“The evidence for immunity has been bolstered by successes observed in studies that have administered convalescent plasma from recovered COVID-19 patients to severely ill patients and noted that the virus cleared within a week.”

“A practical review should look for recent lot-specific testing, a clearly named independent laboratory, and results that report actual amounts rather than only saying a product passed. Greens powders are optional convenience products, not replacements for fruits and vegetables.”

“Dr. Gibala discusses apparent non-responders and explains that a larger or more intense training dose can produce additional improvement in some people, without implying that one protocol works equally well for everyone.”

“Whether metformin reduces the risk of cancer in healthy people remains to be seen. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick describes the relationship between metformin and cancer incidence and the relevance for those with type 2 diabetes.”

“Dr. Patrick builds the strength sessions around compound movements such as squats, deadlifts, and overhead presses, then adds circuit-style exercises. She uses progressive loading, usually stops heavy lifts short of failure, and lets lighter movements move closer to failure when technique remains controlled.”

“02:03:18 - A recent study measured omega-3 fatty acid levels from both supplemental and dietary sources in blood and found that for every 1 percent increment in omega-3 fatty acid levels there was a 20 percent decreased risk in all-cause mortality.”

“Early discoveries in aging research revealed that sirtuins, a class of enzymes that control gene expression, modulate lifespan by mimicking the effects of calorie restriction – the chronic reduction of energy intake.”

“However, during refeeding, IGF-1 levels rise and stem cells proliferate and continue to grow. Eating sufficient protein during refeeding is necessary to provide the essential amino acids for cell growth and also to stimulate the growth factor IGF-1, which provides the signals to rebuild.”

“Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) are proteins that play critical roles in two major growth pathways in the human body. The intake of amino acids regulates these two pathways, which must remain in balance to facilitate muscle growth and repair.”

“Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) promotes the growth of existing cancer cells and contributes to aging, but also has some beneficial functions. IGF-1 is required for the growth and repair of muscles and is also necessary for producing new brain cells.”
