“In this clip, Dr. Ruth Patterson describes how eating following the body's circadian clock, eating during the day and fasting at night, enables the body to focus on repair rather than on the digestion of food.”

“Moreover, taking mega doses (i.e. 400 IU/day) of alpha tocopherol has the unintended side-effect of actually depleting tissue levels of another important form of vitamin E that plays an anti-inflammatory role, known as gamma tocopherol.”

“Her practical message is to reduce the frequency and size of large glucose exposures. Foods with intact fiber, protein, and minimally processed carbohydrates digest more slowly than refined added sugar, while regular exercise gives skeletal muscle a large destination for circulating glucose.”

In this clip, Dr. Griffiths talks about the effect of dose on psilocybin mystical experiences and ‘bad trips’.

“In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on Modern Wisdom, she explains how a large post-meal glucose rise and fall can contribute to the sluggish feeling people call brain fog. Food order offers one practical lever.”

“Sure, those dates on the calendar pass at the same rate for everybody, but some people appear to age slower (or faster) than others – with vastly different age-related physical changes and disease risks.”

“Patients assigned to supervised exercise during neoadjuvant chemoradiation, followed by continued activity before surgery, were more likely to achieve a complete or near-complete pathological response than those receiving usual care.”

“Dr. Patrick describes increased shear as a possible way vigorous exercise can damage fragile circulating tumor cells; this is a proposed mechanism, not proof that a workout eliminates metastasis or treats an established tumor.”

“Dr. Patrick also describes a proposed anti-metastatic mechanism: faster blood flow during vigorous exercise increases shear forces on circulating tumor cells, the cells that have left a primary tumor and entered the bloodstream.”

“Controlled human studies support acute brain-related responses to high-intensity exercise. Six short all-out cycling intervals improved selected learning and executive measures while increasing circulating BDNF, IGF-1, and VEGF; lactate tracked several of these changes.”
