“Although the findings of a large meta-analysis published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine indicated that there was no evidence to support the notion that consumption of saturated fat increased the risk of heart disease, the studies on which their conclusions were based were primarily observational.”

“In this Knowledge Project excerpt, Dr. Rhonda Patrick distinguishes Finnish sauna protocols near 174–175°F from lower-temperature infrared sauna, which may require longer exposure. Dose depends on temperature, humidity, duration, acclimation, hydration, and health.”

“Ultimately, we all have to weigh the merits and the trade-offs of portable devices for ourselves and our children individually, but it might mean holding out on the tablet until they're a little older, setting rules around it, and certainly demonstrating our own self-discipline in their use.”

“When most people think about certain lifestyle factors that affect insulin sensitivity and blood glucose levels, they think about macronutrient composition, or calories, or fasting, or exercise (and lack of), but they don’t often think about sleep.”

“Prolonged endurance exercise, heavy sweating, sauna use, and a minimally processed diet can also increase the practical need to replace electrolytes, which is different from routinely adding large doses for a sedentary person eating processed foods.”

“Dr. Patrick builds the strength sessions around compound movements such as squats, deadlifts, and overhead presses, then adds circuit-style exercises. She uses progressive loading, usually stops heavy lifts short of failure, and lets lighter movements move closer to failure when technique remains controlled.”
