“Repeated, intensive cold exposure can also recruit brown adipose tissue and increase cold-induced thermogenesis. In six men, two hours of daily cooling for four weeks increased active brown-fat volume by 45 percent and more than doubled cold-induced brown-fat oxidative metabolism.”

“Meal composition can shape the body's short-term metabolic response. In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on Huberman Lab, she and Dr. Andrew Huberman discuss how large, highly processed, or saturated-fat-rich meals may affect gut-derived signals, energy, and mood.”

“Magnesium supports hundreds of enzyme reactions involved in functions such as energy metabolism and DNA repair, and foods including leafy greens, legumes, nuts, seeds, and whole grains can help close common intake gaps.”

“One human study found lower 24-hour urinary recovery of chlorogenic-acid metabolites when coffee was consumed with milk, while another found no meaningful change in plasma exposure. Together, the studies suggest that dairy may alter metabolism without reliably removing coffee's broader benefits.”

“The mechanisms that drive the effects of sauna bathing include activation of heat shock proteins and pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines; decreased blood pressure and arterial stiffness; and multiple improvements in cardiovascular function.”

“In a small trial of 30 people with stable heart failure, 1,000 milligrams twice daily approximately doubled whole-blood NAD and appeared tolerable while supporting further study rather than proving treatment benefit.”

Shortly after resistance training, participants had lower plasma levels of fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) – a protein secreted by the small intestine and implicated fighting metabolic disease by stimulating the formation of metabolically active brown fatty tissue (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7691747/) and increasing sensitivity to the satiety hormone leptin.

“A growing body of evidence suggests that dementia is the manifestation of insulin resistance and altered metabolism in the brain. A recent study suggests that dietary patterns that promote ketosis improve brain metabolism and function.”

“PET imaging one month after the patient's treatment concluded showed as much as 38 percent improvement in brain metabolism. Long-term treatment (22 months) and pharmaceutical treatment elicited continued patient improvements. Link to full case study.”

“Fasting and exogenous ketones offer two different ways to influence energy metabolism. An overnight fast gradually increases fatty-acid use and ketone production, while ketone esters and salts can raise circulating beta-hydroxybutyrate more rapidly.”
