“In this clip, Dr. Michael Snyder describes how changes in his own glucose regulation which he noticed with a continuous glucose monitor, converging with his knowledge of his personal genetic risks, ultimately led to a surprising diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.”

“Exercise – particularly endurance exercise – is linked with many health benefits, including maintaining a healthy weight and preventing diabetes. One of the mechanisms behind the beneficial effects of exercise is its ability to induce autophagy in skeletal muscle and, potentially, other organs.”

“Dr. Krauss discusses that 11-12% of statin users are at risk of developing diabetes as a side effect of statins. In women this could be as high as 30%. Because of this he warns against the growing trend of viewing statins as harmless as a supplemental vitamin.”

“Epidemiological studies have shown that people who have poor sleep are at greater risk of having or developing diabetes. When a person does not get enough sleep, their pancreatic beta cells become less sensitive to glucose signaling, reducing the amount of insulin produced by the pancreas.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses her supplement routine, Neu5Gc risks, Repatha and diabetes, heat stress, osteoporosis in men, and plyometrics.

“Type 3 diabetes, an informal designation recently made popular, refers to the association between altered brain glucose transport and Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's patients have reduced GLUT1, the glucose transporter, at the blood-brain barrier, which may diminish neuronal activity.”

“Insulin-like growth factor-1, or IGF-1, is a hormone that plays key roles in growth and neurogenesis but has also been implicated in aging and stimulating the growth of cancer. Therefore, it may be desirable to achieve higher IGF-1 levels in the brain, while maintaining lower levels in the rest of the body.”

“IGF-1 participates in a complex pathway known as the growth hormone/IGF-1 axis, where it exerts its role to accelerate aging. In this clip, Dr. Valter Longo explains how certain macronutrients influence the insulin/IGF-1/growth hormone axis to modulate aging in many cell types.”

“Emerging evidence suggests that IGF-1 also regulates the aging process via its influence on growth hormone. In this clip, Dr. Valter Longo describes the IGF-1 pathway and explains how defects in the pathway influence disease risk.”
