“The processes that mediate aging can be likened to those that drive the sharing of digital information – the idea that, as a signal is transmitted, information is lost and must be continually resent to maintain signal integrity.”

“However, the DNAm GrimAge epigenetic clock is a highly reliable predictor of healthspan and lifespan, based on DNAm surrogates in blood, including biomarkers of aging and alterations in blood composition.”

“The potential for brain benefits, including the growth of new brain cells, improvements in focus, learning, and memory, and even potentially ameliorating depression and anxiety. How endocrine disrupting chemicals, such as BPA, PCBs, phthalates, and also metals are excreted through sweat.”

“Whereas fasting turns off multiple pathways associated with aging, such as mTOR and IGF-1, eating for optimal fitness activates these important processes. The IGF-1 pathway, in particular, plays key roles in growth and is strongly associated with cancer.”

“Time-restricted eating, in particular, has the potential to realign the body's circadian rhythms. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick describes some of the different types of fasting and identifies the advantages associated with each.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick, Dr. Darya Rose, and Kevin Rose discuss turmeric's ability to increase detoxification enzymes through hormesis.

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

“Immunosenescence is a deterioration of the immune system that occurs with age. When older mice are subjected to fasting, cells of the immune system such as lymphocytes return to quantities more typical in youth. This animal research may have implications for human aging. In this clip, Dr. Valter Longo describes how fasting promotes the immune system to return to a more youthful profile.”
