“Hormesis is a compensatory defense response to a stressor that conditions the body against future stressors. Cold exposure, a powerful hormetic stressor, activates the body's cold shock response, the goals of which are simple: to reduce heat loss and increase heat production.”

“Consuming sufficient protein is essential for muscle growth and maintenance. Emphasis on specific amino acids within protein, particularly the branched-chain amino acids, probably isn't necessary unless you're an elite athlete or an older adult.”

“An abundance of evidence demonstrates that even a single session of exercise can boost EcSOD production in muscles. Taken together, these findings suggest that exercise could provide protection against ARDS by upregulating EcSOD production.”

“Whether extreme endurance exercise suppresses immune function transiently due to stress hormones such as cortisol or via another mechanism is a subject of much debate. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick describes how varying levels of exercise affect the immune response in different ways.”

“This clip originates from an interview recorded on the Kevin Rose Show, which you can click here to download the full version of. Sauna bathing after high-intensity exercise can reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and improve muscle strength.”

Dr. Kelly Starrett joins Dr. Rhonda Patrick to discuss building a durable body, reclaiming lost mobility, and raising more resilient young athletes.

“Acutely, however, caffeine can raise glucose or reduce insulin sensitivity in some people through sympathetic activation, so a short-term glucose response is not identical to the longer-term association. Timing provides the practical answer.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick explores cheese's health impact, ergothioneine's longevity properties, sleep and joint supplements, and red light therapy in her latest Q&A.

“Findings from a recent study indicate that much of the effort of exercise is lost to energy compensation, especially among people with excess bodyweight. The researchers’ analysis revolved around energy expenditure data collected in a cohort of more than 1,700 healthy adults, excluding those involved in competitive sports training or were pregnant or breastfeeding.”
