“More than a century of research has demonstrated that nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an indispensable mediator of vital metabolic and physiological processes, including energy production, DNA synthesis and repair, and regulation of gene expression – across multiple species.”

“Although alcohol may help us feel calm and ready to sleep, it has surprising effects on REM sleep and maybe our waking behaviors too. In this Aliquot, Dr. Matthew Walker, Tim Ferriss, and I discuss some of the risks and surprising effects of alcohol on human health and behavior.”

“A small one-year randomized trial in older adults appeared to buffer decline on a verbal-learning task and increased activation in selected frontal regions; the result needs replication and does not establish broad cognitive enhancement.”

“Recent studies have identified a connection between an impaired interferon response and severe COVID-19 disease. Strategies that increase the body's core temperature – analogous to having a fever – may be beneficial early in COVID-19 illness.”

“Dr. Huberman delays his first meal until late morning, then uses protein-rich whole foods, fruit, vegetables, and starches according to training and appetite. His core supplements include omega-3s, vitamin D, vitamin K2, and selected products guided by his own response and blood work.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses sunscreen safety, HIIT & brain health, diet, omega-3s, urolithin A, sulforaphane, homocysteine, peptides, and CoQ10.

“Sodium keeps our hearts beating, our muscles moving, and our nerves firing—but it's also one of the most debated nutrients in health. While sodium is essential for survival, too much or too little can tip the scales toward problems like high blood pressure or fatigue.”

“Other cohorts report null or apparently protective associations that can reflect sick-quitter bias, socioeconomic differences, cardiometabolic health, and drinking pattern. APOE4 may modify vulnerability in some studies, but interactions are inconsistent.”

“Exposure to environmental toxins – in the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe – is largely unavoidable. But monitoring our exposures and implementing diet and lifestyle strategies can help mitigate the risks associated with toxic exposures. In this Aliquot, Dr. Dale Bredesen, Dr. Michael Snyder, and I discuss ways to deal with our increasingly toxic environment.”

“Some researchers have hypothesized that since antihypertensive drugs like ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers, or ARBs, increase ACE2, they might alter the risk of severe COVID-19 disease.”
