“Removing former drinkers from the non-drinker category reveals a different story: One study observed that the lowest risk for cardiovascular disease (i.e., ischemic heart disease) was right below one standard U.S. drink per week — men and women at this level of consumption had an ~18% lower risk compared to nondrinkers.”

“Dr. Huberman’s practical range is deliberately cautious: not drinking avoids the exposure, and lower weekly intake creates less burden than a drink every night or heavier episodes.”

“Rebuilding muscle relies on proper nutrition and exercise, but aging reduces the body's response to both. Extended periods of inactivity, such as post-surgery or during illness, can rapidly deplete muscle mass, especially in older people, potentially pushing them into a "catabolic crisis."”

“Scientists are exploring a wide range of cutting-edge therapies aimed at understanding and manipulating the complex processes underlying these hallmarks, including epigenetic aging clocks and pluripotent stem cells.”

“In part I of this two-part series on the future of aging research, we discussed the hallmarks of aging and the cutting-edge therapies aimed at understanding and manipulating the complex processes underlying these hallmarks, including epigenetic aging clocks and pluripotent stem cells.”

“Adequate, quality sleep is essential for the body's recovery and repair, promoting optimal physical and mental health. Getting a good night's sleep can be challenging, especially in our modern world, but we can take steps to overcome those challenges. In this Aliquot, we present a mashup of our best resources on sleep, featuring insights from Dr. Matthew Walker, Dr. Satchin Panda, and me.”

“A May 2025 Nature paper showed taurine uptake may fuel aggressive myeloid leukemias in laboratory and mouse models, illustrating how nutrients beneficial to healthy tissues may also feed certain cancers.”

“In this Aliquot, Drs. Peter Attia, Stuart Phillips, Morgan Levine, Brad Schoenfeld, Michael Snyder, Valter Longo, Martin Gibala, George Church, as well as Kevin and Darya Rose and myself, share our strategies for finding our fitness.”

“Martin Gibala, Bill Harris, and Peter Attia about three proven ways to promote health and longevity: boosting cardiorespiratory fitness, ensuring you're getting plenty of omega-3 fatty acids, and maintaining healthy blood glucose levels.”

“For example, sulforaphane promotes the urinary excretion of benzene and acrolein, toxic compounds present in air pollution. But sulforaphane also demonstrates remarkable antibacterial activity: It reduces populations of Helicobacter pylori, or H.”
