Listen nowVitamin D is often discussed in relation to muscle health, but whether it changes the muscle's response to exercise and protein intake has remained largely unclear. In a new study, researchers tested whether vitamin D supplementation could amplify that response in healthy adults. The final analysis of the trial included 17 recreationally active adults who took either 3,000 IU of vitamin D3 per day or a placebo for 12 weeks. Before and after the supplementation period, participants came to the lab after an overnight fast, completed single-leg resistance exercise, and drank about 22 grams of wh... exercise muscle protein vitamin d

Listen now[toc position='left'] Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) have quietly taken over modern diets, making up nearly 60% of the average American's daily intake. Unlike whole or minimally processed foods, UPFs are industrial formulations packed with additives, artificial ingredients, and refined sugars and fats designed to enhance taste and shelf life—but at a significant cost to health. These foods don't just contribute to obesity and metabolic disorders; emerging research shows they actively rewire the brain, altering decision-making, impulse control, and reward processing in ways that drive overeating.... brain insulin resistance fatty liver nutrition obesity metabolism diabetes micronutrients insulin metabolic syndrome
Read more[toc position='right'] When we engage in high-intensity exercise, our muscles become mini biochemical laboratories (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXl1evV_spo), synthesizing compounds like lactate and myokines that circulate throughout the body and travel to our organs, where they exert a variety of signaling effects, including the synthesis of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) (https://bdnfprotocols.com/)in the brain. Some of these molecules have anti-cancer properties. Vigorous exercise is also the most potent way to increase your VO2 max, also known as cardiorespiratory fitness, wh... exercise brain bdnf aerobic cardiovascular mortality aging exercise snacks

Listen nowHey, guys! Recently I went to Helsinki, Finland and while there I presented on sauna use and cold stress and talked about how these modalities may be a way to achieve an increase in net resilience and how this can pour into many different areas: possibly increased longevity and mood... and if we look at the molecular evidence, maybe neurodegenerative diseases as well. This turned out to be a little prescient, because just a few weeks later a study came out showing that, in fact, increased sauna use is associated with a 65% reduction in risk of Alzheimer's disease and dementia. I hope that you ...
