Dr. Rhonda Patrick answers audience questions on various health, nutrition, and science topics in this Q&A session.
Episode
“Even though the primary endpoints failed (NR did not improve insulin sensitivity or weight loss), he notes a meaningful signal in reduced liver fat—a 2% decrease in the NR group compared to a 0.2% reduction in the placebo group, a difference that didn't reach statistical significance, likely because subjects weren't randomized by liver fat and variability was high.”
Episode
“While it won't eliminate genetic susceptibility, studies suggest that it can delay onset and reduce overall risk, even in those predisposed to cancer—engaging in 1–4 and more than 7 hours per week of leisure-time physical activity reduces the risk of breast cancer by 9% and 15%, respectively, in women with a family history of breast cancer.”
Episode
“Dr. Michael Grandner describes this as the "mind after midnight"— being awake past our normal bedtime biases us toward reward-seeking, negative affect, and weaker executive control, helping explain not only late-night eating (a preference for energy-dense, high-fat, and high-sugar foods) but other impulsive behaviors that occur at this time.”
Episode
“Few topics come up in their discussion where Dr. Fahey doesn't have an anecdote about a study he was involved in, or, in some cases, "tribal knowledge" that may not even be published but is nonetheless interesting and an important part of the story that is unique to his particular vantage point.”
Episode
“While typical muscle-oriented creatine supplementation protocols (3–5 grams daily) can benefit bone indirectly through increased muscle mass, emerging evidence suggests that higher doses (up to ~8–10 grams/day) might be optimal for maximizing creatine's potential bone benefits in aging populations, especially when paired with weight-bearing exercise.”
Episode
“Dr. Rhonda Patrick speaks with Ray Cronise, a former NASA material scientist and co-founder of zero gravity, a company that offers weightless parabolic flights to consumers and researchers.”
Episode
“00:34:40 - Repeated traumatic brain injury has cumulative neuroinflammatory effects in the brain over years, including amyloid-beta plaque and tau tangle formation. Study. 00:44:00 - A variant of the APOE gene increases risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease as much as 15-fold.”
Episode
“Removing former drinkers from the non-drinker category reveals a different story: One study observed that the lowest risk for cardiovascular disease (i.e., ischemic heart disease) was right below one standard U.S. drink per week — men and women at this level of consumption had an ~18% lower risk compared to nondrinkers.”
Episode
“1 02:37:05 - Mothers that chew xylitol gum starting mid-pregnancy and continuing until 6-12 months after birth lowered the oral streptococcus mutan bacteria, which is an anaerobic bacteria that plays a significant role in tooth decay, in their toddlers/children.”
