“The impact of the ketogenic diet on gut bacteria has not been actively studied. In animal models high-fat diets are thought to provoke the release of endotoxin from bacterial cell membranes resulting in negative health consequences. In this clip, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino and Dr. Rhonda Patrick discuss the ketogenic diet and its implications for gut health.”

“Moreover, taking mega doses (i.e. 400 IU/day) of alpha tocopherol has the unintended side-effect of actually depleting tissue levels of another important form of vitamin E that plays an anti-inflammatory role, known as gamma tocopherol.”

“Resveratrol, a plant-based compound found in red grapes and peanuts, has been shown to exert beneficial health effects – especially on the cardiovascular system of monkeys. Resveratrol is a "dirty molecule," however, known for its multiple cellular targets, so teasing out all the ramifications of its use has proven problematic.”

“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.”

“In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on Modern Wisdom, she explains how a large post-meal glucose rise and fall can contribute to the sluggish feeling people call brain fog. Food order offers one practical lever.”

“While some forms of Parkinson's disease are genetic, most cases involve a complex interaction between genetic and environmental risk factors. In the early 1980s, intravenous drug users inadvertently injected a contaminated drug and developed parkinsonian symptoms overnight.”

“Dr. Mattson contends that unstressed cells become complacent, making them more vulnerable to the stressors that cause disease, including oxidative stress and inflammation. In modern times, fasting and exercise are behaviors that mildly stress cells.”

“These events are recapitulated in both exercise and sauna, providing a potential explanation for the sleep-inducing effects of the two activities. In this clip, Dr. Matthew Walker explains how sleep and sauna may induce sleep through their short-term pro-inflammatory effects.”

“Patients assigned to supervised exercise during neoadjuvant chemoradiation, followed by continued activity before surgery, were more likely to achieve a complete or near-complete pathological response than those receiving usual care.”

“Genetics plays an important role in longevity, but there is also a strong lifestyle component. Dr. Snyder's research, using deep molecular measurements, indicates that when you exercise, a profound molecular change occurs — particularly when it comes to immune molecules.”
