Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses her supplement routine, Neu5Gc risks, Repatha and diabetes, heat stress, osteoporosis in men, and plyometrics.

“In addition, heat shock proteins promote mitochondrial biogenesis, potentially reversing age-related mitochondrial dysfunction. (See "Mitochondrial dysfunction" above) Learn more about sauna use and heat shock proteins in our overview article.”

Dr. Jari Laukkanen discusses the role of heat stress in the prevention of cardiovascular & Alzheimer’s disease.

“Learn more about this study which is now recruiting at UCSF in San Francisco. 00:33:37 - How the new sauna study will also be interrogating biomarkers thought to be implicated in adaptive responses to heat stress and exercise.”

“Unfortunately, most people don't have access to a home sauna, and during these unprecedented times shelter-in-place orders have made it impossible to use public saunas. However, other modalities of heat stress such as hot baths and exercise have been shown to increase heat shock proteins.”

“How heat stress activates genetic pathways, including heat shock proteins, in worms and humans that lower protein aggregation and extend lifespan in worms. How too much iron can lead to protein aggregation and how vitamin D can prevent it.”

“"Sauna use is an exercise mimetic that induces the activity of heat shock proteins, providing an alternative option for people who cannot exercise.". Sauna use exposes the body to extreme temperatures that stress the body, eliciting physiological responses that are remarkably similar to those experienced during moderate- to vigorous-intensity exercise.”

“Heat exposure produces mild hyperthermia that activates protective stress responses, including heat shock proteins, Nrf2-related antioxidant pathways, inflammatory balancing, neuroprotective pathways, and cardiovascular adaptations.”

“Heat stress as a means to sensitize pathways important to thermoregulatory cooling that also affect brain regions implicated in the regulation of mood. The thermoregulatory dysregulation found in other relevant psychiatric conditions outside of depression, such as schizophrenia.”

“The effects of heat stress on longevity have also been shown in lower organisms including flies and worms, increasing their lifespans by as much as 15 percent. The mechanism of lifespan extension was also teased out in these organisms and shown to be specifically dependent on heat shock proteins.”
