“In this podcast we dive into how heat causes the growth of new brain cells, plays a part in the "runner's high," improves endurance, affects longevity, increases heat shock proteins and why that is awesome.”

“Vigorous work produces lactate that can cross the blood-brain barrier and participate in brain energy metabolism. Exercise also raises growth factors such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor, which support synaptic plasticity and memory-related circuits.”

“Magnesium threonate may not be the best choice for overall needs. Magnesium threonate has gained attention for its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, suggesting it provides cognitive benefits. However, the science supporting this idea is still developing.”

“The transcranial direct current stimulation, which is a non-invasive method of brain stimulation, delayed exhaustion of the leg muscles by ~15% during an exercise task by decreasing the perception of effort.”

“00:13:00 - Exercise can increase tryptophan transport into the brain. Study. 00:14:25 - Consumption of branched-chain amino acids can deplete tryptophan in the brain as much as use of methamphetamine can.”

“A recent review suggests that consuming probiotics and prebiotics has beneficial effects on the gut-brain axis and mental health. Probiotics are live microbes that, when consumed in the diet or in supplemental form, confer a health benefit to the host.”

“Lactate, once thought to cause muscle fatigue, now shown to be shuttled into other tissues such as the brain where it is used as energy. Lactate also acts as a signaling molecule that can gene expression and has been shown to increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).”

“Animal studies showed the bacteria play a role in more rapid disease progression and blocking the bacteria from entering the brain slowed the neurodegeneration. In a podcast I recorded with Dr. Dale Bredesen he discussed the role of the bacteria P.”

“Other evidence suggests that impaired brain transport of DHA, a type of omega-3 fatty acid, increases Alzheimer's disease risk. Learn more in this open-access, peer-reviewed article by Dr. Rhonda Patrick. Read study abstract.”

“Vigorous exercise enhances brain health, too, by boosting the production of BDNF, a protein essential for brain flexibility and sharp thinking. When we work out hard enough to get our heart rate up to about 80 percent of its max, our bodies produce lactate.”
