“Dr. Patrick recommends transferring food to glass or ceramic before heating and treating BPA-free labels cautiously because replacement chemicals can have their own biological activity.”

“In this Aliquot, along with Dr. Eran Elinav, I explore how gluten affects the gut barrier, who actually needs to avoid it, and the practical strategies that can help you build a more resilient gut.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick reviews the evidence for nattokinase, how oat beta-glucans may aid with PFAS excretion, and HRT for APOE4 carriers.

“While animal-derived protein has the advantage of containing more amino acids that promote hypertrophy – particularly leucine – research suggests that plant-based proteins can be more viable for supporting muscle than previously thought.”

Dr. Michael Snyder discusses personalized medicine and the use of technologies that monitor metabolism and other health markers.

“A growing body of evidence indicates that the fasting-mimicking diet may be beneficial in treating autoimmune disorders. In these Aliquot segments, Dr. Rhonda Patrick and Dr. Valter Longo describe the roles that diet and fasting play in maintaining or restoring proper immune function.”

“In Part I of this three-part Aliquot series, creatine expert Dr. Darren Candow and I examine creatine through the lens of two critical systems—muscle and bone—and unpack how creatine supplementation affects muscle quality, physical function, and even skeletal health, particularly in older adults.”

“Protein is essential for building and maintaining muscles. Aiming for about 1.2 to 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight (about 0.5 to 0.7 grams per pound) is optimal for maintenance on the lower end and building muscle on the higher end.”

“Consuming sufficient protein is essential for muscle growth and maintenance. Emphasis on specific amino acids within protein, particularly the branched-chain amino acids, probably isn't necessary unless you're an elite athlete or an older adult.”

“Dr. Patrick also revises an earlier concern about acrylamide: although roasting can form it, the human evidence she reviews does not show that ordinary coffee intake raises cancer risk, and the overall epidemiology points in the opposite direction for several cancers.”
