Mindsip insights from this episode:

Prioritize resistance training to maximize Clotho levels

While both endurance and resistance exercise raise Clotho, current evidence suggests resistance training has a more robust effect on increasing its levels.

Boost Clotho protein levels through resistance training

Exercise, particularly resistance training, has been shown to be a natural and effective way to increase the body's levels of the Clotho protein.

Leverage Clotho protein to guard against APOE4 dementia

The Clotho protein offers protection against dementia, including the devastating APOE4 version of Alzheimer's disease.

Leverage Clotho gene mutation to reduce cognitive impairment risk

A specific mutation in the Clotho gene leads to higher expression of the protein and is associated with a substantial reduction in cognitive impairment risk.

Understand Clotho's limitations in crossing blood-brain barrier

Despite its brain-protective effects, the Clotho protein itself does not cross the blood-brain barrier when administered into the body.

Activate clotho to enhance cognitive benefits through PF4

Clotho activates platelets in the blood to release Platelet Factor 4 (PF4), a molecule that does cross the blood-brain barrier to deliver cognitive benefits.
