“Poor sleep reduces the body's insulin sensitivity and changes a person's appetite, increasing the preference for high carbohydrate foods like pizza, pasta, and sweets. Lack of sleep also alters the gut microbiota and impairs immunity, putting us at risk for developing acute illnesses like colds and flu.”

“Whereas its link to diabetes is well known, what is likely underappreciated is that refined sugar may be linked to as many as 200,000 deaths worldwide each year from diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer combined. Refined sugar also affects the brain.”

“In this Aliquot, I explain why visceral fat behaves so differently from other fat, how it drives insulin resistance and chronic disease, and what research shows about the most effective ways to reduce it.”

“In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick distinguishes several sleep exposures. Mild restriction means losing roughly one to three hours for several nights; severe laboratory restriction can mean four hours in bed; chronic cohort studies compare habitual short and long sleep.”

“Small controlled trials of early time-restricted eating, which included breakfast and moved dinner earlier rather than testing breakfast skipping, found improved insulin sensitivity in eight men with prediabetes and lower 24-hour glucose in 11 adults with overweight.”

“From the chemistry of synthetic vanillin to the regulatory loopholes behind GRAS labeling, we explore how these additives can influence health—not just through potential toxicity, but by activating the brain's reward system in ways that may affect behavior.”

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

“The good news is that extending sleep by ~1 hour per night has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity, normalize levels of appetite-regulating hormones, reduce cravings for sweet and salty foods, decrease sugar consumption, lower caloric intake, and aid in weight loss.”

“Dr. Panda discusses the effects of time-restricted feeding on systemic inflammation; time-restricted eating as an opportunity for night-time repair that may prevent intestinal hyperpermeability (i.e., leaky gut), a primary source of systemic inflammation; and how the timing of macronutrients may differentially affect gut permeability.”

“A meta-analysis of 25 prospective studies associated each additional 10 grams of daily fiber with about a 10 percent lower risk of colorectal cancer, with especially consistent findings for cereal fiber and whole grains.”
