“Human trials suggest that alpha-lipoic acid can modestly improve selected lipid measures. A dose-response meta-analysis of 12 studies found reductions in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides across doses from 300 to 1,200 milligrams per day.”

“Similarly, the timing of eating and exercise, especially in elite athletes, has not been studied and may, in fact, require self-experimentation by the athletes as they find the perfect interval of fasting to support their optimal performance.”

“Protein before or after exercise can support adaptation, while total daily intake matters most. Third, distribute protein across three or four meals, with older adults often needing 20–30 grams or more per meal, while there is no small hard ceiling.”

“In this video, Dr. Rhonda Patrick interviews Dr. Terry Wahls about how she reversed her secondary-progressive multiple sclerosis with a micronutrient-dense diet and Paleo principles.”

“Time-restricted eating, which involves taking in food within a specific period of the day and fasting for the remainder, can improve certain biomarkers of health - even without weight loss. One theory is that this eating pattern coordinates food intake with the body's peak metabolism period.”

“A national survey analysis estimated 2.6% severe deficiency, 22% moderate deficiency, and 40.9% insufficiency among US adults, although prevalence changes with the threshold used. These categories should remain distinct because insufficiency is not the same as clinical deficiency.”

“A 12-month randomized controlled trial found that vitamin D supplementation improved cognitive function, intelligence quotient scores, telomere length, and lowered oxidative stress markers in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (compared to placebo), suggesting that not only does vitamin D supplementation improve biomarkers of aging, but also functional outcomes.”

“In a four-month randomized trial of 88 overweight, untrained middle-aged adults, daily doses of 500 or 1,000 milligrams improved some muscle and mitochondrial measures, while the primary outcome of peak power did not significantly improve.”

“Peak plasma flavan-3-ol metabolites after the banana smoothie were 84 percent lower than after the capsule, while the low-PPO berry smoothie produced levels similar to the capsule. PPO is released when plant tissue is cut, bruised, or blended and can react with selected polyphenols before they reach circulation.”

“Longer endurance aerobic exercise seems to be most effective at producing higher levels of FGF21, coinciding with anecdotes you might have heard from runners who have successfully used exercise in this sort of way. Relevant publications Flippo, Kyle H., et al.”
