“IGF-1 activates the AKT pathway which, in part, inhibits the FOXO pathway -- an important transcription factor. When FOXO is NOT inhibited it activates genes which help with stress resistance, anti-oxidant genes, genes involved in DNA repair, genes involved in degrading bad proteins.”

“Experimental work also shows that a stress-is-enhancing mindset can change cognitive, emotional, and hormonal responses during a laboratory stressor. Dr. Huberman presents repeated practice as a way to help motivation and reward systems recognize productive effort.”

“In humans, an analysis of 6,482 US adults associated higher fiber intake with lower serum concentrations of several persistent PFAS chemicals; the observational result does not prove that fiber caused clearance. Sauna is a different pathway, not a substitute for fiber.”

“Dr. Kroemer completed his medical degree and postdoctoral training at the Collège de France, Nogent-sur-Marne. He completed his doctoral degree in molecular biology from the Autonomous University of Madrid. Autophagy is a highly conserved adaptive response to stress.”

“A placebo-controlled trial in people with type 2 diabetes already using glucose-lowering drugs found improvements in glycemic and selected oxidative-stress measures with black cumin supplementation. The practical context is an adjunct to established care, diet, and exercise.”

“In Aliquot #107, we heard from ten experts who shared how they put their knowledge into practice—applying insights from their own research and their colleagues to support their personal health and fitness.”

“But ultra-processing typically removes many nutrients while adding a plethora of chemicals meant to color, flavor, and preserve the food. In this Aliquot, I explain the science behind the risks associated with eating processed foods and offer advice on choosing healthier options.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses joint aging prevention, avoiding heavy metals in protein, reducing migraines, nicotinamide for skin, and minimizing jet lag.

“A wide array of toxicants, including heavy metals, such as cadmium and mercury; bisphenol A; polychlorinated biphenyls; and phthalate compounds, bioaccumulate in the human body. An individual's toxic burden may contribute to their poor metabolic function, inflammation, and cognitive dysfunction.”

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