Testosterone surge after an all-nighter
I have noticed that after pulling an all-nighter I have a massive testosterone increase. All the physiological signs were there, but just to double check I have tested it. Got 1050 ng/dl; my regular is 700-800 (also tested in the morning). I usually feel it when I see the sunrise for obvious reasons. Why could that be? Obviously all-nighters are harmful for T and overall health, but the fact that it is so high in the mornings is very intriguing.
Diet? IF, Fasting Mimicking & protein?
Hey there! Diet research has me confused! I’ve experienced increased stamina as a runner following a 16/8 Intermittent fast. Are there other benefits to an IF diet? Also, I keep hearing I need over 100 grams of protein daily, but Dr Longo found lower protein levels favorable to autophagy in a fasting mimicking diet. Is there a way to optimize my diet to support distance running, recovery & autophagy? Thanks so much! ElizabethThomas
How to combine a one meal a day eat eating style with high performance?
High performance in both aspects: physical and mental. I want to implement a one meal a day, but I have many questions as to what is the optimal way to live/plan your day: 1) When is the best time to exercise under this condition? 2) At what point during my day should I have my meal? Because I have to include so many calories on that one meal (target would be at leat 2000 calories), I find it very hard to make the meal have a low glycemic load. Thus, almost always spikes my blood sugar/insulin. That has led me to conclude that is probably better to have a dinner. What do you think? Thank you!
Behavioral Impacts on Epilepsy?
My little brother has epilepsy. What does the existing research and literature suggest about combining dietary and exercise changes with prescription medicine to mitigate seizures (both in occurrences and severity)? Or if you have a podcast episode concerning this, would you point me to it?
