Related Episodes for Rhonda Patrick discusses sauna use associated with lowering risk for dementia and heart disease

“Drinking two to three cups per day is linked to roughly a 60% reduced risk of developing diabetes, a statistic that highlights coffee's robust metabolic benefits that arise from its ability to activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a critical regulator of cellular energy metabolism.”

Dan Pardi: Ph.D. candidate studying sleep neurobiology at Stanford and University of Leiden, co-founder of Dan’s Plan online wellness company.

“Dom's efforts at teasing out the differences between induced nutritional ketosis (through a low carbohydrate, high fat diet) and ketosis from the dietary introduction of exogenous ketones, like beta-hydroxybutyrate, especially in the context of therapeutic and performance enhancing effects.”

“Dr. Huberman contrasts these with effortful pursuits, but this is a conceptual analogy rather than evidence that screens or color produce drug-equivalent dopamine changes. Large peaks can be followed by reduced drive while signaling recovers.”

“Aging in tumor tissue is markedly accelerated, however – an indicator of the perturbed metabolic and growth processes observed in cancer. In this clip, Dr. Steve Horvath discusses correlations between epigenetic aging and age-related chronic diseases.”

“For example, growing up in an overly hygienic environment increases a child's risk for developing autoimmune diseases, but exposure to dirt, especially from soil, pets, and roaches, in the first year of life may provide protection against asthma and allergy-related skin disease.”

“In 27 men with metabolic syndrome, four four-minute intervals near 90 percent of peak heart rate improved VO2 max more than work-matched moderate exercise. A two-year randomized trial used a broader progressive program in healthy, sedentary adults around age 53.”

“In particular, he monitors his ketone levels, both upon waking and following exercise. Tim maintains that not everyone processes ketones to the same extent, and he prefers to tailor his ketone level to allow maximal mental clarity.”

“In REDUCE-IT, prescription icosapent ethyl lowered major ischemic events among statin-treated adults with elevated triglycerides, while atrial fibrillation or flutter requiring hospitalization occurred more often in the treatment group.”

“An emerging strategy in the prevention and (possibly) treatment of neurodegenerative diseases is starving cells as a means to induce general autophagy to help rid the cell of protein aggregates.”
