“In a study of more than 25,000 UK Biobank adults who reported no structured exercise, about three short VILPA bouts per day were associated with 38 to 40 percent lower all-cause and cancer mortality and 48 to 49 percent lower cardiovascular mortality compared with no VILPA.”

“Dr. Patrick also connects glucose regulation with brain health. In a cohort of cognitively healthy adults ages 60 to 64 without diabetes, higher fasting glucose within the conventional normal range was associated with greater hippocampal and amygdala atrophy over four years.”

“Combining vitamin D supplementation with regular exercise outperformed the control group and often exceeded single interventions across several metabolic outcomes: The combined intervention lowered fasting insulin more than control, exercise alone, and vitamin D alone.”

“A randomized clinical trial involving 97 people with diabetes compared the effects of berberine, metformin, and rosiglitazone for two months. Berberine (1 gram per day) lowered the participants' fasting blood glucose, hemoglobin (Hb)A1c (a measure of long-term blood glucose control), triglycerides, and insulin levels.”

“Their analysis revealed that supplementation elicited beneficial effects on the study participants, with modest but notable improvements observed in BMI, body weight, body fat, fasting glucose, and fasting insulin, compared with the effects of placebo treatments.”

“Phthalates have been shown to lower testosterone levels & block effects of testosterone on organs & tissues. Phthalates can also be passed from mother to fetus through the placenta and may result in abnormal sexual development.”

“Despite a beneficial improvement in vascular health, creatine did not improve biomarkers of oxidative stress but did improve fasting blood glucose from 103 to 99 mg/dL and triglycerides from 100 to 84 mg/dL. Both of these are traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors.”
