“Sulforaphane switches on mechanisms that protect against cancer and other environmental insults. Sulforaphane is produced when the plants' cells are damaged by chewin or chopping and some culinary "hacks" favor its production.”

“Manipulation of cellular levels of NAD+ as a strategy for slowing aging "We’ve shown that NMN and others have shown for NR that it also helps with blood flow and actually mimics exercise and regrows the vascular system.” - David Sinclair, Ph.D. As we age, however, the NAD+ levels in our bodies decline, reducing resveratrol's potency.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick answers audience questions on various health, nutrition, and science topics in this Q&A session.

“Nearly half of all adults in the United States have high blood pressure, defined as having a systolic pressure of 130 mmHg or higher or a diastolic pressure of 80 mmHg or higher. Maintaining early healthy blood pressure is critical to ensuring the proper functioning of blood vessels in the brain and blood-brain barrier integrity.”

“Much of this research has demonstrated that, at high doses, resveratrol exerts beneficial health effects – especially on the cardiovascular system – and has been shown to ameliorate the deleterious effects of an obesogenic diet in monkeys.”

“Exercise studies also show that prolonged endurance work can lower circulating glutamine and alter immune measures, which helps explain interest in supplementation during heavy training.”

“A healthy immune system allows the body to fight bacterial and viral infections, as well as aberrant cells, which, left unchecked can progress to cancer. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) has some beneficial functions but is also known to promote the growth of existing cancer cells.”

“Other hormetic responses to cold exposure include increased production of PGC1-alpha, a protein that promotes mitochondrial biogenesis, the production of new, healthy mitochondria, and the activation of brown fat – a phenomenon once thought to occur only in newborns, but now known to occur in adults, especially after cold exposure.”

“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.”

“The bar was formulated to be moderate in calories (107 kcal/≈25 g bar), but nutrient dense, with a polyphenolic-rich matrix of fruit, walnuts, and non-alkali-processed dark chocolate, supplemental vitamins, minerals, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a blend of insoluble and soluble fibers, protein, and glutamine.”
