Disrupting the body's normal sleep/circadian rhythm helps colorectal cancer metastasize by increasing MDSCs and shutting down CD8⁺ T-cell immunity.

This is through messing up the #microbiome

Leucine does more than build muscle. It powers up your cells. “When leucine helps preserve these proteins, mitochondria can operate more effectively and increase the amount of energy the cell produces.”

“CrM supplementation with and without exercise and diet intervention may help middle-aged and older adults maintain muscle mass and strength while favourably affecting selected markers of health and cognitive function.”

Even small amounts of physical activity are associated with a lower risk of depression.

You don't need to run a marathon to see the benefits.

Exercise helps the aging brain keep growing new cells.

Age changes the brain, but movement can push back.

I often approach the dangers of chronically elevated insulin from the perspective of it driving insulin resistance (and it certainly does). However, I wonder how much of the consequences of the elevated insulin are also a consequence of depriving the body of ketones?

Ketones have been shown in humans to have myriad benefits, including preserving muscle mass, improving cognition (and other brain benefits), and even enhancing kidney function in those with chronic kidney disease.

Naturally, controlling carbohydrates is the most effective way to lower insulin. This not only improves insulin resistance, but it also allows an increase in ketones. And this is where I think exogenous ketones (goBHB) can be so helpful: for those who aren't interested in controlling carbs. They can supplement with goBHB to enjoy the benefits of the ketones.
