Dr. Ruth Patterson discusses the role of fasting in the prevention and survivorship of breast cancer.

“Even though the primary endpoints failed (NR did not improve insulin sensitivity or weight loss), he notes a meaningful signal in reduced liver fat—a 2% decrease in the NR group compared to a 0.2% reduction in the placebo group, a difference that didn't reach statistical significance, likely because subjects weren't randomized by liver fat and variability was high.”

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

“Although the findings of a large meta-analysis published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine indicated that there was no evidence to support the notion that consumption of saturated fat increased the risk of heart disease, the studies on which their conclusions were based were primarily observational.”

“A few examples of genes with common polymorphism discussed are MTHFR and folate, NBPF3 and vitamin B6, FUT2 and vitamin B12, BCMO1 and beta-carotene, FADS2 and omega-3 fatty acids, CYP2R1 and vitamin D, PEMT and choline as well as APOE4 and FOXO3.”

“A proponent of the preventative health value of aggressively collecting data, Dr. Snyder's story is illustrative because, without his tracking of glucose, he may not have realized when the point at which his personal glucose management warranted seeking medical attention, potentially putting him at risk of more long-term deleterious effects.”

“With its focus on prevention, personalized medicine entails collecting deep molecular measurements when a person is healthy and tracking these measurements over time. In this clip, Dr. Michael Snyder discusses his views on how personalized medicine is the way of the future.”

“- Rhonda. 00:52:27 - Begin discussion of new study where the authors were able to demonstrate with an accuracy of around 96% the ability to predict a person's age within 4 years by the methylation pattern of their genome alone.”

“Biotechnology may have a special potential to create change across generations, as it has done with the global eradication of smallpox – a vaccine that ceased mainstream use in the 1970s. Synthetic biology, with its potential to eradicate viral illnesses, could usher in an era of global progress.”

“Additionally, we also discuss the important role magnesium plays in preventing random mutations. "Men with the highest quartile of magnesium levels have a 40% decrease in all-cause mortality and a 50% decrease in deaths from cancer.".”
