Learn strategies to create an optimal morning and evening routine for fat loss, metabolic health and productivity with guest Aaron Alexander. Support your next workout with the new Electrolyte + Creatine Combo by MYOXCIENCE: https://bit.ly/electrolyte-stix
02:55 The ideal morning includes movement, grounding, and breathwork. You can change your state by altering the way that you breathe. Running is breathwork. 06:55 You can alter your blood pressure with 6 deep breaths. 08:10 Bowel movements help remove toxins, spent hormones, and other waste. Bowel movements are easier after breath work and movement. Your GI tract has a circadian rhythm. 14:52 Workout fasted or supplemented? Mike says – do what helps you have the best workout. Creating an oxygen debt and hypertrophy through exercise is more important than metabolic debt or stress. Women are more prone to overindulging in the post exercise window compared to men. 17:53 For fat burning, morning training would best have resistance training and some HIIT woven in. 20:20 Looking up into the early morning sun stimulates neurological tissue to induce an energizing feeling. Looking down suggest to your physiology that it is time to rest. 21:35 Scanning the horizon can support unwinding stress. Focused vision is more of an upregulation of your nervous system. 26:30 As with animals, we innately know how much sun to get, how much water to drink and more. How does it feel? 29:25 Space travel, out of gravity, causes rapid ageing. Bones lose density. You lose muscle mass. You gain fat. Astronaut’s resistance training reduces the deleterious effects of zero gravity. 31:00 Integrate fitness into who you are. Allow nature in. We compartmentalize healthy practices. 32:50 Moving your muscles through the day, tells your muscles that you are active, helping with blood sugar regulation, fat oxidation, and help move the lymphatic system. 34:30 Having strong relationships trumps all health factors. 36:25 People who have suicidal ideations, have accelerated biologic age compared to those who do not. 38:03 Negative perspectives on ageing when you are young are linked to about 2x the risk of cardiovascular disease and more, when you are in your 60s. 41:00 If you believe that a food is good for you, it will be better for you. 42:40 Cold exposure is part of an ideal morning. As you age, the intensity and rhythmicity and amplitude of your circadian rhythm is muted. Your body is coldest in the morning, so cold exposure in the morning amplifies this. Even a few second of cold shower works. Temperature is an important external cue. 44:50 Eat earlier, not within 3 hours of going to bed. This helps prevent weight gain and helps ensure better sleep. 45:50 Watching the sun set helps your circadian rhythm. 46:28 Avoid light over 50 lux within the 90 minutes before bed. You can order a light meter or use an app on your phone. Seconds of exposure to brighter light can suppress the amount of melatonin you release in your brain. 48:03 Full spectrum rays of the sun penetrating the eyes can change the shape and structure of the eye. 50:30 Reduce your exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals. Avoid anything with a fragrance. Filter your water. Atrazine, used in agriculture, is linked to gender dysphoria, and feminizing of males. Chemical sources are water, chemicals, skin products, household products, and flame retardants. Open your windows. Dust your house regularly. 59:15 Cellphones close to lymphatic tissue in the breast or groin is linked with increased prevalence of cancer. 01:00:05 Light Before Bed: Wear blue light blocking glasses before bed. A walk after a meal stimulates digestion and mitigates the rise in glucose. Ensure that your bedroom is dark and cold. In the hour and minutes before bed, keep your lux to under 5. 01:02:20 Spending time on the ground in various postures, as your ancestors did, is a natural tuning mechanism for your body. The rough hard ground is a form of myofascial release. Get up and down. 01:09:30 Position on a toilet does not promote a healthy bowel movement. In a deep squat, the anal-rectal angle opens. 01:15:10 Get hot before bed. Do sauna or take a hot bath so you cool down before bed. 01:16:03 How you breathe during sleep influences the quality of your sleep. Mouth tape during sleep. Do it before bed to get used to it during sleep.

(2020). Mechanism of increased risk of insulin resistance in aging skeletal muscle. Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome, 1–10. Episode Time Stamps:
0:40 Aging is linked with a decline in skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity. 1:45 Insulin resistance prevalence for those ages 40 to 59 is 40% to 60% and ages 20 to 39 is 20%. Over the age of 75, prevalence is over 75%. 2:35 Autophagy declines with age. There is a reduction in quantity and quality of mitochondria within the muscle, reduced insulin sensitivity and an increase in background inflammation. 03:20 Exercise increases mitophagy, the recycling of mitochondria. 4:45 Loss of fast twitch muscle fibers, associated with ageing, is associated with declines in insulin sensitivity and an increase in inflammation. 5:25 Over age 40, there is an 8% loss of muscle per decade. By age 70, your muscles are 30% smaller than age 20. 5:55 Loss of type 2 fibers causes a loss of strength. 6:20 Strength loss is 25 to 40% per decade after the age of 40. Muscle size lost is about 10% per decade over 40. 6:55 Exercise to improve metabolic health. 7:50 Do explosive, high intensity movements and compound multi muscle movements. 9:40 Periodically, focus on strength, speed, and concentric movement to prevent the preferential loss of type 2 fibers. 13:25 Exercise reduces blood pressure and increases autophagy and mitophagy.

Support Healthy Hydration and Exercise Performance with the new Electrolyte Stix by MYOXCIENCE Nutrition: bit.ly/electrolyte-stix Save with code podcast at checkout Link to Video and References: https://bit.ly/dr-attias-rule Time Stamps: 01:39 Exercise has a huge impact upon disease and death from all causes and overall, all-cause mortality. 02:34 Attia’s Rule: Don’t quibble about nutrition or supplementation until you dial in your exercise/strength. 05:05 Exercise is a drug. Muscle is an organ that releases hormones. 06:20 Exercise impacts many psychiatric and neurologic diseases: schizophrenia, stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as dementia, Parkinson’s and MS. 08:45 Stimulated muscle releases peptides, and hormone-like mediators called exerkines or myokines. 10:05 Resistance training causes muscle to release an extra-cellular vesical that tells fat cells to release stored energy to be burned as fuel during exercise. 12:40 Ageing individuals with low muscle mass have a 200% increase in all-cause mortality compared to those with high muscle mass. 13:00 Low strength is a 250% greater risk of all-cause mortality, over high strength. 14:00 Prioritize strength. Get stronger. 15:10 Strength reduces rapidly with ageing, even faster than age-related muscle loss.

