“Consensus evidence supports ApoB as a causal risk factor, but Dr. Attia’s proposed 10–30 mg/dL physiological range and treatment targets are attributed opinions, not universal guideline targets. Diet can change ApoB through several pathways.”

“Approximately 25 percent of people living in the United States carry a genetic variant of this lipoprotein called APOE4, which is associated with higher circulating levels of LDL cholesterol and an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease.”

“Dr. Krauss explains how some people might be inappropriately prescribed statins while other people should be taking statins. In addition, his current research is investigating whether statins can increase the risk of diabetes, especially for women.”

“Dr. Aubrey de Grey is a biomedical gerontologist and the founder of the SENS Research Foundation which aims to find technologies that can repair the various types of damage that occur during the aging process. Learn more about Dr. Aubrey De Grey SENS Research Foundation.”

“Researchers have determined that beta-hydroxybutyrate is an endogenous regulator of HDACs and is able to regulate age-related genes such as FOXO3. In this clip, Dr. Eric Verdin discusses the role of beta-hydroxybutyrate in protecting against oxidative stress, both as a nutrient, but also as a transcription regulator.”

“For instance, while the U.S. has high obesity rates, its rates of type 2 diabetes remain modest compared to countries like Singapore, India, and many Middle Eastern nations—populations that, on average, tend to have "fatter fat cells" and therefore develop metabolic complications at lower body mass indices (BMIs).”

“Practicing the skills they acquire with resources available in the community — a personal trainer or a group class will allow them to reap the benefits of exercise. People are encouraged to try a variety of activities, which can improve their enjoyment and compliance.”

“Another study suggests that intermittent fasting combined with exercise training increased serum ketone levels, increased the number of mitochondria in muscle cells, and improved endurance. In this clip, Dr. Mark Mattson describes how fasting and exercise work together to promote brain health.”

“Premenopausal females have much lower rates of cardiovascular disease than similarly aged males because of the protective effects of estrogen, but after menopause, there's not much of a difference, and cardiometabolic risk factors actually worsen in females during the menopause transition, indicating this may be a crucial time for exercise intervention to protect the cardiovascular system.”

“An enriched marine-oil study produced time- and dose-dependent increases in specialized pro-resolving mediators and altered blood-cell responses over 24 hours; it tested biomarkers, not disease prevention. Exercise, sauna, and cruciferous vegetables act through different pathways.”
