“New Scientist article. 02:06:10 - Some people, like Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves, seem to defy aging. 02:08:15 - One 12-ounce can of sugar-sweetened soft drink per day shortened telomere length, corresponding to 4.6 years of biological aging.”

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

“Cells could be programmed to behave and function as they ordinarily would but with profound differences in their underlying code and translation apparatus, making them immune to all viruses and even horizontal gene transfer – a boon to preventing the unintentional spread of lab-produced genetics to wild-type organisms.”

“Large randomized controlled trial finds that 70% of women with early-stage invasive breast cancer do not need chemotherapy in addition to hormone therapy based on a genomic test for this type of breast cancer.”

“The race is divided into three stages over three days: The first is a 6.2 mile (10-km) ocean swim, followed by a 90-mile (145-km) cross-country bike ride, with vertical climbs that total 6,000 feet. Stage two is a 171.4-mile (276-km) bike ride, with total vertical climbs of 4,000 feet.”

“Exposure varied widely by region. The Middle East and South Asia had the highest levels of several DEHP metabolites, including mono (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate at 19.460 micromoles per liter—six times higher than levels in Europe.”

“elegans, a type of roundworm, to four different concentrations of BBP: 1, 10, 100, and 500 micromolar. Then, they measured the chemical's effects on the worms' chromosomes and cell structure while tracking its metabolism into two primary byproducts: monobutyl phthalate and monobenzyl phthalate.”

“Based on findings from more recent studies using stable isotopes, which more accurately assess muscle protein anabolism and catabolism, Dr. Phillips believes that eating 1.2 to 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight (about 0.5 to 0.7 grams per pound) is likely optimal for muscle protein synthesis, especially as one ages.”

“For example, a prospective study involving more than 20,000 healthy males found that those who ate one to two servings of fish twice a week had a lower risk of sudden cardiac death than those who ate fish less than once a month, likely due to the omega-3s found in fish.”

“01:36:35 - How increased muscle mass helps achieve lower blood sugar levels – reducing overall mortality – and the potential for suboptimal glycemic control long before doctors identify it. 01:52:28 - Peter's 80% zone 2 / 20% VO2 max training protocol.”
