In this clip, Dr. Patrick explains how intense exercise beneficially alters tryptophan and kynurenine metabolism in a way that may benefit depression.

“Prospective human cohorts have reported associations between prenatal BPA measurements and later child behavior, sometimes with sex-specific patterns, but results are inconsistent and residual confounding remains possible.”

“As such, sleep deprivation and poor sleep quality are inherently linked with many psychiatric disorders. In this clip, Dr. Matthew Walker describes how sleep impairs the opposing actions of the amygdala and prefrontal cortex to influence mood and mental health.”

“Dr. Mattson asserts that intermittent fasting (IF) has many brain benefits — even more than a ketogenic diet but they also share many similarities. Intermittent fasting increases activity in neural networks to a greater extent than a ketogenic diet.”

“paper Strengthening Individual Memories by Reactivating Them During Sleep A common thread between aging-associated loss of slow-wave sleep, accumulation of amyloid-beta, and impairment of hippocampal-dependent of memory The decline of deep, slow wave sleep begins much earlier in life than most people would expect, with losses occurring as early as the late 20s.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick answers audience questions on various health, nutrition, and science topics in this Q&A session.

“In the prospective Framingham Offspring Study, people in the highest red-blood-cell DHA group had approximately 49 percent lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease than those in the lowest group.”

“Her practical message is to reduce the frequency and size of large glucose exposures. Foods with intact fiber, protein, and minimally processed carbohydrates digest more slowly than refined added sugar, while regular exercise gives skeletal muscle a large destination for circulating glucose.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick answers audience questions on various health, nutrition, and science topics in this Q&A session.

“Dr. Patrick distinguishes human associations between exercise lactate and circulating BDNF or norepinephrine from animal evidence for direct brain BDNF effects. She also discusses serotonin and norepinephrine signaling, focus, and impulse control.”
