Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses sunscreen safety, HIIT & brain health, diet, omega-3s, urolithin A, sulforaphane, homocysteine, peptides, and CoQ10.

“In this Aliquot, I talk about three substances that may act as longevity vitamins – taurine, ergothioneine, and PQQ. Update: Although early animal studies suggest topping up taurine levels could extend lifespan and improve health markers, this has not yet been proven in people.”

“Micronutrient deficiencies, even mild ones, can quietly erode health over decades, raising the risk of chronic disease. One framework for understanding this comes from Dr. Bruce Ames, who proposed the triage theory.”

“Dr. Raison, as well as others, have found that inflammatory mediators such as IL-6 and C-Reactive protein (CRP) are higher in depressed individuals independent of other health factors like obesity and can independently predict the subsequent development of depression over a decade or more.”
