Search results for mitochondria

“High-fat, high-carbohydrate, and high-protein meals appear to be equally effective at slowing gastric emptying. Being in the fed state elevates levels of ADH and increases the body's ability to transport reducing equivalents (such as NADH) into the mitochondria.”

“BFR training protocols include a frequency of 2-3 times per week, occlusion pressure of 40-80% depending on the limb, using 2 exercises per muscle group, repetition schemes, wear times of 10-20 minutes, loads of 20-50% of 1 rep max, and a tempo of 1-2 seconds for both concentric and eccentric.”

“In this Aliquot, I walk through how that plays out in humans, where the strongest evidence shows up, and where it doesn't, with NAD researcher Dr. Charles Brenner—and why I'm taking it now after being skeptical.”

“Second, it supports steroidogenesis, the body's process of producing testosterone within the testes, by enhancing cholesterol transport into mitochondria—where it's converted into testosterone. Some evidence also suggests it may have mild selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) activity.”

“The timing of eating and exercise, especially in elite athletes, hasn't been studied and may, in fact, require self-experimentation by the athletes to identify the perfect interval of fasting to support their optimal performance.”

“Hormesis is a compensatory defense response to a stressor that conditions the body against future stressors. Cold exposure, a powerful hormetic stressor, activates the body's cold shock response, the goals of which are simple: to reduce heat loss and increase heat production.”

“Dom's efforts at teasing out the differences between induced nutritional ketosis (through a low carbohydrate, high fat diet) and ketosis from the dietary introduction of exogenous ketones, like beta-hydroxybutyrate, especially in the context of therapeutic and performance enhancing effects.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick explores stress, nutrient status, mitochondria, and red light as possible factors in selected cases of hair repigmentation.

“In this member Q&A clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick shares four practices she uses or finds compelling for healthy aging: sauna, sulforaphane-rich foods or supplements, time-restricted eating, and high-intensity interval training.”

“- Practical details like temperature and duration of sauna use, the difference between a dry, wet and infrared sauna, sauna timing, as well as other forms of heat stress such as steam showers, hot baths, and hot yoga.”
