“In this clip, Drs. Levine and Patrick discuss how genes that are important for embryonic development can tell us a lot about aging. Dr. Levine gives her insights into the process of aging - is it the accumulation of random damage or the malfunction of a cellular program?”

“Dr. Rhonda Patrick visits the Kevin Rose Show to discuss metformin, magnesium L-threonate, fish oil and brain health, sulforaphane, goitrogenic activity of isothiocyanates, sauna, and more.

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

“In this talk, we’ll be exploring the intersection between genetics, nutrition, and environment: how your diet, micronutrients, exercise, heat stress, and sleep can change the expression of your genes and how this has profound effects on the way your body functions and ages.”

“In this clip, Dr. Valter Longo describes how a fasting-mimicking diet can reduce markers of inflammation, such as C-reactive protein and Interleukin-6, possibly by killing damaged cells and regenerating others and resetting the system back to a more youthful state.”

“Dr. Patrick also revises an earlier concern about acrylamide: although roasting can form it, the human evidence she reviews does not show that ordinary coffee intake raises cancer risk, and the overall epidemiology points in the opposite direction for several cancers.”

“As a founding principal investigator at Altos Lab, Dr. Levine sits at the frontier of aging research, where she and her colleagues are investigating what she describes as some of the most exciting research in the field, centered on interrupted cellular reprogramming.”

“In this clip, Drs. Levine and Patrick discuss definitions of aging used in science and why biological aging matters to scientists. Dr. Levine shares the hallmarks of aging that help researchers determine someone's biological age, what drives accelerated aging, and what epigenetic modifications such as CpG methylation say about the aging process.”

“In this video, Dr. Rhonda Patrick summarizes a recent study that found that frequency of sauna use was associated with increased decreased risk of death. Using the sauna 2-3 times per week was associated with 24% lower all-cause mortality and 4-7 times per week decreased all-cause mortality by 40%.”

“Studies of centenarians suggest that lower levels of inflammation are associated with longevity. Different types of fiber provide fuel to diverse species of bacteria in the gut, which then synthesize byproducts that regulate the inflammatory process.”
