“Identifying environmental exposures can paint a clear picture of our disease risk and allow us to make informed decisions about diet and lifestyle to mitigate some of that risk. In this clip, Dr. Michael Snyder describes how exposure to airborne biological and chemical agents affects our health.”

“Dr. Snyder focuses on weight training, recently gaining 10 pounds of muscle, in a hedge to stave off sarcopenia — or age-related loss of muscle mass that can lead to frailty. He centers his diet around managing his blood glucose levels and strives to reach his daily fiber needs.”

“During the exercise and diet program, body-fat percentage fell significantly more with creatine than placebo: 3.24 versus 1.87 percentage points. Creatine increases muscle stores of phosphocreatine, which rapidly replenishes energy during forceful contractions.”

“The response to these tenets was the expansion of a low-fat, high carbohydrate diet industry that remains in vogue today, despite the evidence demonstrating that such dietary practices may promote atherogenic dyslipidemia and increase heart disease risk.”

“Other cohorts have produced less consistent cancer findings, so the strongest practical message is to meet magnesium needs through foods such as leafy greens, legumes, nuts, seeds, and whole grains, with supplements individualized for diet, kidney function, and medications.”

“Microbial responses to individual components of a person's diet may influence host health. Food ingredients, such as artificial sweeteners and dietary emulsifiers, are typically thought to be inert, however, recent evidence suggests they impact gut microbes, ultimately influencing human health.”

“DAD and DAT shifted liver fat toward smaller droplets compared with untreated mice under both diets. However, the clearest difference was seen under the high-fat diet, which is known to promote liver fat accumulation and larger fat droplets.”

“They struggled to get enough high-fat diet mice to successfully carry pregnancies to term, but in the control diet group, they had "perfect fertility" and could follow offspring outcomes. In the mothers on the control diet who received NR, the offspring had better lean mass at weaning, which was maintained long-term.”

“While no of this data proves causation, there is a growing body of research showing that excess refined sugar does increase inflammation which crosses the blood-brain barrier and acceleration brain aging. Regarding the diet soda, there have been studies linking artificial sweeteners to disruption of the gut microbiome which also causes inflammation which can lead to brain aging.”

“Sweat also contains magnesium, so physical activity and heat exposure can contribute to losses, but the amount varies with sweat rate, duration, acclimation, diet, and collection method. Supplemental intake should account for elemental magnesium, kidney function, and medicine interactions.”
