Dr. Rhonda Patrick answers audience questions on various health, nutrition, and science topics in this Q&A session.

“00:15:00 - Explanation of what receptor down-regulation is and why it adds enormous complexity to understanding the effects of drugs, like SSRIs. 00:16:27 - Discussion of "Serotonin Syndrome.". 00:17:22 - Most serotonin is actually made in the gut, not the brain.”

“Recent data from animal studies indicate that time-restricted feeding – even in overweight animals eating a poor diet – has beneficial effects on metabolic health. Studies investigating whether the same benefits will be observed in a real-world setting in humans are lacking, however.”

“Choline is particularly important during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but some evidence suggests that choline supplementation could carry some risks. In this Aliquot, I talk about the science surrounding choline.”

“Time-restricted eating, which involves taking in food within a small window of time during the day and fasting for the remainder, can improve certain biomarkers of health – even without weight loss – to improve overall health. In Part I of this two-part segment, Drs.”

“Researchers have observed synergism between the ketogenic diet and hyperbaric oxygen against tumor cells. Moreover, Dr. D'Agostino suggests that ketosis stimulates the immune system, increasing its ability to detect cancer cells.”

“A larger randomized-trial meta-analysis also found modest average reductions in BMI, waist circumference, and body-fat percentage, although protocols and populations varied. These averages do not mean that HIIT alone guarantees fat loss.”

“While there are no human clinical studies evaluating the effectiveness of melatonin for COVID-19, melatonin has been shown to prevent acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome due to viral infection in animal studies.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick explores iodine supplementation, choline & TMAO, curcumin safety, and red yeast rice in her latest Q&A.

“Standard metabolic screening still relies on validated laboratory measures such as A1c, fasting plasma glucose, or a two-hour glucose value after a standardized oral glucose tolerance test. Skin changes or unexpected glucose patterns can therefore be useful prompts for a clinical evaluation.”
