“Blood levels of leucine, an essential amino acid closely linked to muscle-protein production, and the broader pool of essential amino acids rose more in the vitamin D group than in the placebo group about 60 to 75 minutes after the whey protein drink.”

“Main findings: NR improved glucose tolerance, reduced weight gain and hepatic steatosis/liver damage; and protected against sensory neuropathy in prediabetic mice. In T2D mice, NR reduced fasting/non‐fasting glucose, reduced weight gain and steatosis; and protected against diabetic neuropathy.”

“We talk about fasting, ketosis, unlocking the mysteries of blood glucose by actually testing your response to foods, eating seasonally, ketosis, natto, and finally... 10-day, intense vipassana meditation retreats.”

“While typical muscle-oriented creatine supplementation protocols (3–5 grams daily) can benefit bone indirectly through increased muscle mass, emerging evidence suggests that higher doses (up to ~8–10 grams/day) might be optimal for maximizing creatine's potential bone benefits in aging populations, especially when paired with weight-bearing exercise.”

“BFR training protocols include a frequency of 2-3 times per week, occlusion pressure of 40-80% depending on the limb, using 2 exercises per muscle group, repetition schemes, wear times of 10-20 minutes, loads of 20-50% of 1 rep max, and a tempo of 1-2 seconds for both concentric and eccentric.”

“00:56:55 - The interesting question of whether so-called "biohacks" like intermittent fasting will ultimately be found to promote longer telomere length or not. 00:57:40 - The powerful telomere lengthening impact of a three-week meditation retreat, a benefit that seemed especially pronounced in personalities higher on the neuroticism scale.”

“Dr. Judy Campisi talks about the role of cellular senescence in the aging process and cancer, what causes senescence, and how viable lifestyle interventions (ie. fasting) and certain compounds (ie. rapamycin) that can clear senescent cells may be plausible life extension strategies.”

“We also get into controversies around the carnivore diet, diet sodas, artificial sweeteners, intermittent fasting, and much more. Some highlights from this episode: 02:28:00 - Why diet soda helps many people lose weight (and what are the microbiome risks?)”

“A meta-analysis led by Dr. Stuart Phillips found that individuals consuming 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily while engaging in resistance training increased their muscle mass by 27% and their strength by 10%, compared to those who trained without extra protein.”
