“Autophagy is thought to be part of a coordinated biological process that is important for exposing cancer cells to the immune system, ultimately leading to their weakening and death. However, the relationship between autophagy and cancer is complicated.”

“Even though the primary endpoints failed (NR did not improve insulin sensitivity or weight loss), he notes a meaningful signal in reduced liver fat—a 2% decrease in the NR group compared to a 0.2% reduction in the placebo group, a difference that didn't reach statistical significance, likely because subjects weren't randomized by liver fat and variability was high.”

“Preliminary findings from a study analyzing UK Biobank data with over 25,000 participants suggest that even 3-4 minutes of VILPA daily could reduce all-cause mortality risk by 25-30%.”

“Other hormetic responses to cold exposure include increased production of PGC1-alpha, a protein that promotes mitochondrial biogenesis, the production of new, healthy mitochondria, and the activation of brown fat – a phenomenon once thought to occur only in newborns, but now known to occur in adults, especially after cold exposure.”

“Perhaps the most clear-cut examples of cryotherapy’s beneficial effects are observed in the brain, where levels of the hormone and neurotransmitter norepinephrine – responsible for vigilance, attention, focus, and positive mood – increase markedly when the body is exposed to extreme cold.”

“However, the term "fasting" can comprise a variety of subtypes. Intermittent fasting, a term lacking specificity, usually refers to interventions such as alternate-day fasting, fasting one day per week, or a five:two eating pattern (fasting for two days per week).”

“One aspect of COVID-19, discovered early in the pandemic, is that the illness occurs in two well-defined phases: an early and a late phase, usually demarcated by the onset of pneumonia.”

“The most compelling human signal appears when the brain is under acute strain. In a randomized crossover study, a single dose of 0.35 grams per kilogram during 21 hours of sleep deprivation changed cerebral energy metabolites and preserved selected measures of cognitive performance.”
