Related Episodes for Omega-3 may be anabolic at higher dosages

“Based on findings from more recent studies using stable isotopes, which more accurately assess muscle protein anabolism and catabolism, Dr. Phillips believes that eating 1.2 to 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight (about 0.5 to 0.7 grams per pound) is likely optimal for muscle protein synthesis, especially as one ages.”

“Candidates include vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, and TA-65, a product that purportedly contains extracts of astragalus membranaceus, a plant-based compound that demonstrates immunomodulatory, anti-oxidative stress, and anti-aging effects, the latter of which are associated with longer telomeres.”

“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.”

“Nutritional status plays a critical role in aging. Emerging evidence now suggests that supplemental omega-3 fatty acids or vitamin D slow epigenetic aging. In this clip, Dr. Steve Horvath describes evidence suggesting that supplemental vitamin D or omega-3 fatty acids slow epigenetic aging.”

“Red yeast rice lowers LDL through monacolin K, which is chemically identical to lovastatin, so it shares statin-related mechanisms and requires attention to potency, contamination, medicine interactions, and muscle or liver effects.”

“Dr. Schoenfeld says the situation is likely more complex and nuanced. For example, a marathon runner will have difficulty with hypertrophy, probably due to overtraining rather than intracellular signaling negatively affecting muscle development.”

“FGF21 is a preliminary liver-brain signal in this discussion. A small human laboratory study found a robust rise in serum FGF21 after a two-hour alcohol self-administration session in 16 people with alcohol use disorder; it did not test exercise or craving treatment.”

“Beyond its role in sexual development, testosterone is important for overall health, influencing mood, energy levels, and even cognitive function. Testosterone is also a highly contested topic, especially in the context of resistance exercise, lifestyle, and managing low testosterone.”

“In this Aliquot, cardiologist Ben Levine, nutritional scientist and champion powerlifter Layne Norton, and I discuss the importance of recovery, how best to approach it, and some surprising, often overlooked aspects of this important part of fitness.”

“Part 3 of this series focuses on maximizing and maintaining muscle mass—an essential part of long-term health and fitness—with insights from exercise physiologist and nutrition expert Dr. Luc van Loon and exercise scientist Layne Norton.”
