“Premenopausal females have much lower rates of cardiovascular disease than similarly aged males because of the protective effects of estrogen, but after menopause, there's not much of a difference, and cardiometabolic risk factors actually worsen in females during the menopause transition, indicating this may be a crucial time for exercise intervention to protect the cardiovascular system.”

“Dr. Patrick treats magnesium L-threonate separately. Early human findings are limited by small studies, industry funding, and products that sometimes include coingredients, making it difficult to attribute effects to L-threonate alone.”

“An enriched marine-oil study produced time- and dose-dependent increases in specialized pro-resolving mediators and altered blood-cell responses over 24 hours; it tested biomarkers, not disease prevention. Exercise, sauna, and cruciferous vegetables act through different pathways.”
