“The classic ketogenic diet is high in fat and low in protein and carbohydrates. The ease of following a ketogenic diet varies from person to person, depending on several factors, including fitness level, overall health, and lifestyle.”

“The researchers also examined whether the meals altered cellular signaling within the Akt–mTOR pathway, a key regulator of muscle protein synthesis and growth. Overall, the signaling markers showed mixed responses that did not align with the observed differences in muscle protein synthesis.”

“This episode has the answers to hot topic questions about the COVID-19 vaccines, such as: Is the spike protein made from the vaccines dangerous? Will the vaccines alter your genetics? Will they make SARS-CoV-2 deadlier?”

“Dr. Montagne's animal research demonstrated that blocking cyclophilin A partially restored vascular function and cognition, suggesting that targeting the blood-brain barrier could be a promising avenue for Alzheimer's treatment. In this clip, Dr. Axel Montagne discusses the feasibility of pursuing cyclophilin A, MMP9, or blood-brain barrier proteins to develop new Alzheimer's disease therapies.”

“Zinc is an essential nutrient that participates in many biological processes and plays critical roles in immune function, protein synthesis, wound healing, DNA synthesis, cell division, and brain health.”

“Interestingly, there was little difference in muscle protein synthesis between the 30- and 60-gram doses. Current dietary guidelines recommend that healthy adults consume 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day.”

“If a person reduces their caloric intake to lose weight, as much as 30 percent of their weight loss may come from muscle – unless they engage in resistance training. In this clip, Dr. Brad Schoenfeld describes the importance of resistance training and adequate protein intake to prevent losing muscle mass during weight loss.”

“Dr. van Loon explains that cooling a trained muscle reduces local blood flow and slows the processes that support recovery and remodeling. In a controlled human study, postexercise cooling lowered muscle protein synthesis during recovery from resistance exercise.”

“Apolipoprotein B, or ApoB for short, is a protein involved in lipid metabolism and is a robust predictor of cardiovascular disease risk. Healthy lifestyle behaviors, such as following a Mediterranean diet, exercising, and taking supplements like zinc and omega-3 fatty acids, may reduce ApoB levels.”

“APOE is a protein involved in lipid transport. A variant of APOE called APOE4 is the primary genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. APOE4 also increases a person's risk for cardiovascular disease.”