Anthony Jay, PhD discusses ways to minimize your exposure to common chemicals that are harming your hormones and health.
Anthony's Book: https://amzn.to/3eIE50u Video Version of the Episode: https://bit.ly/3LamZ7y Episode Time Stamps: 02:20 Average total male testosterone now is 250.In the 1980s the average male had 500 total testosterone. That average drops about a percentage point every year. In the 1990s it was about 400. In the early 2000s it was about 300. 02:55 Paleo ancestors had an average total testosterone of 1500. 03:05 Breast cancer rates have risen 250% in the past 20 to 30 years. 03:25 Fake estrogen chemicals mess with estrogen and progesterone ratios and block testosterone from binding to the receptor. They lower your total testosterone and free testosterone. 05:04 If the recycle symbol on the bottom of your bottle is 7, there is bisphenol (probably BPS), even if it says BPA free. BPS is worse than BPA. 05:55 Find and address the root cause of decreasing testosterone. 07:15 Phthalates leach into your water. Filter your drinking water. Don’t store water in plastic. Use glass or stainless steel. Water in your house is transported through plastic pipes. Dr. Jay likes the water filters mounted on the spigot of the kitchen sink. Water from a plastic pitcher filter can be stored in a glass pitcher. 08:20 Activated charcoal (carbon) is the key to removing estrogen chemicals. 09:05 Chicken is full of phthalates from injected preservatives. 10:15 Plastic containers leach into liquids, especially if it is heated or at room temperature. 10:55 The black plastic on TV dinners is from recycled electrical cords and other gear. 11:58 Low testosterone is linked to poor metabolic health, cardiovascular disease, and depression. 12:15 Doctors are trained as pharmaceutical reps. There is no incentive to fix the root cause. 14:40 Testosterone protects your arteries against plaque, protects your brain against Alzheimer’s, and protects your metabolism through blood sugar regulation. 15:10 The medical/pharmaceutical system is a money driven machine. It does not optimize for you health. It is optimized for selling more drugs. 15:35 Testosterone is an action hormone for both men and women. It is motivating and improves sex drive. Estrogen in the brain can increase aggressive behavior. 16:45 Natural estrogen protects against Alzheimer’s, heart attacks and depression. By decreasing natural estrogen in women, and add fake estrogen chemicals, you make the women more masculine. 17:33 Atrazine exposure creates male feminization. Atrazine is the second most used herbicide, after glyphosate, in the North America. It is illegal in Europe. A male frog sitting in water with 200 ng/dL of atrazine turns the male frog into a female frog. US safety limit for atrazine in drinking water is 3,000 ng/dL. 19:00 Oxybenzone in sunscreen is an estrogen endocrine disruptor. Seven days after one application of sunscreen brought blood levels of oxybenzone above government adult safety limits. 19:40 The “new car smell” is often oxybenzone. It perverts your brain into thinking it is attractive. 20:20 No one is studying the additive effect, bioaccumulation, or long-term impacts of fake hormones. 21:00 Fake estrogens influence the way cells behave, but it does not kill the cell. That means that it is not toxic. Adding BPA to cells in a dish does not kill them because the cells think it is more estrogen. When your cells are placed in a plastic research dish, 80% of them die from the plastic. The remaining ones are robust, and those are the ones studied. 22:40 If you see the word “fragrance” on a label, don’t buy it. 23:00 China has stricter regulations on parabens and phthalates than the US to circumvent the feminization of males. 24:35 Use the sauna. Sweat out your chemical exposures. 25:05 Gender dysphoria may be linked to chemical exposures. 27:10 Polar bears in northern Alaska have parabens and phthalates in their bodies. These chemicals can cause them to become infertile. 28:05 Children with high levels of urine BPA have high rates of depression. 28:30 There are two estrogen receptors and one testosterone receptor, an androgen receptor. Women have 3 main estrogens: estrone, estriol, and estradiol. The alpha estrogen receptor is important for sexual development in the womb. After the womb, the alpha receptor should not be activated. 29:10 Alpha estrogen receptor is linked to breast cancer and prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is not a testosterone problem. It is an alpha estrogen receptor problem. 29:20 Beta estrogen receptor (ESR2) is protective against breast cancer, prostate cancer, Alzheimer’s and heart disease. It should be activated throughout your life, for both men and women. 29:54 Fake estrogens activate the alpha estrogen receptor, which shuts off the beta receptor. 30:20 Soy is a risk. It acts like estrogen. Soy activates both the alpha and beta estrogen receptors. Some people have a higher risk of breast cancer from soy because they have more estrogen alpha receptors. 32:10 Lignins in flax are good for you if your gut bacteria can break them down. If they don’t, lignins activate the alpha receptor. 32:20 Soy and flax have 100,000 units of estrogen. Other plant foods have under 1,000 units of estrogen. Fermented soy (tempeh, miso and fermented soy sauce) is under 100 units of estrogen. 34:30 Estrogen chemicals likely trigger early menopause and early puberty for girls. If you want to give mice and rats PCOS, give them estrogen chemicals. 37:50 Estrogen chemicals are released in sweat. Shower it off immediately. Our fat tissue stores estrogen chemicals. Rats given low dose atrazine got fat.

