“Dr. Panda and his colleagues discovered that specialized cells in the eye, called intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, entrain the circadian clock to light, ultimately regulating melatonin release.”

“Whereas its link to diabetes is well known, what is likely underappreciated is that refined sugar may be linked to as many as 200,000 deaths worldwide each year from diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer combined. Refined sugar also affects the brain.”

“Although the drug is well-tolerated, it does carry safety concerns, including the risk for retinal damage and cardiovascular complications such as irregular heart rhythms. Only well-designed randomized clinical trials will demonstrate hydroxychloroquine's true effectiveness as a treatment for COVID-19.”

“Dr. David Sinclair on Informational Theory of Aging, Nicotinamide Mononucleotide, Resveratrol & More - covers aging mechanisms, Yamanaka factors, retinal rejuvenation, and partial reprogramming.”

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

“One closely watched application is optic nerve regeneration, where researchers (including previous FoundMyFitness guest Dr. David Sinclair) have explored AAV-based delivery of reprogramming factors with the goal of restoring youthful repair capacity in retinal ganglion cells.”

“Mounting evidence suggests that vitamin D has a much broader role than initially thought — including regulating many genes and participating in the immune system. In the setting of COVID-19, vitamin D deficiency can lead to imbalances in the renin-angiotensin-system, a critical regulator of blood pressure, inflammation, and body fluid homeostasis.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses child nutrition, osteoporosis, cholesterol-lowering supplements, her skincare routine, and fasting versus prioritizing protein.

“Advanced glycation end-products, or AGEs for short, are created when the sugars, amino acids, and fats in food encounter heat. AGEs also form in the body during normal glucose metabolism. However, if high levels of AGEs accumulate in the tissues and blood, they can become pathogenic.”

“Mitophagy also plays roles in metabolic adaptation and development. In this clip, Dr. Guido Kroemer describes mitophagy, a cellular signal for mitochondrial biogenesis and a key player in other physiological processes.”
