“Regular exercise can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce visceral and liver fat, making sustainable food quality, energy balance, physical activity, and sleep practical long-term targets for metabolic health.”

“Inflammation provides another possible brain pathway. Dr. Patrick explains that circulating cytokines can affect the brain, alter tryptophan metabolism, and contribute to the foggy cognition and low mood associated with an activated immune response.”

“A diet high in lard had the opposite effect, it promoted the growth of a type of bacteria that is associated with inflammation.”

“Last night I had the profoundly interesting experience of going straight from a super hot sauna (220 F at its hottest) directly into an ice bath (emphasis on ice... lots of ice). We alternated this for four rounds.”

“Dr. Panda's new study suggests that time-restricted eating may have important translational applications testing whether time-restricted eating in people with dampened circadian rhythms, such as shift workers and the elderly may have important health benefits.”

“The menus were matched for presented calories, energy density, total sugar, sodium, and fiber, but not added sugar: much more of the ultra-processed diet's sugar was added rather than contained in fruit. Protein was also only approximately matched, at about 14% versus 15.6% of calories.”

“Sirtuins utilize NAD+ to remove specific chemical structures called acetyl groups – a process called deacetylation – from cellular proteins to control transcriptional regulation, energy metabolism, circadian rhythms, DNA repair, and cell survival.”
