“Sulforaphane activates NRF2-regulated cellular defense pathways. In a randomized crossover trial of 60 adults, eating 85 grams of raw watercress daily for eight weeks reduced basal lymphocyte DNA damage by 17% and oxidative purine DNA damage by 23.9%.”

“In the prospective Framingham Offspring Study, people in the highest red-blood-cell DHA group had approximately 49 percent lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease than those in the lowest group.”

“During sauna use, heart rate, and blood pressure rise, returning to below baseline levels after the session. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick describes how the physiological effects observed during sauna use are comparable to those that occur during physical exercise.”

“Among 2,315 middle-aged men followed for a median of 20.7 years, using a sauna four to seven times per week was associated with lower sudden cardiac death, cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality than using one weekly session.”

“Nearly half of all adults in the United States have high blood pressure, defined as having a systolic pressure of 130 mmHg or higher or a diastolic pressure of 80 mmHg or higher. Maintaining early healthy blood pressure is critical to ensuring the proper functioning of blood vessels in the brain and blood-brain barrier integrity.”

“Aerobic exercise training also reduces resting heart rate and blood pressure, while increasing heart rate variability, a measure of variation in time between heart beats. Higher heart rate variability indicates adaptation to stress (i.e, exercise training) by the parasympathetic nervous system.”

Many of the anabolic effects of growth hormone are thought to be mediated by insulin-like growth factor-1, or IGF-1 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18500379), which is synthesized primarily in the liver but also in skeletal muscle in response to growth hormone.

“Few topics come up in their discussion where Dr. Fahey doesn't have an anecdote about a study he was involved in, or, in some cases, "tribal knowledge" that may not even be published but is nonetheless interesting and an important part of the story that is unique to his particular vantage point.”

“The average LDL in the population is 115-120 milligrams per deciliter. LDL greater than 190 are very high risk and likely have a genetic abnormality. In almost all cases statin therapy is recommended. He also warns against conflating biomarkers for risk as the target for therapy.”

“Dr. Patrick recommends bounded quality checks such as GMP manufacturing and independent testing; she notes that some tested products were below their stated heavy-metal limits, not that lion’s mane products are uniformly contaminated.”
