Physiology
Glutamate & Excitotoxicity
Curcumin lowers glutamate levels by preserving glutamate transporter GLT-1 expression and function, leading to an attenuation of excitotoxicity
Fenton: linking Iron and Inflammation
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) can be hijacked by the Fenton reaction to produce highly inflammatory hydroxyl radicals (OH-)
Cold Thermogenesis & Brown Adipose Tissue
Cold exposure can improve cardiovascular health by increasing the production of “good” cholesterol (HDL) and decreasing the production of “bad” cholesterol (LDL)
Breath: Wim hof, oxygen and hypoxia
Intermittent hypoxic training (IHT) could promote general health and wellbeing and have anti-aging properties
Melatonin is to sleep, what cortisol is to insomnia
Sunlight, especially in the morning, can help to regulate the production of two important hormones: cortisol and melatonin
Energy Expenditure: NEAT
Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) refers to the energy your body uses for activities other than planned exercise
Genetic and metabolic optimization 101
Tackling inflammation, antioxidants, detoxification pathways and improving metabolism are built on a strong dietary and lifestyle baseline
Electric life: Ions
Electrical charge differences determined by segregation of various ions, such as Na+, Cl-, Ca++ or K+ drive the electrical backbone of life itself
Are we human, or are we Microbiome?
Gut microbiome may contribute to heart disease by increasing TMAO, a compound that may lead to blocked arteries
