“Bottled water can contain very small plastic particles. Using stimulated Raman scattering microscopy, researchers identified roughly 240,000 detectable plastic particles per liter on average across three popular bottled-water brands, most of them nanoplastics.”
Clip
“Rumination, the practice of dwelling on external stressors to excess, can set in motion a cascade of hormonal and physiological responses that harm mental and physical health. Meditation has been shown to reduce rumination and its negative effects, however, and influences the gene expression of as many as 500 genes, many of which are in the brain.”
Clip
“Gene polymorphisms, small changes in an organism's DNA sequence, can affect the absorption and metabolism of nutrients, including vitamins and minerals. A polymorphism in the MTHFR gene that decreases enzyme activity leads to inefficient folate metabolism.”
Episode
“More than a century of research has demonstrated that nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an indispensable mediator of vital metabolic and physiological processes, including energy production, DNA synthesis and repair, and regulation of gene expression – across multiple species.”
Episode
“A few examples of genes with common polymorphism discussed are MTHFR and folate, NBPF3 and vitamin B6, FUT2 and vitamin B12, BCMO1 and beta-carotene, FADS2 and omega-3 fatty acids, CYP2R1 and vitamin D, PEMT and choline as well as APOE4 and FOXO3.”
Clip
“In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on The Tim Ferriss Show, she and Tim Ferriss identify common sources of microplastic exposure, including some tea bags, disposable hot-drink cups, bottled beverages, and chewing gum.”
Clip
“Field intervention studies support the connection between ventilation and sleep. In student bedrooms, lower overnight carbon dioxide was associated with better objectively measured sleep quality, less next-day sleepiness, and better performance on a logical-thinking test.”
