“- Axel Montagne, Ph.D. While we await potential breakthroughs in targeting elements of the neurovascular unit in the blood-brain barrier directly with stem cell therapeutics, gene therapies, and other cutting-edge techniques, there are things we can do now to better support vascular health and thereby help maintain the integrity of the blood-brain barrier.”

“Dr. Unutmaz describes aging partly as a loss of biological resilience: the declining ability to repair damage, maintain cellular identity, resolve inflammation, and return to baseline after stress. That perspective helps explain his interest in cellular reprogramming.”

“The reason why having more foxo3 is associated with longevity is because it turns on a whole host of genes that are involved in stress resistance making you more resilient to the damage associated with aging that occurs every day. One more reason to eat your salmon!”

“Getting an adequate amount of quality sleep is increasingly recognized as vital for mental and physical health. Sleep deprivation can increase stress hormones associated with anxiety and depression and greater risk of chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease.”

“Adverse events occurred at similar rates in both groups. ALA helps mitochondrial enzymes function properly by acting as a cofactor in energy metabolism and reducing oxidative stress.”

“Respiratory rate may provide an especially responsive view of stress. In a study of 525 first-year college students, each one-breath-per-minute increase in average nightly respiratory rate was associated with 23% higher odds of moderate-to-high perceived stress.”

“Scientists mentioned Ulrik Wisløff – WorldFitnessLevel.org calculator and pioneering work on high-intensity interval training and cardiovascular disease. Justin Brown, Ph.D. – Researches how exercise-induced increases in vascular shear stress reduce the risk of cancer recurrence and metastasis.”

“Satchin's work deals specifically with the timing of food and its relationship with our biological clocks, which are governed by a circadian rhythm. "Mice that ate within a 12-hour time period had 70% less fat and 28% less total body mass.".”
