“In this podcast we dive into how heat causes the growth of new brain cells, plays a part in the "runner's high," improves endurance, affects longevity, increases heat shock proteins and why that is awesome.”

“Approximately 1 in 3 children in the U.S. are overweight or obese and childhood obesity is growing by 50% per decade”

“They measured glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. Next, the researchers exposed muscle cells and pancreatic beta cells, which produce insulin, to lipotoxicity and measured the ability of avocatin B to protect these cells.”

“However, mTOR activation in peripheral tissues, such as the vascular system, has been linked to atherosclerosis and cancer. Exercise resolves this issue by directing leucine toward muscle tissue, ensuring mTOR activation occurs where it's beneficial.”

“Creatine works by building tissue stores, so consistent daily intake matters more than taking it immediately before a specific workout. Dr. Patrick and Dr. Candow also discuss its value during aging, when preserving training quality and muscle becomes increasingly important for function and independence.”

“Future research will need to compare different collagen types, doses, and delivery formats, and determine whether these changes translate into meaningful improvements in daily function or long-term health. In this clip, Dr. Luc van Loon discusses collagen's effects on muscle, cartilage, peptide absorption, and potential skin and joint benefits.”

“Because this microbial conversion differs between people, direct supplementation offers more consistent exposure. Human trials using 500 to 1,000 milligrams per day have reported changes in acylcarnitines, muscle gene expression, endurance, strength, and other measures linked to mitochondrial function.”

“Demonstrates lactate acts as a signaling molecule activating pathways that promote mitochondrial biogenesis. Activation of autophagy in human skeletal muscle is dependent on exercise intensity and AMPK activation - Shows vigorous aerobic exercise boosts mitophagy markers in humans.”
