“In this Institute for Functional Medicine excerpt, Dr. Rhonda Patrick answers a longevity question with a food-first premise: identify essential micronutrients and choose foods that supply them before focusing only on what to avoid.”

“In a small crossover trial involving people with insulin resistance, six one-minute intense intervals performed before the three main meals improved daily glucose control compared with one continuous 30-minute session.”

“Clinical symptoms of magnesium deficiency are unlikely, but long term insufficiency can lead to the accumulation of DNA damage over time, which is associated with the diseases of aging. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick talks about the importance of obtaining adequate magnesium in the diet.”

“A pooled analysis estimated effects of about 0.07 standard deviation for global cognition and 0.06 for episodic memory, providing evidence that a standard multivitamin can support selected cognitive outcomes in some older adults.”

“Severe sleep deprivation offers one such model. In a randomized crossover study of 15 healthy young adults, a single dose of 0.35 grams per kilogram changed brain-energy measures and reduced deterioration on selected cognitive tasks during about 21 hours awake.”

“The mood improvements were found until we hit the ceiling, which is surprisingly high at 8 servings. The study followed more than 12,000 randomly selected people and found large positive psychological benefits within two years of an improved diet.”

“A large body of evidence suggests that daily DHA supplementation is associated with decreased rates of early preterm birth, particularly in women with low baseline DHA status. DHA supplementation presents an effective high yield, low-risk strategy to reduce early preterm birth.”

“Normalizing the timing of food intake via time-restricted eating may help restore microbiome composition, potentially offsetting the increased disease risk. In this clip, Dr. Eran Elinav describes how the circadian rhythmicity of the microbiome is regulated and how this affects human health.”

“Bruce argues that while diseases of severe vitamin D deficiency like rickets are rare, the criteria for vitamin D deficiency should be based on long-term health biomarkers and not just short-term severe diseases.”

“A meta-analysis showed that men and women achieved similar increases in muscle with resistance training, despite men having higher testosterone levels. While daily fluctuations in testosterone do not drive muscle protein synthesis, supraphysiological steroid doses are anabolic.”
