“Dom's efforts at teasing out the differences between induced nutritional ketosis (through a low carbohydrate, high fat diet) and ketosis from the dietary introduction of exogenous ketones, like beta-hydroxybutyrate, especially in the context of therapeutic and performance enhancing effects.”

“A meta-analysis of 49 resistance-training studies found small additional gains from protein supplementation, with fat-free-mass gains leveling near 1.6 grams per kilogram per day in the studied populations.”

“The supplemented mice also exhibited increased levels of PPAR-alpha, a protein that regulates fat metabolism by increasing uptake and utilization. " An in vivo study in mice fed an obesogenic diet (high fat and high sugar) with or without vitamin C found that vitamin C reduced body weight gain, particularly in terms of fat mass, compared to mice fed the obesogenic diet alone.”

“Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Mortality Risk Across the Spectra of Age, Race, and Sex. Body Fat Distribution, Incident Cardiovascular Disease, Cancer, and All-Cause Mortality. Effect of Colonoscopy Screening on Risks of Colorectal Cancer and Related Death.”

“Dr. Patrick suggests avocado as a creamy alternative that also supplies dietary fat. In small human crossover studies, adding avocado to salsa or salad increased absorption of lycopene, beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, and lutein.”

“Findings from the study demonstrated that metformin inhibited mitochondrial adaptations and improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness by 50 percent and diminished whole-body insulin sensitivity after aerobic exercise. However, metformin did not reduce improvements in HbA1c, fasting insulin, blood glucose, fat mass, or skeletal muscle telomere length.”

“Autophagy is a cellular defense mechanism that gathers protein aggregates, pathogens, and damaged or dysfunctional organelles into vesicles within the cell and then delivers them for destruction. Subsequently, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids are released for energy and re-use.”

“During fasting, once the available glucose has been depleted, cancer cells must obtain their energy from fat. As this is not their preferred metabolic pathway, they become desperate, leading some cells to die.”

“In a controlled trial, re-esterified triglycerides produced greater EPA and DHA bioavailability than ethyl esters at the same intake. In a separate randomized crossover study, exposure after a single omega-3 ethyl ester dose was 25-fold higher when taken after a high-fat meal than while fasting.”

“Reduced inflammation – Butyrate promotes regulatory T cell maturation. Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) is a ketone body that can be synthesized from butyrate, dietary fats, body fat, or ketogenic amino acids.”
