Related Episodes for What Exercise Can—and Cannot—Do for Cancer Risk and Survival

“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.”

“In eight young men, seven days of 1,000 milligrams of NR per day changed selected muscle NAD metabolites but did not alter substrate use, mitochondrial respiration, or signaling involved in adaptation to one hour of endurance exercise.”

“In a randomized factorial design, participants were assigned to one gram per day of algae-derived omega-3 or placebo, 2,000 IU of vitamin D3 or placebo, and a 30-minute home strength program three times weekly or a flexibility control.”

“The Endocrine Society recommends aiming for testosterone concentrations in the mid-normal range while choosing an approved formulation based on patient preference, pharmacokinetics, formulation-specific effects, treatment burden, and cost.”

“A separate trial of 153 adults found that smartphone-based mindfulness training combining attention monitoring with acceptance reduced daily loneliness and increased social interactions compared with monitoring alone or an active control.”

“In later randomized trials, urolithin A improved some laboratory measures of muscle endurance or hamstring strength, but it did not significantly improve key primary outcomes such as six-minute walk distance, muscle ATP production, or peak power.”

“There's a lot of exciting research right now into aging and maximum lifespan, but scientists have really just scratched the surface of the fascinating topic of how to live longer, healthier lives. Relevant Publications Rootzén, Holger, and Dmitrii Zholud.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Fasting can deplete the body's stores of electrolytes, especially during prolonged fasts or during periods of exercise when electrolytes can be lost during sweat. Because electrolytes are non-calories, replenishment does not appear to alter circadian rhythms.”
