“A single night of poor sleep can impair natural killer cells' activity by as much as 70 percent. In the short term, this can put us at risk for developing acute illnesses like colds and flu, but in the long term, it increases our risk for much more serious threats, such as cancer.”

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

“A healthy immune system allows the body to fight bacterial and viral infections, as well as aberrant cells, which, left unchecked can progress to cancer. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) has some beneficial functions but is also known to promote the growth of existing cancer cells.”

“While no data suggest that sauna use has a direct effect on acute COVID-19 infection, there's a convincing argument that sauna use promotes broader changes in immune function that may bolster defense in a contextually beneficial way.”

“Evidence indicates that sauna use reduces the risk of developing pneumonia, possibly due to its ability to increase immune cells and heat shock proteins. Heat shock proteins activate the innate immune system and inhibit influenza viral replication.”

“This method of cell rejuvenation may change the way we treat disease and injury in the future. In his recent research, Dr. Church has identified that the genes alpha-Klotho, FGF21, and TGF-beta1 can be used to rejuvenate older mice back to a healthier state.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses stroke risk, eczema, immune resilience, her new smoothie recipe, and whether everyone should cut out gluten.

“The decline of deep sleep begins early in life, nearly disappears by age 80, increasing the risk for Alzheimer's disease. These Aliquot segments feature Dr. Charles Raison, a professor of psychiatry, and Dr. Matthew Walker, a professor of neuroscience and psychology.”

“Small, inadequately designed clinical trials suggest that ivermectin, possibly in combination with other therapeutics might enhance viral clearance in some populations. However, more data is required before a drug can be repurposed and safely prescribed.”
