidence base.”

“Fiber plays a pivotal role in fueling good bacteria in the gut, which produce compounds that keep the immune system in check and prevent autoimmune responses. Research suggests that maintaining a protective mucin layer in the gut helps restrict the release of endotoxin from intestinal bacteria, a major source of inflammation.”

“Visceral fat can respond to changes in energy balance and physical activity. A meta-analysis of 40 randomized trials and 2,190 adults with overweight or obesity found that both exercise and calorie restriction reduced CT- or MRI-measured visceral fat.”

“A large dose-response meta-analysis of prospective studies found that greater non-occupational physical activity was associated with lower risks of total cancer and several site-specific cancers, with meaningful benefits appearing below current guideline levels.”

“Osimertinib, for example, improved five-year survival among patients with resected EGFR-mutated lung cancer, while CAR-T therapy has produced durable remissions in some children and young adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.”

“Mouse studies of feeding during infection also found different responses across bacterial and viral models, so a minimally processed dietary pattern, regular exercise, and normal hydration and nutrition during illness provide a more useful foundation than one universal food or fasting rule.”
