“Drinking alcohol increases a person's risk for many chronic diseases, but exercise can help reduce alcohol cravings. Learn more in this short video featuring Dr. Rhonda Patrick. Read full publication.”

“Disturbances in this system may heighten oxidative stress contributing to worse COVID-19 outcomes. In this clip, Dr. Roger Seheult and Dr. Rhonda Patrick discuss how vitamin D levels might affect the renin-angiotensin-system and how this relates to COVID-19 outcomes.”

“Dr. Rhonda Patrick explains why fish oil and atrial fibrillation should be discussed in terms of both relative and absolute risk. She reviews an observational UK Biobank analysis that associated regular fish oil use with a higher transition from healthy status to atrial fibrillation or stroke, while also reporting different associations after cardiovascular disease was present.”

“Using a Mendelian randomization analysis, scientists determined that people carrying genetic variants associated with low vitamin D levels have higher mortality from respiratory tract infections and higher all-cause mortality. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick describes what Mendelian randomization studies are and how they are valuable instruments in the scientific toolbox.”

“Thus, the series of steps that would result in mRNA incorporating into nuclear DNA is biologically implausible. In this clip, Dr. Roger Seheult and Dr. Rhonda Patrick describe why mRNA vaccines do not alter human genetics.”

“Hydrogen-rich water contains dissolved molecular hydrogen and has been studied as a possible way to influence oxidative and inflammatory signaling. In this clip from Q&A #77, Dr. Rhonda Patrick reviews a four-week randomized trial in 38 healthy adults who drank 1.5 liters per day.”

“In this FoundMyFitness Premium Q&A preview, Dr. Rhonda Patrick reviews common contributors to fragmented sleep, including insomnia, sleep apnea, nocturia, psychological stress, irregular schedules, caffeine, alcohol, light, noise, temperature, and late eating.”

“In The Science of Protein, Dr. Rhonda Patrick describes skeletal muscle as metabolic and functional reserve. Greater reserve supports glucose disposal and insulin sensitivity and provides capacity during illness, injury, or inactivity.”

“Dr. Rhonda Patrick examines how plastic-associated chemicals may influence neurodevelopment and how very small plastic particles may reach the brain. Preclinical studies suggest that BPA can alter estrogen signaling, neurotransmitter systems, and oxidative-stress pathways.”
