“The surprising role of the immune system The immune system plays a surprising role in regulating sleep through somnogenic cytokines, such as immune factors IL-1B and TNF-alpha, released in response to heat stress and exercise.”

“Scientists find that visceral fat, a type of adipose tissue that produces high levels of inflammatory signals known as adipokines, impair learning and memory in mice by setting off an inflammatory cascade mediated by the release of IL-1 beta, which crosses the blood-brain barrier leading to chronic activation of microglia.”

“Moderate activity is 3–6 METs. Vigorous activity is 6 or more METs. The 1:2 rule came about from estimates of energy expenditure: vigorous activity roughly doubles the oxygen consumption/energy cost of moderate activity, so it's assumed that half the time spent would be "equivalent" from a health perspective.”

“Omega-6 fatty acids are found in vegetable oils and nuts, whereas omega-3 fatty acids are primarily found in fatty fish. Although older studies showed that the ratio of omega-6s to omega-3s in blood were cause for concern, Dr. Harris explains that those concerns are likely unfounded.”

“Deficient participants who started supplementation had 2.6-year lower age acceleration and 1.3-year lower Horvath DNAm age acceleration compared with participants who remained deficient and untreated.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses silicone safety, grounding, pentadecanoic acid, and the potential benefits of olive leaf extract and peptides.

Dr. Rhonda Patrick explores blood tests to track health, statin alternatives, mitochondrial supplements, and vitamin B12 and autism risk in her latest Q&A.

“He hypothesizes that stress makes one more prone to suffer an injury and thus the immune system gets stimulated during times of stress. In this clip, Dr. Charles Raison describes how the body has evolved to employ some of the same physiological mechanisms in depression and physical illnesses.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses joint aging prevention, avoiding heavy metals in protein, reducing migraines, nicotinamide for skin, and minimizing jet lag.

“CRP is a protein that increases in the blood with inflammation and infection. The authors of the study developed a wearable, watch-like device that monitored levels of IL-1 beta and CRP in the sweat of 20 healthy adults (18 to 65 years old) over a period of up to 30 hours.”