Researchers are discovering how exercise causes muscles to make fat burning hormones and molecules called exerkines. In this show we dive into the details about the health benefits linked with exercise and exerkines.
Save with code podcast at checkout Link to references and show notes: https://bit.ly/3QoKbQT Time Stamps 0:00 Skeletal muscle is an endocrine organ. 0:10 Movement stimulates your skeletal muscle organ to release endocrine-like hormones and myokines (aka exerkines) that have systemic effects upon the brain, heart, liver, bone, mood, and more. 1:10 Movement/exercise can have anti-cancer properties. 1:50 Increases in exerkines influence microRNA increases. 2:40 Skeletal muscle is the largest organ of your body by weight. 4:55 Volume and intensity of exercise determines the duration and quantity of release of exerkines. 5:15 Start: Do 3 to 5 exercises for 3 to 5 reps, 3 to 5 sets, 3 to 5 days per week. Do the things you like. 6:00 Exerkines have paracrine and autocrine effects that effect muscle, the entire endocrine system, fat cells, immune system, bone, and brain. 7:30 Habitual exercise can induce sustained elevated increase in exerkines and the associations with disease reduction. 10:15 After exercise, there is a transient increase in proinflammatory interleukins, and a post exercise increase from skeletal muscle with systemic anti-inflammatory properties. 12:10 The anti-cancer effects of exercise go beyond the reduction in bodyfat. 13:30 Exerkine milieu lasts for several hours after exercise cessation. 14:05 Exercise can prevent or delay the onset of neural degenerative conditions. 15:30 Adipose tissue can release exerkines. 16:10 Your liver is a major source of many acute and chronic exercise-responsive cytokines. 17:10 Exercise affects your gut microbiome.

04:34 Nasal breathing synthesizes nitric oxide, a vasodilator. This it helps regulate blood pressure. 06:38 Nasal breathing can be enabled with exercises that reinforce proper tongue position. 07:42 Your nose needs support from your tongue. 08:42 Sleep apnea appliances and training from a biological or epigenetic dentist may correct sleep apnea. 14:42 Your tongue should rest on your pallet just behind your front teeth. 15:52 The maxilla bone may not project forward could be because the tongue does not rest in the correct position, possibly from a tongue tie, from nutrient deficiencies or lack of use of mastication muscles during crucial times of growth. 16:59 The tongue is almost like an orthodontic appliance to hold the maxilla so it grows forward. 19:22 Organic baby formula has seed oils. 21:42 Indigenous people on ancestral diets have well formed jaws. They eat nutrient dense fibrous foods that include animal products. 23.02 In a tongue tie, the frenulum under the tongue, is short. There may be issues with latching for breast feeding. 24:02 Your facial structure is subject to epigenetic factors, not just genetics. 25:22 The root cause of most mouth breathing is having a small mouth, not big enough for the tongue. 27:37 Nose breathing is learned in part via breastfeeding. 28:07 Teeth imprints on your tongue may be an indication that your tongue is too big for your mouth. 30:32 An inability to breathe through your nose may be from food sensitivities. 32:07 Fat soluble vitamins play a key role in jaw development: A, D, E and K, with good fats, especially those from animals. 33:36 The perception of the Mediterranean diet is that it is high in fiber with few animal products. In reality, it is a seasonal diet with near daily consumption of red meat, fish, seafood, poultry, eggs and dairy. 51:22 Dermal fillers and other cosmetic procedures do not address the root cause of the problems in the face. |

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition impacting roughly one in four women of reproductive age. , In this show we discuss natural ways to reverse the underlying factors driving PCOS. Save 15% OFF on Berberine HCl and Myo-Inositol containing Sleep Formulations from MYOXCIENCE Save with code podcast at checkout Links to Studies, Images and the Video Version: https://bit.ly/3nMt9QJ
00:04 PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) is about 1 in 5 of women of childbearing age. 00:26 The root cause of PCOS is poor metabolic health. 01:54 Ovaries hyper secrete androgens that are linked with challenges within the ovaries and the formation of water-forming cysts. 02:39 Hormonal birth control is frequently prescribed to increase sex hormone binding globulin and neutralize the elevated androgens. 04:04 Some cytochrome P450 enzymes are involved in the formation of steroid-like hormones, like testosterone. 05:04 Insulin and IGF-1 increase the activity of a cytochrome P450 enzyme called CYP17A1, which then increases testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, and DHEA within the ovaries. 06:36 Excessive levels of androgens cause hair loss, infertility, lack of ovulation, and cause the formation of water forming cysts within the ovaries. 08:24 Autoimmunity often co-occurs with PCOS. 08:44 Deliberate cold exposure helps metabolic health by stimulating brown and beige fat cells. 09:54 Metabolic health increases the activity of enzymes that create hormones. It does the inverse in men and women. 10:04 Men’s poor metabolic health drives the formation of extra estrogen. 10:14 Women’s poor metabolic health drives the formation of extra testosterone. 12:44 97% of obese women have PCOS. 65% of non-obese women have PCOS. 13:14 Fat cells secrete hormones, called adipocytokines. One of these is leptin. 13:54 Leptin decreases activity of T-regulatory cells that help to prevent autoimmunity. 16:04 Belly fat cells convert androgens into estrogens. This is impacted by insulin. 18:14 Nutrition and exercise are fundamental ways to address poor metabolic health. 18:24 A ketogenic or low carb diet is helpful because it manages blood sugar and insulin, and ketones have immune signaling properties. 19:24 Intermittent fasting can support glycemic variability and improve insulin sensitivity. 19:46 Time restricted feeding with a 16 or 18 hour fast is also helpful for longevity, burning fat, and supporting metabolic health. 20:14 Poor sleep exacerbates insulin resistance. Tape your mouth shut when you sleep. 21:24 Resistance training decreases androgens in women with PCOS. All exercise supports underlying metabolic dysfunction. 22:24 Magnesium is helpful for supporting insulin sensitivity. 23:15 Myo-inositol and inositol makes ovaries more sensitive to insulin, preventing the increase in androgens. 24:04 Vitamin D is involved in blood sugar regulation, immune health, and sleep quality. 24:19 Gut health is important to metabolic health. Eat real food and ferments. 24:54 Berberine hydrochloride, 500 mg 1 to 3 times per day, is a natural Metformin. Studies Mentioned Witchel, S. F., & Plant, T. M. (2020).

