“But the beneficial effects extend beyond brain aging and may have relevance for athletes. In fact, Dr. Mattson hopes that future research will investigate the benefits of fasting versus ketone ester supplementation in endurance athletes.”

“The SCN, in turn, coordinates the body's peripheral clocks, such as those found in the liver, pancreas, muscles, and fatty tissue, driving rhythms of rest and activity that determine eating-fasting cycles.”

“He further details how he combines the ketogenic diet, exogenous ketones, intermittent fasting, and exercise into his daily life. In this clip, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino gives his thoughts on eating an all-meat diet and weighs in on whether it is optimal to eat a diet devoid of fiber.”

“The researchers posited that early language learning might play a role in this protective effect, potentially contributing to brain resilience across the lifespan. Exercise and fasting help preserve hippocampal volume, too. Learn more in this clip featuring Dr. Mark Mattson.”

“Animal models demonstrate that intermittent fasting is generally beneficial for maintaining muscle mass, but in some disease states, such as ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease, it can be detrimental.”

“They also measured blood pressure, fasting triglyceride levels, fasting glucose, the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein, insulin resistance, and carotid intima thickness (a measure of atherosclerosis).”

“A meta-analysis led by Dr. Stuart Phillips found that individuals consuming 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily while engaging in resistance training increased their muscle mass by 27% and their strength by 10%, compared to those who trained without extra protein.”

“Dr. Patrick also discusses glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin, kidney and electrolyte markers, hs-CRP, fibrinogen, thyroid tests, CBC, vitamin D, sex hormones, IGF-1, and the Omega-3 Index.”

“More research is needed to confirm this possibility. Interestingly, some evidence suggests that people who have multiple sclerosis experience functional improvements with the fasting-mimicking diet, a dietary strategy that promotes immune cell turnover.”

“Sulforaphane administration improved fasting blood glucose and HbA1c levels in the obese participants who had poorly regulated type 2 diabetes. Sulforaphane mediated these effects via Nrf2 activity and subsequent reduced expression of enzymes that promote glucose production in the liver.”
