“Telomerase, a reverse transcriptase enzyme, adds specific nucleotide sequences to the ends of existing chromosomes, extending the telomere. Telomerase activity is highly regulated during development, and its activity is almost undetectable in fully developed cells.”

“Loss of insulin sensitivity in muscle increases blood sugar levels, contributing to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease development. The endothelial cells that line blood vessels are also sensitive to the ROS produced by excessive TLR4 activation.”

“00:20:21 - Some of the key blood-based biomarkers that are useful for tracking and projecting future cognitive health, including: homocysteine (<7μml/L preferred), which Dr. Bredesen indicates may be a mediator of cerebral atrophy, and also fasting insulin (<5% preferred), hemoglobin A1c, fasting glucose, vitamin D, and a number of other hormones relevant for trophic support.”

“In this brief episode, we learn how restoring our dietary and sleep pattern to one that more closely syncs with those imposed by nature, especially by avoiding eating within 2-3 hours before bed and onset of melatonin production, may improve our health and potentially prolong our healthspan.”

“If you have used a consumer genetic testing service like 23andMe or AncestryDNA and want to learn more about whether or not the data indicates your specific genotype on these SNPs, check out our free viral report here.”

“Traditional vaccines carrying inactivated viral proteins are also in development. Taking control of our health in a time when many feel confused and hopeless. It is reasonable to avail ourselves of all the advances of modern medicine, including vaccines as they become available.”

“A lively social life might be one of the best defenses against dementia. With more than 50 million people affected worldwide and care costs soaring into the hundreds of billions, finding ways to delay dementia is a public health priority.”

“In other words, even if a person doesn't shed a single pound, the metabolic and physiological benefits of exercise still provide protection. Some of the key mechanisms behind this include: Lowering chronic inflammation, which plays a major role in cancer development.”

“1 02:37:05 - Mothers that chew xylitol gum starting mid-pregnancy and continuing until 6-12 months after birth lowered the oral streptococcus mutan bacteria, which is an anaerobic bacteria that plays a significant role in tooth decay, in their toddlers/children.”

“Tumor suppression: Due to FOXO's ability to alter the cell cycle, promote DNA repair, and induce apoptosis, loss of FOXO activity is linked with tumor development. Longevity: Human longevity and healthy aging are influenced by both environmental and genetic factors.”
