“Analysis of the 45 studies revealed significant reductions in post-meal blood glucose and insulin levels when the starch consumed had a high amylose content, was less-gelatinized, contained retrograded starch, or contained intact and large particles.”

“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.”

“Neurogenesis Whereas the early view of the mammalian central nervous system presumed that it was a static complex incapable of change, a growing body of evidence suggests that it retains its capacity for synaptic pruning – the process that eliminates extra neurons and synaptic connections and establishes new neural circuits to increase the efficiency of neuronal transmissions – throughout life.”

“Weight gain occurs when the body stores excess calories in the form of fat in adipose tissue depots around the body. As the amount of energy stored increases, the body’s tolerance for glucose and other fuels decreases, leading to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.”

“Each 10% reduction in visceral fat during the intervention was linked years later to a better insulin-resistance score and a healthier cardiometabolic risk score based on waist size, blood pressure, blood sugar, insulin, triglycerides, and HDL cholesterol.”

“Diet-induced insulin resistance caused blood vessels to become leaky which impaired blood and oxygen flow to a brain region involved in learning and memory (animal evidence). Obesity and insulin resistance are associated with a leaky blood-brain barrier.”

“Exercise A sedentary lifestyle accelerated aging while exercising reduced cellular senescence. Resistance and endurance exercise increased the production of heat shock proteins, which are large structures that help other proteins maintain their shape, preventing the loss of proteostasis.”

“In this way, magnesium regulates both glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity, underscoring magnesium's integral role in glucose metabolism and overall metabolic health. Evidence suggests that magnesium influences the risk of developing diabetes and participates in the disease's pathophysiological progression.”

“Clinical studies are needed to determine collagen's effectiveness in lowering human blood pressure. In rodent studies, marine hydrolyzed collagen improves glucose sensitivity and insulin resistance and decreases inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress.”

“A growing body of evidence suggests that dementia is the manifestation of insulin resistance and altered metabolism in the brain. A recent study suggests that dietary patterns that promote ketosis improve brain metabolism and function.”
