“Moreover, taking mega doses (i.e. 400 IU/day) of alpha tocopherol has the unintended side-effect of actually depleting tissue levels of another important form of vitamin E that plays an anti-inflammatory role, known as gamma tocopherol.”

“Dr. Rhonda Patrick – who wears a continuous glucose monitor – has found that her post-smoothie blood glucose levels are markedly lower when her smoothie contains moringa powder. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick shares anecdotal evidence that moringa reduces blood glucose levels.”

“Her practical message is to reduce the frequency and size of large glucose exposures. Foods with intact fiber, protein, and minimally processed carbohydrates digest more slowly than refined added sugar, while regular exercise gives skeletal muscle a large destination for circulating glucose.”

“Sure, those dates on the calendar pass at the same rate for everybody, but some people appear to age slower (or faster) than others – with vastly different age-related physical changes and disease risks.”

“For example, growing up in an overly hygienic environment increases a child's risk for developing autoimmune diseases, but exposure to dirt, especially from soil, pets, and roaches, in the first year of life may provide protection against asthma and allergy-related skin disease.”

“A smaller comparative study found improved hair density, shaft size, and anagen-follicle proportion with 2 percent ketoconazole shampoo, while its authors called for larger controlled studies. These results support individualized combinations rather than one universal protocol.”

“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.”

“In REDUCE-IT, prescription icosapent ethyl lowered major ischemic events among statin-treated adults with elevated triglycerides, while atrial fibrillation or flutter requiring hospitalization occurred more often in the treatment group.”

“How too much iron can lead to protein aggregation and how vitamin D can prevent it. A program, directed by Gordon, called the Caenorhabditis Intervention Testing Program which tests potential longevity compounds that may extend the lifespan of several different species of worms.”
