“Mitochondrial health and overall health are intrinsically linked. Identifying ways to boost mitochondrial biogenesis – the formation of new mitochondria – ensures that cells maintain an adequate number of mitochondria to meet their energy needs.”

“Controlled studies have found higher overnight glucose after an identical dinner eaten at 10 PM instead of 6 PM and a larger glucose response when food intake occurs close to habitual bedtime during elevated endogenous melatonin.”

“Hormesis is a compensatory defense response to a stressor that conditions the body against future stressors. Cold exposure, a powerful hormetic stressor, activates the body's cold shock response, the goals of which are simple: to reduce heat loss and increase heat production.”

“In Aliquots #131 and #133, leading researcher Dr. Darren Candow and I examined creatine's benefits for muscle quality, physical function, skeletal health, and brain resilience, especially in older adults.”

“In Dr. Raison’s randomized, double-blind study published in JAMA in 2016, it was shown that a single session of whole-body hyperthermia (core body temperature was elevated to 38.5 C) produced a significant antidepressant effect in people with major depressive disorder compared to those who received a sham control.”

“While typical muscle-oriented creatine supplementation protocols (3–5 grams daily) can benefit bone indirectly through increased muscle mass, emerging evidence suggests that higher doses (up to ~8–10 grams/day) might be optimal for maximizing creatine's potential bone benefits in aging populations, especially when paired with weight-bearing exercise.”
