“A key component in these processes is the lactate shuttle – a metabolic pathway that facilitates the movement of lactate between tissues so it can be used as an energy source, effectively recycling it and supporting sustained exercise performance.”

“Dr. van Loon explains that digestion releases amino acids and small peptides into circulation, including glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline. Their appearance in blood confirms absorption, but tissue delivery and biological action still need to be measured directly.”

“Exercise promotes the release of insulin-like growth factor-1 and its downstream targets, growth hormone and brain-derived neurotrophic factor, to drive muscle and neuron growth. Sauna use increases these factors, too, and when used post-exercise, may have a synergistic effect to improve cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and neurological health.”

“In a small trial of 30 people with stable heart failure, 1,000 milligrams twice daily approximately doubled whole-blood NAD and appeared tolerable while supporting further study rather than proving treatment benefit.”

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

“Time-restricted eating can help some people reduce eating opportunities, but controlled trials have not found a consistent visceral-fat advantage over matched dietary counseling or calorie restriction.”

“She then describes sulforaphane and magnesium as pathway-focused choices. Sulforaphane activates NRF2-regulated antioxidant and phase 2 detoxification enzymes, while magnesium supports hundreds of enzymatic reactions, including energy metabolism and DNA repair.”

“This disorder causes inflammation in the brain and other tissues driving chronic conditions such as Alzheimer's and cardiovascular diseases. In this Aliquot, we discuss some of the dietary and lifestyle factors that may prevent leaky gut.”

“In turn, cellular levels of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD+, a coenzyme that participates in the production of cellular energy, rise, switching on energy-generating pathways and activating enzymes such as sirtuins.”
