“Cognitive enhancement is a hot topic, but the best ways to sharpen focus, boost motivation, and support brain health aren't always clear-cut. Stimulants like nicotine and caffeine offer immediate benefits but come with trade-offs—some minor, others riskier.”
“Although many supplement manufacturers do not take steps to preserve the integrity of their products and some have made misleading claims about their products' efficacy, a few reputable manufacturers produce quality supplements that have been used in clinical trials.”
“Air pollution leaves a biological fingerprint on our lungs, our blood vessels, and even our brains, eroding the body's defenses, triggering inflammation, weakening the blood-brain barrier, and accelerating cognitive decline.”
“The different stages of sleep provide crucial periods during which the body recalibrates to promote both mental and physical well-being. In this clip, Dr. Matthew Walker describes how the different stages of sleep influence emotional and cardiovascular health.”
“In this Aliquot, I'm joined by exercise-oncology researcher Dr. Kerry Courneya to identify and prioritize the lifestyle behaviors that account for much of the difference in cancer risk and have the greatest long-term impact.”
“Jet lag often shows up as fatigue after a long flight, reflecting a mismatch between your internal clock and the external world. In this Aliquot, joined by Drs. Michael Grandner and Darren Candow, I explain how jet lag works, which signals are most important for resetting your clock, and how to reduce jet lag before travel and recover more quickly after arrival.”
“These changes increase infection risk, weaken vaccine responses, and reduce early cancer surveillance. Yet immune aging is not fixed. Movement, sleep, stress regulation, temperature exposure, and nutrition shape immune cell balance and inflammatory activity over time.”
“In this Aliquot, Drs. Satchin Panda, Andrew Huberman, Layne Norton, Brad Schoenfeld, Martin Gibala, and I examine how circadian biology, training intensity, and life schedule shape exercise timing. We also explore what that means for deciding when to train.”
“Physical activity, sleep, light exposure, heat, and certain nutrients may all affect systems involved in mood regulation, including inflammation, circadian rhythms, neuroplasticity, and brain energy metabolism. In this Aliquot, Drs.”
“The timing of eating and exercise, especially in elite athletes, hasn't been studied and may, in fact, require self-experimentation by the athletes to identify the perfect interval of fasting to support their optimal performance.”
