“Whereas fasting turns off multiple pathways associated with aging, such as mTOR and IGF-1, eating for optimal fitness activates these important processes. The IGF-1 pathway, in particular, plays key roles in growth and is strongly associated with cancer.”

“In a randomized crossover trial, a standardized ashwagandha extract produced a modest testosterone increase in overweight men with mild fatigue, while a meta-analysis of five tongkat ali trials found a positive pooled effect with substantial variation across studies.”

“Randomized trials and a meta-analysis show that at least three grams of oat beta-glucan per day can lower LDL by about five to seven percent, with high-molecular-weight products producing the most consistent effects.”

“A separate trial of 153 adults found that smartphone-based mindfulness training combining attention monitoring with acceptance reduced daily loneliness and increased social interactions compared with monitoring alone or an active control.”

“Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses how conditioning the body to heat stress through sauna use, called "hyperthermic conditioning" may cause adaptations that increase athletic endurance (by increasing plasma volume and blood flow to heart and muscles) and potentially even muscle mass. She also discusses the profound effects of hyperthermic conditioning on the brain including cognitive function.”

“In this talk, we’ll be exploring the intersection between genetics, nutrition, and environment: how your diet, micronutrients, exercise, heat stress, and sleep can change the expression of your genes and how this has profound effects on the way your body functions and ages.”
