“High levels of the inflammatory biomarker C-Reactive Protein predict the effectiveness of antidepressant treatment. In patients with low inflammation, the treatment had no benefit over the placebo. This is new research from Dr. Charles Raison.”

“A new study found that using the sauna was associated with a decrease in a biomarker of inflammation (CRP) in a dose-dependent manner. The more frequent the sauna use...the more robust the effect of lowering inflammation.”

“A clinical trial found a fasting-mimicking diet decreased biomarkers of inflammation in humans. In mice, the diet reversed pathologies associated with Crohn's and colitis partly by changing the gut microbiome.”

“Four weeks of using the sauna increased resting anti-inflammatory biomarkers (IL-10) and this adaptation happened faster in the already physically active. There was also a small increase in some of the heat shock proteins.”

“Supplementation with PQQ decreased biomarkers of inflammation and oxidation and increased markers of mitochondrial activation in a small trial in humans. Previous studies have also demonstrated that PQQ improved mitochondrial efficiency in humans.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses nicotinamide riboside, biomarkers, belly fat loss, sex-specific health, curcumin & ashwagandha safety.

“> Based on the newly developed biomarker, the researchers extended their research to other neuropsychiatric disorders. They showed that individuals with bipolar disorder also showed striatal dysfunction that overlapped with the dysfunction associated with schizophrenia.”

“Sleep deprivation for one night boosted levels of amyloid beta (a biomarker linked to Alzheimer's) disease by 25-30% in healthy participants. There is a growing body of evidence demonstrating the important role sleep plays in brain health.”

“The hot water bath protocol used in this study included 1 hour in 104.9°F water 4-5 times per week. To learn more about the effects of using the sauna for reducing biomarkers for cardiovascular disease, check out my podcast with the Dr. Jari Laukkanen.”

“Aerobic exercise (120 minutes per week) significantly lengthened telomeres, a biomarker for healthy aging, in white blood cells after 24 weeks in previously inactive, highly stressed older adults (randomized controlled trial).”