In some circumstances, it can increase protein catabolism and mess with hormones. 04:10 Prolonged fasting is for people who are sedentary. RELATED: Check out the Autophagy Enhance MasterClass: 05:40 Exercising fasted does not lead to a good workout. 08:45 Prolonged fasting accelerates muscle loss. 09:15 Muscle Quality Index: muscle quality is linked to prevention of age-related diseases. 11:57 Exercise accelerates the same mechanisms that increase with fasting. 13:00 In a prolonged fast, you deplete liver and muscle glycogen, dropping your blood glucose. 13:50 Resistance training paired with time restricted feeding is the best of both worlds. 16:10 Mike feels better and is getting stronger now that he has backed off on his fasting frequency, intensity, and duration. 18:00 Ketones (BHB) help prevent muscle catabolism. 19:00 If you are insulin resistant and you lack the transport mechanisms to deliver ketone bodies into your muscles, your body will try to make glucose out of the amino acids in muscle. 21:25 Your ancestors ate heartily in summer when food was abundant and fasted in winter when food is scarce. 22:25 For body composition, stop eating at least 3 hours before your desired bedtime. 23:40 The minimum effective amount of fasting is 12 – 14 hours.

Dr. James DiNicolantonio: Using Salt, Creatine & Sauna to Get Stronger and Improve Exercise Performance
Dr. James DiNicolantonio shares amazing tips about how salt, hydration and sauna strategies can help improve strength and exercise performance. Support your Exercise Performance with the new Electrolyte Stix by MYOXCIENCE Nutrition: Save with code podcast at checkout Get Jame's New book Win: Time Stamps 03:15 Maintain your muscle and cardiovascular health through exercise. Reduce the risk of sarcopenia with resistance training, 30 – 60 min 3 – 4 times per week. Running at 60 – 70% of your max heartrate boosts your endurance. HIIT or super maximal interval training 2 – 3 times per week helps your cardiovascular system. 07:10 Preloading with salt and fluids is 10 to 20 times better than other supplements. Dosing salt correctly, allows you to exercise up to 20 minutes longer. Beta alanine allow you to vigorously exercise 1 to 2 minutes longer. 07:40 The main benefit from preloading with salt and fluids is from the boost in blood volume prior to vigorous exercise. You have an 8 to 10% drop in blood volume within 5 minutes of vigorous exercise. The biggest adaptation during vigorous endurance exercise is the attempt to increase baseline blood volume. 08:54 Elite athletes have a 40% increase in blood volume over typical males and females. High doses of salt and fluids should be reserved for just prior to competition. 10:32 Dehydration acclimation, inducing mild amounts of dehydration multiple times, can help build blood volume. 12:05 Before a typical workout, you can ingest 1,000 mg of sodium and 10 to 16 ounces of fluid. High levels used for competition would be 3,000 to 4,300 mg of sodium and about 26 ounces to 33.8 ounces of fluid. This matches to saltiness of your blood. 13:40 Increased blood volume increases cardiac output, decreases oxygen demand on the heart and gives you a larger volume to dissipate heat. We lose blood volume to sweat. You can better pull waste from your cells and better deliver nutrients. 15:30 Sauna therapy is similar in metabolic adaptations to dehydration therapy. When you become heat activated, your baseline core body temperature becomes lower. You have a larger pool to soak up heat. You can train and perform longer before the enzymes that produce ATP start shutting down. 16:05 When you are heat activated, your sweat becomes more dilute. You lose fewer electrolytes. The diluted sweat evaporates faster, so your cool faster. 16:34 To become heat activated, you need to do a sauna session every day for 2 weeks or so, raising your core body temperature to 101.3 and maintain it for 20 to 30 minutes. You can go as few as 4 days per week, but it will take you longer to achieve being heat activated. The benefits of doing this will last as long as 2 weeks, as long as you maintain a good exercise program. 18:57 Endurance exercisers with large blood volumes typically have good blood pressure. As long as your arteries vasodilate well, and you do not have increased vasoconstriction with increased blood volume, you should not see an increase in blood pressure. 20:07 Body temperature is highly influenced by circadian biology. Post exercise sauna for 13 sessions, improves performance by about 10%. 23:28 Postpone your cold plunge for 2 to 4 hours after exercise, if your goal is hypertrophy. Sooner than that inhibits some of your muscle size and strength gains from exercise. Elite athletes plunge directly after exercise to limit inflammation and accelerate recovery. 26:55 Exercise timing is individual and depends upon whether you are a morning person or a night owl. About 8 hours after you wake up is typically when you perform at your best. Your cognition is shot for a few hours after vigorous exercise. Exercise close to bedtime impacts your ability to go to sleep. 29:20 Avoid caffeine at least 6 hours before bedtime. 31:48 If you are a vegetarian, you are not getting many nutrients found in red meat. Carnitine is important for fat oxidation for fuel. Carnosine is an advanced glycation end product inhibitor and buffers acid produced during exercise. Beta alanine boosts carnosine levels. Taurine is an amino acid that helps with blood pressure, blood flow, antioxidant status in the central nervous system. 33:45 Red meat is more nutrient dense than chicken. Pork is 10 times higher in thiamine (vitamin B1). Consume liver (for vitamin A and copper) and heart (for coQ10) on a fairly consistent basis. Many of us are deficient in vitamin A and copper and anemia is driven by this. 35:10 Creatine improves cognition. 50% of methylation is for the creation of creatine in your body. Supplementing frees up that effort for you body. 36:35 Supplementing 3 to 5 grams of creatine per day brings most benefits. Eating red meat may not get you to that level. 37:20 The more hydrated your muscle is, the better blood flow, oxygen delivery and pump you get. Your muscle is about 75% water. Creatine enhances cell hydration. 38:40 Supplementing with creatine at doses of 5 grams per day is completely safe. 39:40 To induce hypertrophy, the key is to go near or to failure. Heavy weight is not necessary. Inositol helps to improve insulin sensitivity, thus preserving muscle mass. 41:51 For prolonged vigorous explosive activity, preloading with carbs improves performance. It helps you to tap your muscle glycogen reserves. There are benefits to training fasted. Metabolic flexibility is when you can burn either fats or carbs. 42:50 It is taxing to force your body to make glucose, rather than ingesting exogenous glucose. 45:00 Longevity populations are generally smaller and have less muscle mass than Americans, so they can get away with lower protein intake. Our needs are higher. 46:42 Exercise improves insulin sensitivity. Insulin resistance chronically elevates mTOR. 48:40 Elevated LDL (outside of genetic influences) is not a risk factor for increasing heart disease, in the face of good insulin sensitivity, low triglycerides, and good HDL. 49:30 Oxidized LDL is a contributor to heart disease. The amount of linoleic acid in LDL influences oxidation. Eating heart for ubiquinol and eating high quality meat for carotenoids, helps to protect LDL from oxidation. Increasing olive oil consumption increases monounsaturated fats in LDL, decreasing susceptibility to oxidation. 51:30 When you replace animal fats with vegetable oils, there is an increase in all-cause mortality. LPa is a functional marker of oxidation, with elevated LDL. 55:05 Salt intake recommendations are based upon expert opinion, not clinical evidence, or meta-analysis. Lowering salt intake barely lowers blood pressure. Some may have an increase in blood pressure with the decrease of salt intake. Decreases in blood pressure from reducing salt is from depleting blood volume. Stress hormones increase. 56:00 When you go below 3000 mg of sodium, all the stress hormones increase. Insulin resistance increases as well. 3000 to 5000 mg of sodium is associated with the least amount of rise in stress hormones and the lowest amount of risk of cardiovascular disease. |

