“In this clip, Drs. Levine and Patrick discuss genetic and environmental factors that can accelerate or slow epigenetic aging. Dr. Levine also discusses the aging clock she created and how it can be used, along with other biomarkers, to determine an individual's rate of aging.”

“Dr. Patrick explains some of the early evidence that suggests the value prolonged fasting (48+ hours) may have from the standpoint of tissue rejuvenation and healthspan maintenance, as well as relevance for other more specific conditions.”

“Mounting evidence suggests that exploiting this property may be useful towards reducing the toxicity of chemotherapeutics while also maximizing their impact in the treatment of cancer.”

“In REDUCE-IT, prescription icosapent ethyl lowered major ischemic events among statin-treated adults with elevated triglycerides, while atrial fibrillation or flutter requiring hospitalization occurred more often in the treatment group.”

“A large meta-analysis found that protein supplementation improved resistance-training gains in muscle size and strength, with little additional lean-mass benefit above an estimated total intake of about 1.6 grams per kilogram per day for most participants.”

“Dr. Patrick also cautions that glutamine can serve as fuel for rapidly dividing cells; people with cancer, a history of polyps, or active gastrointestinal disease should not treat supplementation as routine and should discuss it with a clinician.”

“Although this extreme cooling could provoke a life-threatening condition called coronary spasm in people with underlying cardiovascular conditions, it poses little risk among healthy people.”

“Geneticists like Dr. George Church, believe gene drives could be used to eliminate pathogens carried by insects, such as malaria, which is carried by a small number of mosquito species, or Lyme disease, which is carried by deer ticks.”

“When produced during exercise (especially high intensity workouts like cycling, which shifts metabolism toward glycolysis to more quickly meet the high energetic demands), lactate switches on more than 600 genes involved in muscle adaptation, stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis – the process of making new mitochondria – and promotes protein synthesis, which is essential for muscle growth.”

“In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on The Mel Robbins Podcast, she outlines a practical sleep audit built around adequate sleep, morning light, regular timing, earlier meals, and alcohol awareness.”
