“The “Big Mac effect”, a colloquial term coined by Ronald Krauss, refers to this negative impact, which may become the focus of a full-fledged nutritional research study once funding is available. In this clip, Ronald Krauss discusses the negative combinative effect of consuming added sugars and saturated fat together.”

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

“In this clip from her FoundMyFitness interview with Dr. Layne Norton, Dr. Rhonda Patrick asks why seed oils attract so much criticism. Dr. Norton explains that these oils are generally rich in polyunsaturated fat and can add substantial energy to processed foods.”

“Body recomposition, or "recomp," involves improving body composition by simultaneously decreasing fat and increasing muscle mass. Dr. Schoenfeld asserts that resistance training alone is a poor strategy for losing weight and is most valuable when used as an adjunct to calorie reduction.”

“Other hormetic responses to cold exposure include increased production of PGC1-alpha, a protein that promotes mitochondrial biogenesis, the production of new, healthy mitochondria, and the activation of brown fat – a phenomenon once thought to occur only in newborns, but now known to occur in adults, especially after cold exposure.”

“The fasting-mimicking diet decreases visceral fat and researchers suspect that the fat-burning mode continues for some time after fasting has stopped. Upon refeeding, muscle mass is rebuilt and contributes to an overall increase in percentage of lean body mass.”

“The impact of the ketogenic diet on gut bacteria has not been actively studied. In animal models high-fat diets are thought to provoke the release of endotoxin from bacterial cell membranes resulting in negative health consequences. In this clip, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino and Dr. Rhonda Patrick discuss the ketogenic diet and its implications for gut health.”

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

“Human imaging research associates stronger hypothalamic insulin responsiveness with less visceral fat and better long-term weight-loss maintenance. A separate randomized inpatient trial helps place the five-day experiment in a broader dietary context.”
