“These findings highlight the pivotal role of serotonin receptors in modulating the growth and plasticity of dendritic spines, underscoring their importance in the serotonin-driven development of the prefrontal cortex. Learn how vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids influence serotonin levels and brain development in this open-access article coauthored by Dr. Rhonda Patrick.”

“These cumulative insults drive older adults toward a disability threshold from which they might not recover. Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation may reduce the risk of catabolic crisis. Learn more in this episode featuring Dr. Chris McGlory.”

“Findings from a new study suggest that maternal high-dose docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation during pregnancy reduces the risk of early term birth. DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid found in fatty fish and other seafood.”

“02:10:00 - B vitamins are probably less dangerous because they're water soluble (excess is more readily excreted, similar to Vitamin C). 02:11:00 - Plant form of omega-3, ALA, converts to EPA (normally found in fish) fairly inefficiently at a rate of about 5%.”

“But evidence also suggests that dietary components, such as omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D, slow epigenetic aging, and Dr. Levine is optimistic that other lifestyle behaviors may have similar effects.”

“Some nutrients and bioactive compounds, such as curcumin, capsaicin, resveratrol, and omega-3 fatty acids, may increase brown fat production, too. Link to full study. Listen to this podcast in which Dr. Rhonda Patrick describes how cold exposure induces brown fat production.”

“The Tsimane have the lowest prevalence of coronary heart disease of any known population, likely due to their highly active lifestyle and diet rich in fiber, unsaturated fats, and omega-3 fats.”

“Scientists have identified about 20 urolithins, but the most studied of these is urolithin A, which exerts potent anti-obesity effects. Duckweed is rich in polyphenols, carotenoids, omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and many micronutrients, including iron and vitamin B12.”

“These findings indicate that more than one-third of young adults have high inflammation levels, adversely affecting executive function and processing speed by midlife. They also underscore the importance of managing inflammation throughout life. Omega-3 fatty acids have potent anti-inflammatory effects.”

“Mankai, also called duckweed, is rich in polyphenols, omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fiber, and many micronutrients, including iron and vitamin B12. The polyphenols in mankai exert robust antioxidant activity and support healthy blood glucose levels—critical elements in maintaining brain health.”
