“Dr. Michael Grandner describes this as the "mind after midnight"— being awake past our normal bedtime biases us toward reward-seeking, negative affect, and weaker executive control, helping explain not only late-night eating (a preference for energy-dense, high-fat, and high-sugar foods) but other impulsive behaviors that occur at this time.”

“It primarily hinges on the chemical characteristics of two types of coffee compounds—diterpenes and polyphenols. Diterpenes are fat-soluble, meaning they pass through metal filters or remain suspended in espresso and boiled preparations.”

“The response among metabolites followed a similar pattern: sprinting changed 203 immediately and 199 after three hours, while moderate exercise changed 31 and then 183. Plasma collected after sprinting changed the activity of 1,677 genes in fat cells, compared with 25 following moderate exercise.”

“Exercise does not replace dietary treatment for elevated ApoB or LDL cholesterol. Dr. Patrick emphasizes reducing saturated fat, especially in a pattern also high in refined carbohydrates, and improving overall food quality.”

“00:11:33 - How intermittent fasting confers many health benefits by physiologically stressing your metabolism and causing a switch from burning carbohydrates to fat. 00:16:14 - Comparing the differences and similarities of daily time-restricted eating with 5:2 weekly intermittent fasting.”

“Dr. D'Agostino notes that breath acetone is a suitable way to measure ketones if you are interested in fat loss since all the carbons in breath acetone derive from fat molecules. In this clip, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino describes how breath acetone concentration is a non-invasive tool for measuring fat loss.”

“Dr. D'Agostino cautions against confusing a Westernized obesogenic high-fat diet with a ketogenic diet. In a well-designed preclinical study, researchers fed mice a cyclic ketogenic diet starting at midlife and observed improved healthspan, cognition, and brain function.”

“The excerpt also reviews controlled muscle studies: omega-3 attenuated loss during immobilization and increased the amino-acid-stimulated muscle-protein-synthesis response under tested conditions. These findings do not generalize to every dose or population.”

“On the other hand, for people interested in fat loss, breath acetone is a non-invasive tool for estimating fat loss. Dr. D'Agostino describes how he uses the Glucose Ketone Index – a single value biomarker representing the glucose-to-ketone ratio in the blood.”

“A ketogenic diet is high in fat, moderate in protein, and low in carbohydrates. Research shows that it mimics fasting by inducing metabolic switching – the capacity to shift from metabolizing glucose to metabolizing fatty acids.”
