Mindsip insights from this episode:
Limit long-term use of acid blockers to prevent IBS and nutrient deficiencies
Acid-blocking drugs, intended for short-term use, are often prescribed for decades and can cause irritable bowel syndrome and nutrient deficiencies.
Address irritable bowel to alleviate anxiety and emotional issues
An irritable bowel can actually cause an irritable brain, leading to anxiety and emotional issues, highlighting a bidirectional relationship.
Apply topical magnesium to enhance sleep without digestive issues
To avoid the digestive issues caused by oral magnesium supplements, you can use topical magnesium to get its sleep and relaxation benefits.
Listen to your gut: it guides brain communication
90% of the communication along the vagus nerve is from the gut telling the brain what to do, not the other way around.
Leverage gut melatonin for enhanced health benefits
There is upwards of 400 times more melatonin found in your gut than in your brain's pineal gland.
Moderate melatonin intake to maintain receptor effectiveness
Taking too much supplemental melatonin may not reduce your body's own production, but it can downregulate the receptor sites for it, making it less effective.
Prioritize exercise over metformin for blood sugar and inflammation control
Exercise is way better than the drug metformin for regulating the longevity pathway AMPK, which helps control blood sugar and inflammation.
