“These include increasing blood-brain flow, modulating adenosine, and reducing neuroinflammation. In this clip, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino describes how nutritional ketosis may support the treatment of neurodegenerative and other brain disorders.”

“Enhanced dopamine receptors may enable people with the disorder to better utilize their remaining dopamine. In this clip, Dr. Giselle Petzinger explains that strenuous exercise affects dopamine sensitivity in the brains of people with Parkinson's disease.”

“These boosters enhance cerebral blood flow, mimicking exercise and promoting regrowth of the aging cerebral vascular system. In this clip, Dr. David Sinclair and Dr. Rhonda Patrick discuss the brain health benefits associated with NAD+ boosters.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses cancer prevention, linoleic acid, shingles vaccine and dementia, creatine's kidney effects, and shares her overnight oats recipe.

“In one randomized crossover study of 15 healthy adults, a single dose of 0.35 grams per kilogram changed brain-energy measures and partially reduced deterioration on selected cognitive tasks during 21 hours without sleep.”

“In this clip, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino explains the interrelationship between ketones and lactate as sources of energy for the brain and the role ketones may have in reducing oxidative stress through greater energetic efficiency.”

“Vigorous exercise also creates strong metabolic signals. Dr. Patrick describes lactate as both a fuel and a signaling molecule and explains how exercise intensity can increase catecholamine release and brain-derived neurotrophic factor.”

“Insulin-like growth factor-1, or IGF-1, is a hormone that plays key roles in growth and neurogenesis but has also been implicated in aging and stimulating the growth of cancer. Therefore, it may be desirable to achieve higher IGF-1 levels in the brain, while maintaining lower levels in the rest of the body.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses GLP-1 agonists, alpha-lipoic acid, ubiquinone vs. ubiquinol, calcium needs, and liquid biopsy cancer screening.

“Furthermore, where we lose pericytes - which are important for dementia prevention - overlaps with the loss of DHA transporters. In this clip, Dr. Axel Montagne discusses how the brain transport of omega-3 DHA may be important for the prevention and possibly as a therapy for dementia.”
