Had a great conversation with Dr. Elissa Epel yesterday! I have referenced her research for many years, but this was our first time meeting. We talked a lot about her research into the effects of stress, obesity, food addiction on the aging process as well as transgenerational effects passed onto offspring.

Physical activity and telomere length in U.S. men and women: An NHANES investigation

The principal objective was to determine the extent to which physical activity (PA) accounts for differences in leukocyte telomere length (LTL)

I always make time for spin class! I do high-intensity interval cycling a couple times a week and always feel rejuvenated after I put in the hard work. There is some science that backs that up too. Multiple studies have shown that high-intensity exercise can delay biological aging by up to 9 years as measured by telomere length. I think physical activity may be the one true panacea for good health.

I love my @philipshue lights! You can program them to turn red light on at sunset which is great because blue light inhibits melatonin production. Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland that regulates over 500 genes in the body. Melatonin is a strong stimulator of sleep and also tells the body it is time to repair damage. Avoiding blue light in the evening will help you sleep better and will keep your internal clock in sync.

My blood ketone levels shot up to 4.5mmol/L just 60 minutes after I drank the ketone ester (my baseline levels were 0.1 mmol/L). I immediately felt super energized without any jittery feeling. I did an hour long cycling class and definitely noticed a boost in my endurance. I also had a significant increase in my power. I’m glad I ate a high carb meal before because the ketone ester also dramatically lowered my blood glucose levels as well (about 50 units). Super interested to try out my round 2 soon.
