“Lunch varied among sardines, mackerel, wild salmon, avocado, nuts, fruit, cheese, and quinoa salad, giving her flexible sources of protein, marine fats, fiber, and fermented foods. Dinner typically paired fish, chicken, or occasional beef with vegetables or salad.”

“Recent studies have identified a connection between an impaired interferon response and severe COVID-19 disease. Strategies that increase the body's core temperature – analogous to having a fever – may be beneficial early in COVID-19 illness.”

“A large meta-analysis found that protein supplementation improved resistance-training gains in muscle size and strength, with little additional lean-mass benefit above an estimated total intake of about 1.6 grams per kilogram per day for most participants.”

“Research on warm baths and showers suggests that passive heating one to two hours before bedtime can shorten sleep-onset latency and improve self-rated sleep quality, although the evidence does not establish that every sauna routine has the same effect.”

“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.”

“A large observational study associated five healthy lifestyle factors, including a healthy dietary pattern, with an estimated 14 additional years of life expectancy for women and 12 years for men at age 50 compared with following none of the factors.”

“Dr. van Loon sees useful research questions in skin, joints, and recovery after orthopedic surgery, but he keeps those possibilities separate from established muscle-building effects.”

“Until this time, discretion should be exercised by those considering a long-term health regimen. In this clip, Dr. Eric Verdin discusses the idea that increasing protein levels too high while on a ketogenic diet may have adverse health effects.”

“Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) plays a role during childhood for growth and continues later in life to have anabolic and neurotrophic effects. IGF-1 is also implicated in contributing to aging and enhancing the growth of cancer after it has been initiated.”

Many of the anabolic effects of growth hormone are thought to be mediated by insulin-like growth factor-1, or IGF-1 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18500379), which is synthesized primarily in the liver but also in skeletal muscle in response to growth hormone.
