Rhonda Patrick, Ph.D. — Protocols for Fasting, Lowering Dementia Risk, Reversing Heart Aging, & More | Tim Ferriss

In this episode of The Tim Ferriss Show, Tim interviews Dr. Rhonda Patrick, revisiting their previous discussions and diving into actionable health and longevity topics. They explore strategies for cognitive preservation in aging parents, including the benefits of multivitamins, Vitamin D, and Omega-3s, while also addressing the ApoE4 allele's impact on Alzheimer's risk. Rhonda shares her personal interventions for her parents, such as supplements and exercise, and they discuss the potential of sulforaphane and exogenous ketones. The conversation further covers intermittent fasting, VO2 max, exercise types for heart and brain health, sauna benefits, microplastic exposure, and the impact of alcohol on cancer and dementia risk, providing listeners with practical advice and scientific insights.
