“A study conducted in collaboration with Dr. Stuart Phillips revealed that older pre-diabetic individuals who took fewer than a thousand steps daily for two weeks experienced lasting decreases in protein synthesis and insulin sensitivity, which did not fully recover even after resuming regular activity.”

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

“Caloric restriction mimetics – compounds that “trick” cells into inducing autophagy even in the setting of sufficient nutrient levels – include resveratrol, which is found in red wine, and spermidine, which is found in cheese.”

“Our bodies prioritize putting micronutrients in metabolic pathways needed for survival and reproduction over pathways used in long-term health such as DNA damage repair. In this clip, Bruce provides both an evolutionary and a molecular rationale for his theory.”

“The topic of conversation in this episode is especially focused on Dr. Lithgow's work with C. elegans, which a tiny nematode worm he uses to interrogate questions involving the aging process and lifespan extension. "Of course, proteins misfold during heat shock.”
