“DunedinPACE was designed to measure the pace or rate of aging rather than accumulated biological age, making it more like a speedometer than a traditional age estimate. It was trained on longitudinal changes in 19 organ-system biomarkers measured repeatedly in the Dunedin cohort in New Zealand from young adulthood through midlife.”

“Dr. Mark Mattson is an adjunct professor of neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the former chief of the Neuroscience Research Laboratory at the National Institute on Aging.”

“Modern medicine has a "glucose-centric" approach to disease management, often measuring and prioritizing blood glucose levels at the expense of other potentially more relevant biomarkers. The problem is that normal blood sugar levels can mask the more sinister and debilitating problem of insulin resistance.”

“Assessments of episodic memory based on a battery of cognitive tests demonstrated that the rate of cognitive decline experienced by healthy, older people who had amyloid-beta protein accumulation in their brain and who were APOE4 and BDNF Met carriers was roughly three times the rate of decline among those carrying only the BDNF Val allele (the more common form of the gene that retains valine).”

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

“Traditional cancer treatment relies on a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy, often delivered in aggressive regimens. However, emerging research suggests that exercise alone—without additional medical treatments—may slow tumor growth in certain cases.”

“Unlike traditional models that focus solely on the physical or biological aspects of pain, the biopsychosocial approach recognizes that pain is not just a result of tissue damage or injury but is also shaped by an individual's mental state, emotions, and social environment.”

“Mounting evidence suggests that exploiting this property may be useful towards reducing the toxicity of chemotherapeutics while also maximizing their impact in the treatment of cancer.”
