“Having healthy mitochondria is critical to endurance exercise, which utilizes an enormous amount of energy. When mice are restricted to a 9-hour window of feeding, their mitochondrial function in multiple tissues increases, and mitochondrial biogenesis – the production of new mitochondria – is enhanced.”

“Resveratrol is a "dirty molecule," however, known for its multiple cellular targets, so teasing out all the ramifications of its use has proven problematic. Furthermore, it is relatively unstable and demonstrates poor bioavailability in humans.”

“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.”

“- Practical details like temperature and duration of sauna use, the difference between a dry, wet and infrared sauna, sauna timing, as well as other forms of heat stress such as steam showers, hot baths, and hot yoga.”

“A special focus of this podcast, however, centers on Pierre's relationship with previous podcast guest Wim Hof, who is especially well-known for his extraordinary ability to withstand extreme cold, taking on many world records by doing so.”

“Tissue-resident cells that express TLR4 include immune cells (e.g., macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells) and various non-immune cell types including liver cells, muscle cells, blood vessel (i.e., endothelial) cells, and adipocytes (i.e., fat cells).”

“Advanced glycation end-products, or AGEs for short, are created when the sugars, amino acids, and fats in food encounter heat. AGEs also form in the body during normal glucose metabolism. However, if high levels of AGEs accumulate in the tissues and blood, they can become pathogenic.”

“The timing of eating and exercise, especially in elite athletes, hasn't been studied and may, in fact, require self-experimentation by the athletes to identify the perfect interval of fasting to support their optimal performance.”
