“The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (i.e., gut-brain axis) is formed by neural and endocrine connections between the hypothalamis, a brain region that controls body temperature, hunger, and sleep; the pituitary gland, a endocrine organ in the brain that produces hormones; and the adrenal gland…”

“The study involved 86 male special operations veterans who had reported experiencing various mental and physical health disorders, including memory/concentration problems, TBI, depression, anxiety, PTSD, sleep problems, anger/rage, and fatigue.”

“The randomized, cross-over, laboratory study involved 16 healthy, normal-weight men. Each of the men ate three meals per day in the laboratory for three days and maintained a regular sleep pattern.”

“Self-reported sleep duration, alcohol intake, and living alone showed no clear links to changes in any brain marker. These findings suggest that different biological pathways drive distinct types of brain damage years before cognitive decline becomes evident.”

“These rhythms also influence mechanisms that repair DNA damage – which can drive mutations that promote cancer. The study involved 14 healthy men and women (22 to 34 years old) who participated in a simulated shift work experiment at a sleep laboratory.”

“Parkinson's disease is a progressive, incurable neurodegenerative disorder that typically manifests later in life. It is characterized by motor features, such as tremors and a shuffling gait, but can include non-motor features as well, such as fatigue, sleep problems, and mood disorders.”

“Depression is characterized by mood alterations, such as increased sadness and irritability, and physiological changes, such as decreased sleep, appetite, and sexual desire. Previous research has reported a relationship between increased muscle strength and lower depression risk in older adults.”

“In older neurons, reduced GTP levels may slow these steps. Nicotinamide may help restore the cell's energy capacity, while EGCG may activate protective genes through the Nrf2 pathway, helping maintain the conditions needed for transport and recycling to function properly.”

“Interventions were ketogenic-style diets high in fat, moderate in protein, and limited to no more than 25% of calories from carbohydrate or under 50 grams per day, compared with control diets in randomized trials or with each participant's own baseline diet.”
