“Low amounts of this hormone has been linked to promoting the aging process (such as hardening of the arteries and the loss of muscle and bone) and higher levels has been associated with better cognitive function in humans and lifespan extension in mice. Meditation, yoga, and exercise are all great ways to combat and negate the unhealthy effects of chronic stress.”

“Sleep deprivation increases stress hormones, which have been shown to increase the degradation of proteins in skeletal muscle, and reduce secretion of anabolic hormones.”

“Understanding how hormone therapy influences tau buildup could help refine guidelines for menopausal treatment and Alzheimer's risk reduction. Learn more about factors that influence the risk of Alzheimer's disease in this clip featuring Dr. Dale Bredesen.”

“Research from epigenetics expert Steve Horvath is the first to demonstrate the reversal of epigenetic aging and immunosenescence of the thymus with drug therapy. Nine participants between the ages of 51 and 65 years were given a drug protocol that included recombinant human growth hormone to reverse signs of immunosenescence.”

“FTA: > Summary: Drinking sugar-sweetened beverages can suppress the hormone cortisol and stress responses in the brain, but diet beverages sweetened with aspartame do not have the same effect, according to a new study.”
