“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.”

“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.”

“Earlier long-term research in older male physicians found no cognitive benefit, and the main COSMOS trial did not significantly reduce invasive cancer, cardiovascular events, or mortality over a median of 3.6 years.”
