“Aged knock-out mice had more cognitive decline than wild-type mice and were less likely to prefer novel objects, a behavior associated with loss of function in the hippocampus, the brain region most associated with memory loss in dementia.”

“Further studies need to confirm the results and are also needed to test whether changing the timing of these lifestyle behaviors improves outcomes. In Q&A #76, I explain how choline and creatine may help protect against fatty liver disease.”

“1 2 3 00:31:57 - How skill-based exercise, such as yoga, Tai chi, boxing, tango or skateboarding may play a special role in ameliorating some of the effects of the disease by driving circuit-specific effects, by creating top-down cognitive challenge for skills involved in a patient's movement through space.”

“During the PET scans, the men sat in a cool (66°F, 19°C) room for two hours while wearing lightweight clothes (a T-shirt and shorts) and periodically placing a towel-wrapped block of ice against the soles of their feet.”

“Removal of the MCT-1 protein from macrophages significantly reduced nerve regeneration as demonstrated by poor recovery of electrical activity over six weeks following nerve injury; however, removal of MCT-1 from perineurial cells, Schwann cells, or dorsal root ganglia neurons did not impair nerve regeneration.”

“Rhonda and Steve discuss calorie restriction, GLP-1 therapy, multivitamins, omega-3s, vitamin D, vegetables, red meat, exercise, heat exposure, sleep, social connection, consumer testing, AI-built clocks, partial reprogramming, and why no single intervention is likely to stop aging on its own.”

“Sedentary behavior has been identified as an independent risk factor for cancer, and while structured exercise remains the gold standard for cancer prevention, studies now show that even small bouts of moderate-to-vigorous activity can contribute to overall health.”

“Finally, the improved hippocampal metabolism in aged mice that received a young microbiota transplant translated to increased learning and long-term memory and reduced anxiety-related behaviors compared to aged mice receiving an aged microbiota transplant.”

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

“In this first episode of the Aliquot podcast, Rhonda discusses topics such as her pre-pregnancy diet, exercise, and sleep; which supplements she included and avoided during pregnancy; the benefits of omega-3s and risk from mercury-containing fish; and nutrition for infants and toddlers that may positively influence brain development.”
