“Whether metformin reduces the risk of cancer in healthy people remains to be seen. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick describes the relationship between metformin and cancer incidence and the relevance for those with type 2 diabetes.”

“Metformin, a drug commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes, has garnered interest as a longevity compound because it was shown to extend lifespan in some animal models. These effects are variable and seem to depend on the age and gender of the animals, as well as the dose provided.”

“Osimertinib, for example, improved five-year survival among patients with resected EGFR-mutated lung cancer, while CAR-T therapy has produced durable remissions in some children and young adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.”

“A large dose-response meta-analysis of prospective studies found that greater non-occupational physical activity was associated with lower risks of total cancer and several site-specific cancers, with meaningful benefits appearing below current guideline levels.”

“While both can be useful (depending on context), they have different implications: much like a person's glucose may fluctuate throughout the day, standard lab measures of omega-3 rely on plasma, biasing them to the content of a recent meal.”

“A single night of poor sleep can impair natural killer cells' activity by as much as 70 percent. In the short term, this can put us at risk for developing acute illnesses like colds and flu, but in the long term, it increases our risk for much more serious threats, such as cancer.”

“Standard metabolic screening still relies on validated laboratory measures such as A1c, fasting plasma glucose, or a two-hour glucose value after a standardized oral glucose tolerance test. Skin changes or unexpected glucose patterns can therefore be useful prompts for a clinical evaluation.”

“In a 12-week randomized crossover trial, a modified ketogenic diet produced sustained physiological ketosis and improved daily function and quality of life compared with a usual diet supplemented with low-fat healthy-eating guidance.”

“Dr. Candow explains why a hormone change within the physiological range cannot by itself establish a hair effect. A later 12-week randomized trial directly measured hormones and hair-follicle outcomes in resistance-trained men taking five grams of creatine per day.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses cancer prevention, linoleic acid, shingles vaccine and dementia, creatine's kidney effects, and shares her overnight oats recipe.
