“Women who received growth hormone were half as likely to experience a fracture over a 10-year period than women who did not. The study involved 80 women (50 to 70 years old) who had osteoporosis and were taking estrogen-based hormone replacement therapy.”

“In addition, the decrease in protective estrogen during menopause may also amplify cognitive declines. These findings suggest that Kundalini yoga benefits women at risk for Alzheimer's disease. Evidence indicates that vigorous exercise can boost cognitive function, too.”

“DHEA-S (dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate) is a naturally occurring precursor to estrogen and testosterone. These steroid hormones exert anabolic effects by enhancing the bioavailability of insulin-like growth factor-1 in muscles, facilitating muscle growth and repair.”

“Evidence indicates that the processes and products associated with ethanol metabolism exert genotoxic effects; promote oxidative stress; alter vitamin metabolism (especially folate and vitamin A-related compounds); increase estrogen levels; and drive inflammation.”

“Fat tissue contains aromatase, an enzyme that converts testosterone into estradiol, a form of estrogen. Greater conversion can lower testosterone while strengthening estradiol's signal to the brain and pituitary to reduce testosterone production.”

“Findings of a new report show that probiotics reduced nausea and vomiting and improved quality of life in pregnant women. Levels of hormones such as estrogen and progesterone fluctuate throughout pregnancy altering the composition of the gut microbiota and gastrointestinal function.”

“01:36:35 - How increased muscle mass helps achieve lower blood sugar levels – reducing overall mortality – and the potential for suboptimal glycemic control long before doctors identify it. 01:52:28 - Peter's 80% zone 2 / 20% VO2 max training protocol.”

“These recommendations are based on robust evidence that regular physical activity supports a healthy immune system (a critical factor in cancer prevention), reduces chronic inflammation, and helps the body maintain healthy levels of hormones such as insulin and estrogen, which can drive certain types of cancers if unbalanced.”

“The high circulating levels of glucose, insulin, insulin-like growth factors, and inflammatory proteins observed in type 2 diabetes increase cancer cell proliferation and suppress apoptosis (programmed cell death).”
