“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.”

“Reducing our late-night exposure to blue light is crucial for a good night's sleep. Limiting screen time or wearing blue light-filtering glasses can help. In this clip, Dr. David Sinclair describes his personal sleep habits for optimal performance during his workday.”

“In a two-year trial of 237 postmenopausal women, approximately 9 to 10 grams per day combined with resistance training and walking did not add a bone-density benefit, so its role is better framed around muscle and physical function.”

“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.”

“One of the mechanisms behind the beneficial effects of exercise is its ability to induce autophagy in skeletal muscle and, potentially, other organs. In this clip, Dr. Guido Kroemer describes the anti-diabetes and anti-obesity effects of exercise-induced autophagy.”
