“A large meta-analysis found that organic crops tended to contain higher concentrations of several phenolic compounds, lower cadmium, and fewer detectable pesticide residues, but no single nutritional pattern applies to every fruit or vegetable.”

“A growing body of evidence suggests that sulforaphane's protective effects extend to the brain, where it appears to enhance brain-derived neurotrophic factor (a protein that controls and promotes the growth of new neurons) and inhibits histone deacetylation (an epigenetic modification that influences gene expression).”

“Furthermore, emerging research underscores the importance of shear force in blood flow and its impact on neurotrophic factors like BDNF and VEGF at the blood-brain barrier. In this clip, Dr. Martin Gibala examines the cognitive benefits of HIIT and the emerging insights on lactate's role in brain health.”

“The body's response to cold-water immersion and similar cold-exposure techniques like cryotherapy is a robust release of norepinephrine, rapidly setting off a cascade of adaptive effects that influence aspects of metabolism, brain function, and genetic expression.”

“In this video, Dr. Rhonda Patrick summarizes a recent study that found that frequency of sauna use was associated with increased decreased risk of death. Using the sauna 2-3 times per week was associated with 24% lower all-cause mortality and 4-7 times per week decreased all-cause mortality by 40%.”

“Coffee contains caffeine and polyphenols such as chlorogenic acids. In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, she discusses how coffee preparation, dose, and caffeine content can shape its effects.”

“Dr. D'Agostino cautions against confusing a Westernized obesogenic high-fat diet with a ketogenic diet. In a well-designed preclinical study, researchers fed mice a cyclic ketogenic diet starting at midlife and observed improved healthspan, cognition, and brain function.”

“The result introduces sleep as a promising new area of creatine research. Dr. Candow and Dr. Patrick explore several possible explanations, including cellular energy demand during recovery, adenosine signaling, and creatine's role in the brain.”

“Prospective human cohorts have reported associations between prenatal BPA measurements and later child behavior, sometimes with sex-specific patterns, but results are inconsistent and residual confounding remains possible.”

“Lactate is a fuel and inter-organ signal, not merely a waste product. Human work links higher exercise lactate with circulating BDNF and selected acute executive-function outcomes, while animal and mechanistic studies support possible effects on neurogenesis.”
