Ketone supplementation as a possible treatment for neurodegenerative diseases | Dominic D'Agostino
“Nutritional ketosis, achieved by following a high fat, low carbohydrate diet, has therapeutic effects for a broad range of neurological disorders, particularly seizures. To aid with his research in this area, Dr. D'Agostino is developing ketone supplements – ketone esters and ketone mineral salts.”

Iron levels in breast milk are low (what this means for breast feeding longer than 6 months) | Biology of Breast Milk
“By the age of six months, however, infants can develop iron-deficiency anemia, so introducing iron-rich foods in addition to breast milk is recommended. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick explains why iron levels in breast milk are low.”

Morgan Levine, PhD, on PhenoAge and the Epigenetics of Age Acceleration: Can We Change the Pace?
“These seemingly benign processes carry significant biological clout, influencing the way DNA strands are packaged into chromosomes and ultimately turning on or off gene expression to control growth and development.”
Aliquot #4: Exercise, Inflammation and Depression
