“Cancer cells exploit the regenerative capacity of telomerase to perpetually divide, essentially becoming immortal. In this clip, Dr. Elissa Epel discusses how having an optimal ratio of telomerase – high enough to reduce the risk of chronic disease, but low enough to reduce the risk of cancer – is key.”

“Methyl patterns are crucial for a cell's maintenance of identity. As techniques are developed to differentiate and transdifferentiate cells from one cell type, such as a fibroblast, into another, such as a neuron, interesting patterns of effects on epigenetic age are revealed.”

“Time-restricted eating can help some people reduce eating opportunities, but controlled trials have not found a consistent visceral-fat advantage over matched dietary counseling or calorie restriction.”

“The human body can convert some ALA into EPA and then to DHA, but the efficiency of the process varies between individuals. In this clip, Rich Roll and Dr. Rhonda Patrick discuss how those on a vegan diet can determine whether they are getting enough omega-3 fatty acids.”

“In fact, telomerase levels in cancer cells are often as much as 10-fold higher than in normal, healthy replicating cells. In this clip, Dr. Elissa Epel discusses how having an optimal ratio of telomerase – high enough to reduce the risk of chronic disease, but low enough to reduce the risk of cancer – is key.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses her supplement routine, Neu5Gc risks, Repatha and diabetes, heat stress, osteoporosis in men, and plyometrics.

Dr. Rhonda Patrick explores collagen peptides, high-dose niacin and vitamin B6, avoiding nano- and microplastics in her latest Q&A.

“In this clip from Q&A #70, Dr. Rhonda Patrick organizes cancer prevention around the largest modifiable foundations: avoid tobacco, maintain a healthy body composition, and stay physically active.”

“Air pollution leaves a biological fingerprint on our lungs, our blood vessels, and even our brains, eroding the body's defenses, triggering inflammation, weakening the blood-brain barrier, and accelerating cognitive decline.”

“In this video Dr. Rhonda Patrick interviews Dr. Bruce Ames about his triage theory, which he proposes that the body has developed a rationing response to shortages of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) throughout evolution.”
