“Dr. Longo has made huge contributions to the field of aging, including the role of fasting and diet in longevity and healthspan in humans as well as metabolic fasting therapies for the treatment of human diseases.”

“Dr. D'Agostino cautions against confusing a Westernized obesogenic high-fat diet with a ketogenic diet. In a well-designed preclinical study, researchers fed mice a cyclic ketogenic diet starting at midlife and observed improved healthspan, cognition, and brain function.”

“Protein is an essential component of a healthy eating pattern because it supports the growth, development, and maintenance of skeletal muscle tissue. Having sufficient muscle mass markedly reduces a person's risk of dying prematurely.”

“But implementing a ketogenic diet is challenging. In this Aliquot, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino explains how to avoid side effects on a ketogenic diet, provides valuable pointers for success, and explains how the diet might help preserve muscle mass.”

“Early discoveries in aging research revealed that sirtuins, a class of enzymes that control gene expression, modulate lifespan by mimicking the effects of calorie restriction – the chronic reduction of energy intake.”

“Studies of centenarians suggest that lower levels of inflammation are associated with longevity. Different types of fiber provide fuel to diverse species of bacteria in the gut, which then synthesize byproducts that regulate the inflammatory process.”

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

“Dietary fiber is a broad term that refers to the non-digestible components of fruits and vegetables. Gut microbes break down certain types of fiber, releasing micronutrients trapped in the fiber matrix and producing beneficial metabolic byproducts, such as short-chain fatty acids.”

“If you rapidly start a ketogenic diet, you are more likely to experience side effects including disrupted sleep and lipid abnormalities. Dr. D'Agostino asserts that transitioning to the diet by titrating carbohydrates down gradually improves adherence and tolerance.”

“Caloric restriction is a sustained reduced intake of approximately 30 percent fewer calories than one would typically eat, whereas periodic fasting is a more extreme deficit, but only for a short duration.”
