“Symptoms of peripheral arterial disease In a double-blind, randomized clinical trial involving 44 adults with peripheral artery disease (PAD), participants who drank a cocoa beverage daily for six months showed marked improvement in their walking performance…”

“Human studies suggest that NR can affect redox biology and selected performance measures differently across populations. In a double-blind crossover study of 12 young and 12 older men, one acute dose raised blood NADH and NADPH in both groups.”

“However, this may not be a straight forward solution due to the many factors involved. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses whether timing metformin administration apart from exercise may be a strategy to overcome some of its adverse effects.”

“Muscle mass plays an essential role in athletic performance, physical stability, and longevity. Diets of all types can result in the loss of fat and water, but also lean muscle mass.”

“An overnight fast gradually increases fatty-acid use and ketone production, while ketone esters and salts can raise circulating beta-hydroxybutyrate more rapidly. A large analysis found similar short-term cognitive performance in healthy adults whether they were fasted or fed.”

“Research has shown that when students were deprived of sleep and then tasked with memorizing new information, the overall performance of the task decreased by 40 percent. In this clip, Dr. Matthew Walker describes the role that sleep plays in learning and new memory formation.”

“Regular vigorous activity and strength training help preserve these fast-twitch fibers, which not only support performance but also reduce the risk of catastrophic events (like falls) that often drive disability and mortality in older adults.”

“Fasted aerobic exercise increases fat oxidation during the workout, while pre-exercise feeding can support prolonged performance. The practical foundation is a sustainable eating pattern, aerobic and resistance exercise, adequate protein, sufficient sleep, and enough energy to protect reproductive, bone, and training health.”

“Circadian rhythms modulate a wide array of physiological processes, including the body’s production of hormones that regulate sleep, hunger, metabolism, and others, ultimately influencing body weight, performance, and susceptibility to disease.”
