“Sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate compound derived from broccoli sprouts and certain cruciferous vegetables, exerts a wide range of beneficial effects in humans. Some of these effects are mediated by increased glutathione, one of the body's most potent antioxidants, to promote brain health.”
“Rebuilding muscle relies on proper nutrition and exercise, but aging reduces the body's response to both. Extended periods of inactivity, such as post-surgery or during illness, can rapidly deplete muscle mass, especially in older people, potentially pushing them into a "catabolic crisis."”
“In this Aliquot, Drs. Axel Montagne, Matthew Walker, Mark Mattson, Valter Longo, Peter Attia, and I discuss the risks associated with high blood pressure and describe some of the many ways lifestyle can help achieve and maintain healthy blood pressure.”
“However, dietary strategies, pharmaceuticals, and some supplements may reduce ApoB levels. In this Aliquot – a follow-up to Aliquot #81 – Dr. Peter Attia and I talk about some of the nutritional, pharmaceutical, and supplemental approaches to reduce ApoB.”
“In this Aliquot, Drs. Martin Gibala, Brad Schoenfeld, and Mark Mattson share their thoughts on the importance of resistance training and how its aerobic qualities boost cardiovascular health while optimizing your workout's time efficiency.”
“Mitochondria are best known for their energy-producing roles, but they also help regulate cellular metabolism, signaling, and apoptosis (programmed cell death). As a result, mitochondrial health is intrinsically linked to overall health.”
“Mitochondrial health and overall health are intrinsically linked. Identifying ways to boost mitochondrial biogenesis – the formation of new mitochondria – ensures that cells maintain an adequate number of mitochondria to meet their energy needs.”
“A key component in these processes is the lactate shuttle – a metabolic pathway that facilitates the movement of lactate between tissues so it can be used as an energy source, effectively recycling it and supporting sustained exercise performance.”
“In this Aliquot, cardiologist Ben Levine, nutritional scientist and champion powerlifter Layne Norton, and I discuss the importance of recovery, how best to approach it, and some surprising, often overlooked aspects of this important part of fitness.”
“Sodium keeps our hearts beating, our muscles moving, and our nerves firing—but it's also one of the most debated nutrients in health. While sodium is essential for survival, too much or too little can tip the scales toward problems like high blood pressure or fatigue.”
