“Other studies have explored how NAD supplementation affects global mitochondrial function and DNA damage. In this clip, Dr. Eric Verdin discusses several ways in which NAD+ supplementation can benefit mitochondrial health and play a protective role against aging.”

“People that used the sauna 2-3 times per week had a 20% lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease, and those that used the sauna 4-7 times per week had a 60% lower risk of Alzheimer's disease, compared to men that used the sauna 1 time per week.”

“Ketogenic diets range from the exacting therapeutic diet used to treat epilepsy to a liberalized low-glycemic-index diet that is better suited as a lifestyle diet. These diets are high in fat and low in carbohydrates and can be tracked using an objective biomarker – ketones.”

“The findings add useful support for meals that promote a steadier post-meal response. Dr. Bikman also describes an earlier dinner as another way to extend the overnight fasting interval.”

“Circadian rhythms modulate a wide array of physiological processes, including the body’s production of hormones that regulate sleep, hunger, metabolism, and others, ultimately influencing body weight, performance, and susceptibility to disease.”

“And one potential strategy for mitigating our risk for Alzheimer's disease as we age is a "cognoscopy" – a battery of assessments that measures some of the key biomarkers associated with the disease and can inform the trajectory of treatment.”

Tim Ferriss discusses ketosis, the gut microbiome, and monitoring biomarkers to promote performance.

“Eating late at night when insulin levels are naturally low can have negative effects on human health. Time-restricted eating, however, limits the daytime window during which a person eats to take advantage of the time when metabolism is optimized, improving health and even promoting weight loss.”

“Researchers have determined that beta-hydroxybutyrate is an endogenous regulator of HDACs and is able to regulate age-related genes such as FOXO3. In this clip, Dr. Eric Verdin discusses the role of beta-hydroxybutyrate in protecting against oxidative stress, both as a nutrient, but also as a transcription regulator.”

“On the other hand, for people interested in fat loss, breath acetone is a non-invasive tool for estimating fat loss. Dr. D'Agostino describes how he uses the Glucose Ketone Index – a single value biomarker representing the glucose-to-ketone ratio in the blood.”
