“A separate group of investigators, using a portion-controlled ketogenic diet showed similar results. The mice on the portion-controlled ketogenic diet did even better, suggesting that the cyclic nature may be somewhat stressful for the animals.”

“Sugar that is found naturally in fruits is complexed with fiber that slows down the absorption. In addition, whole foods have much less sugar in them than processed foods that have added sugars. In addition Dr. Krauss shares his feelings on the glycemic index. In this clip, Dr. Ronald Krauss explains how simple sugars are the culprit for many of the diseases he has studied.”

“Since the long-term consequences of metformin are unknown, a viable approach to depriving cancer cells of glucose, their preferred energy source, might be to limit dietary sugar intake. In this clip, Tim Ferriss and Dr. Rhonda Patrick discuss the anti-cancer properties of the diabetes drug metformin.”

“Mouse studies of feeding during infection also found different responses across bacterial and viral models, so a minimally processed dietary pattern, regular exercise, and normal hydration and nutrition during illness provide a more useful foundation than one universal food or fasting rule.”

“In turn, cellular levels of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD+, a coenzyme that participates in the production of cellular energy, rise, switching on energy-generating pathways and activating enzymes such as sirtuins.”

“The research for pharmaceuticals is better funded and easier to design studies. Nevertheless, Dr. Krauss explains that he believes both are impactful for correcting LDL levels and mitigating risk of cardiovascular disease.”

“Although alcohol may help us feel calm and ready to sleep, it has surprising effects on REM sleep and maybe our waking behaviors too. In this Aliquot, Dr. Matthew Walker, Tim Ferriss, and I discuss some of the risks and surprising effects of alcohol on human health and behavior.”

“In STEP 1, once-weekly semaglutide plus lifestyle support produced an average weight reduction of 14.9% over 68 weeks, compared with 2.4% with placebo, establishing strong efficacy for selected adults with overweight or obesity.”

“In Aliquots #131 and #133, leading researcher Dr. Darren Candow and I examined creatine's benefits for muscle quality, physical function, skeletal health, and brain resilience, especially in older adults.”

“Early discoveries in aging research revealed that sirtuins, a class of enzymes that control gene expression, modulate lifespan by mimicking the effects of calorie restriction – the chronic reduction of energy intake.”
