“Similar in molecular structure to insulin, IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1) has been implicated in the aging process. Protein intake increases IGF-1 levels in humans, independent of total caloric consumption.”

“Much of this research was conducted in yeast or worms – lower organisms whose lives were favorably impacted by the research and who, in turn, impacted the lives of the scientists who studied them. In this clip, Dr. David Sinclair describes the major breakthroughs in aging research and the unique relationships that form between researchers and the organisms they study.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick explains how vigorous exercise, VO2 max, and Norwegian 4x4 intervals relate to heart fitness and aging.

“A post hoc DO-HEALTH analysis studied 777 generally healthy Swiss adults with a mean age of about 75. One gram per day of marine omega-3 produced small favorable changes in three DNA-methylation aging measures over three years.”

“Recent human studies indicate that the fewer carbohydrates one eats, the lower the risk of death from all causes. In this clip, Dr. Eric Verdin explains the importance of the insulin signaling pathway in aging and highlights both animal and human research in this area.”

“Biological age is distinct from chronological age; it reflects cellular and DNA health. Regular coffee consumption significantly lowers epigenetic age markers, indicators closely tied to inflammation, metabolic processes, and aging itself.”

“The intake of amino acids regulates these two pathways, which must remain in balance to facilitate muscle growth and repair. Overactivity of mTOR and IGF-1 has been implicated in contributing to aging and diseases associated with aging, such as cancer.”

“In this clip from How to Train According to the Experts, Dr. Rhonda Patrick and Brady Holmer discuss research from Dr. Benjamin Levine on lifelong exercise and the aging heart. They focus on how often people exercised across adulthood and how that pattern related to the heart's ability to fill and relax in later life.”

“Autophagy, a type of cellular recycling program, influences many aspects of health and disease, including cancer, neurodegenerative disease, and aging. Nutrient sensing is integral to autophagy, particularly concentrations of acetyl CoA, an end product of protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism.”

“Similar in molecular structure to insulin, IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1) has been implicated in the aging process. Protein intake increases IGF-1 levels in humans, independent of total caloric consumption.”
