“Rather, they fall on a spectrum, ranging from a five-to-one ratio of fats to protein and carbs (typically used in clinical settings) to a more liberalized one-to-one ratio, a type of low glycemic index therapy (commonly referred to as "modified Atkins") that might meet the needs of most healthy people.”

“Side effects, including intermittent skin and soft tissue infections, impaired lipid metabolism, elevated glucose levels, and increased resting heart rate, persisted regardless of dosage adjustments.”

“This dysbiosis persists, even after weight loss, likely promoting recurrent (or "yo-yo") obesity. The compounds produced during flavonoid metabolism are just some of the thousands of bioactive molecules produced by the gut microbes.”

“"Inflammation is a key regulator of lipoprotein metabolism in a positive way, historically, evolutionary-wise, but in an adverse way in our current environment." - Ronald Krauss, M.D. Cholesterol and its attendant lipoprotein particles don’t exist in a vacuum, however.”

“00:07:34 - How the shift between normal metabolism and what Dr. Longo refers to ketogenic mode is subject to individual variation and the type of restriction practiced. Of particular importance is the protein or essential amino acid consumption.”

“The ketogenic diet is contraindicated in people with pancreatitis, fat metabolism disorders, and other rare metabolic conditions. Some people carry a version of the apolipoprotein E gene called APOE4 – a risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease.”

“Dr. D'Agostino asserts that a low carbohydrate diet incorporating intermittent fasting probably has more benefits than chronic ketosis for most healthy adults. Drs. D'Agostino and Patrick describe their experiences with fasting or time-restricted eating and its calming effects on the brain.”

“People that underwent an aerobic exercise routine (30-60 minutes three times a week for six weeks) increased gut bacteria that produce butyrate, which promotes healthy intestinal cells and reduces inflammation. This was also confirmed in mice, which were more resistant to experimental ulcerative colitis after the exercise-induced changes in the gut microbiome.”

“Here’s an interesting report that didn't make it into this issue of the Digest. Obesity and aging increase a person's risk of many diseases, including cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. This review presents the hypothesis that obesity accelerates the process of cardiac aging, exacerbating clinical outcomes of older adults with obesity.”

“In this excerpt from the FoundMyFitness alcohol episode, Dr. Rhonda Patrick explains that a hangover begins as blood alcohol approaches zero, after intoxication has passed. Symptoms reflect several overlapping processes, including immune activation, acetaldehyde exposure, sleep disruption, and individual differences in alcohol metabolism.”
