What FoundMyFitness Has Covered
PremiumEvolution appears here as a framework for understanding biological change across timescales—from viral variants and mutation patterns to aging, nutrition, and disease. Viral evolution can produce antibody-evading variants, but the cited evidence does not support vaccines…

“Q&A Session #03 (03/11/18). Q&A Session #34 (04/02/22) - Q: Would you stop taking a multivitamin if you were diagnosed with cancer? Dr. Derya Unutmaz on AI-guided cancer treatment, tumor evolution, and personalized medicine.”

Why viral evolution is different from antibiotic resistance
“While this is a serious concern, it is not to be confused with viral evolution. Some fear that vaccines can drive the virus to evolve and become more virulent. Viruses as non-living entities are vastly different microorganisms than bacteria.”
Clip
Do COVID-19 vaccines cause SARS-CoV-2 to become more virulent?
“However, new variants may arise that evade the antibodies produced by vaccines. Yet, there is no evidence to suggest that vaccines can cause pathogens to become more virulent. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses the relationship between vaccines and viral evolution.”

Insights into development, evolution, and aging | Dr. Morgan Levine
“In this clip, Drs. Levine and Patrick discuss how genes that are important for embryonic development can tell us a lot about aging. Dr. Levine gives her insights into the process of aging - is it the accumulation of random damage or the malfunction of a cellular program?”

Bruce Ames on Triage Theory, Longevity Vitamins & Micronutrients
“In this video Dr. Rhonda Patrick interviews Dr. Bruce Ames about his triage theory, which he proposes that the body has developed a rationing response to shortages of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) throughout evolution.”
Father's age influences rate of evolution: 90% of new mutations from father, chimpanzee study shows
“Mutation risk is linked to father's age because the sperm lineage in males keeps dividing, while females have all the eggs they are ever going to produce present at birth. It's believed that chimps may produce more (cycles of) sperm than humans, and thereby amplifying this affect.”

Dr. George Church: Rewriting Genomes to Eradicate Disease and Aging
“A disruption to the expectations of eons of viral evolution Theoretically, if a host's genome could be precisely recoded with fewer or, better still, swapped codons, it might happily continue chugging along making the same proteins.”
Genetics study determines non-related friends, on average, more related than a stranger in a given population. Your friends are basically 4th cousins.
“Genes in common between friends are usually in areas that are changing more quickly: > Finally, the researchers noted genes that were very similar between friends seem to be evolving quicker than other genes. They said this may explain why human evolution appears to have accelerated over the last 30,000 years, and they indicate that the social ecosystem itself is an evolutionary drive.”

00:30:02 - Why ApoB exists in humans when it doesn't in most species – did evolution make a misstep? 00:33:31 - Whether there's an ApoB level low enough that it's impossible to die from atherosclerosis? 00:37:20 - Which dietary factors increase ApoB?
