“Plastic containers are a major source of chemical leaching, especially when used to heat food. Even when labeled "microwave-safe," plastic can still release toxins when exposed to heat: Switch to glass, stainless steel, or ceramic containers for a healthier alternative.”

“Time-Restricted Feeding Improves Insulin Sensitivity, Blood Pressure, and Oxidative Stress Even without Weight Loss in Men with Prediabetes. Cell Metab. 2018 TRE is just one of three dietary levers one can use to improve health and manage weight.”

“Thermal stress including hot water immersion (to improve blood flow via heat) and cold water immersion (to reduce soreness and inflammation). In addition to temperature, the hydrostatic pressure of water has an added benefit for recovery.”

“In addition, sauna use, which induces mild hyperthermia, increases the production of heat shock proteins, which are involved in glutathione maintenance and activity. Link to full publication.”

“Study on sauna and inflammatory biomarkers. Learn more about the effects of using the sauna on human health via my podcast with Dr. Jari Laukkanen. Learn about the antidepressant effects of heat stress on the brain via my episode with Dr. Charles Raision.”

“01:16:35 - Protective mechanisms, such as the activation of tumor suppressor genes, are induced by hormesis – a type of protective stress response triggered by things like isothiocyanates. 01:20:20 - Plants produce toxic compounds that have a net positive effect because they induce hormesis.”

“However, both groups' behavioral symptoms improved during the second phase, as did markers of oxidative stress, mitochondrial respiration, inflammation, and heat shock proteins. The supplement elicited no adverse effects and was well tolerated.”

“For example, a comprehensive review of the effects of microplastics revealed that the pollutants induce oxidative stress and increase the risk for metabolic dysfunction, neurotoxicity, and some cancers.”

“These results might relate to thermoregulation, the body's process for maintaining a stable internal temperature. Heat exposure increases skin blood flow to facilitate cooling, which raises cardiac workload and can elevate heart rate.”

“Participants in the sauna group followed their exercise training with 15 minutes of sauna bathing at 150 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature of the sauna was increased by 40 degrees Fahrenheit every two weeks as participants acclimated to the heat stress.”
