“In this FoundMyFitness Premium Q&A preview, Dr. Rhonda Patrick reviews common contributors to fragmented sleep, including insomnia, sleep apnea, nocturia, psychological stress, irregular schedules, caffeine, alcohol, light, noise, temperature, and late eating.”

“It also activates widespread brain areas and brain systems. A new review of multiple studies primarily focused on aerobic exercise but also included some studies that utilize resistance exercise. A major factor that has been shown to influence the cognitive effects of acute exercise in people is exercise intensity. The higher the intensity the better the effect.”

“Nrf2 regulates the expression of cytoprotective proteins that protect against oxidative stress due to injury and inflammation. Sulforaphane is the most potent naturally occurring inducer of Nrf2.”

“Candidates include vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, and TA-65, a product that purportedly contains extracts of astragalus membranaceus, a plant-based compound that demonstrates immunomodulatory, anti-oxidative stress, and anti-aging effects, the latter of which are associated with longer telomeres.”

“Glutathione helps prevent damage from oxidative stress caused by the production of reactive oxygen species that can occur after a traumatic brain injury. In this clip, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino discusses the neuroprotective potential associated with a combination of ketones and lactate in the management of traumatic brain injury.”

“Alzheimer's disease affects more than 24 million people worldwide, with numbers expected to grow as the population ages. A growing body of evidence links mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress to the development of Alzheimer's disease.”

“Heat stress activates molecular chaperones that help fold damaged proteins and maintain proteostasis, while heat therapy may also influence vascular and metabolic pathways relevant to cognitive aging. A prospective Finnish study followed 2,315 middle-aged men for a median of 20.7 years.”

“Surprisingly, they found that blocking IL-6 impaired reversal learning in both groups of animals, suggesting that basal IL-6 activity in the brain (in the absence of stress or inflammation) may aid learning.”
