“Heat shock proteins are robustly activated by heat. Both using the sauna and engaging in exercise that makes you sweat are great ways to kick on heat shock proteins.”

“A low protein diet (9% of total calories) caused changes in testicular epigenetics and males had offspring that were overweight with symptoms of type 2 diabetes and reduced activation of genes which regulate fat metabolism (mouse study).”

“The levels of a protein called VCAM1 increase in blood with age and it was found that blocking the action of this protein did not lead to these negative effects when the old blood was transplanted into young mice.”

“Adequate protein is needed for keratin, the main hair protein. Sugary diets may increase scalp oil and inflammation, while cruciferous vegetables and soy supply antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds that can reduce follicle stress.”

“High levels of the inflammatory biomarker C-Reactive Protein predict the effectiveness of antidepressant treatment. In patients with low inflammation, the treatment had no benefit over the placebo. This is new research from Dr. Charles Raison.”

“They found that exposure to the spike protein impaired blood-brain barrier function and integrity. Finally, using a tissue model that mimics the movement of fluid in the barrier, they found that the spike protein increased barrier permeability.”

“Findings from a new study demonstrate that sleep deprivation also increases blood levels of tau, a protein found in the brain. Tau is a microtubule-bound protein that forms the neurofibrillary "tau tangles" associated with Alzheimer's disease.”

“Adding a sugar-sweetened beverage to a protein-rich meal decreased fat use and diet-induced thermogenesis by more than 40% in people. The study involved participants that spent 24 hours in a metabolic chamber on two separate occasions.”

“Sleep is one of the most important determinants of brain health. Sleep is when the brain repairs itself and clears away buildup of aggregated proteins, cellular debris, and other harmful agents.”

“The study involved 117 adults with either prediabetes or type 2 diabetes and a body mass index (BMI) over 27.5—considered overweight or obese. Participants consumed an animal- or plant-based high-protein diet that provided 35% of their total calories for six months.”
