“Levels of white blood cells (especially lymphocytes, neutrophils, and basophils) are increased in both trained and non-athletes after sauna use. While these findings are interesting, they are still preliminary and larger studies are needed to confirm.”

“There have been multiple studies that have now found psilocybin appears to have a positive effect on well-being and improve symptoms of depression possibly through its effects on the serotonin receptor.”

“Interestingly, the increased “munching” was associated with an increase in the levels of an endocannabinoid called 2-AG, which was about 33% higher in the sleep-deprived people.”

“The two types of bacteria that were elevated by the diet were Akkermansia muciniphila and Parabacteroides species. Interestingly, the presence of both were required to provide protection against seizures.”

“Perhaps some of the most interesting findings come from mechanistic studies, which have identified the molecular mechanisms that drive the improvements in mood that accompany exercise.”

“This PR is early for this particular study, because... again, similar to the BPA stuff posted a moment ago, it hasn't passed peer review yet. It'll be interesting to see where this goes, however.”

“Interestingly, researchers did not sequence the DNA of the bacteria that was transplanted but a reduction in butyrate-producing bacteria (which activate intestinal gluconeogenesis and butyrate supplementation can reverse insulin resistance in diet-induced obesity in mice) may partly explain.”

“But WHAT increases norepinephrine? Lots of things! Cryo & cold-water immersion (up to 5-fold) being among them! I just recently released a report that talks about how cold stress boosts this very interesting neurotransmitter and hormone known as norepinephrine.”

“"10-14 hours of fasting when we get up in the morning means that we have given our gut rest." - Dr. Satchin Panda". In addition to these important and very practical how-to tidbits, we dive into lots of interesting new territory as well, including...”

“The analysis pooled data from 23 studies comprising 606 participants and determined the mean difference of neuromuscular performance (jump performance and sprint times), subjective measures of fatigue, muscle soreness, and biochemical markers, following either cold water immersion or passive recovery performed no less than 24-hours post-exercise stressor.”
