“Dr. Mattson cautions against relying on mimetics; rather he recommends exercising, fasting, eating a healthy diet, and keeping the brain engaged as the best strategies for maintaining cognitive health. In this clip, Dr. Mark Mattson discusses the pros and cons of calorie restriction mimetics.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick explores taurine's longevity role, cocoa flavanols, training adaptations, and oral hyaluronic acid in a Q&A.

“Bottled water can contain very small plastic particles. Using stimulated Raman scattering microscopy, researchers identified roughly 240,000 detectable plastic particles per liter on average across three popular bottled-water brands, most of them nanoplastics.”

“A person's chronotype, whether they are an early riser or a night owl, may affect optimal exercise timing. Thus, some self-experimentation may help athletes, both elite and recreational, find their ideal training period for peak performance.”

Alcohol, in particular, can have negative effects on a breastfed infant, including altered sleep patterns, decreased milk intake, and impaired motor development (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00216-010-3681-0), among others.

“Elevated levels of ketone bodies, such as beta-hydroxybutyrate, can have beneficial effects on several brain-related diseases. Research suggests that ketone bodies can increase blood flow in the brain by 30 to 40 percent, which may have profound effects for patients with brain injury or vascular dementia.”

“Time-restricted eating, which involves taking in food within a specific period of the day and fasting for the remainder, can improve certain biomarkers of health - even without weight loss. One theory is that this eating pattern coordinates food intake with the body's peak metabolism period.”

“Integral to the benefits associated with time-restricted eating is the concept of fasting physiology, which taps into ancient patterns of defined periods of eating and resting for the purposes of survival.”

“Dom's efforts at teasing out the differences between induced nutritional ketosis (through a low carbohydrate, high fat diet) and ketosis from the dietary introduction of exogenous ketones, like beta-hydroxybutyrate, especially in the context of therapeutic and performance enhancing effects.”

“In this clip, Dr. Satchin Panda describes how shift work and modern lifestyles affect circadian rhythms and damage metabolic health and discusses approaches that might benefit those who work shifts.”
