“In a separate analysis of seven intervention trials involving people with type 2 diabetes, HbA1c fell by about 0.71 percentage points, total cholesterol by 23 mg/dL, and LDL cholesterol by 22 mg/dL.”

“I am simply choosing not to blend them into my blueberry smoothie when the goal is to maximize polyphenol exposure.".(https://www.foundmyfitness.com/episodes/blueberry-solocast)'] A 2023 banana-smoothie study caught Rhonda's attention because the effect was unusually large and the mechanism made biological sense.”

“Dr. Michael Snyder, a recent podcast guest, maintains that closely tracking blood sugar levels with continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), for example, can alert people when their levels reach prediabetic or diabetic ranges.”

“The bar was formulated to be moderate in calories (107 kcal/≈25 g bar), but nutrient dense, with a polyphenolic-rich matrix of fruit, walnuts, and non-alkali-processed dark chocolate, supplemental vitamins, minerals, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a blend of insoluble and soluble fibers, protein, and glutamine.”

“Drinking two to three cups per day is linked to roughly a 60% reduced risk of developing diabetes, a statistic that highlights coffee's robust metabolic benefits that arise from its ability to activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a critical regulator of cellular energy metabolism.”

“Time-restricted eating, a form of fasting that limits the period during which a person eats to a 12- to 16-hour window, capitalizes on the benefits associated with both fasting and optimization of the body's circadian biology.”

“Convincing animal data and preliminary research in patients with early cognitive decline have shown positive outcomes using strategies to overcome insulin resistance. In this clip, Dr. Peter Attia explains his position on the relationship between insulin resistance and Alzheimer’s disease risk.”

“Autophagy is an intracellular degradation system involved in the disassembly and recycling of unnecessary or dysfunctional cellular components. Fasting – even short periods of overnight fasting that occurs during time-restricted eating – induces autophagy, providing a kind of daily maintenance for the body.”

“00:20:21 - Some of the key blood-based biomarkers that are useful for tracking and projecting future cognitive health, including: homocysteine (<7μml/L preferred), which Dr. Bredesen indicates may be a mediator of cerebral atrophy, and also fasting insulin (<5% preferred), hemoglobin A1c, fasting glucose, vitamin D, and a number of other hormones relevant for trophic support.”
