“Keeping our brains sharp throughout the lifespan is essential for optimal performance. Lifestyle behaviors such as exercise, dietary modification, and sauna use influence brain health.”

“Reducing our late-night exposure to blue light is crucial for a good night's sleep. Limiting screen time or wearing blue light-filtering glasses can help. In this clip, Dr. David Sinclair describes his personal sleep habits for optimal performance during his workday.”

“Circadian rhythms play key roles in metabolic health and ultimately influence body weight, performance, and susceptibility to diseases like diabetes and cancer. Aligning food intake with circadian rhythms can improve many aspects of metabolic health.”

“Findings of a recent report demonstrate the beneficial effects of time-restricted eating on exercise performance in power athletes. Increasing muscle mass and decreasing fat mass is an important goal for many athletes because increasing their strength-to-mass ratio improves performance.”

“At lower exercise intensity, the body relies primarily on fat oxidation; at higher intensity, the body shifts more toward carbohydrate oxidation. During endurance training, the body's carbohydrate stores can deplete, causing fatigue and impairing athletic performance.”

“Participants who took the supplemental vitamin C had greater attention and work absorption and showed improvements in fatigue, performance, and work engagement. However, supplemental vitamin C did not influence mood or BDNF concentrations.”

“THC (found in cannabis) that was given to old mice improved performance on learning and memory tests, improved connections between neurons, and resulted in gene activation profiles in the hippocampus that resembled young mice.”

“Military members often face unique mental and physical demands that require optimal performance under challenging conditions. A recent study demonstrated that exercise and a nutritional supplement providing components present in the Mediterranean diet optimize performance in a group of active duty military members.”

“They tested the teens' neurobehavioral performance in five areas: attention/inhibitory control, memory/learning, language, visuospatial processing, and social perception. They detected glyphosate in the urine of 98.3 percent of the teens and 2,4-D in 66.2 percent.”

“Supplemental ketones – referred to as endogenous ketones – are popular among many athletes due to their purported beneficial effects on performance. A new study shows that endogenous ketone supplementation impairs athletic performance in endurance athletes.”
