“A prolonged fast has additional benefits compared to an overnight fast. Overnight the body still has liver glycogen and is not forced to begin burning fat. However, after two days of fasting, or a fasting-mimicking diet, the body starts to burn visceral fat as energy.”

“Ghrelin, a hormone produced in the gut that signals hunger, acts on cells in the hypothalamus to stimulate appetite, increase food intake, and promote growth. It is often referred to as the "hunger hormone."”

“He further details how he combines the ketogenic diet, exogenous ketones, intermittent fasting, and exercise into his daily life. In this clip, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino gives his thoughts on eating an all-meat diet and weighs in on whether it is optimal to eat a diet devoid of fiber.”

“While ketogenic diets may not be optimal for adding muscle mass, they may be suitable for preserving muscle mass and improving other metabolic parameters, particularly during weight loss and fasting.”

“Exogenous ketone supplements can augment a lifestyle ketogenic diet. As an alternative energy source for the brain, ketones stave off hunger when blood glucose levels are low, for example, during a calorie-restricted weight loss diet.”

“Levels of NAD+ vary according to nutrient intake, activity, and even time of day. In fact, the body's circadian rhythms are subject to NAD+ levels, which drive the body's master "clock." Altered NAD+ levels may be the root cause of jet lag and the overall loss of energy we experience as we age.”

“Therefore, researchers must rely on a combination of animal research and relevant biomarkers to estimate how alterations in lifestyle or diet affect human longevity. While both of these approaches have shortcomings, they remain the best tools available until new methodologies emerge.”

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

“Recent discoveries in the field of epigenetics suggest we might be able to slow aging, based on the realization that not everyone ages at the same rate. Evidence suggests that drugs or other medical procedures can slow epigenetic aging, but other factors, such as diet and disease states influence it too.”

“Researchers have observed synergism between the ketogenic diet and hyperbaric oxygen against tumor cells. Moreover, Dr. D'Agostino suggests that ketosis stimulates the immune system, increasing its ability to detect cancer cells.”
