“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“He reserves melatonin and phosphatidylserine for jet lag. He presents these as his personal practices. Dr. Attia also reports drinking anywhere from zero to seven or eight alcoholic drinks per week, no more than two in a day and usually with dinner.”

“Dr. Aubrey de Grey is a biomedical gerontologist and the founder of the SENS Research Foundation which aims to find technologies that can repair the various types of damage that occur during the aging process. Learn more about Dr. Aubrey De Grey SENS Research Foundation.”

“Researchers have determined that beta-hydroxybutyrate is an endogenous regulator of HDACs and is able to regulate age-related genes such as FOXO3. In this clip, Dr. Eric Verdin discusses the role of beta-hydroxybutyrate in protecting against oxidative stress, both as a nutrient, but also as a transcription regulator.”

“Another study suggests that intermittent fasting combined with exercise training increased serum ketone levels, increased the number of mitochondria in muscle cells, and improved endurance. In this clip, Dr. Mark Mattson describes how fasting and exercise work together to promote brain health.”

“Premenopausal females have much lower rates of cardiovascular disease than similarly aged males because of the protective effects of estrogen, but after menopause, there's not much of a difference, and cardiometabolic risk factors actually worsen in females during the menopause transition, indicating this may be a crucial time for exercise intervention to protect the cardiovascular system.”

“An enriched marine-oil study produced time- and dose-dependent increases in specialized pro-resolving mediators and altered blood-cell responses over 24 hours; it tested biomarkers, not disease prevention. Exercise, sauna, and cruciferous vegetables act through different pathways.”

“In this video, Dr. Darya & Kevin Rose talk about beta-hydroxybutyrate, an endogenous ketone body that increases in concentration during times of fasting or carbohydrate restriction. Beta-hydroxybutyrate also increases during a fasting-mimicking diet, which is a time of temporary period of calorie and protein restriction that generates many of the same biochemical effects of prolonged fasting.”
