“Although there is no cure for multiple sclerosis, evidence suggests that the fasting-mimicking diet may be beneficial in treating the condition. Learn about the fasting-mimicking diet in this episode featuring Dr. Valter Longo. Link to study abstract.”

“But whether the benefits of exercise are greater depending on when one exercises – morning versus afternoon – is a matter of considerable debate. A recent study shows that morning exercise reduces blood pressure, fasting insulin, and insulin resistance better than afternoon exercise in people with metabolic syndrome.”

“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.”

“NAD+ levels are one way for energy to be circulated within the cell, and levels rise while fasting and decrease during aging. A group of enzymes called sirtuins rely on NAD+ to exert their beneficial activities, functioning less well as levels decline.”

“Together, these findings support a pattern that places more food and protein earlier in the day while leaving a consistent overnight fasting period. This clip is excerpted, with permission, from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance with Thomas DeLauer.”

“These findings demonstrate that a ketogenic diet is safe for people with astrocytoma and may be beneficial as adjunctive therapy. Learn more about how a ketogenic diet, combined with fasting and the standard of care treatment, may help treat aggressive cancers in this clip featuring Dr. Valter Longo.”

“A larger randomized-trial meta-analysis also found modest average reductions in BMI, waist circumference, and body-fat percentage, although protocols and populations varied. These averages do not mean that HIIT alone guarantees fat loss.”

“Type 2 diabetes - Fasting levels of serum endotoxin and zonulin (a gut barrier protein) were higher in people with type 2 diabetes and a greater endotoxin level was associated with more inflammation.”

“Metformin inhibits mitochondrial adaptations and improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness after aerobic exercise training in older adults. Metformin also diminished whole-body insulin sensitivity after aerobic exercise. Metformin did not diminish the improvements in HbA1c, fasting insulin, 24‐hr mean glucose, and fat mass or the increase in skeletal muscle telomere length after exercise.”
