Sheri (White) New

Scientific Vitality Suggestions (TM) is a new Vitality Explorer feature focused on helping high-capacity people take the friction out of staying vital. Every week I read dozens of scientific papers in search of specific actionable ideas to help us improve our physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being. Here are this week’s recommendations: 1. Eat a handful of peanuts once a day to improve your brain blood flow and memory. 2. Drink a small amount of 100% cranberry juice to reduce your dental plaque. 3. Belly fat and smoking both increase systemic inflammation and the risk of cardiovascular disease. Eat less and eat less often to reduce your waistline. Also, stop or never smoke. What do you think @LoriShemek All of these recommendations are based on peer reviewed published papers. Here is a link to the full post to review the data: vytext.com/2p9dsjfz Follow me for more information about how to optimize your vitality & performance.

Berberine lowers LDL cholesterol in randomized trials. I'm interested in how that connects to ApoB, artery plaque, and the gut microbiome. A meta-analysis pooling 14 placebo-controlled trials found an average LDL reduction of approximately 18 mg/dL. Recent randomized-trial evidence also found reductions in ApoB, which estimates the number of circulating particles that can contribute to atherosclerosis. Early clinical evidence also suggests berberine can reduce plaque in the arteries. And at least one of those studies also found a modest reduction in TMAO, a metabolite linked to gut microbial metabolism and implicated in atherosclerosis. One interesting detail from the newer research: ApoB decreased in both men and women, with a larger response in women. In a new placebo-controlled trial in women, berberine lowered ApoB by about 13 mg/dL relative to placebo. Researchers compared those results with an earlier trial in men and found evidence suggesting women had a stronger lipid response. What is interesting is that this may just be a dose-dependent effect. In a separate study, women had almost three times the blood exposure to berberine after the same dose. Together, these findings make berberine a promising compound for cardiovascular health, with potential benefits spanning lipid metabolism, artery health, and the gut microbiome.

BREAKING: Study finds 10g of creatine per day added 2.4 POUNDS of lean mass in 12 weeks WITHOUT EXERCISE. Creatine ALONE also improved: - Muscular strength - Muscular endurance - Cognitive processing speed - Delayed memory recall - Episodic memory - HbA1c - Triglycerides - HDL cholesterol - VLDL cholesterol Combining creatine WITH EXERCISE produced even greater physical gains and additional improvements in memory and cognitive processing. Some of the increase in lean mass may reflect increased intracellular water from creatine, not solely new muscle tissue. Importantly, this was a gold-standard study design: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

Andrew Huberman has two free tricks for when you wake up at 3 A.M. He says most people's cortisol is too high at night, when sleep needs it low. He shared 10 daily protocols to fix that, and the tricks come last: 1) Drink 16 to 32 ounces of water on waking

This is insane… An advanced Alzheimer’s patient just REGAINED her memory, speech, mobility, AND bladder control after a SINGLE dose of psilocybin. There are NO Alzheimer’s drugs capable of doing anything CLOSE to this.

Make it spectacular…..🎶🎵🎺
