“Vitamins and minerals participate in biological processes that shape molecular aging signals, including gene regulation, antioxidant defense, and the control of cellular stress. Inadequate micronutrient availability can disrupt these systems, contributing to chronic inflammation, oxidative damage, and metabolic strain, all processes linked to accelerated biological aging.”

“Periodontitis is driven by a persistent inflammatory response in the gums triggered by bacterial plaque. Lycopene has antioxidant properties, meaning it can help counteract oxidative stress that contributes to this process.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses urolithin A, postmenopausal protein, microplastics, high-temperature saunas, sugar intake, and supplements for Parkinson's disease.

“Jet lag often shows up as fatigue after a long flight, reflecting a mismatch between your internal clock and the external world. In this Aliquot, joined by Drs. Michael Grandner and Darren Candow, I explain how jet lag works, which signals are most important for resetting your clock, and how to reduce jet lag before travel and recover more quickly after arrival.”

“Visceral fat is metabolically active and is associated with increased markers of inflammation and oxidative stress, and decreased levels of anti-inflammatory proteins, such as adiponectin The cross-sectional study involved 974 cognitively healthy females and males (average age, ~50 years).”

“Your skin is a crucial barrier to the outside world – the first line of defense against environmental exposures, and the primary means by which the body retains fluids necessary for survival. Consequently, maintaining a healthy skin barrier is important for your overall health. In this Aliquot, Dr. Patrick describes some things you can do to protect your skin.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses joint aging prevention, avoiding heavy metals in protein, reducing migraines, nicotinamide for skin, and minimizing jet lag.
