“Slight elevations in serum creatinine (byproduct of creatine metabolism) seen with supplementation are benign and not indicative of renal impairment. "Creatine causes dehydration and muscle cramping" Contrary to myths, creatine enhances intracellular hydration, reducing rather than increasing the risk of cramps and dehydration, especially during intense exercise in hot conditions.”

“01:12:07 - How people averaging less than six hours of sleep at night are four times more likely to become ill after being exposed to the flu virus. Study. 01:16:27 - How poor sleep overall increases sickness rates, impairs glucose metabolism, and even decreases testosterone levels.”

“A new study finds that people who are obese with no health complications still have a 50% greater risk of heart disease and ~2x the risk of developing heart failure than people who are not overweight and in similar metabolic health.”

“Circadian rhythms, the body’s 24-hour cycles of biological, hormonal, and behavioral patterns, modulate a wide array of physiological processes, including the body’s production of hormones that regulate sleep, hunger, metabolism, and others.”

“We know that circadian rhythm regulates metabolism, hormone production, neurotransmitter production and more. This article covers another area that circadian rhythm also regulates: drug metabolism. Interesting read!”

“This is a proposed metabolic advantage, not proof of slower brain aging. Small TBI trials found that sodium lactate lowered intracranial pressure more than mannitol in severe TBI and improved cognitive scores more than 3% sodium chloride in mild TBI.”

“Dr. Patrick specifically cautions against taking NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, or acetaminophen, to reduce hangover symptoms, especially while alcohol is still being consumed. She says these combinations may slow alcohol metabolism or increase liver toxicity.”

“A systematic review and meta-analysis found no evidence that one time of day produces universally better improvements in health or performance, although gains can be larger when the time of training matches the time of testing.”

“The primary signal that a cell receives indicating that these measures are necessary is the reduction of cellular levels of acetyl-CoA, an end product of nutrient metabolism. Reduced acetyl-CoA levels promote deacetylation of hundreds of cellular proteins that regulate the autophagic process.”

“Chiefly, sleep deprivation triggers the onset of a "loneliness phenotype" by inducing critical changes within the brain that alter behavior and emotions, disturb metabolic processes, and influence the expression of immune-related genes.”
