“But ultra-processing typically removes many nutrients while adding a plethora of chemicals meant to color, flavor, and preserve the food. In this Aliquot, I explain the science behind the risks associated with eating processed foods and offer advice on choosing healthier options.”

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

“However, combining fasting with resistance training can stimulate muscle growth. In this Aliquot, Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses time-restricted eating, fasting, and muscle preservation, highlighting key differences and offering recommendations for specific groups.”

“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.”

“A separate cohort of 12,388 adults associated vitamin D exposure with 40 percent lower dementia incidence, and a 12-month randomized trial of 183 older adults with mild cognitive impairment found improvements on several cognitive tests with 800 IU per day.”

“While no studies have been done in humans, research in rats has found that intermittent fasting does not interfere with estrous cycling, but extreme caloric restriction halts the estrous cycle. The safety of intermittent fasting in adolescent girls with or without being overweight has not been studied.”

“VO2 max is a complex, multifaceted parameter that reflects the intricate coordination between the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems during exercise, based on various factors ranging from cardiac output (which can differ considerably between trained athletes and weekend runners) to muscle oxygen extraction.”

“But what does the science say? In this Aliquot, Dr. Jed Fahey and I discuss the pros and cons of eating meat as well as the confounding factors that may influence the risks associated with meat consumption.”
