“↑ autophagy → ↑ extracellular ATP → activation of purinergic receptor-mediated immunosurveillance. 00:48:49 - The importance of the triggering of this immunosurveilance system as part of the cell death associated with chemotherapy.”

“Dr. Rhonda Patrick explains that regular aerobic exercise can support several parts of immune function that change with age. In a 10-month trial of adults age 64 and older, moderate aerobic training improved selected antibody responses to influenza vaccination.”

“Many studies suggest that short-chain fatty acids derived from the gut microbiota promote the expansion of T-regulatory cells, maintain gut barrier function, regulate cytokine production, and support immune cell populations.”

“Global vaccination programs are actively delivering COVID-19 vaccines to people around the world. A recent innovation in vaccinology involves the exploitation of messenger RNA, or mRNA — the intermediate molecule between DNA in the nucleus and proteins in the cell.”

“A healthy intestinal barrier limits the transport of pathogens and endotoxins from the gut to the bloodstream; however, increased gut permeability (known as "leaky gut") raises endotoxin levels, leading to metabolic endotoxemia.”

Dr. Kerry Courneya explains to Dr. Rhonda Patrick how exercise may support tumor perfusion, immune surveillance, and treatment response.

“Traditional vaccines take many years to develop. A recent innovation in vaccine technology involves exploitation of messenger RNA, or mRNA, to facilitate rapid scaling of vaccines and expedite their modification if the virus mutates significantly.”

“Scientists have also identified interesting links between depression and obesity – likely mediated by elevated inflammation, since fat cells produce a wide array of inflammatory factors. In this Aliquot segment, psychiatrist Dr. Charles Raison describes the links between inflammation and depression.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses stroke risk, eczema, immune resilience, her new smoothie recipe, and whether everyone should cut out gluten.

“Poor sleep reduces the body's insulin sensitivity and changes a person's appetite, increasing the preference for high carbohydrate foods like pizza, pasta, and sweets. Lack of sleep also alters the gut microbiota and impairs immunity, putting us at risk for developing acute illnesses like colds and flu.”
