“He hypothesizes that stress makes one more prone to suffer an injury and thus the immune system gets stimulated during times of stress. In this clip, Dr. Charles Raison describes how the body has evolved to employ some of the same physiological mechanisms in depression and physical illnesses.”

“Dr. Patrick uses skin thickness as a simple buying framework: thin-skinned produce such as strawberries and apples receives more priority for organic purchasing than avocados, bananas, or oranges with peels that are removed.”

“Dr. Patrick also describes a trial in vitamin-D-deficient, overweight African-American adults in which 4,000 IU per day reduced an epigenetic-age measure by almost two years. Epigenetic age is a surrogate biomarker, not proof that vitamin D slowed clinical aging, prevented disease, or extended life.”

“In fact, Dr. George Church and his team of researchers have been able to use gene editing to make cells in the laboratory resistant to infection from all viruses. Could cell therapies confer this total viral resistance in humans in the future?”

“Dr. Patrick treats magnesium L-threonate separately. Early human findings are limited by small studies, industry funding, and products that sometimes include coingredients, making it difficult to attribute effects to L-threonate alone.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses saturated fats and LDL, luteolin's benefits, glyphosate risks, natural vs. artificial flavors, and black cumin seed effects.

“Measuring 25-hydroxyvitamin D helps place these factors in context. When sunlight is insufficient, Dr. Patrick favors vitamin D3 over vitamin D2 and stresses that dose should match the person rather than follow a universal rule.”

“Dr. Rhonda Patrick talks at SF Nerd Nite about transgenerational effects of caloric restriction on longevity, B-vitamins silencing bad genes, cognitive stimulation reversing neurodegenerative disease, exercise increases neurogenesis, and ways in which vitamin D might influence aging.”

“Dr. Patrick describes strategies you can apply immediately to enhance cellular health, protect the nervous system, elevate mood, reduce inflammation, promote muscle and bone function, and help prevent chronic disease.”

“Scientists have also identified interesting links between depression and obesity – likely mediated by elevated inflammation, since fat cells produce a wide array of inflammatory factors. In this Aliquot segment, psychiatrist Dr. Charles Raison describes the links between inflammation and depression.”
