“If your magnesium levels are inadequate, then your ability to boost mitochondrial number during HIT will be dampened, thus, compromising performance and the mitochondrial mass you would have otherwise gained as a consequence of your hard work and effort.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick answers audience questions on various health, nutrition, and science topics in this Q&A session.

“Dr. Patrick uses skin thickness as a simple buying framework: thin-skinned produce such as strawberries and apples receives more priority for organic purchasing than avocados, bananas, or oranges with peels that are removed.”

“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.”

“In a previous episode, entitled "Maximizing Your Mitochondria with Magnesium," we learned that 45% of the US population is deficient in magnesium and the important role magnesium plays in mitochondrial function and how this relates to exercise performance by ensuring your muscle cells have the highest oxidative capacity (ability to produce ATP or "energy") possible.”

“Controlled studies have found higher overnight glucose after an identical dinner eaten at 10 PM instead of 6 PM and a larger glucose response when food intake occurs close to habitual bedtime during elevated endogenous melatonin.”

“A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that there's a correlation between nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management and having longer telomeres. Identifying the mechanisms that drive these correlations has proven challenging, but a few candidates stand out, including improvements in immune function and metabolic health.”

“The fact that poor sleep is linked with the aggregation of amyloid-beta plaques in the brain and Alzheimer's disease is not surprising. Although some strategies for improving the quality of sleep among people with Alzheimer's have been identified, this might be too late to turn the tide of cognitive decline.”

“In this clip, Dr. Michael Snyder discusses how people age in distinct ways and at varying rates and how knowing our "ageotype" might offer targets for preventing age-related diseases.”

“In this clip, Drs. Levine and Patrick discuss definitions of aging used in science and why biological aging matters to scientists. Dr. Levine shares the hallmarks of aging that help researchers determine someone's biological age, what drives accelerated aging, and what epigenetic modifications such as CpG methylation say about the aging process.”
