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

“Other studies have explored how NAD supplementation affects global mitochondrial function and DNA damage. In this clip, Dr. Eric Verdin discusses several ways in which NAD+ supplementation can benefit mitochondrial health and play a protective role against aging.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick explores taurine's longevity role, cocoa flavanols, training adaptations, and oral hyaluronic acid in a Q&A.

“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.”

“Whereas fasting turns off multiple pathways associated with aging, such as mTOR and IGF-1, eating for optimal fitness activates these important processes. The IGF-1 pathway, in particular, plays key roles in growth and is strongly associated with cancer.”

“Mitochondrial biogenesis, the formation of new mitochondria within cells, is boosted by exercise to meet heightened energy needs. While all forms of exercise can promote this process, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) might accelerate the surge in mitochondrial content more swiftly than continuous exercise.”

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

“Researchers have observed synergism between the ketogenic diet and hyperbaric oxygen against tumor cells. Moreover, Dr. D'Agostino suggests that ketosis stimulates the immune system, increasing its ability to detect cancer cells.”

“Dr. Mattson cautions against relying on mimetics; rather he recommends exercising, fasting, eating a healthy diet, and keeping the brain engaged as the best strategies for maintaining cognitive health. In this clip, Dr. Mark Mattson discusses the pros and cons of calorie restriction mimetics.”

“In later randomized trials, urolithin A improved some laboratory measures of muscle endurance or hamstring strength, but it did not significantly improve key primary outcomes such as six-minute walk distance, muscle ATP production, or peak power.”
