“Studies using CT imaging associate higher visceral fat with insulin resistance and increased risks of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and mortality. Visceral fat can respond to changes in energy balance and physical activity.”

“In this member Q&A clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick explains why ApoB is a useful cardiovascular marker. Each VLDL and LDL particle carries one ApoB molecule, so the measurement approximates the number of circulating atherogenic particles more directly than the cholesterol mass inside them.”

“Dose and retesting must account for baseline status and clinical context. A large randomized trial found that daily vitamin D supplementation did not reduce invasive cancer, major cardiovascular events, or all-cause mortality in generally healthy older adults.”

“They both raise NAD+ levels and have been shown to counteract the effects of an obesogenic diet, promote mitochondrial health, improve markers of cardiovascular health, and slow both physical and mental aging.”

“In a study of more than 25,000 UK Biobank adults who reported no structured exercise, about three short VILPA bouts per day were associated with 38 to 40 percent lower all-cause and cancer mortality and 48 to 49 percent lower cardiovascular mortality compared with no VILPA.”

“The beneficial properties of vitamin C extend beyond its ability to support immune function support and prevention of colds, conferring a wide range of salubrious effects on multiple organ systems, including respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological, and reproductive systems.”

“After about 7.5 weeks, nighttime diastolic blood-pressure dipping improved by approximately 3.5 percentage points, and nighttime heart-rate dipping also improved. The trial measured these short-term physiological outcomes rather than cardiovascular events.”

“These risk reductions also took into account factors such as physical activity, education, smoking, and overall diet quality. The authors concluded that high intake of both vitamin K1 and vitamin K2 are protective against atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.”

“Whole fruits and vegetables add water, vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, and an intact food matrix alongside fiber. Large cohorts associate higher fruit and vegetable intake with lower total, cardiovascular, cancer, and respiratory mortality, with benefits leveling near five servings per day.”

“Cold immersion requires a gradual approach, supervision, a safe exit, and extra caution for people with cardiovascular or pulmonary conditions. This clip is excerpted, with permission, from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on PBD Podcast #740.”
