“Lunch varied among sardines, mackerel, wild salmon, avocado, nuts, fruit, cheese, and quinoa salad, giving her flexible sources of protein, marine fats, fiber, and fermented foods. Dinner typically paired fish, chicken, or occasional beef with vegetables or salad.”

“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.”

“Sure, those dates on the calendar pass at the same rate for everybody, but some people appear to age slower (or faster) than others – with vastly different age-related physical changes and disease risks.”

“However, exercising while taking a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) may blunt the initial rush of acute inflammation and negate some of the long term health effects of exercise.”

“In this excerpt from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's A4M LongevityFest 2023 keynote, she argues that vigorous exercise is one of the most powerful tools for healthy aging because it can raise cardiorespiratory fitness.”

“Controlled human studies support acute brain-related responses to high-intensity exercise. Six short all-out cycling intervals improved selected learning and executive measures while increasing circulating BDNF, IGF-1, and VEGF; lactate tracked several of these changes.”

“Dr. Patrick recommends vigorous intervals when moderate training does not improve an individual’s VO2 max and presents repeated one-minute efforts and the Norwegian 4-by-4 as practical options.”

“Dr. Patrick explains some of the early evidence that suggests the value prolonged fasting (48+ hours) may have from the standpoint of tissue rejuvenation and healthspan maintenance, as well as relevance for other more specific conditions.”

“In this clip, Dr. Valter Longo discusses the origin of the fasting-mimicking diet and a possible future which may lean away from a drug-centered mentality to one which allows the body to heal itself.”

“In particular, he monitors his ketone levels, both upon waking and following exercise. Tim maintains that not everyone processes ketones to the same extent, and he prefers to tailor his ketone level to allow maximal mental clarity.”
