“However, the ability to translate data from non-human animals to humans can be limited and the use of laboratory animals can raise ethical concerns. In this clip, Dr. George Church describes the pros and cons of animal research and how we could move beyond its use with advanced technologies.”

“Researchers in Dr. D'Agostino's laboratory observed a decreased tumor burden and enhanced survival in animals that were provided a ketone supplement, even if they were fed a high-carbohydrate diet.”

“The mechanisms that drive the effects of sauna bathing include activation of heat shock proteins and pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines; decreased blood pressure and arterial stiffness; and multiple improvements in cardiovascular function.”

“However, soon after, they began to secrete anti-inflammatory cytokines, which keep the immune system in check. In this clip, Wim Hof describes how his breathing techniques affect the immune response and its potential use in combating disease.”

“Some researchers have hypothesized that since antihypertensive drugs like ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers, or ARBs, increase ACE2, they might alter the risk of severe COVID-19 disease.”

“Consensus evidence supports ApoB as a causal risk factor, but Dr. Attia’s proposed 10–30 mg/dL physiological range and treatment targets are attributed opinions, not universal guideline targets. Diet can change ApoB through several pathways.”

“Approximately 25 percent of people living in the United States carry a genetic variant of this lipoprotein called APOE4, which is associated with higher circulating levels of LDL cholesterol and an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease.”

“Approximately 25 percent of people in the United States – roughly 75 million people – carry a genetic variant of this lipoprotein called APOE4, which is associated with higher circulating levels of LDL cholesterol and an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease.”

“Dr. Krauss explains how some people might be inappropriately prescribed statins while other people should be taking statins. In addition, his current research is investigating whether statins can increase the risk of diabetes, especially for women.”
