Performance Around The Clock

Dr. Bente Klarlund Pedersen discusses her research on myokines, exercise as medicine, and advocating for health initiatives. She explains the impact of exercise on the immune system, benefits for cancer prevention, and how muscle-derived factors improve metabolism. Dr. Pedersen also shares her journey into science, public policy, and promoting physical activity for overall health.

Dr. Mark Febbraio, head of Cellular and Molecular Metabolism Laboratory, discusses exercise, inflammation, and disease research. Topics include his transition from a triathlete to researcher, link between exercise and inflammation, leveraging knowledge to treat disease, and the effects of exercise on immunity and cognitive function.

This week’s episode of the Performance Around the Clock podcast (episode 15) comes from the Cell Symposium on Exercise Metabolism in Lisbon, Portugal. Dr. Amber Mueller, scientific editor at Cell Metabolism and co-organizer of the symposium talks to us about life as a scientific editor and about the field of exercise metabolism.

Dr. Elizabeth Sage Epstein, a cardiologist and author of 'A Beautiful Heart Cookbook,' dives into cholesterol's critical role in heart health. She explains the difference between LDL and HDL, detailing how they impact cardiovascular disease risk. The conversation covers advanced techniques like NMR LipoProfile for assessing lipid levels and discusses lifestyle changes to combat plaque development. Epstein also emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis, the liver's role in cholesterol regulation, and revolutionary treatments like PCSK9 inhibitors for managing cholesterol effectively.

In episode 8 of the Performance Around the Clock podcast, Dr. Satchin Panda has an enlightening conversation with Dr. Elizabeth Sage Epstein, a cardiologist and author. They discuss the importance of the heart and impact on overall health, preventive measures for chronic diseases, the cardiovascular system and the importance of cardiac health in young, active individuals.Guest:Dr. Elizabeth Sage Epstein, Scripps Health, Integrative Cardiology FellowX (formerly Twitter): @lizziesageMDhttps://twitter.com/lizziesageMDAuthor:A Beautiful Heart Cookbook: Heart-Healthy Recipes for a Long, Happy Lifehttps://www.amazon.com/Beautiful-Heart-Cookbook-Heart-healthy-Recipes/dp/1982234164Host:Dr. Satchin PandaX (formerly Twitter): @SatchinPandahttps://twitter.com/SatchinPandaInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/satchin.panda/Links:Donations: https://panda.salk.edu/giving/Research: https://www.salk.edu/scientist/satchidananda-panda/More science: https://mycircadianclock.org/
