Dr. Kelly Starrett joins Dr. Rhonda Patrick to discuss building a durable body, reclaiming lost mobility, and raising more resilient young athletes.

“01:50:45 - Study on prostate cancer found that alpha tocopherol and selenium didn't affect cancer incidence at 5-year followup but at 7.5 year follow-up cancer risk for prostate cancer shot up from taking 400 IU of alpha tocopherol (vitamin E) per day.”

“Rebuilding muscle relies on proper nutrition and exercise, but aging reduces the body's response to both. Extended periods of inactivity, such as post-surgery or during illness, can rapidly deplete muscle mass, especially in older people, potentially pushing them into a "catabolic crisis."”

“I also discuss the brain benefits of lactate (it's not just a metabolic byproduct), the cancer-preventing effects of exercise, squeezing more vigorous activity into your day, and many other topics I know you'll find interesting!”

“Based on findings from more recent studies using stable isotopes, which more accurately assess muscle protein anabolism and catabolism, Dr. Phillips believes that eating 1.2 to 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight (about 0.5 to 0.7 grams per pound) is likely optimal for muscle protein synthesis, especially as one ages.”

“Regardless of the limitations of current studies in helping to immediately isolate specific drivers of aging, the clocks should provide a means of assessing cellular age under experimental conditions and make possible the direct testing of hypotheses about the causes of aging or the effectiveness of anti-aging interventions.”

“Diamandis and Robbins are a dynamic duo, having paired up with co-author Dr. Robert Hariri to write Life Force, a best-selling book that describes breakthroughs in precision medicine and health technologies that can help people live longer, healthier, more fulfilling lives – in the very near future.”

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

“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.”
