“A clinical review identifies obesity as a major risk factor for functional secondary hypogonadism and reports that substantial weight loss can reverse it in some men. The clip also raises questions about micronutrient status.”

“One of the mechanisms behind the beneficial effects of exercise is its ability to induce autophagy in skeletal muscle and, potentially, other organs. In this clip, Dr. Guido Kroemer describes the anti-diabetes and anti-obesity effects of exercise-induced autophagy.”

Dr. Bruce Ames discusses the CHORI Bar, a micronutrient- and fiber-dense nutrition bar developed in the Ames laboratory to manage obesity.

“In this clip, Dr. Steve Horvath describes research suggesting that caloric restriction in animals, although it is unclear this will translate to humans. However, there is much optimism to be had for the treatment and resolution of metabolic syndrome and obesity as a strong factor in slowing epigenetic aging.”

“Satchin's work deals specifically with the timing of food and its relationship with our biological clocks, which are governed by a circadian rhythm. "Mice that ate within a 12-hour time period had 70% less fat and 28% less total body mass.".”

“Conventional health advice, such as healthy eating, physical activity, and education level are linked with slowed epigenetic aging, albeit weakly, and obesity, sleep deprivation, and smoking are linked with accelerated epigenetic aging.”

“In this clip, Dr. Ruth Patterson discusses how healthful choices, such as even modest weight loss, can have beneficial effects that reduce the risk of breast cancer and a variety of other diseases.”

“The study involved 54 adults, half with normal body weight (high insulin sensitivity) and half with obesity (reduced insulin sensitivity). Researchers gave participants either liraglutide or a placebo in the evening and tested their learning abilities the next morning.”

“Commonly referred to as the "carbohydrate-insulin" model of obesity, this new paradigm reverses causation and provides a starting point for developing testable hypotheses. The concepts presented in this report suggest that what a person eats, rather than how much, plays key roles in body weight management.”

“Global estimates indicate that more than half of all adults are either overweight or obese. Obesity carries many health risks because it impairs the body's immune response and creates a pro-inflammatory environment.”
