“Dr. Aubrey de Grey is a biomedical gerontologist and the founder of the SENS Research Foundation which aims to find technologies that can repair the various types of damage that occur during the aging process. Learn more about Dr. Aubrey De Grey SENS Research Foundation.”

“Magnesium is required by enzymes involved in DNA replication and repair, so chronic inadequacy could allow cellular damage to accumulate over time. Dr. Patrick also discusses matrix metalloproteinases, or MMPs, which help remodel the extracellular matrix.”

“The mast cells release pro­inflammatory cytokines and proteases that damage the gut, leading to intestinal permeability, a condition otherwise known as “leaky gut.” This leakiness allows bacteria and bacterial antigens to cross the gut’s inner layer, the epithelium, and activate even more immune cells, leading to more inflammation – a key driver in the aging process.”

“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.”

“Time-restricted eating involves consuming meals within a specific daily time window. However, choosing the optimal time frame for that window is influenced by many factors, the most important of which is circadian rhythmicity, which alters our body's metabolic responses to food.”

“Fatty tissue is a metabolically active organ that produces many pro-inflammatory cytokines and mediators that work in a synergistic fashion with other pro-inflammatory molecules to create a pro-tumorigenic microenvironment.”

“As for this last point in particular, but also all conversations surrounding severe life-altering diagnosis like cancer, these clips are not meant to serve as a substitute for medical advice.”

“Insulin-like growth factor-1, or IGF-1 for short, is a protein that plays critical roles in major growth pathways in the human body. It influences nearly every tissue in the body, especially developmental growth, skeletal muscle and neurons.”

“In this 45-minute podcast, Dr. Patrick answers some of the most popular questions related to fasting, including: What effects coffee, supplements, and amino acids have on fasting. Whether one method of fasting is more beneficial than others.”

“Fasting activates many of the body's mechanisms that repair damaged DNA and other cellular components. It also promotes the production of ketones, especially beta-hydroxybutyrate, an anti-aging molecule that demonstrates the capacity to delay the onset of aging-related diseases and improve mitochondrial health.”