Circadian lighting is the latest buzzword in health and medicine. Here’s a full breakdown of all things related to light exposure, sleep and circadian rhythms.
Support your Circadian Rhythm and sleep with MYOXCIENCE's targeted adrenal support nutrients in the morning and evening: Link to video and show notes: https://bit.ly/3wRRKcf Study Mentioned: Brown, T. M. et al. Recommendations for daytime, evening, and nighttime indoor light exposure to best support physiology, sleep, and wakefulness in healthy adults. Plos Biol 20, e3001571 (2022) Time Stamps:
00:35 Sleep is as important as a nutrient. 01:30 Artificial light at night can impair your attention the next day and impact melatonin and growth hormone release. 02:08 A Lux is a measurement of the intensity of light. 07:00 Mental health disorders should prompt an examination of light hygiene. 07:30 Light influences circadian rhythm, sleep, alertness, mood, and neuro, endocrine and cognitive function. 07:40 Retinal responses to light are important determiners of health, wellbeing and performance. 09:20 Receiving 100 lux or more light exposure in the evening, melatonin is significantly suppressed. 10:30 In intense light, retinal cells seem to transmit messages that it is daytime, relaying chemical cues to the main circadian clock hub suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in your hypothalamus, which is part of your hormonal regulatory system. 11:50 Daylight recommendation is 250 lux at the level of the eye. Being in the car or wearing sunglasses does not count. 13:15 Minimize exposure in the 3 hours prior to your sleep time to just 10 lux measured at the eye. A candle releases about 1 lux. Your phone is about 50 lux. 14:25 Sleep environment maximum ambient light exposure is 1 lux. 15:40 Just 5 lux during sleep has been shown to have significant increases in a myriad of cardiovascular biomarkers. 16:10 Light affects the rate at which you age at a cellular level. |

02:30 20%-50% of your protein synthesizing genes oscillate on a diurnal rhythm. 03:40 Disease alters the circadian clock system. 04:40 Blood sugar management supplements and pharmaceuticals would be best taken in the afternoon or evening, when blood sugar levels are most erratic. 05:03 Blood lipid level management supplements and pharmaceuticals would be best taken in the evening, when lipid synthesis occurs. 05:54 Decrease inflammatory tone before you go to sleep by doing some light yoga, breath work, take probiotics or curcuminoids. 07:30 Sleep perturbations cause dysbiosis in gut bacteria. 09:40 The intensity of your circadian rhythm is reduced as you age. 11:10 Circadian chronotypes influence the timing of cancer interventions. 12:00 N-acetylcysteine and other antioxidants are best taken in the evening or before bed. 12:40 Results of studies may be inaccurate due to timing. 15:20 Shift workers have a higher incidence of cancer, metabolic disease, and obesity. 14:50 Cold, food, heat, meal timing and exercise influence your circadian clock system. 17:20 Menopause challenges the circadian clock system, reducing the amplitude of the rhythms. 18:40 Young people/children’s circadian rhythm is more light sensitive. Artificial light can be more problematic. 23:00 Fasting and feeding influence your circadian clock system. Break your fast between 11 and 1 pm when your digestive system is primed. 24:45 DHEA antagonizes cortisol’s synthesis and expression. 28:05 Darkness is a circadian cue. Exercise light hygiene. 31:25 Morning cold exposure and evening heat exposure enhances circadian amplitude.

