“01:52:55 - Environmental enrichment creates epigenetic changes that benefit learning and memory in rodents and these benefits transfer to offspring. Study. 02:05:00 - NASA study showed that gravity influenced expression of genes involved in metastasis.”

“02:03:18 - A recent study measured omega-3 fatty acid levels from both supplemental and dietary sources in blood and found that for every 1 percent increment in omega-3 fatty acid levels there was a 20 percent decreased risk in all-cause mortality.”

“00:34:40 - Repeated traumatic brain injury has cumulative neuroinflammatory effects in the brain over years, including amyloid-beta plaque and tau tangle formation. Study. 00:44:00 - A variant of the APOE gene increases risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease as much as 15-fold.”

“New Scientist article. 02:06:10 - Some people, like Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves, seem to defy aging. 02:08:15 - One 12-ounce can of sugar-sweetened soft drink per day shortened telomere length, corresponding to 4.6 years of biological aging.”

“Dr. Patrick also discusses glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin, kidney and electrolyte markers, hs-CRP, fibrinogen, thyroid tests, CBC, vitamin D, sex hormones, IGF-1, and the Omega-3 Index.”

“If we eat carbohydrate-containing foods when melatonin levels are high, our pancreas cannot produce the insulin needed to use the glucose. Therefore, eating too close to bedtime or immediately upon waking, before nightly melatonin levels have declined, may hamper the body's ability to process glucose.”

“Finally, choline is also a precursor for phosphatidylcholine, the major component of all cell membranes, which affects the structure, permeability and function of cells and is particularly important in neurons since it plays a role in general neurotransmission.”

“The clip also raises questions about micronutrient status. A systematic review found a slight association between vitamin D status and total testosterone, with substantial heterogeneity, and concluded that both may reflect overall health status.”

“Because red blood cells turn over slowly, the test provides a longer-term view of marine omega-3 status than a recent meal and gives people a measurable way to evaluate diet or supplementation.”

“A later Framingham analysis followed 2,240 adults for 11 years and found that a red-cell fatty acid model including the Omega-3 Index predicted all-cause mortality about as well as a model using several standard cardiovascular risk factors.”
