Yerba Mate protocol for weight management and satiety

You've mentioned yerba mate could be a good tool to suppress hunger and for weight management. I can not find dosages in the literature. If one was to recommend this to a client, and if the client was going to brew yerba mate himself (so not taking the pills form), what would be the recommended protocol? I found 3 cups as a reference but that doesn't really help - how many grams of leaves per cup and recommended infusion time? Thank you!

Deglycation

It seems that one potential cause of metabolic syndrome is the high caloric intake and the downstream aspects of glucose and especially fructose binding to proteins. Fasting and/or calore restriction helps but are there other methods what are the tripping points ofdeclycation and would this lead to better health...

Jet Lag - how can we measure where we are in transitioning our circadian cycle to a new time zone?

I travel between Tel Aviv and the States, which can be a 7 - 10 hour time difference. I've been using my temperature minimum to design protocols to use before I go and when I land, but I have trouble calculating a protocol to follow on the way back. Especially if I'm only there for a few days. I've heard transition estimates of 1 - 1.5 hours per day, but after 5 - 7 days that leaves about 2.5 - 3.5 hours of uncertainty 😱. Is there a way that we can check where we are in our transition? Perhaps an easy way to measure our temperature minimum at night, or perhaps our temperature max during the day?

Electronic muscle stimulation

Is there any science behind electronic muscle stimulation devices (e.g. PowerDot) often used by physiotherapists to heal injuries more quickly? Can these devices help to recover more quickly from an intense workout?

Importance of using a script for NSDR

I tried your script (via YouTube) for NSDR and found it helpful. I am wondering, however, how important it is to use an external script on an ongoing basis. I have tried lying down and relaxing and letting my mind empty while listening to binaural beats. I fine this very restful but wonder how it might different from having guidance.