Time Stamps: 00:11 Creatine can specifically help females. Creatine kinase levels and creatine levels change throughout women’s menstrual cycle. Estrogen influences creatine levels and creatine kinase. Peri and post-menopausal women can benefit from creatine supplementation and more creatine in their food. 00:39 Creatine is involved in energy mobilization and metabolism in the brain. It affects glycine and GABA synthesis, and sleep. 00:55 Creatine influences athletic performance, muscular performance. As we age, we lose the ability to retain muscle mass. 01:25 Creatine is involved in helping babies develop in the placenta. 02:00 Creatine is found in chicken, pork, and beef. 02:11 Creatine helps with ATP synthesis and resynthesis in working muscles. It is not an anabolic agent. 02:28 Creatine is very safe for men and women. Early creatine supplements were paired with excessive amounts of sugar. 04:50 With ovulation, when estrogen is higher, there is an increase in creatine kinase and more focus on glucose oxidation. During the menstrual cycle may be the optimal time to supplement with creatine. 05:47 With the reduction of estrogen from menopause, peri and post-menopausal women may benefit from creatine supplementation. There is reduced creatine kinase activity. 06:21 Women have more to benefit from creatine supplementation because body stores are low. Intramuscular creatine levels in women are only 10% compared to that of men. 06:55 Vegan or vegetarian females have the most to gain from creatine supplementation. 07:10 Creatine boosts athletic performance during intense exercise. It helps to re-phosphorylate utilized ATP. ATP becomes ADP when you move your muscles, adenosine triphosphate to adenosine diphosphate. Creatine attaches another phosphorous group to the ADP. 08:10 During pregnancy, post-partum, menstruation, during and post menopauses, creatine supplementation may be important. Sex hormones affect creatine kinase activities and the expression of key enzymes for the endogenous synthesis of creatine. 12:40 Vegan or vegetarian females may want to take about 5 grams of creatine. You may do well with 1 or 2 grams of creatine if you have sufficient red meat and eggs in your diet. 14:08 Anaerobic work capacity, the ability to perform explosive short duration high intensity activities, after 5 days of creatine supplementation, increases as much as 22% anaerobic work capacity. 15:30 During pregnancy (shown in animal models), creatine supplementation enhances and augments neuronal cell uptake of creatine and supports mitochondrial integrity in offspring. This reduces brain injury. 16:00 During human pregnancy, creatine may provide a safe, low cost, nutritional strategy to reduce intra and post-partum complications associated with cellular energy depletion. 16:20 Brain cellular energy production shifts with changes in hormones of menopausal women. They may benefit from creatine supplementation. 17:00 Creatine is a possible countermeasure to menopausal decreases in muscle, bone, and strength, by reducing inflammation, oxidative stress and serum markers of bone reabsorption. Loss of muscle mass with age is linked with insulin resistance and reduced insulin sensitivity. 19:00 Depression rates are 2 times higher among females compared to males. This depression has been directly linked to with hormonal milestones, like puberty and menopause. 19:44 Creatine is involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters that influence how we feel. There is a positive relationship between cerebral spinal fluid levels of creatine and dopamine and serotonin metabolites. 21:00 There is a 31% greater incidence of depression in adults with low creatine intake. Mood and depression improves with increased creatine intake from diet and supplementation. 22:35 Brain metabolism to support stages of sleep and wavelengths associated with sleep can be improved with creatine. 22:46 Creatine supports greater neuronal ATP resynthesis, impacting memory, attention, and cognition. Brain concentrations vary with age, lifestyle choices and other factors. Sleep deprivation can deplete neuronal creatine levels. 23:30 A loading phase of creatine may be helpful. In general, of benefit may be a loading phase of 10 to 20 grams for about 5 days with a maintenance phase of 2 to 5 grams per day. Mike supplements with creatine before and after exercise (sometimes during). It is not stimulatory. |

Vitamin D sure gets a lot of airtime, but Vitamin A is equally as important to immune health and beyond. Here's some new details about this important fatty nutrient should know about. Save on essential micronutrients like Vitamins D and A in their most bioavailable forms at MYOXCIENCE: Use code podcast at checkout to save Links to video and images: https://bit.ly/vitamin-a-treg
01:15 The 3 forms of vitamin A are retinol, retinoic acid and retinal. Retinoic acid is the most bioactive form. Cod liver, liver and carrots are rich in vitamin A. 02:22 Vitamin A helps to induce immune tolerance. Autoimmune diseases are characterized by a loss of tolerance. The immune system overreacts to tissues that it shouldn’t. 03:44 You may benefit from increasing intake of vitamin A if you have allergies, skin issues or systemic autoimmune disease. Chronic use of vitamin A, 5,000 to 10,000 IU, may be beneficial. 04:05 If you believe that you have contracted an illness or pathogen, you can do short term supraphysiologic levels of retinoic acid or retinol. For non-pregnant adults, this is between 100,000 and 200,000 IU for several days. 05:20 Retinoic acid increases activity of T regulatory cells. 05:57 T regulatory cells help to pull back unrestrained inflammation and aggression toward cell tissues. Overweight and obese people have lower amounts of T regulatory cells. Leptin, from fat tissue, suppresses functional activity of T regulatory cells. 06:33 If you have a metabolic disorder, like obesity or insulin resistance, you can manifest immunologic disease like allergies, cancer, and susceptibility to severe infection. You can exercise, do some fasting, eat real food and try vitamin D and vitamin A supplementation from diet or supplements. 08:20 Mucosal immunity is immunoglobulin antibodies from T cells in the mucus membranes of your nose, lungs, saliva, and GI tract. Vitamin A helps to prime these immune cells as part of the mucosal memory. Your mucosa is part of your front-line defense, and they are highly influenced by vitamin A and vitamin D. 09:45 The retinoic acid receptor is very close to the vitamin D receptor, and they share signaling pathways.

