“Exercise can improve blood pressure, insulin sensitivity, triglycerides, and fitness, but someone with high ApoB or LDL may still need targeted diet changes and clinician-guided lipid-lowering treatment. Mood is another major benefit.”

“Valter Longo, Ph.D. on the Fasting-Mimicking Diet & Fasting for Longevity, Cancer & Multiple Sclerosis. Dr. Valter Longo on Resetting Autoimmunity and Rejuvenating Systems with Prolonged Fasting & the FMD. Ruth Patterson, Ph.D. on Time-Restricted Eating in Humans & Breast Cancer Prevention.”

“Both the DHA-containing diet and the injected DHA increased levels of hypothalamic neurogenesis at rates similar to or superior to those observed with BDNF. These findings suggest that dietary intake of PUFAs such as DHA show promise as a strategy to ameliorate hypothalamic neuronal losses associated with obesity.”

“Overall, serum zonulin decreased following eight weeks of a polyphenol-rich diet, meaning that gut barrier integrity improved. Participants who started the trial with better gut barrier integrity had a significantly greater increase in blood levels of polyphenol metabolites compared to participants with leakier guts.”

“Then they performed fMRI scans on 12 young adults (average age, 28 years) to assess how different energy sources – glucose versus ketones – alter brain function. Each participant underwent three scans under different dietary conditions: a normal diet without fasting, a normal diet with overnight fasting, or a ketogenic diet for one week.”

“Participants answered questionnaires about their normal diet and provided blood, urine, and fecal samples at multiple times over the 14 study days. Finally, the investigators performed a sigmoid colonoscopy and took biopsy samples in order to directly sample the microbiota and intestinal environment.”

“However, after one year of intervention, the researchers found that memory improved among those with lower diet quality or low flavanol intake. These findings suggest that low dietary flavanol intake contributes to age-related cognitive decline, specifically hippocampal-dependent memory, but flavanol supplementation counteracts these effects.”

“In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on The Dan Bongino Show, she explains that the amount of EPA and DHA needed to change the Omega-3 Index varies with baseline status, body size, formulation, diet, and adherence.”

“Sleep restriction increased calorie intake, body weight, and visceral fat, showing how sleep and energy balance can interact. Menopause can also shift fat toward the abdomen as hormonal changes combine with age, activity, diet, sleep, and total fat gain.”

“Independent finished-product testing can verify identity and selected contaminants, while diet, laboratory results, medicines, kidney health, age, and life stage can guide decisions about iron, vitamin D, omega-3, and magnesium.”
