“Participants who completed three high-intensity interval exercise sessions during the restriction period did not show those same measured declines. The small male sample and short experimental period limit broader conclusions.”

“Exercise can complement psychotherapy, medication, social support, and other forms of clinical care. Dr. Patrick also describes brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF, as one pathway that may connect exercise with brain health.”

“Even small bursts of movement—10 bodyweight squats every 45 minutes—can regulate blood sugar better than a 30-minute walk. Studies have shown that 150 minutes of exercise per week was nearly twice as effective as metformin in preventing type 2 diabetes.”

“Activity and vinegar offer additional ways to moderate post-meal glucose exposure. A meta-analysis of eight crossover trials found lower glucose excursions when exercise occurred after eating, with earlier activity generally producing a larger effect.”

“I've interviewed many scientists over the years, each with their own expertise and specialty, ranging from exercise science and kinesiology to gene editing and autophagy. One of my favorite times during each interview is when I get to ask the guest about their personal routines.”

“Total daily intake and resistance exercise remain the priorities. A large dose is not simply wasted: after resistance exercise, 100 grams of milk protein produced a larger and longer anabolic response than 25 grams.”

“Robust scientific evidence indicates that exercise is beneficial for human health. But does it extend lifespan? Animal models show that exercise alone – even in conjunction with an otherwise healthy lifestyle – doesn't extend lifespan the way intermittent fasting does.”

“Jet lag often shows up as fatigue after a long flight, reflecting a mismatch between your internal clock and the external world. In this Aliquot, joined by Drs. Michael Grandner and Darren Candow, I explain how jet lag works, which signals are most important for resetting your clock, and how to reduce jet lag before travel and recover more quickly after arrival.”

“Higher serum BDNF was associated with the volume change, consistent with a role for exercise-related signaling in brain plasticity. Together, brief vigorous bouts and sustained aerobic training offer complementary ways to support health across different schedules and fitness levels.”

“In another study, women who were at high risk for breast cancer lost more belly fat and had increased insulin sensitivity practicing 5:2 intermittent fasting compared to women consuming a normal eating pattern with 25 percent reduced calories.”
