Cholesterol-Rich Foods (Eggs) Have Minimal Impact on Your LDL 'Bad' Cholesterol

After years of demonizing dietary cholesterol, the consensus in the medical community is finally shifting: cholesterol-rich foods have a minimal impact on serum LDL or total cholesterol.

Blood Sugar Issues Accelerate Aging: Eating for Longevity

Let's discuss how how different macronutrients and blood sugar issues can regulate aging and the induction of cellular senescence. We also discuss how various dietary interventions can achieve prevention of disease and extension of lifespan by modulating senescence. Sponsored Message: Support your Intermittent Fasting lifestyle with the updated Berberine HCl Fasting Accelerator by MYOXCIENCE: Use code podcast to save 12% Link to Articles & Images: https://bit.ly/42kjEen Show Notes: 00:25 Cellular senescence accelerates biologic ageing. 02:00 Senescent cells are enlarged, have dysfunctional mitochondria, and release pro-inflammatory signaling molecules. 02:30 Senescence manifests as wrinkles, memory loss, muscle loss, gray hair, fatty liver, excessive visceral adipose tissue. 03:45 Senescence occurs in response to stressors or developmental signals and behave similar to cancer cells. 05:45 Dysfunctional mitochondria influences glycolysis in cells. 06:15 Give your cells less fuel, glucose, for the proliferation of inflammation. 07:45 Hyperglycemia decreases nitric oxide, which helps prevent cellular senescence. 08:00 Sirtuins can inhibit the formation of senescent cells. 08:55  Berberine, Metformin, and low dose rapamycin, have been used to mitigate hyperglycemia. 10:30 Hyperglycemia also impacts your cardiovascular system and endothelial cells. 12:00 Fat cells can become senescent. 13:00 Ketones (BHB) can help inhibit cellular senescence. 13:25 Optimized omega 3 to omega 6 ratio can help. 14:00 Exercise counters age-related accumulation of senescent cells. 14:40 Senescence within your immune cells is linked with cancer and poor response to infection.

NAC, Glutathione & Aging: New Study is Impressive

Several new studies find NAC and Glycine combinations can support biologic aging and more. Let's dive into these details. Sponsored Message: Support glutathione synthesis and detoxification of environmental pollutants* with NAC Glycine Supreme from MYOXCIENCE: https://bit.ly/NAC-Glycine-Supreme Save with code podcast at checkout:  Studies and detailed show notes: https://bit.ly/41YvaMv Episode Time Stamps 00:00 Glutathione is one of your body’s most important antioxidant and detox molecules. 00:30 Supplement with raw materials, instead of directly supplementing with glutathione. 01:00 N-acetylcysteine and glycine are rate limiting amino acids in glutathione production. 01:00 Glutathione is comprised of glutamine, cystine, and glycine. 02:40 Glycine-NAC supplementation improves glutathione deficiency, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, ageing hallmarks, metabolic defects, muscle strength, cognitive decline and body composition. 05:20 Taking direct antioxidants has conflicting evidence. 07:30 GGT liver enzyme is a marker of glutathione turnover. 11:00 Take antioxidant supplements in the evening.

Erythritol, Stevia and Heart Attacks: Media Botched Study Findings

According to the media, erythritol purportedly causes heart attacks. In actuality, metabolically unhealthy people convert glucose to erythritol. Here's the details about high blood levels of erythritol and heart disease.  Support your Intermittent Fasting lifestyle with the updated Berberine Fasting Accelerator by MYOXCIENCE: https://bit.ly/berberine-fasting-accelerator Use code podcast to save 12% Link to Studies Mentioned: https://bit.ly/Erythritol-study-breakdown

Sugar, Cancer & The Warburg Effect

Let's discuss more about cancer, sugar and The Warburg effect.  Support your Workout Sessions and Healthy Hydration with the Electrolyte + Creatine Combo by MYOXCIENCE : https://bit.ly/electrolyte-stix  Use code podcast to save 12% Link to study & Images: https://youtu.be/I6_QmMuluiE Show Notes:  0:00 Intro 0:05 Breast, lung, colon, and brain cancer have been linked with deranged cellular metabolism.  0:27 Cancer is the second leading cause of mortality in the US.  1:00 Normal cells aerobically breakdown carbohydrates and fats to create ATP. 1:50 Cancer cells, in the presence of oxygen, ferment glucose to make pyruvate and lactate.  3:10 Mitochondria regulate preprogrammed cell death.  5:10 Dysregulated glucose metabolism fosters a tumor microenvironment that favors expansive growth.  5:35 PET scan is diagnostic imaging tool which uses a radioisotope glucose, fluorodeoxyglucose, that helps to diagnose cancer. 7:00 Metformin, which decreases glucose, is being used in cancer treatment and therapeutics. 9:10 Tumors require a chronic overexpression of lactate. Exercise is a transient acute increase in lactate. 10:04 Lactate can cause a cascade of events which helps the tumor grow more blood vessels. 11:25 By circumventing mitochondria for energy, it’s ability to induce apoptosis is inhibited. 13:00 Your microenvironment can foster or inhibit the growth of a tumor. 14:45 Cold immersion is a mitochondrial therapy.  15:40 There is an association with a lower risk for breast cancer, total cancers and colorectal cancers for people who follow dietary prevention guidelines.
