“A steadier routine could reduce that mismatch and support circadian control of sleep, hormone release, metabolism, and immune function. Routine regularity may therefore act as a broad stabilizing signal across biological timing and behavior.”

“DHEA-S (dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate) is a naturally occurring precursor to estrogen and testosterone. These steroid hormones exert anabolic effects by enhancing the bioavailability of insulin-like growth factor-1 in muscles, facilitating muscle growth and repair.”

“Other evidence suggests vigorous exercise reduces alcohol cravings, likely due to exercise's effects on FGF21 – a hormone produced during vigorous activity. Learn more in this short video featuring Dr. Rhonda Patrick.”

“The investigation included more than 41,000 adults enrolled in NHANES, an ongoing study that assesses the health and nutritional status of people in the U.S. Researchers gathered information about the participants' eating habits (including timing and food quality) and tracked their health and death rates for about nine years.”

“Oxytocin is a hormone produced in the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary gland of the brain. It is an important chemical messenger that influences certain human behaviors as well as social interaction.”

“They influence cell membrane integrity, affect membrane-bound cellular receptor functions, and participate in pathways involved in the biosynthesis of hormones that regulate blood clotting, contraction and relaxation of artery walls, and inflammation.”

“Vitamin D is a steroid hormone that plays critical roles in many aspects of human health. Findings from a new study suggest that vitamin D supplementation reduces the risk of developing vertigo in people who are deficient.”

“Authors of a new study found that vitamin D supplementation shortened SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitamin D-deficient people. Vitamin D is a hormone that affects the expression of many genes important for immune function.”

“Findings from a recent review suggest that phthalate exposure increases the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. The many risks associated with phthalate exposure may be due to the compounds' effects as endocrine disruptors, which can mimic or impair the activity of the body's natural hormones.”

“The authors of the study assessed the participants' response to a stressor (public speaking) before and after the interventions, based on biomarkers associated with stress, including adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and proinflammatory cytokines.”
