“In a 12-week randomized crossover trial, a modified ketogenic diet produced sustained physiological ketosis and improved daily function and quality of life compared with a usual diet supplemented with low-fat healthy-eating guidance.”

“Mouse studies of feeding during infection also found different responses across bacterial and viral models, so a minimally processed dietary pattern, regular exercise, and normal hydration and nutrition during illness provide a more useful foundation than one universal food or fasting rule.”

“A meta-analysis of 19 randomized trials involving 1,683 participants found modest average improvements, including about seven minutes less time to fall asleep and eight minutes more total sleep. Product quality can make dose selection difficult.”

“A meta-analysis of 49 studies involving 1,863 adults found that protein supplementation during prolonged resistance training produced additional gains in one-repetition maximum strength, fat-free mass, and muscle size compared with training alone.”

“A large meta-analysis found that organic crops tended to contain higher concentrations of several phenolic compounds, lower cadmium, and fewer detectable pesticide residues, but no single nutritional pattern applies to every fruit or vegetable.”

“A second randomized trial found that a single vitamin D3 dose taken with food increased vitamin D status, with a larger rise when the meal contained at least 15 grams of fat. These findings support taking vitamin D with a meal that contains some fat.”

“More than 200 HMOs have been identified, and they are the third most abundant factor in breast milk after fat and lactose. The primary role of HMOs is to serve as prebiotics – compounds that induce the growth or activity of beneficial bacteria.”

“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.”

“Dr. Patrick describes strategies you can apply immediately to enhance cellular health, protect the nervous system, elevate mood, reduce inflammation, promote muscle and bone function, and help prevent chronic disease.”

“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.”
