“Although the findings of a large meta-analysis published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine indicated that there was no evidence to support the notion that consumption of saturated fat increased the risk of heart disease, the studies on which their conclusions were based were primarily observational.”

“Compared with one sauna session per week, four to seven weekly sessions were associated with 66% lower dementia hazard and 65% lower Alzheimer's disease hazard, showing a strong dose-related pattern in this population. A second Finnish cohort followed 13,994 men and women.”

“In this Knowledge Project excerpt, Dr. Rhonda Patrick distinguishes Finnish sauna protocols near 174–175°F from lower-temperature infrared sauna, which may require longer exposure. Dose depends on temperature, humidity, duration, acclimation, hydration, and health.”

“There is so much to say when we talk about the NRF2 pathway and isothiocyanates like sulforaphane that we had to pack it into 47 minutes and break it into a few key sections. Key sections: For a more in-depth breakdown click the timeline link at the top of this page!”

“A systematic review and meta-analysis of 44 randomized trials found that berberine improved several surrogate measures, including inflammatory biomarkers, stroke-related neurological deficit scores, and carotid intima-media thickness.”

“In this video, Dr. Rhonda Patrick interviews Dr. Terry Wahls about how she reversed her secondary-progressive multiple sclerosis with a micronutrient-dense diet and Paleo principles.”

“Five grams of creatine per day increased total sleep duration on resistance-training days compared with placebo, while the groups did not differ in overall sleep quality. The result introduces sleep as a promising new area of creatine research.”

“A leaky gut, otherwise known as intestinal permeability, is a condition in which gaps form between the tight junctions of the endothelial cells that line the gut. These gaps allow pathogens like bacteria or endotoxins – toxins that are released when bacteria die – to leak through the intestinal wall and pass directly into the bloodstream, potentially triggering an acute inflammatory reaction.”
