CGM technology is widely used among diabetics and pre-diabetics, but as a recent review has pointed out, even those in evidently good metabolic health may benefit from the use of CGM.

Vigorous exercise causes muscles to produce lactate - which crosses the blood-brain barrier and is a messenger for the brain to produce neurotrophic factors like BDNF.

BDNF is like a youth elixir for the brain and the signal that activates it is lactate from high-intensity exercise.

If you want to bathe your brain in BDNF - vigorous-intensity exercise is one of the best ways to do it.

No pharmeceutical can rival exercise when it comes to slowing the aging process - particularly the aging brain.

A large-scale trial investiated th effect of aerobic exercise (running, cycling) on cognition in the 20- to 67-year age range. Here’s what they found:

Better thinking skills as you age: Exercise helped people’s executive function - that’s your brain’s ability to manage tasks, plan, and focus.

Thicker brain cortex, regardless of age:
• Higher cognitive reserve- aiding task flexability and improvisation
• Resilience against brain aging and neurodegenerative disease
• Improved neural plasticity, essential for lifelong learning and skill acquisition
• Bolsters emotional regulation

Real-world Application: The way the workouts were implemented could be a practical recommendation for improving brain health for the general public.

Consistency is key: participants exercised about 40 minutes, four times a week for six months.

Gradually increasing effort: they started easy (55-65% max heart rate) and slowly increased their workout intensity (65%-75% max heart rate).

Monitoring progress: using heart rate monitors helped them stay in the desired exercise intensity.

Flexibility: participants could choose the exercise (running or cycling) they preferred and set their schedules.

Join me this month by participating in Everyday October. Like last year, I’ll be doing some form of deliberate exercise everyday!

It's not just about fitness; it's about transforming effort into anticipation and building a habit of overcoming the mental resistance inherent to physical challenge.

Let’s enjoy the strength in discipline, and the science behind exercise together!

@TulsiGabbard Omg come on! It isn’t as though it was heresy listening to his hateful speech and misogyny. I don’t affiliate with any political party but he clearly has no integrity, is not honest or even kind? Please get a grip! Anyone who feels Trump is president worthy has lost their mind!

[Dr. Rhonda Patrick @foundmyfitness]

Not having enough time for exercise is a myth and I no longer believe it!

But I used to.

Here's why I think high-intensity interval training can help people with this common type of self-deception.

@elonmusk Situations where the parents are abusing the child or not affirming their identity are very real! As someone who spent quite a bit of time working with transitioning teens you would be amazed at how some of this kids are treated.

Hugh, my friend, my brother... you were the very FIRST person to read it and your support, especially in writing the hard stuff, can't be overstated. Thank you for your friendship and for being an important part of making this book a reality.

If you strip out top 8 infectious & communicable dz, these graphs basically all collapse onto the current curve. The increase in median survival and 90th %ile survival has more to do with not dying from infections than progress against ASCVD, cancer, neurodegenerative dz.

3 years later …what was all the fear really about?! This man is responsible for dividing more people than any politician out there. First HIV then Covid.

In March 2020, Dr. Fauci was asked about natural immunity, and his response was:

"I feel very confident that if this virus acts like every other virus that we know, once you get infected, get better, clear the virus, you will have immunity that will protect you..."

[Dr. Jason Fung @drjasonfung]

Boggles my mind that we needed several years of research to prove what every doctor already knew about immunity post viral infection
