Q&A
“The discussion of fiber and nutrient or supplement absorption begins at 19:38. The Oats and beta-glucan topic provides the wider cholesterol evidence and explains why whole oats, beta-glucan powder, and psyllium should not be compared solely by their serving weights.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses urolithin A, postmenopausal protein, microplastics, high-temperature saunas, sugar intake, and supplements for Parkinson's disease.

Clip
“In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on The School of Greatness, she explains how she narrows a long supplement routine to three priorities: marine omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and sulforaphane.”
Episode
“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.”
Clip
“Human trials suggest that alpha-lipoic acid can modestly improve selected lipid measures. A dose-response meta-analysis of 12 studies found reductions in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides across doses from 300 to 1,200 milligrams per day.”
Clip
“Similarly, the timing of eating and exercise, especially in elite athletes, has not been studied and may, in fact, require self-experimentation by the athletes as they find the perfect interval of fasting to support their optimal performance.”
Episode
“A 12-month randomized controlled trial found that vitamin D supplementation improved cognitive function, intelligence quotient scores, telomere length, and lowered oxidative stress markers in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (compared to placebo), suggesting that not only does vitamin D supplementation improve biomarkers of aging, but also functional outcomes.”
Clip
“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.”
