Dr. Kelly Starrett joins Dr. Rhonda Patrick to discuss building a durable body, reclaiming lost mobility, and raising more resilient young athletes.

“The pattern remained after the researchers excluded vegans: among non-vegan participants, eating eggs 5 or more times per week was again associated with a 27% lower rate of Alzheimer's diagnosis compared with never or rare intake.”

“The researchers showed, for the first time, that striatal dysfunction was effective in distinguishing schizophrenia patients and that such dysfunction was also responsible for poorer antipsychotic response.”

“The study has limitations. Dementia was identified from health insurance records rather than detailed clinical exams, and booster analyses included only those who completed most of the initial training, which could introduce bias.”

“Reversing the Cardiac Effects of Sedentary Aging in Middle Age—A Randomized Controlled Trial - In sedentary middle-aged adults, 2 years of regular exercise improved heart function and reduced heart stiffness, potentially lowering future heart failure risk.”

“FTA: > High levels of calcium in blood, a condition known as hypercalcaemia, can be used by GPs as an early indication of certain types of cancer, according to a study by researchers from the universities of Bristol and Exeter.”

“Those who took benzodiazepines for six months had an almost double risk of an Alzheimer’s diagnosis. The relationship worked in a dose-dependent manner, meaning that the longer a person took the medications or the higher the dose, the higher the risk of developing Alzheimer’s.”