Cholesterol's Failures: Why Clotting, Inflammation & Fatty Acid Status Matter More w/ Bill Harris, PhD
Bill Harris, PhD has been studying lipids, heart disease biomarkers, omega-3 fatty acids and omega-3 testing since 1980. He’s a wealth of knowledge in the area of how omega-3 fats impact behavior/aggression, cardiovascular disease, triglyceride metabolism and fat oxidation and more.*
RELATED: Save on this Omega-3 Index blood spot test using code podcast at checkout Link to Video and Notes: https://bit.ly/3CLKike
01:20 Omega 3s tend to be disregarded by the medical community because they are in the nutritional world. 03:46 The omega 3 index is a risk marker which can be affected by supplementation. 06:09 Every cell in your body has omega 3 in its membranes. If omega 3s are chronically low, your body wears out faster. 06:50 Omega 3s change cell membrane flexibility and fluidity. 07:35 Omega 3s are anti-inflammatory. They can prevent platelets from getting sticky. They lower triglycerides. They lower blood pressure. 10:21 Omega 3 can lower cholesterol. 11:02 Omega 3 and omega 6 work the same on cholesterol. 11:21 When you take saturated fat out of the diet, cholesterol goes down. 11:45 Fish oil pills with no change in diet did not bring down cholesterol levels. 15:17 You need both EPA and DHA, according to Dr. Harris. 18:34 Omega 3s shut down genes that make triglycerides. 19:44 Omega 3s may cool the inflammatory response. 21:04 Omega 3s don’t help with weight loss. 22:20 A study showed that fish oil help preserve lean muscle mass in resistance training and aerobics. 25:37 Omega 3s have been shown to be an antioxidant. Eat fish the day you cook it. 29:04 Individuals who have a history of violent crimes have low levels of omega 3s. Also, prisoners who cause more trouble in the prison, have lower omega 3s. 30:37 People with low omega 3s are more susceptible to panic and anxiety. 32:57 Raising HDL levels does not decrease cardio vascular risk, and some studies show it may increase it. 35:46 The omega 3 index is the amount of EPA and DHA in a red blood cell membrane. The red blood cell is tested because the amount of EPA/DHA is a reflection of the other cells in the body, and it is easier to access. 36:46 The average American tests at 4 to 5% on omega 3s, but 8 to 12% index is the target for optimal cardiovascular health. 39:20 A US Physicians Health study showed that a high omega 3 index is associated with about a 90% lower risk of sudden cardiac death. 40:43 Omega 3s prolong gestation. 42:53 There is evidence that omega 3s help both males and females with invitro fertilization and implantation. 47:04 Retest in 4 to 6 months. 47:15 Bovine digestion destroys precursors to EPA and DHA. There is a misconception that grass-fed beef is rich in omega 3. 51:49 Palmitate levels may be an indicator of de novo lipogenesis. Higher palmitate levels are associated with increased risk for diabetes. 53:31 Higher levels of linoleic omega 6 in blood are protective against cardiovascular disease and diabetes. 57:38 Dr. Harris’ Desert Island Nutrient: Omega 3 is the most missing nutrient from the American diet. 01:00:54 Dr. Harris’ Elevator Pitch: Get the FDA to approve omega 3 testing and get US government recommendation in an official dietary guideline. 01:02:05 Plant-based/land-based omega 3 products require gene modification. |

Creatine is a naturally occurring molecule in your body that helps create cellular energy in exercising muscles, among other benefits. We debunk the common myths and discuss the science you need to know about creatine!
Use code podcast at checkout to save at checkout Link to research, video and images: http://bit.ly/creatine-science Time Stamps: 00:30 Creatine helps to add phosphorous groups to ADP molecules to remake ATP. ATP is needed to move your muscles. 00:55 The food you eat is broken down into ATP. 01:00 People retained water back in the day when creatine was paired with dextrose (sugar). 03:16 Creatine is a metabolite comprised of 3 amino acids. Arginine, which helps to vasodilate and increase blood flow, glycine, and methionine. Glycine is part of the glutathione tripeptide. Methionine is a sulfur-containing amino acid. 04:15 You have over 100 grams of creatine in your body. It is found primarily in your muscle tissue because they are energetically demanding. 05:30 Some cuts of beef contain 9.6 mg/gram of dry weight of creatine. Beef is rich in creatine, taurine and carnosine. It also has beta alanine. 06:05 Wheat, soy, potato, and corn contain zero creatine, taurine, beta alanine, and carnosine. If you eat red meat, you are probably getting plenty of creatine. 07:00 ATP is fundamental to cellular processes that underpin skeletal muscle contraction during exercise. Muscle stores little ATP. Metabolic pathways are activated to maintain ATP resynthesis. 07:45 Creatine functions mainly at the muscle level. 09:00 Creatine supplementation can be a multifactorial intervention across the lifespan in women with little to no side effects. Creatine is not an androgen. It is involved in energy utilization and recycling. 09:35 Creatine supplementation combined with exercise provides musculoskeletal and performance benefits in older adults. 10:10 Creatine paired with electrolytes can improve power output and strength, because it works during the workout. 11:10 Anaerobic power and strength is improved with creatine paired with electrolytes (magnesium, potassium, calcium, and sodium). There was a 10 to 15% benefit in the intervention group in the WWU study.Improvement/progress is motivating. 15:25 As you age, you naturally lose strength and muscle. Supplemental creatine may help counteract some of the strength loss. 15:55 Electrolytes like, magnesium, sodium, and potassium, are transporters used to aid in the absorption and utilization of creatine. 17:40 Creatine uptake is directly impacted by presence of sodium, chloride, and calcium. Creatine uptake is reduced by up to 47%, when there is no calcium or magnesium in extracellular fluid. When concentrations of sodium and chloride are increased, uptake increases, even with no additional creation concentrations. Sodium and chloride are both needed for transport. 19:10 Electrolytes are often taken after a sauna session or before, during or after a workout. Sauna moves a lot of blood in and out of your core.

