“In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on PBD Podcast, she describes a two-year randomized trial in healthy but sedentary adults ages 45 to 64. The progressive program combined moderate aerobic work, a longer low-intensity session, interval training, and resistance exercise.”

“Although scientists have identified other lifestyle behaviors that can help prevent the build-up of amyloid plaques by boosting the capacity for glymphatic clearance – such as exercise and adequate intake of omega-3 – the most important factor by far is a good night's sleep, especially deep sleep.”

“However, combining fasting with resistance training can stimulate muscle growth. In this Aliquot, Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses time-restricted eating, fasting, and muscle preservation, highlighting key differences and offering recommendations for specific groups.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick answers audience questions on various health, nutrition, and science topics in this Q&A session.

“In the modern-day with no imposed fasting, these cycles of renewal may remain dormant. In this clip, Dr. Valter Longo discusses how cellular repair mechanisms may have evolved during times of fasting, but are latent in times of food abundance.”

“A large dose-response meta-analysis of prospective studies found that greater non-occupational physical activity was associated with lower risks of total cancer and several site-specific cancers, with meaningful benefits appearing below current guideline levels.”

“The benefits of HIIT include improvements in muscle tissue oxidative capacity, enhanced insulin response, improvements in heart function, and increased lactate – an important source of fuel for the heart, brain, and muscles.”

“In a six-month trial of adults with peripheral artery disease, a flavanol-rich cocoa beverage improved six-minute walking distance measured 2.5 hours after dosing. In older adults with mild cognitive impairment, higher-flavanol cocoa improved selected verbal-fluency and executive-function tests over eight weeks.”
