“Parents completed questionnaires about their infant's behavior and collected a stool sample from their infant for microbiome analysis. L. reuteri supplementation significantly reduced the average amount of time the infants cried compared to placebo.”

“Continuous dosing, longer periods of use, and higher doses all increase the risk of side effects, which can be severe with rapamycin—including immune suppression, metabolic disease, and, paradoxically, some forms of cancer. Lifestyle behaviors can mimic many of rapamycin's beneficial effects.”

“UPFs cause metabolic and cognitive changes in less than a week "...just 5 days of a high-calorie diet made the brains of these healthy, normal weight men structurally and functionally similar to people with obesity, and even after cutting the high-calorie foods out of their diet, these changes persisted for at least one week."”

“Exercise–In All Forms—Reduces Depression and Anxiety For the latest study on exercise for depression and anxiety, researchers meta-analyzed a total of 26 randomized controlled trials that compared either aerobic exercise, resistance exercise, or combined training to a control intervention—usually a standard of care such as medication, CBT, counseling, or health education.”

“Some of the preliminary evidence that increased expression of a certain heat shock protein in the brain may influence behavior by protecting against stress-induced depression. The biological wisdom that may be embedded in traditional spiritual practices when it comes to keeping depression at bay...”

“Sleep disruption "Sleep should be framed as a high-confidence health behavior but a still-developing epigenetic-clock story.". Sleep is one of the most intuitive longevity levers, and it is clearly important for health.”

“Irregular sleep patterns have been linked to everything from metabolic dysfunction and cardiovascular disease to mood disturbances, increased risk-taking behaviors, and even cognitive decline.”

“The study estimated that replacing 20–27 minutes of lower-intensity behavior with exercise-like activity would correspond to reductions of approximately 2 mmHg systolic and 1 mmHg diastolic. Read the FoundMyFitness story.”

“Increased permeability of neurovascular units allows endotoxins and inflammatory immune cells to infiltrate the brain, contributing to brain aging. Learn more about how endotoxin influences brain and behavior through the principal inducers of innate immunity, toll-like receptors.”

“The link between obesity and behavioral cognitive problems is likely mediated by elevated inflammation since fat cells are significant producers of inflammation. Recent studies have connected cognitive-behavioral disturbance, body mass index, and inflammation.”
