“Human imaging research associates stronger hypothalamic insulin responsiveness with less visceral fat and better long-term weight-loss maintenance. A separate randomized inpatient trial helps place the five-day experiment in a broader dietary context.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick explores cheese's health impact, ergothioneine's longevity properties, sleep and joint supplements, and red light therapy in her latest Q&A.

“Two recent clinical studies underscore that microbial responses to individual components of a person's diet may influence host health. Dr. Elinav's work with The Personalized Nutrition Program revealed that individualized dietary recommendations improve postprandial blood glucose levels.”

“Controlled feeding research supports the phenotype distinction but does not create a universal diet rule. Some men with predominantly large LDL particles shifted toward a smaller-particle pattern on a very-low-fat diet, while average LDL cholesterol did not improve further.”

“Dietary fat also matters to steroid-hormone physiology: a meta-analysis found modestly lower testosterone on low-fat diets than higher-fat diets, without establishing that saturated fat or any one food should be used as a testosterone treatment.”

“Maybe that’s the message we should be emphasizing for living a longer life. “I am very convinced that excess body fat is really bad for metabolic health, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and mortality.”

“Dr. D'Agostino notes that breath acetone is a suitable way to measure ketones if you are interested in fat loss since all the carbons in breath acetone derive from fat molecules. In this clip, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino describes how breath acetone concentration is a non-invasive tool for measuring fat loss.”

“Although exogenous ketones provide a ready source of energy, their use might interfere with weight loss. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick describes the effects of endogenous ketones on fat metabolism during a fast.”

“Repeated, intensive cold exposure can also recruit brown adipose tissue and increase cold-induced thermogenesis. In six men, two hours of daily cooling for four weeks increased active brown-fat volume by 45 percent and more than doubled cold-induced brown-fat oxidative metabolism.”

“The classic ketogenic diet is high in fat and low in protein and carbohydrates. The ease of following a ketogenic diet varies from person to person, depending on several factors, including fitness level, overall health, and lifestyle.”
