“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“In a placebo-controlled study of eight healthy adults, adrenaline infusion lowered plasma magnesium, and levels had not recovered one hour later. Investigators proposed a shift into cells after beta-adrenergic stimulation; the study did not measure cortisol, urinary loss, total-body depletion, or clinical deficiency.”

“Randomized-trial meta-analysis suggests that properly formulated zinc acetate or zinc gluconate lozenges providing more than 75 milligrams of elemental zinc per day can shorten common-cold duration when started early.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick, Dr. Darya Rose, and Kevin Rose discuss turmeric's ability to increase detoxification enzymes through hormesis.

“Since then, countless studies have tested Pauling's theories about vitamin C, colds, and cancer (and many others), and a substantial body of evidence has emerged, identifying critical roles for vitamin C in immune function, cardiovascular and respiratory health, cognitive development and preservation, and many other aspects of human health.”

“DNA-methylation clocks use patterns in blood or other tissues to estimate aspects of biological aging. In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's presentation at Natural Products Expo West, she discusses how omega-3 fatty acids may influence these research biomarkers.”

“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.”

“Longer endurance aerobic exercise seems to be most effective at producing higher levels of FGF21, coinciding with anecdotes you might have heard from runners who have successfully used exercise in this sort of way. Relevant publications Flippo, Kyle H., et al.”
