“Online resources that combine healthful practices and feedback may be beneficial for some people with depression but tapping into the benefits of less modern practices may be beneficial, too. Ancient practices, such as heat exposure, long-distance running, and fasting may promote mental well-being.”

“However, in the study where there was no cross-immunity samples were collected within 22 days post-symptom onset, which is fairly early in the maturation of the humoral immune response when antibody titers are still increasing.”

“Whereas fasting turns off multiple pathways associated with aging, such as mTOR, IGF-1, growth hormone, and others, eating for optimal fitness activates these important processes. This Aliquot features Drs. Guido Kroemer, Dominic D'Agostino, Valter Longo, Peter Attia, and Rhonda Patrick.”

“00:44:00 - A variant of the APOE gene increases risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease as much as 15-fold. Study. 00:45:30 - During sleep, amyloid-beta is cleared from the brain via the glymphatic system.”

“Dietary fiber is a broad term that refers to the non-digestible components of fruits and vegetables. Gut microbes break down certain types of fiber, releasing micronutrients trapped in the fiber matrix and producing beneficial metabolic byproducts, such as short-chain fatty acids.”

“Mounting evidence demonstrates that various forms of fasting may be beneficial as a complementary treatment against cancer. Fasting makes cancer cells more vulnerable to the body's immune response and the effects of relying on alternate fuel sources.”

“Study. 01:43:00 - High animal protein intake was only positively associated with cardiovascular mortality among individuals with at least one unhealthy lifestyle risk factor, such as obesity or sedentary lifestyle. Study.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick answers audience questions on various health, nutrition, and science topics in this Q&A session.

“Blood type is determined by what kind of antigens are presented on the outside of our blood cells. Blood can either be type A, B, AB, or O. Early data suggest that people with blood type A are at higher risk of developing COVID-19, but those with blood type O are at lower risk. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick describes the different blood types and how they influence immunity.”

“Gut cells and activated immune cells can use glutamine as fuel, while its conversion to glutamate and alpha-ketoglutarate connects it with cellular energy metabolism. Dr. Patrick describes her own daily use of glutamine and her experience of fewer minor respiratory illnesses after becoming a parent.”
