“If you have used a consumer genetic testing service like 23andMe or AncestryDNA and want to learn more about whether or not the data indicates your specific genotype on these SNPs, check out our free viral report here.”

Dan Pardi: Ph.D. candidate studying sleep neurobiology at Stanford and University of Leiden, co-founder of Dan’s Plan online wellness company.

“Diet may also affect how much energy the body uses, with some studies suggesting that low-carbohydrate diets may increase total daily energy expenditure by up to 200 calories per day more than higher-carb diets when initiated after weight loss.”

“Dr. Cronise describes his extended, unsupplemented fast after which he observed no apparent metabolic changes, and he challenges the paradigm that nutrients need to be balanced daily. In this clip, Dr. Ray Cronise and Dr. Rhonda Patrick discuss the importance of diet in maximizing healthspan and longevity.”

“Moreover, taking mega doses (i.e. 400 IU/day) of alpha tocopherol has the unintended side-effect of actually depleting tissue levels of another important form of vitamin E that plays an anti-inflammatory role, known as gamma tocopherol.”

“In a randomized crossover study of 20 healthy young adults, a 10:00 PM dinner produced higher overnight glucose and cortisol and lower fat oxidation than a 6:00 PM dinner. Conventional sleep architecture did not change, so the study supports a metabolic effect rather than proving that late meals cause insomnia.”

“A small exploratory study detected some phthalates and metabolites in sweat, but it did not test sauna or exercise, show a fall in body burden, or establish clinical benefit. Reducing exposure remains the clearest practical strategy.”
