“Other hormetic responses to cold exposure include increased production of PGC1-alpha, a protein that promotes mitochondrial biogenesis, the production of new, healthy mitochondria, and the activation of brown fat – a phenomenon once thought to occur only in newborns, but now known to occur in adults, especially after cold exposure.”

“Perhaps the most clear-cut examples of cryotherapy’s beneficial effects are observed in the brain, where levels of the hormone and neurotransmitter norepinephrine – responsible for vigilance, attention, focus, and positive mood – increase markedly when the body is exposed to extreme cold.”

“If you have used a consumer genetic testing service like 23andMe or AncestryDNA and want to learn more about whether or not the data indicates your specific genotype on these SNPs, check out our free viral report here.”

“Creatine works by building tissue stores, so consistent daily intake matters more than taking it immediately before a specific workout. Dr. Patrick and Dr. Candow also discuss its value during aging, when preserving training quality and muscle becomes increasingly important for function and independence.”

“Although some evidence suggests that black, caffeinated coffee or tea may have little effect on the beneficial effects associated with time-restricted eating, experts in the field of circadian biology suggest a more conservative approach that permits coffee and tea only during the designated window of eating.”

“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.”

“In a two-year trial of 237 postmenopausal women, approximately 9 to 10 grams per day combined with resistance training and walking did not add a bone-density benefit, so its role is better framed around muscle and physical function.”

“In a crossover experiment with 12 healthy adults, six 40-second high-intensity cycling intervals increased circulating BDNF four to five times more than 90 minutes of light cycling. The BDNF response also tracked with the rise in circulating lactate.”

“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.”

“A larger randomized-trial meta-analysis also found modest average reductions in BMI, waist circumference, and body-fat percentage, although protocols and populations varied. These averages do not mean that HIIT alone guarantees fat loss.”
