“Poor vitamin D status is implicated in the pathogenesis of many acute and chronic diseases, including rickets, osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis, and cancer. Evidence suggests that low vitamin D concentrations are linked with severe outcomes in COVID-19.”

“Poor vitamin D status is implicated in the pathogenesis of many acute and chronic diseases, including rickets, osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis, cancer, and COVID-19. Evidence from a recent study suggests that vitamin D deficiency is associated with the development of dementia.”

“These molecules, sometimes referred to as metabolites or postbiotics – are taken up in the gut and enter the body's circulation, where they can have far-reaching effects on multiple organ systems, says Dr. Elinav.”

“A growing body of evidence indicates that the fasting-mimicking diet may be beneficial in treating autoimmune disorders. In these Aliquot segments, Dr. Rhonda Patrick and Dr. Valter Longo describe the roles that diet and fasting play in maintaining or restoring proper immune function.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick answers audience questions on various health, nutrition, and science topics in this Q&A session.

“In the modern-day with no imposed fasting, these cycles of renewal may remain dormant. In this clip, Dr. Valter Longo discusses how cellular repair mechanisms may have evolved during times of fasting, but are latent in times of food abundance.”

“Dr. Patrick explains some of the early evidence that suggests the value prolonged fasting (48+ hours) may have from the standpoint of tissue rejuvenation and healthspan maintenance, as well as relevance for other more specific conditions.”

“A prolonged fast has additional benefits compared to an overnight fast. Overnight the body still has liver glycogen and is not forced to begin burning fat. However, after two days of fasting, or a fasting-mimicking diet, the body starts to burn visceral fat as energy.”

“A growing body of evidence suggests that fat plays a role in the activation of stem cells. Fasting generates molecules such as fatty acids, ketone bodies and glycerol, providing a favorable environment for stem cell activation and renewal.”
