“His work has implications for human metabolism, mitochondrial and neurological health, and cancer. Dr. Sinclair obtained his doctoral degree in molecular genetics at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, in 1995.”

“Diamandis and Robbins are a dynamic duo, having paired up with co-author Dr. Robert Hariri to write Life Force, a best-selling book that describes breakthroughs in precision medicine and health technologies that can help people live longer, healthier, more fulfilling lives – in the very near future.”

“Dr. Patrick also discusses fruit as a possible adjunct. Dr. Patrick reviews preliminary work suggesting that consuming fruit or fruit juice while drinking might support alcohol metabolism, then later includes eating a meal with fruit among the options that may help symptoms.”

“Another study suggests that intermittent fasting combined with exercise training increased serum ketone levels, increased the number of mitochondria in muscle cells, and improved endurance. In this clip, Dr. Mark Mattson describes how fasting and exercise work together to promote brain health.”

“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.”

“Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses how conditioning the body to heat stress through sauna use, called "hyperthermic conditioning" may cause adaptations that increase athletic endurance (by increasing plasma volume and blood flow to heart and muscles) and potentially even muscle mass. She also discusses the profound effects of hyperthermic conditioning on the brain including cognitive function.”

“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.”

“In this episode, Rhonda gives a summary of the science of resveratrol including its effects in animals and humans, the mechanisms behind how it works, and the bottom line on resveratrol supplementation and safety. A few key moments... For a more in-depth timeline, as well as references for this episode, click the timeline tab. Learn more about resveratrol on our overview page”

“00:35:57 - We discuss how the amygdala, the brain's emotional center, is 60 percent more reactive after sleep deprivation due to a dampening down of prefrontal cortex function. Study. 00:39:37 - The effect that genetics plays in anxiety and poor sleep.”

“According to NHANES data, older adults were 63 % more likely to have vitamin D deficiency and 46 % more likely to have vitamin D insufficiency than young adults while other sources have suggested a 70-year-old may produce 4 times less vitamin D than their former 20-year-old selves.”
