“Dr. Rhonda Patrick talks at SF Nerd Nite about transgenerational effects of caloric restriction on longevity, B-vitamins silencing bad genes, cognitive stimulation reversing neurodegenerative disease, exercise increases neurogenesis, and ways in which vitamin D might influence aging.”

“A second randomized trial found that a single vitamin D3 dose taken with food increased vitamin D status, with a larger rise when the meal contained at least 15 grams of fat. These findings support taking vitamin D with a meal that contains some fat.”

“Low levels of plasma omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids were associated with more severe cerebral small vessel diseases in patients who had experienced an ischemic stroke. Participants with the highest serum concentration of vitamin D had fewer white matter hyperintensities, enlarged perivascular spaces, and total burden of small vessel disease.”

“Additionally, a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (a very robust form of scientific evidence) suggests that vitamin D supplementation alleviates depression severity; however, the number of trials included in the analysis was small, highlighting the need for additional trials.”

“In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on The Mel Robbins Podcast, she discusses five supplements that address different nutritional or performance goals: omega-3, a multivitamin, vitamin D, magnesium, and creatine.”

“In a randomized Australian trial, regular sunscreen use reduced invasive melanoma incidence during long-term follow-up. Dr. Patrick also discusses vitamin D in relation to cancer risk, particularly when correcting low vitamin D status.”

“Dr. Patrick also discusses vitamin D and potassium as nutrients that are commonly worth assessing. Vitamin D status varies with sun exposure, diet, skin pigmentation, age, and body composition, while potassium-rich foods help support blood-pressure regulation.”

“Women age 51 and older generally need about 1,200 milligrams of total calcium per day, preferably with food supplying most of it, while measured vitamin D deficiency should be corrected in an individualized plan.”

“Combining products requires checking total vitamin D, vitamin A, zinc, iodine, selenium, iron, and other overlapping ingredients. Protein powder can be a convenient food when an actual protein gap exists.”
