“It accomplishes this by serving as the final step in cementing the neural connections that occur during daytime hours by prepping the brain for information input, promoting information storage, and providing a mechanism for information transfer and long-term memory formation.”

“A large body of evidence suggests that processed meat is linked with cancer. Nitrites, used as preservatives in processed meats, can form cancer-causing nitrosamines when cooked or during digestion in the human colon.”

“The clip closes with human observational evidence. In the prospective VITamins And Lifestyle cohort, intake below the recommended dietary allowance was associated with higher pancreatic cancer incidence, including a 24% increase per 100-milligram daily decrement.”

“IGF-1 participates in a complex pathway known as the growth hormone/IGF-1 axis, where it exerts its role to accelerate aging. In this clip, Dr. Valter Longo explains how certain macronutrients influence the insulin/IGF-1/growth hormone axis to modulate aging in many cell types.”

“Although human trials are lacking, some animal research suggests that sulforaphane and its byproducts protect against bladder cancer. In this clip, Dr. Fahey describes the metabolic fate of sulforaphane and the current state of research on its effects against bladder cancer.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses her supplement routine, Neu5Gc risks, Repatha and diabetes, heat stress, osteoporosis in men, and plyometrics.

“Autophagy, a type of cellular recycling program, influences many aspects of health and disease, including cancer, neurodegenerative disease, and aging. Nutrient sensing is integral to autophagy, particularly concentrations of acetyl CoA, an end product of protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism.”

“Dr. Patrick theorizes that the oxidized state of vitamin C, acting as a pro-oxidant, has the potential to kill cancer cells. Cancer cells have circumvented death; however, with a small prompt they can be induced to die.”

“Mounting evidence suggests that exploiting this property may be useful towards reducing the toxicity of chemotherapeutics while also maximizing their impact in the treatment of cancer.”

“While a shortened eating window can reduce blood sugar levels – and thus breast cancer risk – the jury is still out regarding meal frequency. The prevailing thought is that if the eating window is short, the number of eating episodes may not matter.”
