“Watch this clip with autophagy expert Dr. Guido Kroemer in which he describes this phenomenon. Link to full study. Listen to this episode in which Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses the controversies surrounding consumption of saturated fat.”

“HIIT also imposes a higher energetic and metabolic demand, which enhances fat loss without requiring longer training sessions. These combined effects offer a plausible explanation for why HIIT preserved lean tissue better than MICT.”

“For example, specific nutritional challenges in mice, such as high dietary fat intake, elicit systemic changes in circadian regulation even after just three days of the challenge. Timing of food intake also determines the body's physiological response to food, especially the peripheral circadian rhythms, as seen with time-dependent alterations in glucose metabolism.”

“These findings suggest that late-night eating may drive body fat accumulation and subsequent increased risk for metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes. Link to full study. Learn more about the role of meal timing and cancer risk in this clip featuring Dr. Ruth Patterson.”

“A new meta-analysis found no link between saturated fat consumption and heart disease but did find that a Mediterranean diet (41% fat) supplemented with at least 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil or a handful of nuts lowered the risk of cardiovascular events by 30% compared to a low-fat (37% fat) diet.”

“Cold exposure increases brown fat activity in humans, possibly benefitting whole-body glucose utilization and insulin sensitivity. Learn more about the effects of cold exposure in our overview article. Read study abstract and preview.”

“But foods with the same protein amount do not always trigger the same muscle-building effect. A new study from the University of Illinois tested whether the amount of fat in pork affects how the body uses the food's protein to rebuild muscle after strength training.”

“Roughly 60% of the human brain is made up of fat, which plays a crucial role in the structure and function of brain cells. In Alzheimer's, fat metabolism in the brain becomes altered, influencing disease progression.”

“Body composition describes an individual's body fat and lean mass. Excess body fat promotes systemic inflammation (which can promote neuroinflammation) and drives immune-related inflammatory processes. Lean muscle mass, however, may be protective against inflammation.”

“FTA: > Dillin and colleagues found that not only did the brown fat ramp up its activity in the smell-deficient animals, but some of their white fat also became more like brown fat. “They rewire their metabolic programming to burn more calories,” he says. When a mouse can’t smell its food, he speculates, it may “think” that it has eaten more than it really has, prompting it to use more energy.”
