Mindsip insights from this episode:
Reduce inflammation rapidly with stabilized sulforaphane
An internal study showed that taking stabilized sulforaphane reduced the key inflammatory cytokine IL-6 by 30% within 24 hours.
Activate NRF2 with sulforaphane to boost glutathione production
Activating NRF2 with sulforaphane prompts your cells to produce their own glutathione internally, which may be more effective than taking most oral glutathione supplements.
Evaluate iodine levels to understand broccoli's impact on thyroid health
The concern that broccoli compounds suppress the thyroid is only valid if you have low iodine; otherwise, sulforaphane may actually improve thyroid function.
Combine mature broccoli with sulforaphane supplements for optimal benefits
Even when taking a sulforaphane supplement, you should eat mature broccoli to get the synergistic compounds DIM and I3C, which are not in broccoli sprouts.
Utilize low-dose nicotine to mimic exercise and protect against neurodegeneration
Low-dose (1-5mg) pharmaceutical nicotine is proposed as an exercise mimetic that raises PGC-1α and may protect against neurodegenerative diseases.
Strengthen gut barrier to remodel microbiome health
Tightening the gut's cellular junctions with NRF2 activation causes the microbiome to remodel itself, suggesting the gut barrier is a primary driver of microbiome health.
Recognize vivid dreams as indicators of brain health benefits
Experiencing vivid dreams after taking sulforaphane is a sign that it is successfully increasing Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF).
Utilize broccoli sprout extract to reduce autism symptoms
A Johns Hopkins study found that a broccoli sprout extract reduced symptoms in older autistic individuals by an average of 30%, with some seeing up to a 70% improvement.
