“I also discuss the brain benefits of lactate (it's not just a metabolic byproduct), the cancer-preventing effects of exercise, squeezing more vigorous activity into your day, and many other topics I know you'll find interesting!”

“In this Aliquot, I explain exactly what homocysteine is, how it impacts both cardiovascular and brain health, and how simple nutritional strategies—like supplementing with vitamins B6, B12, and methylfolate—can help bring levels down, supporting healthy aging and sharper cognitive function.”

“Inflammation, a downstream consequence of insulin resistance, promotes the formation of reactive oxygen species and other damaging molecules, which can enter the brain via the lymphatic system.”

“Two such issues are blood flow reduction and blood-brain barrier leakage, which can be detected up to 10 years or more before cognitive decline, providing an opportunity for intervention with the right therapeutic approach.”

“Yet, despite this indication and the evidence that omega-3 is broadly and potentially powerfully cardioprotective, Dr. Bill Harris no longer believes triglyceride reduction is central to the benefits of high omega-3 intake.”

“Bruce explains that this may still leave people insufficient for long-term diseases. In light of his triage theory, this means a poor diet may have enough nutrition to prevent serious acute diseases but still lead to accelerated aging and long-term diseases.”

“In part I of this two-part series on the future of aging research, we discussed the hallmarks of aging and the cutting-edge therapies aimed at understanding and manipulating the complex processes underlying these hallmarks, including epigenetic aging clocks and pluripotent stem cells.”

“While there are no human clinical studies evaluating the effectiveness of melatonin for COVID-19, melatonin has been shown to prevent acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome due to viral infection in animal studies.”

In this clip, Drs. Levine and Patrick discuss lifestyle factors that accelerate epigenetic aging including smoking cigarettes or having a low omega-3 index.

“In a separate analysis of seven intervention trials involving people with type 2 diabetes, HbA1c fell by about 0.71 percentage points, total cholesterol by 23 mg/dL, and LDL cholesterol by 22 mg/dL.”
