Evidence from animal studies suggests that skilled exercise enhances blood flow to cognitive circuits, which is a marker of cerebrovascular function.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick answers audience questions on various health, nutrition, and science topics in this Q&A session.

“Several mechanisms explain why, minute for minute, vigorous exercise outperforms moderate- and light-intensity activity for achieving several heath benefits. Shear Stress and Endothelial Function Vigorous exercise dramatically increases blood flow and shear stress—the friction of blood sliding along the inner surface of blood vessels.”

“Dr. Ray Cronise began several self-experiments to lose weight based on the notion that the human body will repair itself in response to stress. He chose to subject himself regularly to brief periods of cold exposure, allowing his body to burn a few additional calories. In this clip, Dr. Ray Cronise shares his personal experiences with cold stress and weight loss.”
