“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.”

“When produced during exercise (especially high intensity workouts like cycling, which shifts metabolism toward glycolysis to more quickly meet the high energetic demands), lactate switches on more than 600 genes involved in muscle adaptation, stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis – the process of making new mitochondria – and promotes protein synthesis, which is essential for muscle growth.”

“The body has elegant mechanisms that allow it to utilize non-carbohydrate substrates to generate glucose. Gluconeogenesis is a metabolic pathway in which the liver produces glucose from non-carbohydrate substrates including glucogenic amino acids (from protein) and glycerol (from lipids).”

“Dr. Patrick then prioritizes lower-glycemic-load, less-refined foods and adequate fiber. Early time-restricted eating can help some people reduce calories and may influence selected metabolic markers, but it is not required and must still preserve protein and diet quality.”

“For people seeking better-supported ways to improve inflammatory health, she points to regular exercise, marine omega-3 intake, and sulforaphane-rich foods as practical areas with a larger human evidence base.”

“Dr. Rhonda Patrick talks at SF Nerd Nite about transgenerational effects of caloric restriction on longevity, B-vitamins silencing bad genes, cognitive stimulation reversing neurodegenerative disease, exercise increases neurogenesis, and ways in which vitamin D might influence aging.”

“In this member Q&A clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick shares four practices she uses or finds compelling for healthy aging: sauna, sulforaphane-rich foods or supplements, time-restricted eating, and high-intensity interval training.”

“Translating sleep insights into practical steps These findings highlight the possibility of using heat therapy or vigorous exercise to influence slow-wave sleep, drawing on the interplay between body temperature regulation, immunity, physical activity, and hormones.”

“In a randomized crossover study of 18 young men with overweight or obesity, ten three-minute walking or squat breaks spread across 8.5 hours reduced post-meal glucose exposure more than uninterrupted sitting or one continuous 30-minute walk.”

“A systematic review found no overall improvement in mood after cold-water immersion, while a small randomized trial found that repeated whole-body cryotherapy improved depression scores when added to standard pharmacological treatment.”
