Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses urolithin A, postmenopausal protein, microplastics, high-temperature saunas, sugar intake, and supplements for Parkinson's disease.

“In STEP 1, once-weekly semaglutide plus lifestyle support produced an average weight reduction of 14.9% over 68 weeks, compared with 2.4% with placebo, establishing strong efficacy for selected adults with overweight or obesity.”

“Recent discoveries in the field of epigenetics suggest we might be able to slow aging, based on the realization that not everyone ages at the same rate. Evidence suggests that drugs or other medical procedures can slow epigenetic aging, but other factors, such as diet and disease states influence it too.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick explores growth hormone secretagogues, spermidine's longevity role, methylene blue, whey protein, and solutions for scar tissue in a Q&A.

“A meta-analysis showed that men and women achieved similar increases in muscle with resistance training, despite men having higher testosterone levels. While daily fluctuations in testosterone do not drive muscle protein synthesis, supraphysiological steroid doses are anabolic.”

“Dr. Bruce Ames' Triage Theory Dr. Ames proposed that the body does a strategic rationing so that those proteins and enzymes in the body which are essential for short-term survival get their share of vitamins and minerals at the expense of other proteins and enzymes that are essential for long-term survival.”

“Bruce argues that while diseases of severe vitamin D deficiency like rickets are rare, the criteria for vitamin D deficiency should be based on long-term health biomarkers and not just short-term severe diseases.”

“Our bodies prioritize putting micronutrients in metabolic pathways needed for survival and reproduction over pathways used in long-term health such as DNA damage repair. In this clip, Bruce provides both an evolutionary and a molecular rationale for his theory.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses her supplement stack, avoiding microplastics, creatine for brain health, and mRNA vaccine autoimmunity risks.

“In part I of this two-part series on the future of aging research, we discussed the hallmarks of aging and the cutting-edge therapies aimed at understanding and manipulating the complex processes underlying these hallmarks, including epigenetic aging clocks and pluripotent stem cells.”
