“Not only is salmon roe a good source of DHA, it also provides protein, vitamins, minerals, and astaxanthin – an antioxidant compound that gives salmon its reddish or pinkish tint. In human studies, astaxanthin reduces biomarkers of oxidative stress.”

“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.”

“This is a video on how to plausibly increase the sulforaphane created from the glucoraphanin in your broccoli sprouts by up to 3.5-fold, based on the results of a 2004 Phytochemistry paper entitled "Heating decreases epithiospecifier protein activity and increases sulforaphane formation in broccoli."”

“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!”

“Human trials suggest that alpha-lipoic acid can modestly improve selected lipid measures. A dose-response meta-analysis of 12 studies found reductions in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides across doses from 300 to 1,200 milligrams per day.”

“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.”

“A national survey analysis estimated 2.6% severe deficiency, 22% moderate deficiency, and 40.9% insufficiency among US adults, although prevalence changes with the threshold used. These categories should remain distinct because insufficiency is not the same as clinical deficiency.”

“A 12-month randomized controlled trial found that vitamin D supplementation improved cognitive function, intelligence quotient scores, telomere length, and lowered oxidative stress markers in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (compared to placebo), suggesting that not only does vitamin D supplementation improve biomarkers of aging, but also functional outcomes.”

“Peak plasma flavan-3-ol metabolites after the banana smoothie were 84 percent lower than after the capsule, while the low-PPO berry smoothie produced levels similar to the capsule. PPO is released when plant tissue is cut, bruised, or blended and can react with selected polyphenols before they reach circulation.”
