“In this Aliquot, I walk through how that plays out in humans, where the strongest evidence shows up, and where it doesn't, with NAD researcher Dr. Charles Brenner—and why I'm taking it now after being skeptical.”
“Physical activity, sleep, light exposure, heat, and certain nutrients may all affect systems involved in mood regulation, including inflammation, circadian rhythms, neuroplasticity, and brain energy metabolism. In this Aliquot, Drs.”
“Modulating autophagy – through fasting and exercise (which both increase acetyl CoA) or intake of nutrients like spermidine – represents a promising therapeutic approach for extending human lifespan and healthspan.”
“It has attracted interest for its potential to activate mitophagy, the process cells use to clear out damaged mitochondria. In this Aliquot, I explain why mitochondrial cleanup matters for aging, why urolithin A production varies, and what early human studies suggest about its potential benefits.”
“Because some long-chain PFAS travel through a similar pathway, researchers are now asking whether beta-glucans might also help the body eliminate these persistent "forever chemicals."”
“A more useful approach is to focus on what you can do to reduce its effects. In this Aliquot, Dr. Kelly Starrett explains why standing more is not enough, how to build movement into your workday, and why it matters for long-term mobility.”
“The timing of eating and exercise, especially in elite athletes, hasn't been studied and may, in fact, require self-experimentation by the athletes to identify the perfect interval of fasting to support their optimal performance.”
“But exercise — especially intense exercise — can also help to manage the symptoms once the disease develops. These Aliquot segments feature Dr. Giselle Petzinger, a board-certified neurologist who specializes in the care of patients with Parkinson's disease.”
“The decline of deep sleep begins early in life, nearly disappears by age 80, increasing the risk for Alzheimer's disease. These Aliquot segments feature Dr. Charles Raison, a professor of psychiatry, and Dr. Matthew Walker, a professor of neuroscience and psychology.”
“Cholesterol is vital to human health, but an oversimplified view of cholesterol — that high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is good, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is bad — has led to a gross misunderstanding of the nuances that define the differences in cholesterol-containing lipoproteins.”
