“00:29:20 - Organs shrink during fasting and then regrow after refeeding. Study. 00:29:45 - Fasting stresses healthy cells so they increase their stress-response pathways, including heat shock proteins, antioxidant production, and anti-inflammatory.”

“The fasting-mimicking diet holds great promise as a complementary therapy for cancer because, when coupled with chemotherapy, the diet induces differential stress resistance – a phenomenon in which normal cells are protected from stress, but damaged cells are not.”

“Physiological sighs (a technique that Dr. Huberman advocates, described in detail later) to relieve stress and promote parasympathetic activation. "If you care very much about your brain, more than two drinks per week on a consistent basis is probably not a good idea."”

“However, a growing body of evidence suggests that pre-pregnancy health of both parents shapes the health of their offspring through epigenetic mechanisms, which are influenced by nutrition, stress, and other environmental factors.”

“Although this extreme cooling could provoke a life-threatening condition called coronary spasm in people with underlying cardiovascular conditions, it poses little risk among healthy people.”

“Living longer and healthier doesn't require extreme behaviors. Eating right, moving more, and managing stress are just a few of the habits, especially in midlife, that predict telomere length. In this clip, Dr. Elissa Epel describes the "low hanging fruit" – small, healthy lifestyle behaviors – that can have positive effects on telomere length and lifespan.”

“Research suggests that meditation may protect the brain from the negative effects of stress and promote mental health. In this first part of our two-part series of Aliquots on meditation, we'll talk about some of the effects of meditation on the brain.”
