“In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on Modern Wisdom, she explains how a large post-meal glucose rise and fall can contribute to the sluggish feeling people call brain fog. Food order offers one practical lever.”

“The human body can convert some ALA into EPA and then to DHA, but the efficiency of the process varies between individuals. In this clip, Rich Roll and Dr. Rhonda Patrick discuss how those on a vegan diet can determine whether they are getting enough omega-3 fatty acids.”

“Recent studies have identified a connection between an impaired interferon response and severe COVID-19 disease. Strategies that increase the body's core temperature – analogous to having a fever – may be beneficial early in COVID-19 illness.”

“In a two-year trial of 237 postmenopausal women, approximately 9 to 10 grams per day combined with resistance training and walking did not add a bone-density benefit, so its role is better framed around muscle and physical function.”

“In this excerpt from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's A4M LongevityFest 2023 keynote, she argues that vigorous exercise is one of the most powerful tools for healthy aging because it can raise cardiorespiratory fitness.”

“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.”

“Controlled human studies support acute brain-related responses to high-intensity exercise. Six short all-out cycling intervals improved selected learning and executive measures while increasing circulating BDNF, IGF-1, and VEGF; lactate tracked several of these changes.”

“Studies of centenarians suggest that lower levels of inflammation are associated with longevity. Different types of fiber provide fuel to diverse species of bacteria in the gut, which then synthesize byproducts that regulate the inflammatory process.”

“Dr. Patrick recommends vigorous intervals when moderate training does not improve an individual’s VO2 max and presents repeated one-minute efforts and the Norwegian 4-by-4 as practical options.”

“Dr. Patrick explains some of the early evidence that suggests the value prolonged fasting (48+ hours) may have from the standpoint of tissue rejuvenation and healthspan maintenance, as well as relevance for other more specific conditions.”
