“Large studies provide useful cardiovascular context for appropriately selected men with hypogonadism. An individual-participant meta-analysis found no evidence that testosterone increased short-to-medium-term cardiovascular risk, although longer-term safety data were limited.”

“Activity timing can add another benefit. A meta-analysis of eight crossover trials found that exercise after eating reduced post-meal glucose excursions more than exercise before eating or inactivity, with earlier post-meal activity generally producing a larger effect.”

“The authors of the meta-analysis drew on data from seven placebo-controlled zinc lozenge trials involving 575 children and adults. The doses used in the studies ranged from 80 to 207 milligrams per day, using zinc gluconate (four trials) and zinc acetate (three trials).”

“A meta-analysis of eight randomized trials and 357 people with metabolic disorders reported small average reductions in triglycerides and total cholesterol, with no clear pooled reduction in LDL cholesterol and some variation across studies.”

“A component network meta-analysis of 241 trials involving 31,452 adults also identified stimulus control as one of the beneficial components of CBT-I. It was associated with improved subjective sleep quality, sleep efficiency, and sleep latency.”

“In this clip from his FoundMyFitness interview with Dr. Rhonda Patrick, Dr. Luc van Loon explains that protein requirements adapt to habitual high or low intake, but the size and clinical meaning of that adaptation remain uncertain.”

“Human studies provide early, context-dependent signals. Meta-analytic evidence suggests that glutamine can improve selected intestinal-permeability measures in some populations, although results vary by dose, duration, and health status.”

“A meta-analysis of over 30 studies conducted in China finds that people 50 years old and older are around 2.5x more likely to progress to a severe case of COVID-19, males had 1.3x higher risk, smoking increased risk 1-2x, and pre-existing conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease increased risk by 2-3x.”

“The authors present data from epidemiological studies and meta-analyses supporting the inverse relationship between plant-derived dietary nitrates, blood pressure regulation, and cardiovascular health, advocating for nuanced dietary guidelines that consider the nitrate source.”

“A systematic review links these mechanisms with cognitive dysfunction and Alzheimer-related pathology, while a meta-analysis of 15 cohort studies found higher risk of cognitive impairment or dementia among people with sleep-disordered breathing.”
