“Measuring 25-hydroxyvitamin D helps place these factors in context. When sunlight is insufficient, Dr. Patrick favors vitamin D3 over vitamin D2 and stresses that dose should match the person rather than follow a universal rule.”

“If you have used a consumer genetic testing service like 23andMe or AncestryDNA and want to learn more about whether or not the data indicates your specific genotype on these SNPs, check out our free viral report here.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick explores taurine's longevity role, cocoa flavanols, training adaptations, and oral hyaluronic acid in a Q&A.

“A growing body of evidence indicates that the fasting-mimicking diet may be beneficial in treating autoimmune disorders. In these Aliquot segments, Dr. Rhonda Patrick and Dr. Valter Longo describe the roles that diet and fasting play in maintaining or restoring proper immune function.”

“In this talk, we’ll be exploring the intersection between genetics, nutrition, and environment: how your diet, micronutrients, exercise, heat stress, and sleep can change the expression of your genes and how this has profound effects on the way your body functions and ages.”

“The pivotal role fiber plays in fueling good bacteria in the gut that act like "miniature drug factories" which produce compounds that regulate the immune system by increasing the number of T regulatory cells, which are specialized types of immune cells that keep the immune system in check and prevent autoimmune responses.”

“Exposure to bright light also promotes the release of cortisol, and, in turn, the hormone drives wakefulness during the daytime hours. Chronic stress and mis-timed exposure to light can dysregulate cortisol release and promote aging, however.”

“This is seen in supercentenarians and their offspring, who tend to age slower than their younger counterparts. Furthermore, the rate of epigenetic aging is stable over the lifespan, suggesting that people who age slowly at 20 years will age slowly at 60 years.”

“Vitamin D also increases T-regulatory cells, which play a major role in keeping the immune system in check, particularly when it comes to autoimmune diseases. Vitamin D inhibits the production of proinflammatory cytokines, which can play a role in a cytokine storm.”

“It has been identified as a zinc ionophore which is a compound that can transport zinc ions across a cell membrane. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses quercetin's identified antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-1 and its role in zinc transport.”
