“A common feature of heart disease is arrhythmia, an irregular heartbeat. Interestingly, research in fruit flies has shown that unhealthy lifestyle behaviors, such as poor sleep and diet, increase the risk of developing arrhythmias.”

“In a separate analysis of seven intervention trials involving people with type 2 diabetes, HbA1c fell by about 0.71 percentage points, total cholesterol by 23 mg/dL, and LDL cholesterol by 22 mg/dL.”

“Caloric restriction is a sustained reduced intake of approximately 30 percent fewer calories than one would typically eat, whereas periodic fasting is a more extreme deficit, but only for a short duration.”

“In this FoundMyFitness interview clip, Dr. Peter Attia explains that early detection can reduce the burden of disease available to mutate and evade treatment, but screening carries financial, procedural, and false-positive harms.”

“These transient stressors induce the expression of genes that process inflammatory molecules. In this clip, Tim Ferriss and Dr. Rhonda Patrick discuss acute versus chronic inflammation and how supplemental antioxidants can negate some of the benefits of exercise.”

“Disruption of a person’s chronotypic schedule can influence mood, productivity, and disease risk because it may interfere with the duration of their REM sleep, which is essential for emotional well-being.”

“Time-restricted eating, a form of fasting that limits the period during which a person eats to a 12- to 16-hour window, capitalizes on the benefits associated with both fasting and optimization of the body's circadian biology.”

“Acutely, however, caffeine can raise glucose or reduce insulin sensitivity in some people through sympathetic activation, so a short-term glucose response is not identical to the longer-term association. Timing provides the practical answer.”

“Other hormetic responses to cold exposure include increased production of PGC1-alpha, a protein that promotes mitochondrial biogenesis, the production of new, healthy mitochondria, and the activation of brown fat – a phenomenon once thought to occur only in newborns, but now known to occur in adults, especially after cold exposure.”

“Perhaps the most clear-cut examples of cryotherapy’s beneficial effects are observed in the brain, where levels of the hormone and neurotransmitter norepinephrine – responsible for vigilance, attention, focus, and positive mood – increase markedly when the body is exposed to extreme cold.”
