“A meta-analysis of 49 studies involving 1,863 adults found that protein supplementation during prolonged resistance training produced additional gains in one-repetition maximum strength, fat-free mass, and muscle size compared with training alone.”

“In eight young men, seven days of 1,000 milligrams of NR per day changed selected muscle NAD metabolites but did not alter substrate use, mitochondrial respiration, or signaling involved in adaptation to one hour of endurance exercise.”

“In a randomized factorial design, participants were assigned to one gram per day of algae-derived omega-3 or placebo, 2,000 IU of vitamin D3 or placebo, and a 30-minute home strength program three times weekly or a flexibility control.”

“It was associated with improved subjective sleep quality, sleep efficiency, and sleep latency. In practice, separating scrolling, worrying, and other wakeful activities from the bed reduces opportunities to rehearse wakefulness there, while getting up briefly removes the effort to force sleep.”

“In later randomized trials, urolithin A improved some laboratory measures of muscle endurance or hamstring strength, but it did not significantly improve key primary outcomes such as six-minute walk distance, muscle ATP production, or peak power.”

“A separate 46-year study of 5,107 middle-aged men linked each 1 milliliter per kilogram per minute increase in estimated VO2 max with about 45 additional days of life expectancy. High-intensity intervals are one practical way to improve VO2 max.”

“There's a lot of exciting research right now into aging and maximum lifespan, but scientists have really just scratched the surface of the fascinating topic of how to live longer, healthier lives. Relevant Publications Rootzén, Holger, and Dmitrii Zholud.”

“Dr. Patrick describes strategies you can apply immediately to enhance cellular health, protect the nervous system, elevate mood, reduce inflammation, promote muscle and bone function, and help prevent chronic disease.”

“In this talk, we’ll be exploring the intersection between genetics, nutrition, and environment: how your diet, micronutrients, exercise, heat stress, and sleep can change the expression of your genes and how this has profound effects on the way your body functions and ages.”

“Fasting can deplete the body's stores of electrolytes, especially during prolonged fasts or during periods of exercise when electrolytes can be lost during sweat. Because electrolytes are non-calories, replenishment does not appear to alter circadian rhythms.”
