“This clip originates from an interview recorded on the Kevin Rose Show, which you can click here to download the full version of. Sauna bathing after high-intensity exercise can reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and improve muscle strength.”

“A staggering 60% of all calories Americans consume come from ultra-processed foods that fail to induce proper satiety, remain cheaper than whole foods, and hijack our dopamine reward pathways, pushing us to overeat, incentivizing unhealthy food choices, and reinforcing addictive eating behaviors.”

“In a small randomized trial of adults aged 60 to 80, five grams per day during 12 weeks of supervised resistance training increased lean mass more than placebo plus training; measured strength and bone outcomes did not significantly differ between groups.”

“Early human evidence includes local-heat studies during limb immobilization and biomarker studies after resistance training, but those results do not prove that whole-body sauna builds muscle or prevents age-related muscle loss.”

“A meta-analysis restricted to direct regional measures from MRI, CT, or ultrasound found a very small average hypertrophy benefit when creatine was combined with resistance training, with uncertainty around the pooled estimate and variation across sites and populations.”

“In a four-month randomized trial of 88 overweight, untrained middle-aged adults, daily doses of 500 or 1,000 milligrams improved some muscle and mitochondrial measures, while the primary outcome of peak power did not significantly improve.”

“In a controlled five-week crossover trial involving men with prediabetes, an early six-hour eating window with dinner before 3 p.m. improved insulin sensitivity, pancreatic beta-cell responsiveness, blood pressure, oxidative stress, and appetite without causing weight loss.”

“A meta-analysis of 49 resistance-training studies found small additional gains from protein supplementation, with fat-free-mass gains leveling near 1.6 grams per kilogram per day in the studied populations.”
