“In a randomized crossover study of 18 young men with overweight or obesity, ten three-minute walking or squat breaks spread across 8.5 hours reduced post-meal glucose exposure more than uninterrupted sitting or one continuous 30-minute walk.”

“Testosterone production and sperm development respond to both internal conditions and environmental exposures. Speaking with Jack Neel, Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses endocrine-disrupting chemicals, sleep, obesity, heat exposure, and anabolic steroid use as factors in male reproductive health.”

“In the SELECT trial, semaglutide reduced major cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality over about 3.3 years among adults with overweight or obesity and established cardiovascular disease. Other approaches seek to preserve muscle during aging.”

“Adolescent obesity often persists into adulthood and raises cardiometabolic risks, but altering the gut microbiome may help shift long-term health trajectories.

“Findings from one study suggest that an acute bout of aerobic exercise alters more than 9,000 distinct molecules in the human body to influence health positively. The study involved 36 adults between the ages of 40 and 75 years with insulin resistance and overweight or obesity (BMI greater than 25).”
