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

“The liver is a versatile organ with many digestive functions. During feeding the liver metabolizes food from the intestines, and during fasting or while following a ketogenic diet, it produces ketone bodies. In this clip, Dr. Eric Verdin describes the liver's functions and posits that the ketogenic diet does not put any undue stress on the liver.”

“Fiber can also slow protein digestion, and vegetables can serve as a carrier for the extra fat that is consumed in the diet. In this clip, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino describes the benefits of including fiber from diverse vegetable sources, both cooked and raw, within a ketogenic diet plan.”

“A separate group of investigators, using a portion-controlled ketogenic diet showed similar results. The mice on the portion-controlled ketogenic diet did even better, suggesting that the cyclic nature may be somewhat stressful for the animals.”

“Convincing animal data and preliminary research in patients with early cognitive decline have shown positive outcomes using strategies to overcome insulin resistance. In this clip, Dr. Peter Attia explains his position on the relationship between insulin resistance and Alzheimer’s disease risk.”

“Continuous glucose monitors – CGMs, for short – are wearable devices that measure blood glucose levels through a tiny sensor placed under the skin. The CGM communicates with your smartphone and provides nearly real-time information about your blood glucose levels.”

“Whereas fasting turns off multiple pathways associated with aging, such as mTOR, IGF-1, growth hormone, and others, eating for optimal fitness activates these important processes. This Aliquot features Drs. Guido Kroemer, Dominic D'Agostino, Valter Longo, Peter Attia, and Rhonda Patrick.”

“In this video, Dr. Darya & Kevin Rose talk about beta-hydroxybutyrate, an endogenous ketone body that increases in concentration during times of fasting or carbohydrate restriction. Beta-hydroxybutyrate also increases during a fasting-mimicking diet, which is a time of temporary period of calorie and protein restriction that generates many of the same biochemical effects of prolonged fasting.”

“The use of alternate fuel sources allows glucose to be spared for the metabolic pathways that require it. In this clip, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino discusses the metabolic flexibility of the brain to use various substrates, including ketones, for energy.”
