How Mitochondria Control Your Metabolism
Dr. Jared Rutter on how cells allocate energy
Andrew Huberman talks with biochemist Jared Rutter about mitochondria as far more than the cell’s “powerhouse.” Rutter explains that metabolism is really the combined activity of trillions of individual cells, each deciding how to use available nutrients. Mitochondria sit at the center of those decisions, helping determine whether fuel is burned to make ATP or directed toward building and maintaining cells. When that resource allocation changes, it can contribute to aging, heart disease, cancer, and other disorders.

Nutritional Ketosis and Cardiovascular Risk in Type 2 Diabetes
One year of carbohydrate restriction improved most measured cardiovascular risk factors
This 2018 study followed 262 adults with type 2 diabetes using a continuous-care program built around sustained carbohydrate restriction and nutritional ketosis, comparing them with 87 adults receiving usual diabetes care. After one year, the intervention group lost substantial weight and improved blood glucose control while also showing lower triglycerides, higher HDL, fewer small LDL particles, larger LDL particle size, lower blood pressure, and substantial reductions in inflammatory markers. Their calculated 10-year cardiovascular risk fell by 11.9%, and many participants were able to discontinue antihypertensive medications. The usual-care group showed no significant improvements.

Effects Of Exercise During Pregnancy On Mode Of Delivery
A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
This 2015 meta-analysis looked at how regular exercise during pregnancy affects how women give birth. Researchers pooled 10 randomized controlled trials involving 3,160 healthy women with uncomplicated pregnancies, comparing supervised exercise programs with usual prenatal care. The programs generally involved aerobic, resistance, strength, and flexibility work performed three times per week at light to moderate intensity.

Rare Disease, Real Kid
Can open science and AI help solve an ultra-rare disease?
Instead of taking the traditional research route, the MVA Hackathon is turning the case of one child with Mosaic Variegated Aneuploidy (MVA) into a global research challenge. With the family’s permission, the child’s genomic and clinical data—information that would ordinarily be available only to a small group of clinicians and researchers—is being opened to a much larger community of geneticists, programmers, AI researchers, students, and citizen scientists. The idea is simple: give many more people and tools a chance to work on an extraordinarily difficult problem and see what they can find.

Emily Kaplan and Thomas Seyfried on Rethinking Cancer
Metabolic therapies, mitochondrial dysfunction, and what’s holding back progress
Emily Kaplan joins Professor Thomas Seyfried for a wide-ranging conversation about the metabolic theory of cancer and why metabolic approaches have struggled to move from research into routine clinical care. Seyfried discusses recent findings from his lab, including work on pediatric glioma and hereditary cancer syndromes, while they explore ketogenic metabolic therapy, repurposed drugs, the GKI, and strategies aimed at exploiting cancer cells’ metabolic vulnerabilities.

Could Intermittent Fasting Reduce Rates of Cancer
What the evidence actually tells us about intermittent fasting, energy restriction, and cancer
This 2016 review examines whether intermittent energy restriction (IER) and intermittent fasting (IF) may reduce cancer risk compared with continuous energy restriction. The authors review evidence from animal studies and limited human trials, focusing on potential mechanisms including insulin sensitivity, inflammation, IGF-I, leptin, cell proliferation, and other pathways associated with cancer development.

The Rise and Fall of Peer Review
Why the greatest scientific experiment in history failed, and why that's a great thing
This article examines the rise of peer review in scientific publishing and argues that the system has failed to deliver on its promise of making science more reliable. Although peer review became widespread after World War II as research funding and the volume of scientific papers exploded, studies suggest reviewers often miss major errors, fraudulent data, and unsupported conclusions. The process also consumes enormous amounts of researchers’ time while doing little to improve replication or scientific productivity.
