“Advanced glycation end-products, or AGEs for short, are created when the sugars, amino acids, and fats in food encounter heat. AGEs also form in the body during normal glucose metabolism. However, if high levels of AGEs accumulate in the tissues and blood, they can become pathogenic.”

“Dr. Longo has made huge contributions to the field of aging, including the role of fasting and diet in longevity and healthspan in humans as well as metabolic fasting therapies for the treatment of human diseases.”

“In animal models, mice fed a medium-chain triglyceride supplemented ketogenic diet ran farther and faster on a treadmill than animals fed standard chow. In humans, the data supporting the benefit of ketones on performance are less clear.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick answers audience questions on various health, nutrition, and science topics in this Q&A session.

“Dr. Patrick describes increased shear as a possible way vigorous exercise can damage fragile circulating tumor cells; this is a proposed mechanism, not proof that a workout eliminates metastasis or treats an established tumor.”

“Study. 01:43:00 - High animal protein intake was only positively associated with cardiovascular mortality among individuals with at least one unhealthy lifestyle risk factor, such as obesity or sedentary lifestyle. Study.”

“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.”

“Eating a typical Western diet – high in processed foods and sugar-sweetened beverages – raises blood glucose and insulin levels, promotes inflammation, and contributes to many neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease.”

“Stress, pathology, and aging can alter brain energy metabolism. During times of impaired brain energy, the brain may prefer to use ketones as a fuel source. The use of alternate fuel sources allows glucose to be spared for the metabolic pathways that require it.”

“In an observational cohort of 2,545 couples undergoing IVF, women who consumed at least four drinks per week had lower live-birth odds, as did couples in which both partners consumed at least four drinks per week.”
