“In a crossover experiment with 12 healthy adults, six 40-second high-intensity cycling intervals increased circulating BDNF four to five times more than 90 minutes of light cycling. The BDNF response also tracked with the rise in circulating lactate.”

“Exercise can improve blood pressure, insulin sensitivity, triglycerides, and fitness, but someone with high ApoB or LDL may still need targeted diet changes and clinician-guided lipid-lowering treatment. Mood is another major benefit.”

“A pooled analysis of 1,422 participants from 14 intervention trials found that supplemented participants took an average of 1,983 milligrams of EPA plus DHA per day for about 13.6 weeks, while their mean Omega-3 Index rose from 4.9% to 8.1%.”

“Intravenous vitamin C has also been used in other viral diseases such as viral myocarditis and Ebstein-barr virus with mixed results. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses the safety and side effects of intravenous vitamin C and describes the evidence supporting its use in treating COVID-19.”

“Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses the differences between different forms of DHA in terms of bioavailability and transport into different cells. She talks about why a specific type of DHA (DHA in phosphatidylcholine) is more readily transported into the brain because it forms DHA-lysophsophatidylcholine.”

“Having sufficient muscle mass markedly reduces a person's risk of dying prematurely, and actively challenging those muscles, through regular physical activity and exercise, may extend a person's life several years.”

“Sex hormones mediate the body's immune response. For example, women mount stronger immune responses to vaccinations than men, possibly because estrogen enhances humoral immunity while testosterone is a suppressor.”

“paper Strengthening Individual Memories by Reactivating Them During Sleep A common thread between aging-associated loss of slow-wave sleep, accumulation of amyloid-beta, and impairment of hippocampal-dependent of memory The decline of deep, slow wave sleep begins much earlier in life than most people would expect, with losses occurring as early as the late 20s.”

“The excerpt also reviews controlled muscle studies: omega-3 attenuated loss during immobilization and increased the amino-acid-stimulated muscle-protein-synthesis response under tested conditions. These findings do not generalize to every dose or population.”

“Since then, the body of research enumerating the profound anti-inflammatory and generalized health-promoting qualities of omega-3s continues to grow; however, some studies fail to show any effects from omega-3 supplementation.”
