“This effect, sometimes called the 'afterburn effect,' does have some scientific basis, according to recent podcast guest Dr. Martin Gibala. In scientific terms, it's known as EPOC or Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption.”

“Diets of all types can result in the loss of fat and water, but also lean muscle mass. The fasting-mimicking diet decreases visceral fat and researchers suspect that the fat-burning mode continues for some time after fasting has stopped.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses xylitol safety, strategies to reduce hemoglobin A1C, klotho and dementia risk, and the timing of hormone replacement therapy.

“In a 12-week trial involving people with fatty liver disease, exercise reduced liver triglyceride content and visceral-fat area, showing that changes in fat distribution can occur without large changes in body weight.”

“As we get older, the equilibrium of the biochemical processes that maintain muscles – anabolism and catabolism – wanes, creating an imbalance in muscle protein turnover and driving sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass and strength that accompanies aging.”

“Injuries – sometimes the result of exercising – can leave one immobile for long periods, having deleterious effects on muscle mass. When these periods occur later in life, they can exacerbate age-related metabolic dysfunction and accelerate the downward trajectory of muscle loss.”

“Exercise activates pathways that are involved in maintaining connections between neurons, making them stronger and repairing damage. In this clip, Dr. Giselle Petzinger describes how exercise may provide a repair model that allows some type of resilience against the insults of Parkinson's disease.”

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

“A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that there's a correlation between nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management and having longer telomeres. Identifying the mechanisms that drive these correlations has proven challenging, but a few candidates stand out, including improvements in immune function and metabolic health.”

“Specific topics include autophagy, the process of recycling dysfunctional cells that is induced by fasting and fasting-mimicking drugs such as resveratrol and spermidine. Rhonda discusses the effects of fasting on Parkinson's disease and which groups of people should not fast.”
