“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.”

“Over the past decade, pharmacologists have begun recognizing that wellness practices, in addition to pharmaceutical drugs, may be incorporated into the treatment of depression. The Wild 5 protocol is an example of an online-based resource that combines exercise, nutrition, sleep, social connectedness, and mindfulness practices.”

“Dr. D'Agostino further describes studies in his laboratory that combined a ketogenic diet with mild caloric restriction. Animals fed in this manner had enhanced cognition. Whether these effects will translate to humans remains to be seen.”

“Erica and Justin both research the interaction between diet and the trillions of bacteria in the gut (specifically the colon) and how this impacts the health of the host (which, in this case, is a laboratory research mouse).”

“The impact of the ketogenic diet on gut bacteria has not been actively studied. In animal models high-fat diets are thought to provoke the release of endotoxin from bacterial cell membranes resulting in negative health consequences. In this clip, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino and Dr. Rhonda Patrick discuss the ketogenic diet and its implications for gut health.”

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

“However, Dr. D'Agostino clarifies that it might not be optimal to ingest ketone supplements daily, and he describes his experience with elevated liver enzymes following high dose supplementation. In this clip, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino discusses the supplements he thinks pair well with a ketogenic diet.”

“Prolonged fasting and a fasting-mimicking diet are both comparable to exercise in that they involve cycles of cellular damage and repair. During a fasting-mimicking diet, the body consumes both visceral fat and lean body mass for energy.”

“Diet and selected supplements can complement weight management and exercise. A randomized feeding trial found that a Mediterranean diet improved pain, stiffness, and physical function more than a low-fat diet in people with knee osteoarthritis.”

“But if the time during which the animals can consume their food is limited – a practice referred to as "time-restricted eating" – they don't develop those diseases, even if caloric intake is the same. In this clip, Dr. Satchin Panda describes experiments in which time-restricted eating protected mice from the harms of an obesogenic diet.”
