Mindsip insights from this episode:
Implement time-restricted eating to outperform diabetes medication
In a recent study, diabetics who restricted their eating to a 10-hour window reduced their hemoglobin A1c by 20%, an effect greater than some medications can achieve.
Choose moderate exercise to reduce stress and inflammation
For reducing stress and inflammation, studies show that moderate-intensity exercise is more effective than high-intensity exercise, which can actually increase stress hormones.
Combat cortisol receptor resistance to boost immune response
Similar to insulin resistance, chronic mental stress can cause your cells to become resistant to the hormone cortisol, which blunts your immune response.
Utilize fever therapy to treat neurosyphilis
A psychiatrist won the Nobel Prize in 1927 for curing neurosyphilis by intentionally infecting patients with malaria to induce high fevers.
Avoid high-protein, low-carb diets to reduce COVID-19 risk
A study on frontline physicians found that a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet was associated with an almost four-fold increased risk of severe COVID-19.
Limit red meat to reduce inflammation from sialic acid
Red meat contains a sialic acid (Neu5Gc) that the human body sees as foreign, triggering an immune response and inflammation.
Utilize heat therapy to boost immune response
Raising your body temperature to around 39°C (102.2°F) can trigger a tenfold increase in the production of interferon, a key protein that fights viruses.
Turn off screens instead of using red light filters for better circadian rhythm
A recent study showed that red light filters on devices do not help reset your circadian rhythm, and it's better to just turn the screen off entirely.
Experience nature to boost immunity and lower stress
A study found that while inhaling tree oils (phytocides) can boost immune cells, only being physically in nature also reduces the stress hormone cortisol.
