“A 12-month randomized controlled trial found that vitamin D supplementation improved cognitive function, intelligence quotient scores, telomere length, and lowered oxidative stress markers in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (compared to placebo), suggesting that not only does vitamin D supplementation improve biomarkers of aging, but also functional outcomes.”

“01:01:48 - How Dr. Church is working on a combination gene therapy to reverse age-related biomarkers, focusing on genes with cell non-autonomous effects, producing soluble factors that can rejuvenate the whole body – similar to how factors in young blood revitalized old organs in animal studies.”

“Identifying biomarkers in muscle tissue similar to the Omega-3 Index, which correlates to cardiovascular risk, could help standardize the research. In this episode, Dr. Chris McGlory and I discuss the many roles that omega-3 fatty acids play in preserving muscle mass, strength, and function in aging.”

“1 2 3 4 01:08:31 - How patients with Parkinson’s disease have higher levels of inflammatory biomarkers and how this might contribute to the disease. 1 Learn more about Dr. Petzinger from her profile at the Keck School of Medicine of USC.”

“In this podcast, Valter and I discuss his research in mice and humans looking at how prolonged fasting and a fasting mimicking diet on improves biomarkers of longevity, increases stem cells, improves cancer prevention, enhances cancer treatment and diminishes toxic side effects of chemotherapy, and mitigates autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis by changing immune cells phenotypes.”

“The risk of major depression has been shown to increase by 44% for each standard deviation increase in log c-reactive protein (inflammatory biomarker). Inflammation is caused by a variety of factors including emotional/social stress, poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, poor sleep, and more.”

“Findings of a new report link high saturated-fat diets to increased heart disease biomarkers among mice with high levels of E. coli bacteria. The gut microbiota, the community of bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses that lives in the human intestine, is highly influenced by changes in diet.”

“The benefits of HIIT include improvements in muscle tissue oxidative capacity, enhanced insulin response, improvements in heart function, and increased lactate – an important source of fuel for the heart, brain, and muscles.”
