“BDNF promotes synaptic plasticity and neuronal cell stress resistance while providing protection against the neuronal dysfunction and degeneration that accompanies neurodegenerative disorders.”

“Even so, these findings suggest that where fat is stored may matter more for brain health than body weight alone. In this clip, Dr. Ben Bikman explains the primary causes of insulin resistance and how to reverse it in as little as 90 days.”

“In this report, researchers investigated the effects of sugar-sweetened beverages on fatty acid synthesis, blood triglycerides, and hepatic insulin resistance in healthy males. Following the consumption of glucose, the pancreas secretes insulin into the bloodstream so that insulin-sensitive organs such as the liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue can transport glucose into their cells.”

“GrimAge2 outperformed the original GrimAge for mortality prediction across multiple racial and ethnic groups and also predicted or associated with several healthspan-relevant outcomes, including coronary heart disease, lung function, fatty liver, visceral adiposity, waist-to-hip ratio, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome-related features.”

“Lipid mobilization is likely something that needs a second lever—exercise and/or GLP-1s—to turn into a meaningful outcome, and expecting older, sedentary, insulin-resistance people to lose weight from NR alone in 13 weeks was unrealistic.”

“This is an interesting proof of principle study showing that implementing a nutrition protocol purposed at raising plasma ketones through fasting (TRE) a ketogenic diet and physical exercises can compensate for insulin resistance and the ApoE4 gene in a mild Alzheimer’s patient experiencing cognitive impairment.”

“Foods with a high glycemic index, such as sugar-sweetened soft drinks, desserts, and white bread products, contain sugars that are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream, causing hyperglycemia (high blood glucose). Regular consumption of high glycemic foods may lead to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.”

“This can promote insulin resistance, increase blood sugar production, and strain the pancreas over time. In contrast, subcutaneous fat is better at safely storing excess energy and releases fewer harmful signals, making it less likely to interfere with normal blood sugar control.”

“The probiotics also lowered triglycerides, VLDL, and markers of insulin resistance. There was no cognitive improvement in the placebo group. The participants took 2 billion Bifidobacterium bacteria per day, which is a pretty small quantity of probiotics.”

“At the end of the study period, participants who took pasteurized A. muciniphila experienced improved insulin sensitivity and reduced insulinemia, total cholesterol, and body weight compared to their baseline assessments and the placebo group.”
