“Obesity and chronic inflammation are associated with higher risk for several cancers, and insulin, sex-hormone, and immune pathways provide plausible links. These lines of evidence do not prove that sugar directly causes a specific cancer or that removing one food prevents cancer.”

“A separate study in older adults found greater amino-acid and insulin-stimulated muscle protein synthesis after omega-3 supplementation. These findings make omega-3 status especially relevant during injury, surgery, or other periods when regular training is not possible.”

“Findings from one study suggest that an acute bout of aerobic exercise alters more than 9,000 distinct molecules in the human body to influence health positively. The study involved 36 adults between the ages of 40 and 75 years with insulin resistance and overweight or obesity (BMI greater than 25).”

“Its functions range from influencing muscle adaptation and heart fueling during exercise to moderating insulin release, carcinogenesis, and various aspects of health, including neurobiology and nutrition. This review describes the multiple roles of lactate in human physiology.”

“Fatty liver/metabolic disease NR isn't a weight-loss drug, but it may help shift fat out of unhealthy storage sites (especially the liver) when the system is metabolically stressed. A trial in older Danish men where NR was given as monotherapy was expected to drive weight loss/insulin sensitivity in ~13 weeks, an aim that Dr. Brenner calls a "moonshot."”

“In this long-term follow-up study, sugar-sweetened beverage consumption increased the risk of death among women with breast cancer, especially in women consuming more than three servings per week. Link to full publication. Watch this clip from the FoundMyFitness podcast with expert Dr. Ruth Patterson as she discusses the effects of insulin on breast cancer growth.”

“Conventional training produced clearer improvements in aerobic fitness and blood triglyceride levels. Neither program clearly enhanced insulin sensitivity, reduced liver fat, or meaningfully altered key insulin signaling proteins in skeletal muscle.”

“At the end of the study period, participants who took pasteurized A. muciniphila experienced improved insulin sensitivity and reduced insulinemia, total cholesterol, and body weight compared to their baseline assessments and the placebo group.”

“From the article: > LP-1 is released from the wall of the gut after eating and acts to stimulate insulin from the pancreas to control blood sugar levels. This was known but what has now been unearthed is that GLP-1 also stimulates a small sensory organ called the carotid body located in the neck. View full publication.”

“In this way, magnesium regulates both glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity, underscoring magnesium's integral role in glucose metabolism and overall metabolic health. Evidence suggests that magnesium influences the risk of developing diabetes and participates in the disease's pathophysiological progression.”
