“Time-restricted eating – a term coined by Dr. Panda and his colleagues – has been adopted by the popular press as a form of intermittent fasting. It does not explicitly involve reducing calories but rather is an eating pattern wherein a person confines the time of day that they eat to a limited window and fasts for the remainder of the day.”

“Stress, pathology, and aging can alter brain energy metabolism. During times of impaired brain energy, the brain may prefer to use ketones as a fuel source. The use of alternate fuel sources allows glucose to be spared for the metabolic pathways that require it.”

“Vinegar and berberine may modestly change glycemic measures, but the larger practical point is that substrate levels and signaling molecules must be interpreted together, with medication interactions and hypoglycemia risk considered.”

“The byproducts of sulforaphane metabolism include a variety of glutathione-derived conjugates. These antioxidant compounds eventually end up in the urine, which is temporarily stored in the bladder prior to elimination, providing a unique environment in which to study the effects of sulforaphane and its metabolic byproducts on bladder tissue.”

“Whole-body hyperthermia – a different temperature modality currently being investigated for depression. Episodes and clips How Cryotherapy Affects the Brain, the Immune System, Metabolism, and Athletic Performance – an audio-only podcast discussing some of the benefits of cold exposure.”

“Preliminary clinical studies suggest that these findings may translate to humans promoting metabolic dysfunction, potentially increasing the risk for type 2 diabetes. In this clip, Dr. Eran Elinav outlines the counter-intuitive discovery that artificial sweeteners may dysregulate glucose metabolism.”

“Findings from recent studies indicate that melatonin – the hormone commonly associated with sleep – influences critical aspects of metabolism, especially those that regulate insulin sensitivity.”

“Regular alcohol intake can contribute to visceral-fat accumulation through its energy content and effects on metabolism. In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on Thomas DeLauer's podcast, she explains that ethanol receives metabolic priority in the liver, suppresses fat oxidation, and can promote triglyceride synthesis.”

“CoQ10 participates in mitochondrial electron transfer, while alpha-lipoic acid supports energy metabolism and antioxidant systems. Dr. Patrick discusses these mechanisms alongside the effects of statins on CoQ10 production.”

“Imaging studies also associate higher visceral fat with increased cancer incidence in some populations, while large cohort analyses link greater waist circumference with higher all-cause mortality.”
