“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.”

“In this Aliquot, sleep scientist Dr. Michael Grandner explains why sleep apnea is so often missed, how these nightly breathing disturbances affect the body, and which treatments can meaningfully improve sleep and long-term health.”

“Rather, they fall on a spectrum, ranging from a five-to-one ratio of fats to protein and carbs (typically used in clinical settings) to a more liberalized one-to-one ratio, a type of low glycemic index therapy (commonly referred to as "modified Atkins") that might meet the needs of most healthy people.”

“The modeled relationship between vigorous and moderate activity varied by outcome: one vigorous minute corresponded statistically to 4.1 moderate minutes for all-cause mortality, 7.8 for cardiovascular mortality, 3.5 for mortality from selected activity-related cancers, and 1.6 for cancer incidence.”

“Fat cells can grow up to 20 times their original size. At this point, they often outgrow their oxygen supply, creating local hypoxia, triggering inflammatory cytokine release, and leaking fatty acids into the circulation.”

“Lifters then perform an exercise such as a biceps curl with the cuff in place. An advantage of this type of training is that very light loads will fatigue a muscle more quickly than without the cuff, and because a lighter load is used, there may be less joint stress.”

“The most compelling human signal appears when the brain is under acute strain. In a randomized crossover study, a single dose of 0.35 grams per kilogram during 21 hours of sleep deprivation changed cerebral energy metabolites and preserved selected measures of cognitive performance.”

“In this clip from his FoundMyFitness interview with Dr. Rhonda Patrick, Dr. Benjamin Levine explains why recovery is part of training rather than time lost between workouts. Hard sessions trigger protein synthesis, vascular signaling, and muscular remodeling, but those changes need lower-stress time to develop.”

“Researchers have observed synergism between the ketogenic diet and hyperbaric oxygen against tumor cells. Moreover, Dr. D'Agostino suggests that ketosis stimulates the immune system, increasing its ability to detect cancer cells.”

“In Aliquot #131, The Muscle and Bone Benefits of Creatine, creatine expert Dr. Darren Candow and I discussed how creatine supplementation affects muscle quality, physical function, and even skeletal health, particularly in older adults.”
