“In addition, exercise preferentially causes the brain to take up lactate. Dr. Attia discusses some interesting research from several decades ago that uncovered the shifts in metabolism that occur in the human body and brain upon extreme fasting.”

“Finally, choline is also a precursor for phosphatidylcholine, the major component of all cell membranes, which affects the structure, permeability and function of cells and is particularly important in neurons since it plays a role in general neurotransmission.”

“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.”

“Bottled water can contain very small plastic particles. Using stimulated Raman scattering microscopy, researchers identified roughly 240,000 detectable plastic particles per liter on average across three popular bottled-water brands, most of them nanoplastics.”

“Because red blood cells turn over slowly, the test provides a longer-term view of marine omega-3 status than a recent meal and gives people a measurable way to evaluate diet or supplementation.”

“A later Framingham analysis followed 2,240 adults for 11 years and found that a red-cell fatty acid model including the Omega-3 Index predicted all-cause mortality about as well as a model using several standard cardiovascular risk factors.”

“If your magnesium levels are inadequate, then your ability to boost mitochondrial number during HIT will be dampened, thus, compromising performance and the mitochondrial mass you would have otherwise gained as a consequence of your hard work and effort.”

Dr. Michael Snyder discusses personalized medicine and the use of technologies that monitor metabolism and other health markers.

“A pooled analysis estimated effects of about 0.07 standard deviation for global cognition and 0.06 for episodic memory, providing evidence that a standard multivitamin can support selected cognitive outcomes in some older adults.”

“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.”
