“Ultimately, we all have to weigh the merits and the trade-offs of portable devices for ourselves and our children individually, but it might mean holding out on the tablet until they're a little older, setting rules around it, and certainly demonstrating our own self-discipline in their use.”

“Exercise promotes the release of insulin-like growth factor-1 and its downstream targets, growth hormone and brain-derived neurotrophic factor, to drive muscle and neuron growth. Sauna use increases these factors, too, and when used post-exercise, may have a synergistic effect to improve cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and neurological health.”

“Although scientists have identified other lifestyle behaviors that can help prevent the build-up of amyloid plaques by boosting the capacity for glymphatic clearance – such as exercise and adequate intake of omega-3 – the most important factor by far is a good night's sleep, especially deep sleep.”

“Sleep and the immune system are intrinsically linked. Sleep problems may arise because of medical or behavioral reasons, but modern life frequently dictates a work schedule late into the evening, disrupting our natural sleep/wake cycles.”

“When most people think about certain lifestyle factors that affect insulin sensitivity and blood glucose levels, they think about macronutrient composition, or calories, or fasting, or exercise (and lack of), but they don’t often think about sleep.”

“There is so much to say when we talk about the NRF2 pathway and isothiocyanates like sulforaphane that we had to pack it into 47 minutes and break it into a few key sections. Key sections: For a more in-depth breakdown click the timeline link at the top of this page!”

“Human trials suggest that alpha-lipoic acid can modestly improve selected lipid measures. A dose-response meta-analysis of 12 studies found reductions in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides across doses from 300 to 1,200 milligrams per day.”

“Similarly, the timing of eating and exercise, especially in elite athletes, has not been studied and may, in fact, require self-experimentation by the athletes as they find the perfect interval of fasting to support their optimal performance.”

“Protein before or after exercise can support adaptation, while total daily intake matters most. Third, distribute protein across three or four meals, with older adults often needing 20–30 grams or more per meal, while there is no small hard ceiling.”

“In this video, Dr. Rhonda Patrick interviews Dr. Terry Wahls about how she reversed her secondary-progressive multiple sclerosis with a micronutrient-dense diet and Paleo principles.”
