Related Episodes for Seven Habits That Can Influence Inflammatory Physiology

“A systematic review in older adults linked Mediterranean dietary patterns with lower inflammatory markers, while a meta-analysis of randomized trials found that vitamin D supplementation reduced acute respiratory infection risk overall, with the strongest protection among people who were very deficient and received regular doses.”

“In 15 people with severe traumatic brain injury, sodium lactate infusion increased brain lactate, pyruvate, and glucose without raising intracranial pressure, and a randomized study in 60 patients with mild traumatic brain injury reported better cognitive recovery than hypertonic saline.”

“A meta-analysis of 49 studies involving 1,863 adults found that protein supplementation during prolonged resistance training produced additional gains in one-repetition maximum strength, fat-free mass, and muscle size compared with training alone.”

“Sulforaphane activates NRF2-regulated cellular defense pathways. In a randomized crossover trial of 60 adults, eating 85 grams of raw watercress daily for eight weeks reduced basal lymphocyte DNA damage by 17% and oxidative purine DNA damage by 23.9%.”

“In a randomized factorial design, participants were assigned to one gram per day of algae-derived omega-3 or placebo, 2,000 IU of vitamin D3 or placebo, and a 30-minute home strength program three times weekly or a flexibility control.”

“Melatonin appears in the comparison as a personal, goal-specific choice rather than a universal nightly supplement. Dr. Patrick also discusses glycine, collagen, myo-inositol, and other non-overlapping items with different levels of evidence.”

The video serves as a companion to our 15-page Sprouting Guide (https://www.foundmyfitness.com/sprouting) + Q&A with Dr. Jed Fahey (https://www.foundmyfitness.com/episodes/jed-fahey-q-a) – an illustrated manual to the basics of sprouting that includes a brief summary of the science of sulforaphane plus insights from one of the top researchers in the field of chemoprotection.

“In later randomized trials, urolithin A improved some laboratory measures of muscle endurance or hamstring strength, but it did not significantly improve key primary outcomes such as six-minute walk distance, muscle ATP production, or peak power.”

“In a randomized study of healthy adults, four four-minute intervals at 90 to 95 percent of peak heart rate performed three times weekly increased VO2 max by 7.2 percent over eight weeks and outperformed work-matched moderate training.”

“Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses how conditioning the body to heat stress through sauna use, called "hyperthermic conditioning" may cause adaptations that increase athletic endurance (by increasing plasma volume and blood flow to heart and muscles) and potentially even muscle mass. She also discusses the profound effects of hyperthermic conditioning on the brain including cognitive function.”
