Related Episodes for How Late-Night Eating and Poor Sleep Disrupt Blood Sugar

“In a study in which fasting mice were provided either caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee in drinking water, autophagy was observed in the liver, muscle, and heart just four hours after consumption. In this clip, Dr. Guido Kroemer discusses the autophagy-inducing qualities of coffee.”

“Dr. Rhonda Patrick – who wears a continuous glucose monitor – has found that her post-smoothie blood glucose levels are markedly lower when her smoothie contains moringa powder. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick shares anecdotal evidence that moringa reduces blood glucose levels.”

“Dom's efforts at teasing out the differences between induced nutritional ketosis (through a low carbohydrate, high fat diet) and ketosis from the dietary introduction of exogenous ketones, like beta-hydroxybutyrate, especially in the context of therapeutic and performance enhancing effects.”

“Her practical message is to reduce the frequency and size of large glucose exposures. Foods with intact fiber, protein, and minimally processed carbohydrates digest more slowly than refined added sugar, while regular exercise gives skeletal muscle a large destination for circulating glucose.”

“Wearable-device research in more than 25,000 adults who reported no structured exercise linked about three one- to two-minute vigorous bouts per day with substantially lower all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality.”

“Epigenetic clocks may provide a means of explaining these and other differential aging rates. In this clip, Dr. Steve Horvath discusses how traditional biomarkers of health and age don't correlate well with epigenetic age.”

“In a randomized crossover study of 18 young men with overweight or obesity, ten three-minute walking or squat breaks spaced every 45 minutes across 8.5 hours lowered post-meal glucose exposure more than uninterrupted sitting or one continuous 30-minute walk.”

“In a ten-week randomized trial of 16 men with overweight or obesity, high-intensity training produced greater improvements than continuous aerobic training in peak VO2, glucose-tolerance-derived insulin-sensitivity measures, and muscle mitochondrial content.”

“Across standardized risk reductions, the models associated one vigorous minute with roughly 4.1 moderate minutes for all-cause mortality, 7.8 minutes for cardiovascular mortality, 5.4 minutes for major cardiovascular events, and 9.4 minutes for incident type 2 diabetes.”

“Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses how conditioning the body to heat stress through sauna use, called "hyperthermic conditioning" may cause adaptations that increase athletic endurance (by increasing plasma volume and blood flow to heart and muscles) and potentially even muscle mass. She also discusses the profound effects of hyperthermic conditioning on the brain including cognitive function.”
