Explore Rhonda Patrick's conversations with experts, plus studies and research notes on fasting types, meal timing, metabolic switching, exercise, refeeding, and fasting-mimicking diets.

“FTA: > Higher levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides, two types of fat, in the blood of men who underwent surgery for prostate cancer, were associated with increased risk for disease recurrence, according to a study”

“As people become more fit, their muscles shift from burning carbohydrates (glucose) to burning fat. So researchers assumed that endurance is a function of the body's increasing ability to burn fat, though details of the process have been murky.”

“FTA: > Adding eggs to a salad with a variety of raw vegetables is an effective method to improve the absorption of carotenoids, which are fat-soluble nutrients that help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, according to research.”

“Each of the participants underwent all three lighting scenarios. The investigators found that after OLED exposure, the participants' energy expenditure and core body temperature during sleep were lower than after LED exposure, but their fat oxidation was higher.”

“Randomized controlled trial finds that obese women that did intermittent fasting (24 hrs) and ate 30% less food (caloric restriction) for 10 weeks lost more fat mass, had improved triglycerides and decreased LDL cholesterol compared to women that only fasted or only did caloric restriction.”

“Older endurance cyclists in their 50s to 70s maintained muscle mass, had healthy cholesterol levels, low body fat, and their immune systems looked 30 or more years younger. The study suggests that lack of exercise, and not simply just aging may lead to immune function decline.”
