Many of the anabolic effects of growth hormone are thought to be mediated by insulin-like growth factor-1, or IGF-1 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18500379), which is synthesized primarily in the liver but also in skeletal muscle in response to growth hormone.

Dr. Rhonda Patrick explores taurine's longevity role, cocoa flavanols, training adaptations, and oral hyaluronic acid in a Q&A.

“When produced during exercise (especially high intensity workouts like cycling, which shifts metabolism toward glycolysis to more quickly meet the high energetic demands), lactate switches on more than 600 genes involved in muscle adaptation, stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis – the process of making new mitochondria – and promotes protein synthesis, which is essential for muscle growth.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses nicotinamide riboside, biomarkers, belly fat loss, sex-specific health, curcumin & ashwagandha safety.

“00:06:17 - The increases in heart rate seen with sauna use that make it similar to moderate aerobic exercise in some ways (up to 150 beats/min!). 00:06:56 - How time spent in the sauna was one of the more important factors for risk reduction with at least 20 minutes per session in a 174 F (79C) 4-7 times per week being a "sweet spot."”

“Consuming alcohol after exercise worsens the damaging effects of muscle-damaging exercise and impairs the recovery of muscle damage. Combining alcohol with protein after combined aerobic and resistance exercise reduces muscle protein synthesis compared to protein alone by 24%.”

“The physical activity guidelines and estimates on how much activity we need are heavily based on self-reported activity, which is useful but imperfect: people remember going for a run, but they forget the short, intense bursts in daily life like sprinting up stairs, chasing kids, and running to catch a bus.”

“The participants performing exercise (without protein) maintained their aerobic capacity and body fat percentage, but these outcomes worsened in the control group. Resistance Exercise Training Increases Muscle Mass and Strength in Prostate Cancer Patients on Androgen Deprivation Therapy.”

“Compared with one sauna session per week, four to seven weekly sessions were associated with 66% lower dementia hazard and 65% lower Alzheimer's disease hazard, showing a strong dose-related pattern in this population. A second Finnish cohort followed 13,994 men and women.”

“Resistance training is one of the most effective ways to maintain bone health. Still, other lifestyle factors, like not smoking, limiting alcohol, and ensuring that you provide your body with the nutritional components it needs for bone-building, are important too.”
