“Dr. Brooks's exact practice of waking 96 minutes before dawn comes from the Vedic concept of Brahma Muhurta rather than a tested clinical protocol. Creatine may provide modest cognitive benefits in some settings, although results in healthy adults are mixed.”

“In more than 2,000 adults ages 51 to 80, higher Sitting-Rising Test scores were associated with longer survival, making floor-transfer ability a useful marker of functional capacity. Floor time can include cross-legged sitting, kneeling, side-sitting, or sitting with the legs extended.”

“Dr. Schoenfeld says the situation is likely more complex and nuanced. For example, a marathon runner will have difficulty with hypertrophy, probably due to overtraining rather than intracellular signaling negatively affecting muscle development.”

“A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that there's a correlation between nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management and having longer telomeres. Identifying the mechanisms that drive these correlations has proven challenging, but a few candidates stand out, including improvements in immune function and metabolic health.”

In this clip, Dr. Patrick explains how intense exercise beneficially alters tryptophan and kynurenine metabolism in a way that may benefit depression.

“Dr. McGlory sheds light on the relationship between aerobic conditioning and muscle hypertrophy, addressing the notion that aerobic exercise might hinder muscle growth gained through resistance training.”

“Removing former drinkers from the non-drinker category reveals a different story: One study observed that the lowest risk for cardiovascular disease (i.e., ischemic heart disease) was right below one standard U.S. drink per week — men and women at this level of consumption had an ~18% lower risk compared to nondrinkers.”

“Dr. Rhonda Patrick spent many months researching and learning about the myriad factors that would influence her child's development, and she has continued to do so as her son has grown – and as new research has become available.”
