“In this Aliquot, cardiologist Ben Levine, nutritional scientist and champion powerlifter Layne Norton, and I discuss the importance of recovery, how best to approach it, and some surprising, often overlooked aspects of this important part of fitness.”
“Sodium keeps our hearts beating, our muscles moving, and our nerves firing—but it's also one of the most debated nutrients in health. While sodium is essential for survival, too much or too little can tip the scales toward problems like high blood pressure or fatigue.”
“Some studies suggest cheese may lower the risk of dementia and heart disease, despite its saturated fat content—raising questions about the effects of food structure, fermentation, and individual differences in metabolism.”
“In this Aliquot, I explain exactly what homocysteine is, how it impacts both cardiovascular and brain health, and how simple nutritional strategies—like supplementing with vitamins B6, B12, and methylfolate—can help bring levels down, supporting healthy aging and sharper cognitive function.”
“From THC, CBD, alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine to melatonin, magnesium, glycine, and calming botanicals, these compounds can either support restorative sleep or subtly hijack it, changing REM, deep sleep, and circadian timing in ways we often do not feel until the next day.”
“In this Aliquot, sleep scientist Dr. Michael Grandner explains why sleep apnea is so often missed, how these nightly breathing disturbances affect the body, and which treatments can meaningfully improve sleep and long-term health.”
“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.”
“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, I explain why visceral fat behaves so differently from other fat, how it drives insulin resistance and chronic disease, and what research shows about the most effective ways to reduce it.”
“A more useful approach is to focus on what you can do to reduce its effects. In this Aliquot, Dr. Kelly Starrett explains why standing more is not enough, how to build movement into your workday, and why it matters for long-term mobility.”
