This was my response: Unfortunately, I don’t have access to a video summarizing extension, so I can’t directly summarize the video for you.
However, I can try to find some information about the video using youtube.search. Here is what I found:

    Is there anything else I can help you with?

Are you using the web or an app?
This was an app on my iPad.

Found this site though and it is terrific!

I tried again and after a couple of stubborn cycles where Gemini repeated more or less the same things, I typed this prompt, which apparently was the right one. It seems that we still have to learn how to best interact with these ‘intelligent’ algorithms. There are also some mistakes. I could easily understand that Aazanthon is Astaxanthin, but I just could not figure out what kind of supplement ‘ninas’ was, as hard as I tried. I had to go back to the video and understood that it is nattokinase!

please expand the analysis

The video “11 Supplements Reviewed by a PhD - 47 Studies Later” by Physionic reviews 11 supplements and their effects on various health outcomes. The supplements are graded based on the strength of evidence and effect size. Some of the top-rated supplements include creatine (A) for muscle mass and strength, lutein and zeaxanthin (A) for eye health, and omega-3s (B) for heart health. The video also discusses supplements like glycine for sleep (C), torine for metabolic syndrome (B), and beta-alanine for performance (B). The author provides a detailed breakdown of the findings for each supplement, including the number of studies analyzed and the limitations of the research. He also offers recommendations on which supplements to prioritize based on budget and individual needs.

Here is a more detailed breakdown of the supplements examined in the video:

  • Omega-3s (B for heart health): Nine studies, including meta-analyses, show that omega-3s reduce heart disease risk in people with heart disease. However, there is some evidence that omega-3s can increase the risk of irregular heart rhythms.
  • Glycine (C for sleep): Four studies indicate that glycine is effective for sleep, but most of the studies were industry-affiliated and the effect sizes were relatively small.
  • Torine (B for metabolic syndrome): One meta-analysis of 25 randomized control trials found that torine supplementation provides multiple benefits for metabolic syndrome, including reductions in blood pressure, blood triglycerides, and blood sugar. However, there is a lot of heterogeneity across studies.
  • Aazanthon (D for skin): One analysis of 11 studies found that aazanthon may provide a benefit for skin health, but the analysis was weakened by inconsistency across studies and the effect size was small.
  • Lion’s mane (D for cognitive function in healthy individuals, C for cognitive function in individuals with cognitive impairment): Eight studies show that lion’s mane has disappointing results for young and healthy individuals. However, there is some evidence that lion’s mane may be beneficial for people with cognitive impairment.
  • Beta-alanine (B for performance): Two meta-analyses of up to 40 studies found that beta-alanine improves physical performance, but the effect is small and only applies to certain types of exercise.
  • Creatine (A for performance): Multiple studies show that creatine is beneficial for muscle mass and strength, even in older individuals.
  • Rodiola Rosea (C for cognitive function): Several studies on Rodiola Rosea are of poor quality, but some well-done studies indicate a benefit for cognition.
  • Ninas (F for plaque reversal, C for blood pressure and other cardiovascular outcomes): Two studies show conflicting results on the effect of ninas on plaque reversal. Multiple studies indicate that ninas mildly improves blood pressure and may improve other areas of cardiovascular health.
  • Lutein and zeaxanthin (A for eye health): Six studies and scientific reviews show that lutein and zeaxanthin are effective for eye health, with both long-term eye protection and improvements in eye function.
  • Berberine (C for metabolic disorders): Multiple studies show that berberine is beneficial for reducing different clinical markers of type 2 diabetes, but not all of the studies are of high quality.

The author concludes by stating that the ratings of some supplements may change in the future as more research is conducted. He also offers recommendations on which supplements to prioritize based on budget and individual needs. If you have a limited budget, the author recommends prioritizing creatine, lutein and zeaxanthin, omega-3s, and torine.

Daily Green tea and duckweed greatly reduces visceral fat.

The green-MED group further consumed green tea (3–4 cups/day) and Wolffia globosa (duckweed strain) plant green shake (100 g frozen cubes/day) (+ 800mg/day polyphenols) and reduced red meat intake.

Nice to know that green tea, probably walnuts, pomegranates and others might aid in reducing weight. And visceral fats. This discussion makes me remember a korean study about a substance called actiponin. Human study. ( I dont know if it was sponsored or not by actiponin interests). It has coms nice (CT scan) images of visceral fat loss.

He references the study below:

https://academic.oup.com/eurheartj/article/46/8/749/7928425

After adjustment for caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee intake amounts, sleep hours, and other confounders, the morning-type pattern, rather than the all-day-type pattern, was significantly associated with lower risks of all-cause (hazard ratio: .84; 95% confidential interval: .74–.95) and cardiovascular disease-specific (hazard ratio: .69; 95% confidential interval: .55–.87) mortality as compared with non-coffee drinking. Coffee drinking timing significantly modified the association between coffee intake amounts and all-cause mortality (P -interaction = .031); higher coffee intake amounts were significantly associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality in participants with morning-type pattern but not in those with all-day-type pattern.

