“Microbial responses to individual components of a person's diet may influence host health. Food ingredients, such as artificial sweeteners and dietary emulsifiers, are typically thought to be inert, however, recent evidence suggests they impact gut microbes, ultimately influencing human health.”

“However, she considers the amounts in its proprietary superfood, extract, and probiotic blends too small to justify expecting the broader benefits implied by those categories. She presents this as her assessment of the product label.”

“Dr. Aubrey de Grey is a biomedical gerontologist and the founder of the SENS Research Foundation which aims to find technologies that can repair the various types of damage that occur during the aging process. Learn more about Dr. Aubrey De Grey SENS Research Foundation.”

“Activation of this important system of immunosurveillance is a predictor of the long-term efficacy of chemotherapy and may help to explain the complex relationship of autophagy with cancer, wherein the initial suppression of autophagy may help prevent attracting undue attention from the immune system, but may later facilitate ongoing transformation.”

“For instance, while the U.S. has high obesity rates, its rates of type 2 diabetes remain modest compared to countries like Singapore, India, and many Middle Eastern nations—populations that, on average, tend to have "fatter fat cells" and therefore develop metabolic complications at lower body mass indices (BMIs).”

“Another study suggests that intermittent fasting combined with exercise training increased serum ketone levels, increased the number of mitochondria in muscle cells, and improved endurance. In this clip, Dr. Mark Mattson describes how fasting and exercise work together to promote brain health.”

“Dr. Patrick treats magnesium L-threonate separately. Early human findings are limited by small studies, industry funding, and products that sometimes include coingredients, making it difficult to attribute effects to L-threonate alone.”

“An enriched marine-oil study produced time- and dose-dependent increases in specialized pro-resolving mediators and altered blood-cell responses over 24 hours; it tested biomarkers, not disease prevention. Exercise, sauna, and cruciferous vegetables act through different pathways.”

“In this video, Dr. Darya & Kevin Rose talk about beta-hydroxybutyrate, an endogenous ketone body that increases in concentration during times of fasting or carbohydrate restriction. Beta-hydroxybutyrate also increases during a fasting-mimicking diet, which is a time of temporary period of calorie and protein restriction that generates many of the same biochemical effects of prolonged fasting.”

“A common feature of heart disease is arrhythmia, an irregular heartbeat. Interestingly, research in fruit flies has shown that unhealthy lifestyle behaviors, such as poor sleep and diet, increase the risk of developing arrhythmias.”
