“Only the BFRT group improved mitochondrial respiration in fat tissue and reduced visceral fat, the fat stored deep in the abdomen around internal organs and strongly linked to insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease risk.”

“Adverse events occurred at similar rates in both groups. ALA helps mitochondrial enzymes function properly by acting as a cofactor in energy metabolism and reducing oxidative stress.”

“One group of participants continued their usual routines, while the other group was instructed to perform seven 3-minute exercise sessions during the 9 AM–5 PM workday using simple movements: marching in place, desk or wall push-ups, squats, heel raises, arm circles with shoulder rolls, and torso twists.”

“Beyond its well-known role as the building block of muscle, protein is fundamental to our metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and the prevention of diseases such as type 2 diabetes and sarcopenia. But how much dietary protein do we really need?”

“During the roughly three-year trial, the lifestyle program aimed for at least 7% weight loss through lower calorie and fat intake and at least 150 minutes of physical activity per week, while metformin was prescribed at 850 mg twice daily as tolerated.”

“Stable glucose despite lower insulin indicates better insulin sensitivity, while the lower heart-rate response during exercise and faster muscle oxygen recovery suggest more efficient blood flow regulation and oxygen delivery or use.”

“FTA: > Dillin and colleagues found that not only did the brown fat ramp up its activity in the smell-deficient animals, but some of their white fat also became more like brown fat. “They rewire their metabolic programming to burn more calories,” he says. When a mouse can’t smell its food, he speculates, it may “think” that it has eaten more than it really has, prompting it to use more energy.”

“##Identifying a common threat in cognitive decline Rather than thinking about dementia as the amyloid-beta plaques and tau tangles characteristic of Alzheimer's disease or altered brain glucose metabolism (colloquially referred to as "type 3 diabetes"), what if we could instead find an underlying and unifying pathology involved in most dementias?”

“Bifidobacterium needs to be fed a wide variety of fiber in order to produce these signaling molecules (such as short chain fatty acids and others) that in turn regulate the immune system.”

“This is a much higher dose than the Institute of Medicine recommends as the daily upper tolerable intake (10,000 IU per day). People with multiple sclerosis have been shown to have SNPs that affect vitamin D metabolism.”
