“Autophagy is a cellular defense mechanism that gathers protein aggregates, pathogens, and damaged or dysfunctional organelles into vesicles within the cell and then delivers them for destruction. Subsequently, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids are released for energy and re-use.”

The video serves as a companion to our 15-page Sprouting Guide (https://www.foundmyfitness.com/sprouting) + Q&A with Dr. Jed Fahey (https://www.foundmyfitness.com/episodes/jed-fahey-q-a) – an illustrated manual to the basics of sprouting that includes a brief summary of the science of sulforaphane plus insights from one of the top researchers in the field of chemoprotection.

“Large treadmill cohorts associate higher measured fitness with lower mortality, while a 46-year study of middle-aged men linked the highest fitness category with about 4.9 additional estimated life-years compared with the lowest category.”

“In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on The Tim Ferriss Show, she describes VO2 max as a practical measure of cardiorespiratory fitness and explains why vigorous intervals can create a stronger cardiovascular training stimulus.”

“Dr. Patrick describes strategies you can apply immediately to enhance cellular health, protect the nervous system, elevate mood, reduce inflammation, promote muscle and bone function, and help prevent chronic disease.”

“Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) plays a role during childhood for growth and continues later in life to have anabolic and neurotrophic effects. IGF-1 is also implicated in contributing to aging and enhancing the growth of cancer after it has been initiated.”

“Few topics come up in their discussion where Dr. Fahey doesn't have an anecdote about a study he was involved in, or, in some cases, "tribal knowledge" that may not even be published but is nonetheless interesting and an important part of the story that is unique to his particular vantage point.”

“Because red blood cells turn over slowly, the test provides a longer-term view of marine omega-3 status than a recent meal and gives people a measurable way to evaluate diet or supplementation.”

“A later Framingham analysis followed 2,240 adults for 11 years and found that a red-cell fatty acid model including the Omega-3 Index predicted all-cause mortality about as well as a model using several standard cardiovascular risk factors.”
