“Eating a typical Western diet – high in processed foods and sugar-sweetened beverages – raises blood glucose and insulin levels, promotes inflammation, and contributes to many neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease.”

“Elevated levels of ketone bodies, such as beta-hydroxybutyrate, can have beneficial effects on several brain-related diseases. Research suggests that ketone bodies can increase blood flow in the brain by 30 to 40 percent, which may have profound effects for patients with brain injury or vascular dementia.”

“These transient stressors induce the expression of genes that process inflammatory molecules. In this clip, Tim Ferriss and Dr. Rhonda Patrick discuss acute versus chronic inflammation and how supplemental antioxidants can negate some of the benefits of exercise.”

“When starting a ketogenic diet, it is important to track macronutrients, calories, and relevant biomarkers. Dr. D'Agostino notes that breath acetone is a suitable way to measure ketones if you are interested in fat loss since all the carbons in breath acetone derive from fat molecules.”

“Dr. D'Agostino notes that elevating blood ketones benefits some but not all patients with Alzheimer's disease, suggesting that patient characteristics such as genotype or disease subtype may influence success.”

“Cancer cells have circumvented death; however, with a small prompt they can be induced to die. In this clip, Tim Ferriss and Dr. Rhonda Patrick discuss the potential use of intravenous vitamin C as a supportive factor in the treatment of cancer.”

“Without adequate muscle reserve built when young and preserved when old, we more quickly reach a "disability threshold." In this clip, Dr. Stuart Phillips discusses how building muscle reserves under adequate nutrition delays the disability threshold and contributes to more successful aging.”

“Having sufficient muscle mass markedly reduces a person's risk of dying prematurely. Although some studies suggest that eating less protein promotes longevity, those studies might not take into account the periods of disuse and disability that often occur in real life.”

“Wearable-device research in more than 25,000 adults who reported no structured exercise linked about three one- to two-minute vigorous bouts per day with substantially lower all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality.”

“In this Aliquot, Drs. Peter Attia, Stuart Phillips, Morgan Levine, Brad Schoenfeld, Michael Snyder, Valter Longo, Martin Gibala, George Church, as well as Kevin and Darya Rose and myself, share our strategies for finding our fitness.”
