“Supplementing with oral DHEA (usually 25–50 mg per day) can meaningfully boost testosterone levels, potentially improving symptoms like low energy, quality of life, and libido; however, limited evidence exists for improvements in menopausal symptoms, sexual function, cognition, or overall well being in normal women without adrenal insufficiency.”

“In a small randomized trial of adults aged 60 to 80, five grams per day during 12 weeks of supervised resistance training increased lean mass more than placebo plus training; measured strength and bone outcomes did not significantly differ between groups.”

“She uses the omega-3 index, the percentage of EPA and DHA in red-blood-cell membranes, as a practical biomarker that reflects longer-term intake better than a single meal or supplement dose. In the Framingham Offspring cohort, the omega-3 index was one of four red-blood-cell fatty-acid measures selected in mortality-prediction models during 11 years of follow-up.”

“In a randomized study of healthy adults, four four-minute intervals at 90 to 95 percent of peak heart rate performed three times weekly increased VO2 max by 7.2 percent over eight weeks and outperformed work-matched moderate training.”

“Morning light also works as part of a full day-night contrast. Dr. Huberman favors brighter days and dimmer, warmer evenings, because late bright light can delay sleep timing while earlier light supports a stronger daytime signal.”

“Dr. Huberman contrasts these with effortful pursuits, but this is a conceptual analogy rather than evidence that screens or color produce drug-equivalent dopamine changes. Large peaks can be followed by reduced drive while signaling recovers.”

Alcohol, in particular, can have negative effects on a breastfed infant, including altered sleep patterns, decreased milk intake, and impaired motor development (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00216-010-3681-0), among others.

“Imagine a drug that improves sleep, reduces stress, sharpens focus, and boosts mood—without cost or side effects. That "drug" is light. Natural light is more than just illumination; it's a potent regulator of our body's internal clock, driving critical processes like hormone release and sleep-wake cycles.”

“Adequate, quality sleep is essential for the body's recovery and repair, promoting optimal physical and mental health. Getting a good night's sleep can be challenging, especially in our modern world, but we can take steps to overcome those challenges. In this Aliquot, we present a mashup of our best resources on sleep, featuring insights from Dr. Matthew Walker, Dr. Satchin Panda, and me.”
