“Randomized trials and a meta-analysis show that at least three grams of oat beta-glucan per day can lower LDL by about five to seven percent, with high-molecular-weight products producing the most consistent effects.”

The video serves as a companion to our 15-page Sprouting Guide (https://www.foundmyfitness.com/sprouting) + Q&A with Dr. Jed Fahey (https://www.foundmyfitness.com/episodes/jed-fahey-q-a) – an illustrated manual to the basics of sprouting that includes a brief summary of the science of sulforaphane plus insights from one of the top researchers in the field of chemoprotection.

“In this FoundMyFitness Premium Q&A preview, Dr. Rhonda Patrick reviews common contributors to fragmented sleep, including insomnia, sleep apnea, nocturia, psychological stress, irregular schedules, caffeine, alcohol, light, noise, temperature, and late eating.”

“Family-controlled research provides another view. A Swedish cohort of 2.48 million children found small associations in conventional models, but the estimates moved to the null when siblings with different prenatal exposure were compared.”

“There's a lot of exciting research right now into aging and maximum lifespan, but scientists have really just scratched the surface of the fascinating topic of how to live longer, healthier lives. Relevant Publications Rootzén, Holger, and Dmitrii Zholud.”

“Dr. van Loon sees useful research questions in skin, joints, and recovery after orthopedic surgery, but he keeps those possibilities separate from established muscle-building effects.”

“Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses how conditioning the body to heat stress through sauna use, called "hyperthermic conditioning" may cause adaptations that increase athletic endurance (by increasing plasma volume and blood flow to heart and muscles) and potentially even muscle mass. She also discusses the profound effects of hyperthermic conditioning on the brain including cognitive function.”

“Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) plays a role during childhood for growth and continues later in life to have anabolic and neurotrophic effects. IGF-1 is also implicated in contributing to aging and enhancing the growth of cancer after it has been initiated.”

“Circulating LPS can also bind to lipoproteins, facilitating their absorption in the liver during LDL recycling, effectively removing LPS from circulation and lowering systemic inflammation – a phenomenon demonstrated mechanistically with statins that increase lipoprotein recycling by increasing LDL receptors.”

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.
