“Mood improvements were noticeable as early as after the first whole body hyperthermia session, with these gains predicting longer-term outcomes, unlike initial CBT responses.

Dr. Rhonda Patrick explores melatonin's antioxidant properties, curcumin supplementation, antinutrients, and SARMs in her latest Q&A.

“Supplementing lutein & zeaxanthin improves visual performance and sleep and reduces eye strain, fatigue, and headache frequency. Increasing "screen time," the amount of time a person spends using electronic screens (e.g., mobile phones, tablets, computers, TVs), is a public health concern.”

“They found that compared to non-exercisers, gardeners were 42 percent less likely to experience sleep problems, and exercisers were 33 percent less likely. The effects of gardening on sleep were dose-dependent, with sleep problems decreasing as weekly gardening time increased.”

“Dr. Patrick recounts postpartum sleep disruption and her glucose response improving when she resumed hard cycling. Small controlled studies found that high-intensity intervals attenuated insulin resistance or glucose intolerance during experimental sleep loss.”

“Participants extended their overnight fast to 13 to 16 hours and consumed no calories for at least three hours before their usual sleep time. After about 7.5 weeks, nighttime diastolic blood-pressure dipping improved by approximately 3.5 percentage points, and nighttime heart-rate dipping also improved.”

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

“Alcohol can fragment sleep even when it initially makes falling asleep easier; a controlled challenge found lower sleep efficiency, less REM sleep, and worse next-day attention and speed.”

“Sleep restriction increased calorie intake, body weight, and visceral fat, showing how sleep and energy balance can interact. Menopause can also shift fat toward the abdomen as hormonal changes combine with age, activity, diet, sleep, and total fat gain.”
