“A growing body of evidence suggests that fat plays a role in the activation of stem cells. Fasting generates molecules such as fatty acids, ketone bodies and glycerol, providing a favorable environment for stem cell activation and renewal.”
Clip
“In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on The Diary of a CEO, she explains that a shorter eating window can make calorie reduction easier, while a longer overnight fast shifts fuel use toward fatty acids and ketones.”
Clip
“In a 12-week randomized crossover trial, a modified ketogenic diet produced sustained physiological ketosis and improved daily function and quality of life compared with a usual diet supplemented with low-fat healthy-eating guidance.”
Episode
“Study. 01:43:00 - High animal protein intake was only positively associated with cardiovascular mortality among individuals with at least one unhealthy lifestyle risk factor, such as obesity or sedentary lifestyle. Study.”
Episode
“00:29:20 - Organs shrink during fasting and then regrow after refeeding. Study. 00:29:45 - Fasting stresses healthy cells so they increase their stress-response pathways, including heat shock proteins, antioxidant production, and anti-inflammatory.”
Clip
“However, the triad of the ketogenic diet, a fasting-mimicking diet, and standard of care treatments (such as chemotherapy or immunotherapy) holds promise for particularly aggressive phenotypes, such as gliomas.”
Clip
“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.”
