“A 24-hour fast restructured the gut microbiome in diabetic mice which beneficially impacted the shape and number of colon cells, decreased markers of gut permeability, changed bile acid secretion, and prevented the development of retinopathy.”

“The problem is that whole-genome sequencing showed that while CRISPR is effective in correcting a faulty gene of interest, it also introduced up to 1,500 other mutations in other parts of the genome.”

“Better VO2 max has previously been linked to lower all-cause mortality independent of other health factors such as obesity and to improved cognitive function in old age. In this study, the 24 sessions were done either over the course of 3 weeks or 8 weeks.”

“Interestingly, another saturated fatty acid called palmitic acid did not improve mitochondrial health and has been associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease and cancer whereas stearic acid has been linked to reduced risk of those diseases.”

“The fact that both upper and lower body muscle strength but not handgrip strength was linked to better cognitive function suggests that handgrip strength may not be a good proxy to measure upper body strength.”

“The benefit of eating nuts was consistent after adjusting the data for other factors that can influence cancer recurrence, including patient age, body mass index, gender, and genomic changes in the tumor. This study was not a clinical trial so it does not prove causation but it is an interesting finding that provides a framework for future studies.”

“To learn more about the importance of early bright light exposure on improving sleep quality, check out my podcast with Dan Pardi that talks about a lot of interesting points relevant to this...”

“This is an interesting proof of principle study showing that implementing a nutrition protocol purposed at raising plasma ketones through fasting (TRE) a ketogenic diet and physical exercises can compensate for insulin resistance and the ApoE4 gene in a mild Alzheimer’s patient experiencing cognitive impairment.”

“It is unclear how long this microbiome shift can be sustained since this study only lasted two weeks. While the findings of this study are interesting, the results need to be replicated in larger studies that investigate the effects of a low-carb diet for a longer period.”

“FGF21's potential as a drug against diabetes, obesity and similar metabolic disorders is currently being tested, so the fact that we are able to increase the production ourselves through training is interesting', Christoffer Clemmensen elaborates.”
