“Resveratrol has been shown to bind to sirtuins, altering their affinity for NAD+ and their protein substrates, thereby increasing sirtuins' activity. As such, resveratrol and other sirtuin-activating compounds present a promising therapeutic strategy to ameliorate age-related diseases and extend healthspan.”

“Eating sufficient protein during refeeding is necessary to provide the essential amino acids for cell growth and also to stimulate the growth factor IGF-1, which provides the signals to rebuild. In this clip, Dr. Valter Longo describes the pivotal role that IGF-1 plays in the proliferation of stem cells and the importance of consuming sufficient protein.”

“A classic example of this exploitation is seen with selenium, an essential trace element that, in a contradictory twist, is also toxic. Organisms incorporate selenium in their environments into selenoproteins, a class of highly conserved proteins that exert potent antioxidant activity.”

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

“The bacterium can also interfere with one of the steps involved in xenophagy, ultimately impairing the body's immune response. Similarly, human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, reduces cellular levels of key proteins involved in xenophagy induction.”

Dr. Kelly Starrett joins Dr. Rhonda Patrick to discuss building a durable body, reclaiming lost mobility, and raising more resilient young athletes.

“The cause of this immune confusion is complex but may involve exposure to proteins found in cow's milk, which anecdotally worsen MS symptoms for some patients. New research supports this anecdotal evidence, finding that MS autoantibodies cross-react with casein, the principal protein in cow's milk.”

“They found that repeated mild blows to HSV-1-infected tissues reactivated the virus, triggering inflammatory processes in the brain and driving the buildup of amyloid-beta and phosphorylated tau—proteins linked to brain damage and memory loss.”

“In fact, a separate study found that when calorie and protein intake during time-restricted eating was matched to baseline intake, no reductions in lean mass was observed. Additionally, lean mass was calculated as fat-free mass minus bone mineral content, however the decrease in lean mass could have been attributed to water weight and not muscle.”

“Sulforaphane is a bioactive compound derived from certain cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli and broccoli sprouts. It exerts potent anti-inflammatory properties and switches on the activity of a vast array of cellular protective proteins.”
