“Currently, only nicotinamide riboside has been shown to raise plasma NAD+ levels and may possibly have beneficial health effects in humans. Future research, focused on "super boosters," may have relevance for treating complex diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer's.”

“While all you need to make an mRNA vaccine is the nucleotide sequence of interest, and they are easy to make in mass quantities. In the last decade, mRNA vaccines were used as immunotherapeutic agents for the treatment of cancer.”

“In another study, women who were at high risk for breast cancer lost more belly fat and had increased insulin sensitivity practicing 5:2 intermittent fasting compared to women consuming a normal eating pattern with 25 percent reduced calories.”

“Two sessions of resistance exercise per week — a total of 50 minutes of activity — improves depression symptoms in young adults. Vigorous Intermittent Lifestyle Physical Activity and Cancer Incidence Among Nonexercising Adults: The UK Biobank Accelerometry Study.”

“In a microfluidic laboratory model, exposure to exercise-level shear stress caused more than 90% of circulating tumor cells to become necrotic during the first four hours, while many surviving cells later entered apoptosis. This experimental mechanism provides a reason to study exercise intensity alongside clinical cancer outcomes.”

“A May 2025 Nature paper showed taurine uptake may fuel aggressive myeloid leukemias in laboratory and mouse models, illustrating how nutrients beneficial to healthy tissues may also feed certain cancers.”

“Dr. Patrick discusses vitamin C mainly as a way to support adequacy when dietary intake is low. She cautions that active colon or liver cancer can change the decision about glutamine because some tumors may use it.”

“When cells are exposed to Yamanaka factors for too long, Dr. Horvath explains, this loss of cellular identity may carry cancer risk. In support of this hypothetical approach, a study using a mouse model of premature aging showed that short-term expression of four of these factors ameliorated cellular and physiological hallmarks of aging and prolonged lifespan.”

“He suggests that people who choose to drink protect sleep consistency, diet quality, and gut-supportive foods, while recognizing that these habits do not cancel alcohol’s direct effects or the rising cancer risk at higher intake.”
