“Peakspan is a proposed framework for tracking how long an individual function remains within 90 percent of its personal peak. In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on The Diary Of A CEO, she applies the concept across cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle, bone, immunity, reproduction, and cognition.”

“Brain effects of cold exposure Cold exposure releases norepinephrine into the brain and may activate the cold shock protein RBM3. Some studies suggest that cold exposure may improve mood and cognition, decrease depression, and protect against neurodegenerative disease.”

“The link between obesity and behavioral cognitive problems is likely mediated by elevated inflammation since fat cells are significant producers of inflammation. Recent studies have connected cognitive-behavioral disturbance, body mass index, and inflammation.”

“The active whole body hyperthermia group underwent mild-intensity hyperthermia using a Heckel device, with infrared lights heating the chest and coils warming the lower extremities until their core temperature reached 38.5°C—a process taking an average of 107 minutes (range 81–140 minutes)—followed by a 60-minute cool-down phase.”

“Extensive research indicates creatine supplementation is safe for children and adolescents. Studies consistently demonstrate improvements in muscle strength, agility, coordination, and cognition without adverse effects on growth or development.”

“Treatment of neurodegenerative disease Nicotinamide mononucleotide administration has also been shown to improve cognition and memory in mouse and rat models of Alzheimer’s disease.”

“A separate six-week randomized study in 30 healthy young adults found that neither 10 nor 20 grams per day improved the tested cognitive outcomes compared with placebo. The result is an important counterweight to the acute sleep-deprivation experiment.”

“More on well-timed light For more on well-timed light and its broad implications for health, see the following FoundMyFitness episodes: Full episodes Dr. Satchin Panda on Circadian Insights into Exercise Timing, Melatonin Biology, and Peak Cognition, covering melanopsin, morning versus evening light, melatonin biology, shift work, indoor lighting, cognition, metabolism, and exercise timing.”

“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.”

“In animal studies, high doses of magnesium in the form of magnesium L-threonate have been shown to cross the blood-brain barrier readily and coincide with improvements in cognitive function.”