New science suggests circadian rhythms, sleep cycles and meal times powerfully influence how you age. As boring as it sounds, being a creature of habit and minding your circadian rhythms may be among the top ways to optimize the biology of aging.
Link to Show Notes and Research: https://bit.ly/3Kh38TC 00:36 As we age our circadian rhythm becomes altered. Phenotypes of ageing: wrinkles, gray hair, decline in function, muscle mass loss, metabolic disease, high blood pressure, insulin resistance, sleeplessness and alterations in sleep/wake cycles, can be the result decreased amplitude and intensity of your circadian clock system. 01:24 Be vigilant about your sleep and wake times and meal timing. Food influences your body’s peripheral circadian clock system, which provides feedback to the central clock system. 03:13 Your circadian clock system is intimately connected with your metabolism and the rate at which you age. 03:26 Take screens out of your bedroom. Go to bed at the same time every night. Be strict. 06:52 Be consistent with your meal timing. Your body has a second meal effect and is anticipating food at your regular mealtime. Food and exercise influence your peripheral circadian clock system. 08:26 Your metabolism, nutrient sensing enzymes and receptors are improved with exercise, fasting and low carb diets. These enzymes and receptors influence the circadian clock system. 09:16 Poor sleep negatively impacts metabolic health. Improving your metabolic health works to improve imbalances in the circadian clock system, which improves sleep, which improves metabolic health. Night shift workers have higher rates of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and cancer. 10:41 The ageing phenotypes that you express at the end of your life, is connected to the health of your circadian clock system. 11:56 Take blood sugar support supplements later in the day when you are more insulin resistant. 12:31 Chrononutrition and chronopharmacology utilizes genetic and metabolomic analysis to determine timing of cancer drugs. Your immune system is more active earlier in the day. 14:51 Light exposure in the evening, not just blue light, alters the function of your circadian clock rhythm. Match your light exposure to that of your outdoor environment. 17:40 Children are more sensitive to light exposure, especially at night. They have a greater degree of melatonin suppression when they are exposed to light. Screens at night for children accelerates their ageing, alters their metabolism, alters insulin metabolism, causes cravings of junk food, alters behavior, and impacts memory, sleep quality, and facial development. 18:51 Invest in a pair of blue light filtering glasses.

It’s common knowledge that calorie restriction is a validated strategy to extend lifespan and delay the onset of age-associated diseases. But there’s a new wrinkle that’s muddied the waters of this calorie restriction (CR) research, which, needless to say, has up to now been derived mainly from studies conducted in rodents (animal models).

When it comes to weight loss, there's two primary models to explain the best strategy: The carbohydrates-insulin model and the calorie imbalance, also known as the CICO model. In this show we discuss the strengths and weaknesses of these models and how to best approach fat loss. Support Healthy Hydration and Exercise Performance with new Electrolyte Stix by MYOXCIENCE Nutrition: https://bit.ly/3uAWrV6 Link to Show Notes, Video and Articles: https://bit.ly/3BxR63o
01:35 Physicians are taught that weight loss is only triggered by caloric restriction. It is the traditional energy balance model. 02:00 The traditional energy balance model does not consider your circadian rhythm or phenotypes, like those of us who over-excrete insulin, have epigenetic factors, or have adaptive thermogenesis. 02:20 Cyclical dieting down regulates your resting metabolic rate, adaptive thermogenesis. 03:20 The carbohydrate/insulin model of obesity is centered around insulin. Hyperpalatable ultra-processed high glycemic foods increase the energy circulating in your blood, causing a compensatory hyperinsulinemic physiologic state. This causes a decrease in the amount of nutrients in your bloodstream after you eat. Your blood energy reduces to levels below before you ate, causing hunger and over-eating at the next meal. 05:35 Cellular semi-starvation: In a high sugar/high insulin state, fat cells accumulate energy intended for the now insulin resistant muscles, they undergo lipogenesis, storing lots of energy. Therefore, there is a lack of energy in the bloodstream. Your brain believes that your critical tissues are starving. 06:40 Hormones surge in this state of cellular semi-starvation; there is a surge of adrenaline, noradrenaline, and cortisol. 07:10 In drugs that increase insulin, insulin signaling caused fat gain of up to 5 pounds in a 2-month period. 07:35 The energy balance model considers all calories as metabolically equal. 08:05 Hyperpalatable ultra-processed high glycemic foods lend themselves to overconsumption and hormone alteration. 08:20 Energy intake is regulated by insulin, hunger satiety cues from the brain, leptin, ghrelin, and habits. A few nights of poor sleep increases hunger. 09:00 The more lean muscle mass you have, the more you increase your resting metabolic rate. 10:00 Insulin is pleiotropic, meaning it does many different things within your body. 13:50 Biggest Loser 6 year follow up study revealed that many participants continued to gain wait after their participation in the program’s rapid weight loss. When they regained their weight, their resting metabolic rates were depressed lower than when they started. 15:45 The energy balance model works best for young fitness competitors and bodybuilders. 16:40 A high glycemic diet increases levels of glucose in the blood, causing alterations in gut hormones and the insulin to glucagon ratio. 17:10 To get into a fat burning physiologic state, you need low glucose, low insulin and elevated glucagon. The insulin to glucagon ratio helps to unlock stored fat, increases your liver’s synthesis of ketones, and helps your white fat behave more like brown fat, increasing your resting metabolic rate. 20:00 Weight centered approaches to weight loss does not lead to lasting improvements in muscle mass or cardio-respiratory or favorable changes in overall health risk. 20:43 Sustainable changes are made when focusing on improving fitness, strength, muscle mass, sleep quality, HRV lead, independent of weight loss. 21:00 Physically fit people, no matter their weight, have a significant reduction in all-cause mortality compared to unfit individuals of the same body weight category. 22:34 Weightlifting and interval training are better ways to reduce all-cause mortality and risk for severe COVID, improve cardio-respiratory fitness and better way to help with fat loss. 26:20 Eating less causes adaptive thermogenesis. Instead, you could practice time restricted feeding and eat higher quality food. |
