“In response to waning daylight levels, melatonin levels rise, typically two hours before habitual bedtime, and decline in the morning. Melatonin is also produced in the gut and is available as a dietary supplement.”

“Because they contain no supporting food matrix to slow absorption, SSBs are rapidly absorbed by the gut and cause blood sugar spikes. Sugars from fruits and vegetables are packaged with a matrix of fiber and micronutrients that reduce the rate of digestion.”

“Several factors – such as gut pH and temperature, or the presence of iron – can influence whether the conversion process stops at the intermediate stage or continues to form the isothiocyanate.”

“However, the overall composition of the diet matters, too. For example, Dr. D'Agostino gets most of his carbohydrates from fiber-rich vegetables, which he asserts slows the rate of gastric emptying and improves gut health.”

“Melatonin and sleep Melatonin is produced not only by the pineal gland but also in various tissues throughout the body like the gut. Melatonin production follows a ~24 hour rhythm (a circadian rhythm) that’s synchronized to the light-dark cycle.”

“Study 1; Study 2. 02:04:59 - National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) ensures quality and safety of dietary supplements. 02:13:57 - When gut bacteria from young fish were transplanted into old fish, it extended their lifespan by 37%.”

“Diet soda is a substitution tool, not a fat burner. Dr. Patrick asks about insulin and the gut microbiome. Controlled work has found person-specific glycemic responses and microbiome changes during short exposures to some sweeteners.”

“A surprising benefit for the gut microbiome Fahey’s work has revealed that sulforaphane is an effective treatment against Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium implicated in the cause of peptic ulcer disease and stomach cancer. The goal of traditional antibiotics in treating H.”

“Urolithin A is a metabolite produced when certain gut microbes transform ellagitannins from foods such as pomegranate and walnuts. In this clip from Q&A #81, Dr. Rhonda Patrick explains how this compound may support mitochondrial quality control through mitophagy.”
