Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses child nutrition, osteoporosis, cholesterol-lowering supplements, her skincare routine, and fasting versus prioritizing protein.

“Most people with type 2 diabetes know they need to manage their blood glucose levels, but many may not realize they are at higher risk for heart disease. One potential option for reducing that risk is coenzyme Q10, a naturally occurring antioxidant.”

“Phase 3 (double-blind, placebo-controlled study in 309 patients) found that symptom‐free recovery was faster with CMA (5.7 vs 9.2 days). Multi‐omics suggested shifts in metabolites and proteins linked to inflammation and antioxidant capacity.”

“> The Cambridge study, led by Professor Dino Giussani, used pregnant sheep to show that maternal treatment with the antioxidant vitamin C during a complicated pregnancy could protect the adult offspring from developing hypertension and heart disease.”

“Anthocyanins are polyphenolic compounds that exert antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cardioprotective effects, among others. It's noteworthy that freeze-drying blueberries induces considerable anthocyanin losses.”

“Vitamin C is an essential nutrient, widely recognized for its antioxidant properties. The vitamin protects the body from damage caused by reactive oxygen species and participates in many physiological processes, including immune function, wound healing, fatty acid metabolism, neurotransmitter production, and blood vessel formation, as well as other key processes and pathways.”

“A 2010 study found that 7,8-dihydroxyflavone, a BDNF mimetic, exerted neuroprotective qualities similar to those of BDNF. 7,8-dihydroxyflavone is a type of flavonoid compound present in a variety of plants. Flavonoids exert antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, among others.”

“Taxifolin is a naturally occurring compound found in a variety of edible plants. Also known as dihydroquercetin, taxifolin is chemically related to quercetin. Evidence suggests that taxifolin exerts antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties.”

“Findings from a recent study suggest that supplementation with ubiquinol during strenuous exercise provides benefits for bone health and energy metabolism. Ubiquinol, a bioactive compound that exerts antioxidant properties, is the reduced form of coenzyme Q10.”

“CoQ10 is a fat-soluble antioxidant compound produced in the body. It is also widely available as a dietary supplement. CoQ10 is an essential component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, which is responsible for the production of cellular energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP.”