Data came from the much used National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey .

The all-day coffee solution to poor mental energy. I’ve done it when I burned the candle at both ends for years at a time. I can imagine what truly unhealthy people have to do to function well at work. I think the all-day coffee behavior is a marker for poor health or at least a marker of addiction issues, which might also be a marker of poor health.

Thanks for that! I’ve heard about Esselstyn’s work and it sounds so very convincing.

I’d even be willing to do it, but aside from he and Ornish, I’ve never really heard anyone in recent years subscribing to the 0 oil idea. Well, maybe Dr Greger from Nutrition Facts does, and of course, his son who is the engine 2 diet guy.

In fact, I’ve been told to make a point of consuming olive oil, so I happy have more than I used to.

Giving up nuts and coffee would the hardest part for me, but if convinced, which I’m not, I’d do it tomorrow.

As a child, Michael Greger watched his heart-diseased grandmother return from the brink of promised death.

Her cure was the low-fat Pritikin diet, and her Lazarusian return — a miracle to both young Greger and the entourage of doctors who’d sent her home to die — launched him on a mission to promote the healing power of foods.

Decades later, Greger hasn’t slowed down. Now an international lecturer, doctor, and voice behind the science-parsing website Nutrition Facts, Greger recently added “bestselling author” to his résumé. His book, How Not to Die, is a 562-page user’s guide for thwarting our biggest and most preventable killers.

His weapon of choice? The same one that saved his grandmother: a whole-food, plant-based diet.

Like many books advocating plant-based eating, How Not to Die paints nutritional science with a broad, suspiciously uncomplicated brush. Unprocessed plant foods are good, Greger hammers home, and everything else is a blight on the dietary landscape.

To his credit, Greger distinguishes plant-based from the less flexible terms vegan and vegetarian, and allows some freedom for humans to be human — “don’t beat yourself up if you really want to put edible bacon-flavored candles on your birthday cake,” he advises readers (page 265).

But the science, he asserts, is clear: any foray outside the proverbial broccoli forest is for pleasure rather than for health.

Despite its biases, How Not to Die contains treasures for members of any dietary persuasion. Its references are sprawling, its scope is vast, and its puns aren’t always bad. The book makes an exhaustive case for food as medicine and reassures readers that — far from tinfoil hat territory — being wary of the profit-driven “medical-industrial complex” is justified.

These perks are almost enough to make up for the book’s biggest liability: its repeated misrepresentation of research to fit the plant-based ideology.

Pritikin died at age 69 of leukemia. I had his book. The diet, to me, seemed prohibitively difficult.

Author of the article above is Denise Minger, an ex vegan (for a decade). Below is a sample of her work:

I failed at giving uo cofffee. I am back to one double espresso every morning…I will try again…

Funnily enough I have just (1 month ago) given up both. Coffee was easy as I was never a big coffee guru. I just drink green tea now which is what I have done for 20 years with periodic coffee added on top. Nuts were even easier as I ran out. As long as I don’t have nuts in my house I’m not tempted. If nuts ARE in my house there is no stopping me.

What I really want to do is quit caffeine as an everyday thing to save it for special occasions: poor sleep, need for super productivity, etc. Why do I drink caffeine after a great night of sleep? I think being addicted to anything is a sign of poor mental function. I don’t mean brain health but rather mental skill. It’s the essence of Freewill.

That’s what I’m aiming at down the road … to improve my mental skill to where I am not susceptible to addictions or unreasonable cravings. I’m not too far away at this point.

@Joseph_Lavelle, I get you are giving up coffee so you don’t feel addicted.

@Curious, I’m curious why are you trying to give it up? I only hear it’s good for us? Same reason as Joe?

Because my latte is my favorite part of my day, I’ve gone all in and am waaaay too financially committed to my espresso set up to give it up short of learning it’s unhealthy. If it’s unhealthy, speak now because an espresso bar is being built next month!

I don’t feel I ‘need’ caffeine to function and don’t even notice feeling different afterwards, but I just need to be 100% all in or out in order to avoid a headache.

It’s funny, I actually hate the taste of coffee, but I don’t taste it because I use a cup of frothed soy milk (soy, to get 10 grams of protein out of the way!). I just love the ritual and it’s why I get out of bed in the morning! When I do Prolon, it’s the only thing I truly miss.

Granted, I do like it a little less these days only because my homemade almond milk was the stuff dreams are made off, but my focus on getting enough protein over the last year has ruined all parts of my life, so why not my latte too :slight_smile:

Joe, why are you getting rid of nuts, is it just because they are calorie dense? The extra saturated fat? I make an effort to use them for the nutrients and a little extra protein.

My sacrifice if getting rid of nuts would be nut milks and making cashew cream. I don’t care about snacking on them, although I make an effort to have a handful here and there for the nutrients, calories and protein.
