Search results for melatonin

“In this FoundMyFitness interview clip with Dr. Rhonda Patrick, Dr. Layne Norton places creatine monohydrate in his highest evidence tier because it supports repeated high-intensity performance, strength, and gains in lean mass.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses child nutrition, osteoporosis, cholesterol-lowering supplements, her skincare routine, and fasting versus prioritizing protein.

“When a person does not get enough sleep, their pancreatic beta cells become less sensitive to glucose signaling, reducing the amount of insulin produced by the pancreas. This, in turn, impairs glucose uptake, resulting in hyperglycemia, a hallmark of diabetes.”

“A systematic review and meta-analysis found no evidence that one time of day produces universally better improvements in health or performance, although gains can be larger when the time of training matches the time of testing.”

“In this member Q&A clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick says she does not use a nightly sleep-supplement stack. She previously used melatonin for night terrors but stopped when she did not notice a meaningful difference.”

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

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses supplement timing, exercise timing, supplements in older adults, folic acid vs. folate, and hydrogen-rich water.

“In the modern world, there is an evolutionary mismatch concerning light exposure. Many people are indoors during the daytime where they are not exposed to bright light, while artificial lighting allows light exposure during the night.”

“A single 0.35-gram-per-kilogram dose of creatine monohydrate, equal to 24.5 grams for a 70-kilogram adult, reduced fatigue and improved word memory and processing speed on selected tasks versus placebo. It also changed brain-energy measures.”

“Perhaps the most clear-cut examples of cryotherapy’s beneficial effects are observed in the brain, where levels of the hormone and neurotransmitter norepinephrine – responsible for vigilance, attention, focus, and positive mood – increase markedly when the body is exposed to extreme cold.”
