“Stay hydrated and supplement with electrolytes (sodium, potassium, and magnesium) to counterbalance alcohol’s diuretic effect and the micronutrient excretion that happens when you drink. Do not mix melatonin and alcohol — together they have a potent sedating effect.”

“Breaking the fast typically occurs early in the morning, coinciding with the human body's highest insulin response. Consequently, people who break their fast later, such as midday, might not get the same metabolic benefits associated with time-restricted eating as someone who breaks their faster earlier.”

“Imagine a drug that improves sleep, reduces stress, sharpens focus, and boosts mood—without cost or side effects. That "drug" is light. Natural light is more than just illumination; it's a potent regulator of our body's internal clock, driving critical processes like hormone release and sleep-wake cycles.”

“Jet lag often shows up as fatigue after a long flight, reflecting a mismatch between your internal clock and the external world. In this Aliquot, joined by Drs. Michael Grandner and Darren Candow, I explain how jet lag works, which signals are most important for resetting your clock, and how to reduce jet lag before travel and recover more quickly after arrival.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick explores collagen peptides, high-dose niacin and vitamin B6, avoiding nano- and microplastics in her latest Q&A.

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses joint aging prevention, avoiding heavy metals in protein, reducing migraines, nicotinamide for skin, and minimizing jet lag.

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses fragmented sleep, lipid biomarkers including ApoB and LP(a), coffee makers and bean quality, and choline supplementation.

“In this talk, we’ll be exploring the intersection between genetics, nutrition, and environment: how your diet, micronutrients, exercise, heat stress, and sleep can change the expression of your genes and how this has profound effects on the way your body functions and ages.”

“Small controlled trials of early time-restricted eating, which included breakfast and moved dinner earlier rather than testing breakfast skipping, found improved insulin sensitivity in eight men with prediabetes and lower 24-hour glucose in 11 adults with overweight.”

“A second randomized trial found that a single vitamin D3 dose taken with food increased vitamin D status, with a larger rise when the meal contained at least 15 grams of fat. These findings support taking vitamin D with a meal that contains some fat.”
