“Dr. Cronise describes his extended, unsupplemented fast after which he observed no apparent metabolic changes, and he challenges the paradigm that nutrients need to be balanced daily. In this clip, Dr. Ray Cronise and Dr. Rhonda Patrick discuss the importance of diet in maximizing healthspan and longevity.”

“Animal studies indicate that omega-3 deficiency may also reduce GLUT1 transporters in the brain. Other studies suggest that omega-3 supplementation reduces VCAM1 levels – a protein elevated with normal aging, which could be related to the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier.”

“Observational physiology research from his group links more frequent lifelong endurance exercise with higher VO2 max and more favorable cardiovascular function, while stopping short of proving that one exact schedule is uniquely optimal.”

“Circulating LPS can also bind to lipoproteins, facilitating their absorption in the liver during LDL recycling, effectively removing LPS from circulation and lowering systemic inflammation – a phenomenon demonstrated mechanistically with statins that increase lipoprotein recycling by increasing LDL receptors.”

“Statins can reduce the risk of heart disease by 30 to 40 percent due to their ability to increase LDL receptor activity and reduce blood cholesterol levels. Whether the drugs are overprescribed (or perhaps under-prescribed) is a matter of great debate.”

“A 2025 meta-analysis found improved quality of life, no clear overall change in ejection fraction, and a borderline improvement in New York Heart Association functional class across a small set of trials.”

“Conversely, animal studies suggest that caloric restriction may slow epigenetic aging. In this clip, Dr. Steve Horvath describes research suggesting that caloric restriction in animals, although it is unclear this will translate to humans.”

“In this Aliquot, I walk through how that plays out in humans, where the strongest evidence shows up, and where it doesn't, with NAD researcher Dr. Charles Brenner—and why I'm taking it now after being skeptical.”

Drs. Levine and Patrick discuss how and why individuals age at different rates and how menopause & obesity may increase an individual's rate of aging.

“Timing provides a practical compromise. Dr. van Loon favors protecting the first several hours after resistance or endurance training, then placing cold exposure later in the day or on a recovery day when muscle adaptation is the priority.”
