“Dr. Patrick takes 10 grams daily with both muscle and brain energy in mind. Early research suggests that higher acute doses may support selected cognitive tasks during severe sleep deprivation, although the dose needed for routine brain benefits remains an open question.”

“An often-overlooked area of human reproduction is the effect of a father's health on their offspring. A growing body of evidence suggests that paternal obesity, in particular, can have far-reaching effects across generations through epigenetic changes passed via sperm DNA.”

“Animal models demonstrate that intermittent fasting is generally beneficial for maintaining muscle mass, but in some disease states, such as ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease, it can be detrimental.”

“Exercise stresses the entire body – the heart, lungs, bones, muscles, and even the brain. The body responds by inducing a wide range of adaptations that increase its ability to cope with the stressor.”

“Higher serum BDNF was associated with the volume change, consistent with a role for exercise-related signaling in brain plasticity. Together, brief vigorous bouts and sustained aerobic training offer complementary ways to support health across different schedules and fitness levels.”

“In this FoundMyFitness interview clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick asks Dr. Stuart Phillips how creatine monohydrate fits into muscle and brain health. Dr. Phillips describes it as a well-studied supplement with modest but durable effects, a long safety record in healthy adults, and a growing role in healthy-aging conversations.”

“Whole-body hyperthermia – a different temperature modality currently being investigated for depression. Episodes and clips How Cryotherapy Affects the Brain, the Immune System, Metabolism, and Athletic Performance – an audio-only podcast discussing some of the benefits of cold exposure.”

“Dr. Patrick explains that omega-3 fatty acids may help preserve muscle during periods of immobilization, illness, or injury, while Brady Holmer describes creatine as a practical daily tool for training capacity, strength, and recovery.”

“Most infant formulas don't contain MFGMs, but evidence suggests that the bovine form of the MFGM exerts similar beneficial effects on human infants when included in infant formula. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick describes the structure and function of milk fat globule membranes in breast milk.”

“The Omega-3 Index measures the quantity of EPA + DHA as a percentage of total fatty acids in the red blood cell membrane. In this clip, Dr. Bill Harris discusses the importance of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA in the developing brain.”
