Apigenin bioavailability and stability when isolated
You recommend 50mg of Apigenin for Sleep - I assume this is in capsule form? However, apigenin seems to be very instable and have low bio-availability when it's isolated. What about that? More general, what is your opinion on this Sleep Stack with as goal sleep quality and recovery for athletes: 1. 50mg apigenin 2. 250mg mg bisglycinate 3. 200mg l-theanine 4. 270mg myo-inositol 5. 400mg tart cherry extract
mental helath in conditions of prolonged stress
I am interested in whether there are any scientific studies that would tell more about how to maintain mental health in conditions of prolonged stress, and with the understanding that things will not be good in the near future. In fact, it is about the situation in Ukraine, where armed aggression by russia has been going on for 1.5 years: when the stress is prolonged and continuous, along with this, the option of optimism or hope that everything will be fine soon cannot be a factor of support.
Stress is enhancing mindset
In a recent episode discussing the growth mindset, Dr. Huberman stated: "I don’t want you to think that's the take-home message. Sometimes stress can enhance performance, as was demonstrated in this research paper. However, often, as we know, stress diminishes our performance. It can divert us from the targets we aim for and hinder us from achieving the grades we desire..." This statement seems to contradict the essence of the "stress-enhancing mindset", where stress is viewed as a mobilizer, enabling and channeling our resources towards the goals we want to accomplish. So, my question is, how can we reconcile these two statements? Additionally, I have another query related to the sensations of stress. In my experience, they are unpleasant and can actually detract from what I aim to achieve or focus on. So, when striving towards a goal, should we endure these physical sensations? Or are there techniques to alleviate these unpleasant feelings? in other words, When adopting a 'stress-enhancing mindset,' should we remind ourselves that the physical sensations of stress are simply our body's response to challenges? Should we embrace these sensations, or should we actively work to alleviate them to better focus on the objectives we want to achieve?
Ice Vest in Sport
You have talked in the past about 'palmer cooling' and how cooling the hands and bottoms of the feet are the best places to cool the core. Why then are so many athletes still using ice/cooling vests?Professional cycling teams put a lot of time and money into research but i noticed all the top teams and riders using them pre-race this year at le Tour de France. What are your thoughts? Thanks!
