Dr. Kelly Starrett joins Dr. Rhonda Patrick to discuss building a durable body, reclaiming lost mobility, and raising more resilient young athletes.

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses xylitol safety, strategies to reduce hemoglobin A1C, klotho and dementia risk, and the timing of hormone replacement therapy.

“Dr. Patrick and Wim talk a bit about Wim's back story that culminated in him trying out cold water immersion, the 2014 scientific publication of the “Wim Hof Method” which includes cold exposure during training, exposure to bacterial endotoxin, Wim's breathing techniques, and meditation.”

“Mitochondria are best known for their energy-producing roles, but they also help regulate cellular metabolism, signaling, and apoptosis (programmed cell death). As a result, mitochondrial health is intrinsically linked to overall health.”

“The pivotal role fiber plays in fueling good bacteria in the gut that act like "miniature drug factories" which produce compounds that regulate the immune system by increasing the number of T regulatory cells, which are specialized types of immune cells that keep the immune system in check and prevent autoimmune responses.”

“In a double-blind randomized trial of 191 adults with borderline-high cholesterol, 3 grams per day of high-molecular-weight oat beta-glucan—taken as 1 gram three times daily for four weeks—reduced LDL cholesterol by about 6% and estimated 10-year Framingham cardiovascular disease risk by about 8% compared with a rice-powder control.”

“Whole-body hyperthermia is a therapeutic strategy used to treat a variety of medical conditions, including cancer, fibromyalgia, and others. It is typically administered in the clinical setting, employing hot-water blankets, warm-water baths, heating coils, or specialized lamps that emit infrared-A radiation in a confined area or chamber, such as the Heckel HT-3000.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses sunscreen safety, HIIT & brain health, diet, omega-3s, urolithin A, sulforaphane, homocysteine, peptides, and CoQ10.
