“Damage to the SCN, such as would occur in Alzheimer's disease or other neurodegenerative processes, can dysregulate the body's normal responses to light, darkness, and food intake. In this clip, Dr. Satchin Panda explains the role of the suprachiasmatic nucleus – the body's master clock – and how it affects metabolism.”

“Altering those cues from those normal day-night patterns can have negative effects on our metabolism, especially in organs like the liver. In this clip, Dr. Satchin Panda describes CLOCK's varied response to light and food and how those responses affect metabolism.”

“Sleep is critical to human survival. Sleep deprivation has marked effects on glucose metabolism. Even a single night of partial sleep deprivation can induce insulin resistance and raise blood glucose levels. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick describes her personal experience with sleep deprivation and her subsequent altered metabolism.”

“Contracting muscle releases IL-6 during exercise, followed by metabolic and anti-inflammatory signaling. This acute rise is part of the normal response that helps the body adapt to physical activity. Meal composition can also shape short-term metabolism.”

“A network meta-analysis of 84 randomized trials found that aerobic exercise, HIIT, combined training, and resistance training alone all reduced visceral fat, while a separate meta-analysis found a modest reduction from resistance training across 34 studies.”

“I am simply choosing not to blend them into my blueberry smoothie when the goal is to maximize polyphenol exposure.".(https://www.foundmyfitness.com/episodes/blueberry-solocast)'] A 2023 banana-smoothie study caught Rhonda's attention because the effect was unusually large and the mechanism made biological sense.”

“Dr. Elinav speculates whether inter-individual microbiome differences confound research studies. In this clip, Dr. Eran Elinav describes research suggesting that the microbiome modulates fatty acid metabolism.”

“Shift work creates a chronic disruption of circadian rhythms that affects sleep, metabolism, decision-making, and long-term health, often in ways people don't recognize until years later. In this Aliquot, joined by Drs.”

Dr. Michael Snyder discusses personalized medicine and the use of technologies that monitor metabolism and other health markers.

“When produced during exercise (especially high intensity workouts like cycling, which shifts metabolism toward glycolysis to more quickly meet the high energetic demands), lactate switches on more than 600 genes involved in muscle adaptation, stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis – the process of making new mitochondria – and promotes protein synthesis, which is essential for muscle growth.”
