“Instead of relying on quick sugar, urolithin A pushed cells toward steadier, mitochondria-driven fuel, a sign of better metabolic fitness and resilience. Natural killer cells showed a similar pattern of reduced glucose dependence and enhanced fat/amino acid metabolism, while CD4+ T cells and B cells changed little.”

“When it comes to managing inflammation, we often focus on what lifestyle habits we might need to get rid of, but it's just as important to focus on things we can add to our lifestyles. In this Aliquot, we'll talk about my top recommendations for lifestyle habits that reduce inflammation.”

“Known for his work in the field of muscle physiology and aging, Dr. McGlory's research focuses on elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying muscle protein synthesis and degradation, with a particular emphasis on the roles that omega-3 fatty acids play in maintaining muscle health in older adults.”

“Having a healthy, robust immune system is crucial for our survival. Critical players in the body's antiviral immune response are interferons. Certain lifestyle behaviors can boost interferon production and immune function, including sleep, vitamin D, and hot hydrotherapy.”

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

“Reduced inflammation – Butyrate promotes regulatory T cell maturation. Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) is a ketone body that can be synthesized from butyrate, dietary fats, body fat, or ketogenic amino acids.”

“This episode of the Aliquot features FoundMyFitness guests with expertise in fields including lipid metabolism, Alzheimer's disease, and micronutrient biochemistry sharing their recommendations regarding blood tests that a person should consider adding to their yearly checkup.”

“However, research has identified some of the mechanisms of thymic involution and highlighted possible strategies to improve immunity: By activating PPAR-gamma, a protein that regulates fat metabolism, caloric restriction reduced the rate of thymic involution in mice and increased the number and diversity of circulating T cells.”

“And one potential strategy for mitigating our risk for Alzheimer's disease as we age is a "cognoscopy" – a battery of assessments that measures some of the key biomarkers associated with the disease and can inform the trajectory of treatment.”

“Low BDNF levels were prevalent among those with a higher percentage of body fat, higher fasting glucose levels and triglyceride levels, and increased insulin resistance. The study also found that participants freely consumed 40 percent fewer calories while on the low-carbohydrate diet.”
