Related Episodes for What Creatine Can and Cannot Do During Sleep Loss

“The stability of DNA methylation patterns - in terms of sample reliability - makes the use of epigenetic clock data an attractive tool in the hands of researchers investigating aging around the world.”

“Removing former drinkers from the non-drinker category reveals a different story: One study observed that the lowest risk for cardiovascular disease (i.e., ischemic heart disease) was right below one standard U.S. drink per week — men and women at this level of consumption had an ~18% lower risk compared to nondrinkers.”

“Dr. Huberman’s practical range is deliberately cautious: not drinking avoids the exposure, and lower weekly intake creates less burden than a drink every night or heavier episodes.”

“Vasopressin, a pituitary hormone that acts to promote the retention of water by the kidneys and increase blood pressure, is also a social bonding hormone in males — similar to oxytocin in females. Tim recounts his experiences taking vasopressin in college to boost his short term memory.”

“Sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate compound derived from broccoli sprouts and certain cruciferous vegetables, exerts a wide range of beneficial effects in humans. Some of these effects are mediated by increased glutathione, one of the body's most potent antioxidants, to promote brain health.”

“Dr. Rhonda Patrick spent many months researching and learning about the myriad factors that would influence her child's development, and she has continued to do so as her son has grown – and as new research has become available.”

“Rebuilding muscle relies on proper nutrition and exercise, but aging reduces the body's response to both. Extended periods of inactivity, such as post-surgery or during illness, can rapidly deplete muscle mass, especially in older people, potentially pushing them into a "catabolic crisis."”

“Scientists are exploring a wide range of cutting-edge therapies aimed at understanding and manipulating the complex processes underlying these hallmarks, including epigenetic aging clocks and pluripotent stem cells.”

“In part I of this two-part series on the future of aging research, we discussed the hallmarks of aging and the cutting-edge therapies aimed at understanding and manipulating the complex processes underlying these hallmarks, including epigenetic aging clocks and pluripotent stem cells.”

“Adequate, quality sleep is essential for the body's recovery and repair, promoting optimal physical and mental health. Getting a good night's sleep can be challenging, especially in our modern world, but we can take steps to overcome those challenges. In this Aliquot, we present a mashup of our best resources on sleep, featuring insights from Dr. Matthew Walker, Dr. Satchin Panda, and me.”
