Dr. Rhonda Patrick answers audience questions on various health, nutrition, and science topics in this Q&A session.

“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.”

“In this video, Dr. Rhonda Patrick interviews Dr. Terry Wahls about how she reversed her secondary-progressive multiple sclerosis with a micronutrient-dense diet and Paleo principles.”

“Global vaccination programs are actively delivering COVID-19 vaccines to people around the world. A recent innovation in vaccinology involves the exploitation of messenger RNA, or mRNA — the intermediate molecule between DNA in the nucleus and proteins in the cell.”

“Traditional vaccines take many years to develop. A recent innovation in vaccine technology involves exploitation of messenger RNA, or mRNA, to facilitate rapid scaling of vaccines and expedite their modification if the virus mutates significantly.”

“To withstand cold temperatures, Wim Hof practices a state of controlled breathing up to the point where hyperventilation occurs. By breathing systematically, he can alter his physiology by decreasing the carbon dioxide level in his blood, raising its pH level. In this clip, Wim Hof discusses how his breathing techniques can affect the body's pH level, yielding potential health benefits.”

“A large series of systematic reviews and meta-analyses found dose-response associations between dietary fiber and lower cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, colorectal cancer, and mortality, with randomized trials also supporting favorable effects on weight, cholesterol, and blood pressure.”

“A healthy intestinal barrier limits the transport of pathogens and endotoxins from the gut to the bloodstream; however, increased gut permeability (known as "leaky gut") raises endotoxin levels, leading to metabolic endotoxemia.”

“Many studies suggest that short-chain fatty acids derived from the gut microbiota promote the expansion of T-regulatory cells, maintain gut barrier function, regulate cytokine production, and support immune cell populations.”
