“In contrast, reductions in waist circumference at 20 weeks were associated with fewer subsequent events in the semaglutide group, possibly highlighting the importance of visceral fat loss (fat surrounding abdominal organs) rather than overall weight loss, which can also include lean mass such as muscle.”

“They also found that time-restricted eating altered amino acid, fat, and glucose metabolism and re-aligned the circadian rhythms of the animals' organs. These findings suggest that time-restricted eating influences gene activity in mice.”

“Both beverages provided 119 milligrams of caffeine – a little more than the amount present in one cup of coffee. At the end of the three weeks, they ate a high-fat, high-carbohydrate meal, and then researchers measured their blood glucose, insulin, and other metabolic markers.”

“Interestingly, these benefits transcended a singular generation, manifesting within subsequent progeny. The mechanism driving these effects centered around the modulation of sphingosine-1-phosphate, a bioactive metabolite of sphingolipid – a type of fat implicated in neural protection.”

“However, two small, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled experiments in which participants received BHB supplements (as ketone salt or ketone monoester) found that various markers of NLRP3 inflammasome activation, including caspase-1 and interleukin 1-beta, increased, suggesting that the ketones may have unintended proinflammatory effects.”

“Researchers continue to discover other consequences related to undernutrition during pregnancy. A new study examines how poor fetal nutrition affects protein expression in the fat tissue of adult rats, revealing key differences between males and females.”

“Last night I had the profoundly interesting experience of going straight from a super hot sauna (220 F at its hottest) directly into an ice bath (emphasis on ice... lots of ice). We alternated this for four rounds.”

“The ketogenic diet raises levels of β-hydroxybutyrate, a ketone body that can promote brain-derived neurotrophic factor and stabilize brain networks. Reductions in leptin and body fat also point to metabolic shifts that could contribute to symptom relief, even if no single factor fully explained the improvements.”

“Interestingly, they did not identify an interaction between adherence to a Mediterranean-style diet and the participants' genetic risk for dementia, suggesting that eating a healthy diet could reduce the risk of developing dementia even among those who are genetically predisposed to the condition.”

“Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter for learning new motor skills and in reward-related learning. This study also found that the greater the improvement in brain function, the more belly fat a person lost during the course of the exercise intervention.”
