“A large body of evidence suggests that daily DHA supplementation is associated with decreased rates of early preterm birth, particularly in women with low baseline DHA status. DHA supplementation presents an effective high yield, low-risk strategy to reduce early preterm birth.”

“In fact, methylation and demethylation are critical processes in development. Interfering with the enzymes that carry out these two opposing processes can play critical roles in epigenetic age, ultimately affecting aging, disease, and death.”

“Circadian rhythms, the body’s 24-hour cycles of biological, hormonal, and behavioral patterns, modulate a wide array of physiological processes, including the body’s production of hormones that regulate sleep, hunger, metabolism, and others.”

“Acting as growth factors, both estrogen and insulin can promote tumor cell growth, as well as undermine the innate defense system that removes damaged cells from the body. In this clip, Dr. Ruth Patterson describes how obesity - along with the growth factors estrogen and insulin - affect the risk of breast cancer development and recurrence.”

Dr. Levine shares personal habits she has developed to slow aging, including exercise, a plant-based diet, and time-restricted eating.

“Chronic inflammation plays a key role in the development of many chronic diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. When it comes to managing inflammation, we often focus on what lifestyle habits we might need to get rid of, but it's just as important to focus on things we can add to our lifestyles.”

“Protein is an essential component of a healthy eating pattern because it supports the growth, development, and maintenance of skeletal muscle tissue. Having sufficient muscle mass markedly reduces a person's risk of dying prematurely.”

“Protein is an essential component of a healthy eating pattern because it supports the growth, development, and maintenance of skeletal muscle. While animal-derived protein has the advantage of containing more amino acids that promote hypertrophy – particularly leucine – research suggests that plant-based proteins can be more viable for supporting muscle than previously thought.”

“Zinc is an essential nutrient that participates in metabolism, cognitive function, and immune response. In this clip, Dr. Dale Bredesen describes the role that zinc status plays in the development of the toxic form of Alzheimer's disease.”

“Traditional vaccines take many years to develop. A recent innovation in vaccine technology involves exploitation of messenger RNA, or mRNA, to facilitate rapid scaling of vaccines and expedite their modification if the virus mutates significantly.”
