“Having sufficient muscle mass markedly reduces a person's risk of dying prematurely. Although some studies suggest that eating less protein promotes longevity, those studies might not take into account the periods of disuse and disability that often occur in real life.”

“Aerobic exercise improves mitochondrial function, fat oxidation, and heart health, and increases VO2 max, a predictor of longevity. The recommendation is to complete 150-300 minutes of moderate or 75-150 minutes of vigorous exercise per week.”

“In a separate meta-analysis of eight controlled trials, 10.2 grams per day of psyllium taken alongside a low-fat diet for at least eight weeks reduced total cholesterol by 4% and LDL cholesterol by 7%.”

“When this barrier breaks down, as in, intestinal permeability, also known as "leaky gut," microbes and their metabolites translocate out of the intestinal lumen and influence the health and function of distant tissues, such as the brain, connective tissues, sometimes promoting a state known as "metabolic endotoxemia."”

“Eating late at night – particularly large meals – can be detrimental and, along with DNA damage, provides fertile ground for cancer to develop. In this clip, Dr. Ruth Patterson discusses how eating in accordance with the body's natural circadian rhythm may reduce the risk of breast cancer.”

“Using data from more than 2,300 adults, GrimAge accurately predicted time-to-death, time-to-coronary heart disease, time-to-cancer, and age-at-menopause and closely aligned with computed tomography data for fatty liver disease and excess visceral fat.”

“You may have first heard about Dr. Attia from his two interviews that have been on the Tim Ferriss show, or from any number of popular presentations he's given that were filmed and put online.”

“Many people may find the prolonged fast too onerous, but the fasting-mimicking diet, an approach that recapitulates many of the same effects of prolonged fasting with a hyper-low calorie, low protein, higher fat diet stretched out over a longer interval of five days, may offer a more palatable strategy for activating autophagy.”

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

“When produced during exercise (especially high intensity workouts like cycling, which shifts metabolism toward glycolysis to more quickly meet the high energetic demands), lactate switches on more than 600 genes involved in muscle adaptation, stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis – the process of making new mitochondria – and promotes protein synthesis, which is essential for muscle growth.”
