“Dr. Rhonda Patrick – who wears a continuous glucose monitor – has found that her post-smoothie blood glucose levels are markedly lower when her smoothie contains moringa powder. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick shares anecdotal evidence that moringa reduces blood glucose levels.”

“Resveratrol, a plant-based compound found in red grapes and peanuts, has been shown to exert beneficial health effects – especially on the cardiovascular system of monkeys. Resveratrol is a "dirty molecule," however, known for its multiple cellular targets, so teasing out all the ramifications of its use has proven problematic.”

“Her practical message is to reduce the frequency and size of large glucose exposures. Foods with intact fiber, protein, and minimally processed carbohydrates digest more slowly than refined added sugar, while regular exercise gives skeletal muscle a large destination for circulating glucose.”

“For example, growing up in an overly hygienic environment increases a child's risk for developing autoimmune diseases, but exposure to dirt, especially from soil, pets, and roaches, in the first year of life may provide protection against asthma and allergy-related skin disease.”

Dr. Eric M. Verdin discusses the roles of the ketogenic diet, beta-hydroxybutyrate, HDAC inhibitors, NAD+, and more in the context of aging.

“A smaller comparative study found improved hair density, shaft size, and anagen-follicle proportion with 2 percent ketoconazole shampoo, while its authors called for larger controlled studies. These results support individualized combinations rather than one universal protocol.”

“Contrary to the traditional view of lactate as a metabolic waste product, it is now recognized for its critical role in brain health. Elevated lactate levels after vigorous exercise are linked to improved executive function, hinting at its potential protective benefits against neurodegenerative diseases.”

“Patients assigned to supervised exercise during neoadjuvant chemoradiation, followed by continued activity before surgery, were more likely to achieve a complete or near-complete pathological response than those receiving usual care.”

“A larger randomized-trial meta-analysis also found modest average reductions in BMI, waist circumference, and body-fat percentage, although protocols and populations varied. These averages do not mean that HIIT alone guarantees fat loss.”

“A 2023 network meta-analysis of 270 randomized trials found average reductions after aerobic, dynamic resistance, combined, high-intensity interval, and isometric training, with the largest pooled estimate for isometric exercise.”
