“Bacteriophage therapy, possibly using a cocktail of phages, could precisely perturb the microbiome, eliminating pathogenic species while leaving commensal species unscathed and circumventing antibiotic resistance.”

“These events are recapitulated in both exercise and sauna, providing a potential explanation for the sleep-inducing effects of the two activities. In this clip, Dr. Matthew Walker explains how sleep and sauna may induce sleep through their short-term pro-inflammatory effects.”

“Dr. McGlory sheds light on the relationship between aerobic conditioning and muscle hypertrophy, addressing the notion that aerobic exercise might hinder muscle growth gained through resistance training.”

“This episode of the Aliquot features FoundMyFitness guests with expertise in fields including lipid metabolism, Alzheimer's disease, and micronutrient biochemistry sharing their recommendations regarding blood tests that a person should consider adding to their yearly checkup.”

“These changes increase infection risk, weaken vaccine responses, and reduce early cancer surveillance. Yet immune aging is not fixed. Movement, sleep, stress regulation, temperature exposure, and nutrition shape immune cell balance and inflammatory activity over time.”

“The mast cells release pro­inflammatory cytokines and proteases that damage the gut, leading to intestinal permeability, a condition otherwise known as “leaky gut.” This leakiness allows bacteria and bacterial antigens to cross the gut’s inner layer, the epithelium, and activate even more immune cells, leading to more inflammation – a key driver in the aging process.”

“This method of cell rejuvenation may change the way we treat disease and injury in the future. In his recent research, Dr. Church has identified that the genes alpha-Klotho, FGF21, and TGF-beta1 can be used to rejuvenate older mice back to a healthier state.”

“VO2 max expresses peak oxygen consumption relative to body weight and provides a useful marker of cardiorespiratory fitness. In a cohort of 122,007 adults referred for treadmill testing, higher measured fitness was associated with lower long-term mortality, including among people with elite performance.”

“Observational physiology research from his group links more frequent lifelong endurance exercise with higher VO2 max and more favorable cardiovascular function, while stopping short of proving that one exact schedule is uniquely optimal.”

“The PROT-AGE Study Group recommends at least 1.0 to 1.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day for most adults over 65 to help maintain lean mass and physical function. Longitudinal evidence connects higher protein intake with better muscle and frailty outcomes.”
