“The gut-brain axis "Somewhere between 30% and 40% of all alcohol use disorders may have a gut-related component, and targeting the gut microbiome could provide an alternative and effective treatment for these conditions." - Dr. Rhonda Patrick. Gut bacteria can communicate with the brain to modulate brain function, behavior, cognition, mood, anxiety, and pain.”

“The breastfed babies' white matter growth was 20 to 30 percent greater, especially in brain regions associated with language, emotional regulation, and cognition. The beneficial effects of breast milk on infant brain development may be particularly relevant for preterm infants (born before 37 weeks' gestation), who have a significantly higher risk for white matter injury during birth.”

“Two such issues are blood flow reduction and blood-brain barrier leakage, which can be detected up to 10 years or more before cognitive decline, providing an opportunity for intervention with the right therapeutic approach.”

“Alterations in magnesium and oxidative status during chronic emotional stress - Young adults undergoing persistent or intermittent stress like anticipating military conflict) experienced substantial decreases in their overall and plasma magnesium concentrations over three months.”

“The gut-brain axis connects centers of cognition and emotion in the brain with the physiology of the gut, placing the ENS at the center of many diseases of the brain and digestive tract.”

“Another study in which 22 year old men who engaged in four weeks of high-intensity interval training three days a week and supplemented with 150 milligrams of resveratrol per day, the lowest dose of the studies mentioned so far, did not promote increases in the men's aerobic or anaerobic capacity, exercise substrate utilization, or muscle fiber-specific adaptations compared to exercise alone.”

“1 2 3 00:31:57 - How skill-based exercise, such as yoga, Tai chi, boxing, tango or skateboarding may play a special role in ameliorating some of the effects of the disease by driving circuit-specific effects, by creating top-down cognitive challenge for skills involved in a patient's movement through space.”

“A basic multivitamin may help cover small nutrient gaps. In three related COSMOS cognitive substudies, a daily multivitamin produced a small average improvement in global cognition and episodic memory among older adults.”

“Dr. Patrick discusses the blood-brain barrier as one connection between vascular health and cognition. Human imaging and cerebrospinal-fluid research found greater barrier dysfunction in APOE4 carriers, including people without cognitive impairment.”

“Obesity In a study in which mice were fed a diet that was high in fat and sugar and received a 400-milligram per kilogram of body weight (mg/kg/bw) nicotinamide riboside supplement every day for one week, the mice gained 60 percent less fat, exhibited improved insulin sensitivity, and demonstrated greater endurance and muscle strength, compared to mice that did not receive the supplement.”
