Dr. Rhonda Patrick: Micronutrients for Health & Longevity
Huberman Lab
I've been Taking Magnesium for a Long Time.
Short chain aut fatty acids are good for the gut. I take malat because i was told that it would be helpful. It doesn't make me sleepy like some of the other forms of magnesium, which act as a mild sedative for me. They do tap into the gabergic pathwaynor transmitter.
My guest is Rhonda Patrick, Ph.D. She earned her doctoral degree in biomedical science from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center and has become one of the leading public health educators on the brain and general health, aging, cancer, and nutrition. We discuss the four major categories of micronutrients that regulate cellular and organ stress and antioxidants, inflammation, hormone regulation, immune system, and longevity. Dr. Patrick provides actionable protocols for obtaining key micronutrients from food and/or supplement-based sources. Additionally, Dr. Patrick outlines protocols for deliberate cold and deliberate heat exposure to benefit metabolism, cardiorespiratory fitness, mental health, and lifespan.
