SHR # 2448 :: Metformin's False Status as a Wonder-drug for Longevity and Physique Goals PLUS MORE :: Jared Boynton and Taeian Clark - Metformin is promised to make already healthy people to live longer, leaner and healthier. The drug has been studied in humans since 1950, but its popularity as an anti-aging drug is very recent. And its not truly supported by the literature. All of its purported anti-aging effects in otherwise healthy people is all basically extrapolated. There are no long term studies that prove otherwise healthy people who took the drug lived longer than the control that didn't. People who believe its value fro anti-aging will fight you if you disagree with them!

SHR # 2447 :: BEST OF: Unilateral Leg Training For Greater Gains And Strength PLUS Study Shows Exercise Reduces Men's Risk Of Dementia And Chronic Disease :: - Guest: Bret Contreras - Prof. Peter Elwood - It can be said that we live life on one leg at a time. So why don't more people do unilateral leg training? What can unilateral leg training do for you if you incorporate it into your current training? And which exercises lend themselves to the best outcomes? This and much more are discussed by Contreras. PLUS Prof. Elwood is lead author of a study that looked at the effects and outcomes of a large cohort over 30 years and discovered that exercise protects against chronic disease. What was also surprising (maybe not to this audience) was that it protected against cognitive decline as well. PLUS Carl is calling all Super Human's to download the new Smartphone App

Multiple Sclerosis is on the rise in women. Dr. Langer-Gould's group looked at the linkage between hormonal contraceptives and the prevalence of Multiple Sclerosis. PLUS Dr. Rasgon's group looked at brain function, metabolism and cognition in a group of postmenopausal women who are genetically predisposed to dementia. They compared those who are currently on HRT and those who were on and stopped. They also corrected for those using beta-estradiol, beta-estradiol and progesterone combined and compared to those using Conjugated Equine Estrogen as well as synthetic estrogen and progestins. The results was astounding and explains why the Women's Health Initiative study was a complete failure and ultimately hurt a lot of women. PLUS Many of us are aware of the importance of the microbiome in our body. But what if you can't influence it through the introduction of beneficial microbes?

Dr. Nibali's group may have discovered that its your genes that allow your body to adopt some microbes while not others.
