“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.”
“In Aliquot #107, we heard from ten experts who shared how they put their knowledge into practice—applying insights from their own research and their colleagues to support their personal health and fitness.”
“Some studies suggest cheese may lower the risk of dementia and heart disease, despite its saturated fat content—raising questions about the effects of food structure, fermentation, and individual differences in metabolism.”
“In Part I of this three-part Aliquot series, creatine expert Dr. Darren Candow and I examine creatine through the lens of two critical systems—muscle and bone—and unpack how creatine supplementation affects muscle quality, physical function, and even skeletal health, particularly in older adults.”
“In Aliquot #131, The Muscle and Bone Benefits of Creatine, creatine expert Dr. Darren Candow and I discussed how creatine supplementation affects muscle quality, physical function, and even skeletal health, particularly in older adults.”
“In this Aliquot, I'll explore how to recognize and address iron deficiency, the unique challenges of iron overload in aging, the ways alcohol may influence brain iron, and how infants tightly regulate iron as a built-in defense against infection.”
“In this Aliquot, sleep scientist Dr. Michael Grandner explains why sleep apnea is so often missed, how these nightly breathing disturbances affect the body, and which treatments can meaningfully improve sleep and long-term health.”
“In this Aliquot, I explain why visceral fat behaves so differently from other fat, how it drives insulin resistance and chronic disease, and what research shows about the most effective ways to reduce it.”
“In this Aliquot, I walk through how that plays out in humans, where the strongest evidence shows up, and where it doesn't, with NAD researcher Dr. Charles Brenner—and why I'm taking it now after being skeptical.”
“Modulating autophagy – through fasting and exercise (which both increase acetyl CoA) or intake of nutrients like spermidine – represents a promising therapeutic approach for extending human lifespan and healthspan.”
