“A growing body of evidence suggests that fat plays a role in the activation of stem cells. Fasting generates molecules such as fatty acids, ketone bodies and glycerol, providing a favorable environment for stem cell activation and renewal.”

“A recent study suggests that dietary patterns that promote ketosis improve brain metabolism and function. Ketosis is a metabolic state that results in the body’s production and use of ketones (byproducts of fatty acid metabolism).”

“Each of the diet's versions elicits ketosis, to varying degrees, but circulating levels of ketones probably don't tell the whole story – good reason to employ a graduated approach when starting the diet, whether in a clinical setting or at home.”

“Liberalizing the diet by altering protein, fat, and fiber intake may make the diet more tolerable. For those who have difficulty reaching and sustaining ketosis, ketone supplementation may be beneficial, but their use might interfere with weight loss.”

“These changes drive processes that improve cellular respiration, reduce inflammation, enhance memory, and provide protection from cancer – critical aspects in slowing the effects of aging and promoting longevity. Part II of this three-part Aliquot features Dr. Dominic D'Agostino, an expert in ketosis; Dr. Eric Verdin, an expert in aging; and Dr. Valter Longo, an expert in gerontology.”

“These Aliquot segments feature Dr. Ruth Patterson, an expert in cancer epidemiology; Dr. Valter Longo, an expert in aging science; Dr. Satchin Panda, an expert in circadian rhythm research; and Dr. Dominic D'Agostino, an expert in ketosis.”

“Ketones measurable in the blood, urine or breath signal whether a person is in ketosis and metabolizing fats instead of glucose. In this clip, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino details the macronutrient ratios that make up the broad spectrum of ketogenic diets.”

“Part I of this three-part Aliquot segment features Dr. Dale Bredesen, an expert in Alzheimer's disease; Dr. Dominic D'Agostino, an expert in ketosis; and Dr. Peter Attia, a medical doctor specializing in aging.”

“By studying ischemic wounds, which are analogous to an aged brain or clogged arteries, researchers observed increased blood flow when ketone levels were elevated. Nutritional ketosis may also reduce neural inflammation which may be a predictor of seizure in epilepsy.”

“Furthermore, ketosis induced during fasting has a beneficial effect. In this clip, Dr. Eric Verdin describes how fasting or a fasting-mimicking diet can influence healthspan and lifespan including discussion of some of the potential mechanisms.”
