“Small trials in older adults and people with mild cognitive concerns have reported improvements in selected memory, processing-speed, or task-switching measures, although the response varies by study, product, population, and outcome.”

“- Brad Schoenfeld, Ph.D. Highlighting a certain hypocrisy, Dr. Schoenfeld points out that while most parents won't blanch at their children participating in sports that are characterized by real risks of injury, they will often worry themselves unnecessarily about resistance training, which has fewer risks.”

“In this clip, Dr. Ruth Patterson discusses how healthful choices, such as even modest weight loss, can have beneficial effects that reduce the risk of breast cancer and a variety of other diseases.”

“He observed that in most cases, metabolic rates were a reflection of body mass and closely tracked estimations from predictive equations. In this clip, Dr. Ray Cronise emphasizes the importance of diet to improve healthspan rather than employing tricks to boost metabolic rate.”

“In this video Dr. Rhonda Patrick interviews Dr. Bruce Ames about his triage theory, which he proposes that the body has developed a rationing response to shortages of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) throughout evolution.”

“Dr. Norton separates energy balance from calorie tracking: consuming less energy than the body expends is the governing principle, while logging food is one optional way to estimate maintenance intake and understand current habits.”

“Additionally, we also discuss the important role magnesium plays in preventing random mutations. "Men with the highest quartile of magnesium levels have a 40% decrease in all-cause mortality and a 50% decrease in deaths from cancer.".”

“Autophagy is thought to be part of a coordinated biological process that is important for exposing cancer cells to the immune system, ultimately leading to their weakening and death. However, the relationship between autophagy and cancer is complicated.”

“Recent human studies indicate that the fewer carbohydrates one eats, the lower the risk of death from all causes. In this clip, Dr. Eric Verdin explains the importance of the insulin signaling pathway in aging and highlights both animal and human research in this area.”

“Known for his work in the field of muscle physiology and aging, Dr. McGlory's research focuses on elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying muscle protein synthesis and degradation, with a particular emphasis on the roles that omega-3 fatty acids play in maintaining muscle health in older adults.”
